Pros

The people were nice, but this is a terrible place to work due to money problem and the management is disfunctional.

Cons

Disfunctional management. Revolving door of employees. People are fired for insignificant reasons. Hostile work environment due to owner. Verbally abuse from owner and CEO. No regular reviews. Pay cuts every year. Facility is bad shape. Owner expect you to do 2 or 3 jobs, some of which you are not even trained to do, then when the outcome is not positive you get all the blame. No director of operation (plant manager) for two years.

MEECO Response

As I am close to a decade behind on a response to this review, I have to say that it is quite painful to see how unhappy the reviewer was at our business. Coming out of the Great Recession was a challenging time for us, and we sacrificed together to keep our company alive. Today, MEECO is a vibrant, stable business, with a much-improved physical plant, a capable production manager, investment in cross-training and advanced training in tools, like Salesforce; and very little turnover. To the extent that I, as CEO, in any way did or said anything that was hurtful or abusive, I wish to humbly apologize to this reviewer and make amends in every way possible. Having worked for some "crazy" bosses myself when I was young, I know how awful and demoralizing that can be. Please know that I focus every day and in all that I do to be respectful and a good role model. With sincere apologies, Lisa PS: I only just got on GD two weeks ago, which is why I did not respond sooner!

Pros

The co-workers are the best. I wish upper management would see this in their employees. Instead, employees are laid off or fired. Employees walk on egg shells.

Cons

The owners micro manage everything. We have meetings for the meetings. They don't give raises or reviews often but give pay cuts. Company is run on emotional feelings and nothing is rational. We have parties when we are on pay cuts.

Pros

The people are great. Probably due to the fact we have a common enemy -- the CEO.

Cons

CEO, despite decades in the business, knows little of the technology, common sense business practices and has no skill in dealing with employees. Here are some key examples: * Tons of useless meetings sometimes called in absentia by CEO (meeting chair told to have meeting) * Employees on reduced salary (up to 50%) while new employees are hired at full salary * Absolutely no business strategy, priorities constantly change * Too many projects, squandered resources * Bad relations with suppliers -- drops them at the first sign of problems, so no team work * Ignorant and arrogant does not listen to subject matter experts * Verbally abusive -- will attack your competence without seeming to have any at all * Emotional (knee jerk decisions) -- has gone ballistic at meetings * Employees hired and fired on a whim, a constant revolving door of people, most very competent * No employee reviews -- your guess why you got fired or laid off * No promotions -- guess no one stays on the good side long enough to get a promotion * No raises -- plenty of pay reductions though * No bonuses -- instead money is squandered on food and parties * Seems unable to process information and make rational decisions * Invests in a client projects without any written commitment from client, client often reneges How this place has survived so far is a mystery. It is also a mystery why someone would invest in this company.
