Pros

Good health insurance plans offered.

Cons

ZERO training or employee development. Last raise was 1% across the board. Frequently will hire new people at higher rate then long time employees. Very quick to hire outsiders for positions rather than promote from within. Entire shifts will operate with no supervision. Company policy is to try to get supervisor positions filled with non-supervisor personnel who will take the spot for no pay raise. The company was under good management for so long, but they brought in a dude with only generic corporate experience, figuring that was enough. When it comes to employee training, compensation and experience, Lisk has forgotten or ignored the truth-you get what you pay for.

Pros

Production People are great to work with. Thanks facility is climate controlled, clean and well kept up. But not much else

Cons

Management is trying to make the company corporate. It has lost the family feel. Everything is done from management 101 course

Pros

I have been with this company many years. Amazing benefits...esop, 401k, many paid holidays, working parents are not penalized for missing work for their kids. I Love what I do for this company and will retire from here if allowed to do so.

Cons

The pay is extremely low for the type of precision work and dedication they require of employees. Overtime is required, mandatory and expected every single week (going on for many many years now) with zero mind to staff exhaustion. Promises are made by new management and not kept. Experienced employees with seniority are no longer heard and seen as obstacles, we are labeled negative if we don’t love the new lean 6 sigma agenda being forced down every throat even if it’s been proven some of these ideas do not work. New management has employees doing their own reviews which makes absolutely NO sense and the review questions have little to nothing to do with your actual performance. Advancements are posted but saved for supervisor and management favorites leaving superior workers overlooked and bitter. The strong employees have to carry the weak employees on their backs, instead of ridding the company of weak team members we just keep them around to fill positions causing our stronger employees to quit from the burden of carrying the worthless.
