Pros

Free monthly lunches and another skill to add to your resume.

Cons

As always, drama is the top issue when it comes to workplace problems. Management does not take care of any problems professionally and will discuss confidential employee topics with other non-management employees. Favoritism reeks throughout the plant and seniority overrules even if the person is breaking the rules. Too many people (including management) get away with not wearing required safety glasses and steel toe boots while they are on the shop floor. Unfortunately, rule breaking is an ongoing problem and is ALWAYS mentioned at monthly lunches but nothing is done about it. Another issue is the lack of training and lack of patience some management has while training someone new. My advice to anyone looking to get a job at Scherdel is watch your back (since some employees think they are being 'helpful' by tattling to HR), keep to yourself and make NO mistakes.

Pros

Some members of the HR team are responsive and make genuine efforts to support employees. There is still an opportunity for leadership to strengthen trust and reset expectations around communication and transparency. The increased focus on process and structure could be positive if paired with clearer communication and consistent follow-through.

Cons

Since the recent leadership change within HR, the workplace culture feels less collaborative and more cautious. In my experience, conversations that once felt open now feel more guarded. The shift in tone has increased day-to-day stress and reduced candid dialogue. Position eliminations followed by postings that appear similar have created confusion and weakened trust. Clearer explanations of role differences would help. Morale appears to have declined, and more employees seem to be exploring other opportunities. Retention risk may be increasing in specialized roles that are difficult to replace. There is a growing perception that raising concerns may carry negative consequences, which can limit honest feedback and slow improvement.
