LH Battery Reviews

- Poor communication and mismanagement cause repeated project failures and delays, uncertainty. - Lack of honesty/transparency create a culture of confusion, mistakes, frustration - Unfair expectations for exempt employees regarding overtime, ability to take PTO, working conditions - Lack of advancement or appreciation for experienced employees

-Much of the spoken and written language here is Korean. It is an extremely far stretch to call this an American company. It is very difficult to do your job or learn from your work if you can't even understand what is being communicated... -There are limited learning opportunities. This company struggles to break a vicious cycle where language barriers make it difficult to explain the work to English-speakers, so employees are not always given the opportunity to learn, which can result in them appearing less capable than they actually are. Then, it turns into "These Americans don't know how to do the work," so they are given fewer opportunities to do meaningful work. Rinse & repeat... -The strict divide between LG & Honda side of the organization is toxic and divisive. You are discouraged from collaboration because LG wants to keep their technology and workplace practices internal and not widely shared with Honda. -The demands surrounding work hours are outrageous. There is no regard for your personal life, and you are expected to work overtime on a regular and excessive basis, with no heads-up. You show up to work without knowing what time you will be back home that day. There is a comp time structure that lets you earn that time back in vacation time, but you have limited freedom over when you can use your vacation time because they are very under-staffed. -Most engineers at the plant are expected to regularly work 2nd and/or 3rd shift (engineers were hired with the expectation of working 1st shift), and there has been almost no attempt to negotiate or consider employee feedback before implementing drastic work hour changes. -You can explain all of this to your manager, and they do not appear to address these concerns, often referencing worse experiences in Korea ("In Korea, it is so much worse"). This culture is widespread enough that it feels like HR is not effectively addressing these issues.
