Pros

All the engineers and general employees are great to work with, supportive, and friendly

Cons

HR department has too much responsibility within the company and stifle promotions. The only way to move up is to have tenure, with no emphasis put on performance. Their system rewards everyone for doing nothing and does not inspire anyone to perform well. They underpay the employees and play favorites with their own. Company is also in a bad financial situation that has spurred mass layoffs.

Weber Metals Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate and value your input and are glad to hear you enjoyed working with your teammates. The goal of Weber’s HR team is to support employees, and we are sorry to hear you felt differently. This includes providing career development paths, offering full tuition reimbursement, training employees, and supporting health and wellness programs to name a few. Our compensation and promotion processes recognize employees for their contributions. To ensure a fair review of all employees, we base promotions on the position’s required qualifications, including the employees’ development of necessary job-specific skills and organizational competencies. Promotional recommendations are submitted by the management team and reviewed by HR to ensure the above criteria have been met. We have begun to review the current incentive program to be more in alignment with the objectives of the company. The layoff you’re referring to was necessitated by the uncertainty/delay of the Boeing 737 MAX program and its immediate impact on the business. Throughout the decision process we were committed to our values of treating employees with fairness and respect, values which shape our past, present, and future.
