Pros

Insurance is Blue Cross Blue Shield Benefits start on day 1 3 week vacation a year from the start

Cons

Very unmanaged when it comes to communication Very hard to resolve issues or problems through HR Very poor new employee training policies They do not calculate your previous experience or skill set when training. I have done this job for over 20 years and still had to train with somebody for a month, who treated me like I was new to this and refused to recognize that I was a 20 year skilled professional when coming in. It was very undermining and frustrating.

Pros

Benefits, Pay and Work Schedule

Cons

Employees are threatened or retaliated against for reporting unsafe acts or hazardous conditions. Multiple employees have been terminated after incidents, with management claiming “policy violations” even though everyone on the floor knows the real reason. At Cressona, your success has little to do with your performance. It’s about who you know, not the quality of your work. High-performing employees are treated poorly, while substandard workers who are close to certain managers are moved into better positions—and sometimes even promoted. This year alone, Hydro has lost several talented employees due to weak, inconsistent, and retaliatory leadership from the GM/VP. The same leader who promotes concepts like Psychological Safety and Human & Organizational Performance is the same one who pressures managers to fire employees for reporting hazards. Cressona is not a place to grow your career—it's where careers go to die. If you’re considering a job at Hydro Cressona, keep the following in mind: Reporting safety issues may put your job at risk Favoritism outweighs performance Leadership does not practice what it preaches Talented employees often leave—or are pushed out Proceed with caution.
