Pros

You'll learn a thing or two and grow in the industry.

Cons

Employees here at Filamatic receive terrible support from the leadership. To be honest, I rarely feel the presence and guidance of our management. Instead, we get micromanaged by our supervisors all the time. Instead of guidance, what we get is constant, unnecessary meddling from the leadership.

Pros

Filamatic has been around for 70 years and is a well established family owned manufacturing business. A significant number of the employees have been there over 10 years with many staying 30 and 40+ years. Leadership is open to ideas and focused on investing in key areas of the business to foster growth. Being a small company you often have the ability to wear many hats and see the impact your contributions make to the company.

Cons

Change can be difficult for some people, but it is necessary to ensure the continued longevity of the company.

Pros

None besides having positive co-workers.

Cons

During my time here at Filamatic, I was overloaded with tasks. I was extremely overworked with no room to breathe and abused by the management. I was given unreasonable amounts of work by our managers, and they didn't really care if I had my schedule full and felt exhausted. I made the best choice of leaving this horrible company.

That is an unfortunate situation that you felt you were in. I am happy that you had a positive experience with your coworkers. We do have some fantastic team members who have been with us for years, with over 1/3 of our employees having been here for more than 10 years. We have also had quite a bit of changes within leadership roles that I am sure contributed to the increased work and leadership styles that are not aligned with our values. One of our core values is continuous improvement and that is something we are committed to. We have made numerus changes to not only bring in some really great leaders but also provide them and all employees more support and encouragement to proactively voice any challenges. We strive to address them and make sure we are providing the environment that continues to have a consistently strong base of employees who have and continue to spend decades with Filamatic.
