Great team but senior leadership lacks commitment

Sr program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Well documented procedures, at least at the corporate level. Salary and benefits pretty much on par with everybody else. Great people to work with. We finally got a GM that can get the site on the right track.

Cons

As soon as there is a downturn in the forecast (big contract not signed). Senior leadership shuts down the whole site.

Floor production staff is awesome; office staff not so much. Average blah company.

Cons

Managers are poorly trained. Cheap salaries. Very poor work culture- ignores holidays, employee picnic/ get-togethers. Burdensome non-value work.
