Extreme micromanagement by our corporate office who overwork everyone without good benefits or good compensation. In the time I've been here, they have gone from making each location a fun and happy work place to a miserable and degrading atmosphere. The corporate leaders take no pride in creating a workplace that makes their employees feel valued or appreciated. Most locations struggle with getting good help and most local management knows they cannot drug test their workforce or they would lose almost half of their employees. Most employees in the California Plant qualify for government assistance programs due to poor pay.
An Example of the Greed: Our company claimed to be paying 22k for our health insurance premiums on our PPO plan. To offset this, they "gave" us the option for a High Deductible Health plan at the same premium rate, and jacked the price up on our old PPO plan to make its almost to expensive for anyone to afford. The new High Deductible plan costs the company only 11k per healthcare premium. So with at least half of the workforce switching 200+ people times 11k (half of the old premium they claimed to pay), the company saved 2.2 million dollars and continues to raise the premium healthcare prices while saving more and more money as employees are forced to switch to the High Deductible plan because the pay here is to low to be able to afford the inflated premium. (which they more than doubled)
