Cons
- Some racially insensitive co- workers and outside contractors. There were two baffling displays of unprofessional and insulting racial insensitivity, one in front of management and all of the employees by a outside contractor hired to train the staff regarding safety, and the other was by a long time Crane Currency employee in front of a group of employees. On both occasions, there were no disciplinary actions taken. - Unsafe work environment, poor air quality, a lot of fork lift traffic with blind turns in areas that have spontaneous foot traffic, cockroaches and mice in same area allotted to employees to eat and rest, the mill was dilapidated and falling into the neighboring river, the floor is very old and weakened in many areas that we were required to operate fork lifts - Poor training provided by co-workers that barely covers your jobs requirements and duties. Supplemented by a trivial computer application that most of the employees google the answers to, that usually covers safety protocols - Management is too detached from the day to day work environment, and openly play favorites. Allowing the favorites to alter their own work schedule, affecting other employees schedules, and even permitting some to work together; in direct violation of company policy - Over working employees to keep up with customer demand, some employees drive over a hour to work, but are pressured to do double shifts. Preventing them from getting adequate sleep, and putting them at risk. - Sporadic work schedule, involving a swing shift - Some employees are constantly starting verbal altercations
