Great team but poor leadership and no growth opportunities
Pros
Love the guys I work with on 2nd shift, Inlay Department. We always help each other no matter what, and generally have a good time. Benefits are also very good with three weeks vacation after 5 years, at least 7 company holidays, and 7-10 pto days. Health insurance very affordable, and while the employer 401k match is only up to $500, the annual employee stock awards are supposed to make up the difference.
Cons
Once you display competence and reliability, you are locked into that role forever. No chances to advance my skills or contribute my maximum potential to the company. My direct manager got the job in 2024 not because he has any management ability, but because he's been there "long enough." Morale is in the toilet, and senior management seems oblivious to how bad this is. Worst of all: there's no change in sight. My boss is only a few years older than me, he doesn't realize this isn't the best role for him, and Lisk will never admit they made a mistake in promoting it's managers. Lastly, pay is not competitive: $25 per hour (9 years experience) to run 3 machines, a welder, and all the automation that goes with it...with tolerances of +/-.0003. Enough said.
