Great place to get started - Anonymous employee Schultes Precision Manufacturing Employee Review

Thank you for your open and honest review of the current operations at SPM. I can see that you are a current employee and wanted to take this time to quickly tell you how much feedback like this points us in the right direction. I am glad that to see Ryan’s involvement in the operations is a pro in your opinion as well as our desire to learn more. I can say, personally, that I love the fact the Ryan is hands on and that he is desires all of us to be continual learners. I would like to respond to the points you have made and that we have listened to: 1. Bathrooms. We have recently enlisted the services of UST cleaning to help us address the cleanliness issues and UST have been doing a fantastic job! This is no excuse though for having poor quality bathrooms. The bathrooms are very dated and although the cleaning activities have been increased I personally do foresee the bathrooms getting better with time. Therefore we have begun to gather quotes for a complete remodel of the bathrooms and locker room area for our valued employees. We do hope to have the bathrooms replaced very soon! 2. Disorganized management and everything being done at the last minute. Again, thank you for the direct feedback. I agree with you. I personally have not been with the company that long, and I feel disorganized most days. When I attempt to put myself into the shoes of the employees on the shop floor I find it very difficult to process the information, directions and instructions being handed down to you a tough task to take in. No one should feel confused at work, and therefore please know that we are: a. Keep self-awareness, by asking you and all employees to give us feedback as often as possible. b. Further our education, by trying to improve our management styles and strategies through more structured formats that we are all learning at the same time. c. Asking for ideas, by asking our machinist to present and test out efficiency ideas and processes. d. Examining our values as a company to see not only what is important to us but also what is important to every employee. e. Changing our communication standards, by changing our delivery methods to see if we can accomplish better results. f. Being better mentors to all of you. 3. When someone does something wrong and said person(s) are not held accountable. This is never a direct answer, but I only know what I know and nothing else. This is again, when your feedback is some important. I can only hold someone accountable for poor performance and/or rule breaking when it becomes present in my eyesight or is brought to my attention. Please make sure to always remember to help each other as employees as much as possible, even in difficult situations like what you might be describing. If you witness someone doing “something” wrong please tell that person they are doing something wrong. Everyone’s behavior is always logical to that person, therefore that person might not know he/she is doing anything wrong and sometimes all it takes is a gentile reminder to be put back on the right path. We are a team and we must respect one another as teammates. Teammates don’t let other teammates break the rules. Always remember that you can come talk to me directly in HR or any of your supervisors when you have situations like this in the future. Changing the culture of a company is not something we can do overnight, but with dedication and attention; it is something we can certainly do. Thank you again for your honest feedback with the opportunities we have in front of us as a company and please rest assured we are addressing everything as promptly as possible. Thank you kindly, Josh Czarnik Director of Human Resources SPM
