Outdated values and mismanagement is bringing this place down
Pros
The benefits in terms of dental and healthcare are decent. Much better than paying out of pocket of course. Management doesn't turn down time-off requests and even lets you take no-pay time off if you need to. Just be smart about it.
Cons
Supply chain engineer is a fabricated title that is really an associate purchaser. I'm assuming this title will be changed to whatever you put down are your interests. Beware when applying. You are the person who quotes, buys material and parts, and talks to subcontractors. The position title advertised to you does not mean you will be doing what is on your resume/ what you went to school for. You will be a buyer and quoter at the end of the day. This company is unfortunately on the decline. 7 employees have now left, including myself, in the past 3 months. This is obviously a sign of poor management and changing times. People are still being denied raises amid the absorption of these salaries no longer being paid. The reward system to do better and improve is nonexistent here. You will be worked to your max until you're mentally done, or make a mistake and have an hour long meeting attached to it, thinking this will solve the issue. Not knowing things outside of this scope results in one quick lesson and then being expected to remember and compound with all the other things you are hardly taught. If you need help from your assigned manager, good luck. They will most likely be in meetings every day and not open to help in the moment. These meetings happen every day behind closed doors on top of their scheduled two meetings every day. If you aren't afraid to ask questions, great, your chance to ask your questions are not great at place like this where your job changes every day. In terms of values, this place is not great. Employees are not praised or encouraged for doing a good job or maintaining their current performance. Executives laugh at employees who tried to help the company out after leaving. They also swear and do not maintain professionalism in front of employees. Multiple employees have been verbally yelled at and undermined in public areas. You can not treat a person like this regardless of their performance or mistake in the moment. You are not set up for success here. Any skills or trade secrets you know here will not be valued. Go work for a younger-staffed company that understands the changing times.
