EMD-Cheswick, Current management is terrible. Used to be great

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Salary and benefits are about average

Cons

Current management micromanages and bullies employees. Morale at an all time low. No teamwork, no support. Used to be a great place to work with little-no turnover. It has become a painful place to work with no appreciation or respect.

Started off great, and ended in shambles.

Pros

Good benefits, nice people, regular updates about the status of the company.

Cons

Overwhelming workload, incompetent management, fear mongering, and...I don’t use the word “hellhole” often, but there is a reason why everyone under 50 years old is looking elsewhere.

Probably the most miserable place I have ever worked.

Pros

Benefits are decent but if you stay there I am very certain the life insurance will not pay out for suicide. There are some truly good people there who keep their heads down saying nothing as they are walked on.

Cons

Well this is going to be long. Management has a fail upwards mentality. They take credit for your success as they blame their failures on those who work for them. They place people into roles they are absolutely not qualified for in every aspect of the company. They also watch people resign who do good work and say absolutely nothing. When you try to advance your career you’re told numerous lines such as “It would set you up for failure.” and “Your last training was not related to the position.” All the while they hire people with little to no experience so they can lowball their pay. If I had a worst enemy I wouldn’t recommend them to work at that place
