One of the worst companies to work for in my opinion: Employees are hired with college degrees, experience and knowledge but paid like a high school student. This isn't an after-school job; we have families we are supporting and bills that need to be paid. Employees in high position roles are getting paid eye-popping amounts of money while the factory workers and office employees are being totally ripped off. Departments have managers who have either cried their way to the top or done "special favors," you will be rewarded for kissing behind, keeping your mouth shut and not speaking up. Expect to be treated with little to no respect from employees above you who feel some sort of entitlement, even though they have little experience in the field they are working in and only hold a managerial position because all the other employees have quit. Clique-ish behavior is very apparent in the office, get in good with a manager and kiss their behind, be their best friend suddenly, jump when they say jump and you should be good. Given lots of responsibilities, which make you think you will get a promotion, raise and grow within the company but instead you are just expected to do it and stay quiet. No point in speaking up to HR as they have a close tie with the boss who will just ignore your complaints or you will end up getting fired for it as I saw to a couple employees. VERY high turnover rate, 20+ employees quit or fired within 1 year is ridiculous! Upper management does NOT communicate with staff at all, never sent out an email saying that sick days would NOT be paid out so employees decided to use days up and when upper management found out they didn't pay employees for those days, SERIOUSLY? Who does that, those are days WE earned, WE worked hard for and they were OURS to use! There's not even a bathroom on the 2nd floor of the building! SMH. Rumors of certain managers sleeping with the boss circulated, and even if it wasn't true, there should not be room for rumors like that to be spread, but actions speak louder than words. Even the plastic silverware that was provided in our VERY small lunchroom was taken away due to "high cost." Really? Don't expect to travel for work; they don't want to pay for airfare. If you do get the chance, expect to take your OWN car, they don't want to pay for airfare. Also expect to stay with another co-worker, maybe one you just met or a sales person you don't even know, they don't want to pay for your own room or your own bed, you might have to share that too (NO KIDDING, it happened!) If you are hourly don't expect to be treated like salary workers, they can work 6hrs and leave for the day for Dr. appt, emergencies, etc. If you are hourly, you MUST take a half day, no exceptions. Hourly also does not get overtime because upper management will NOT approve it, and if you are salary be prepared for them to take full advantage of that, making you work later then 5pm and some weekends. Don't be fooled by promises made by managers and upper management, they will feed you things you want to hear to make you stay but its all talk and no action. Never received any promotions, any team building activities, or advance classes to grow our skills like we were promised. Nothing changes in this company except the employees ...they quit often after understanding that this company is run by clowns, who are selfish and are only out to make a dollar for themselves.
