Hope for change, but culture and work issues prevail
Pros
The only pro is that my site of Trillium Flow Technologies was bought by flowserve so I’m hoping there will be significant needed change around culture and process.
Cons
The management doesn’t seem to understand that salary employment is a give /take relationship where sometimes you’re expected to work more than 40hrs a week and not get paid but to make up for it, you should be able to leave early to even out the unpaid time as long as your expectation are met and your work is complete. Instead they expect you to work 10hrs a day and get reprimanded for leaving minutes early even though you’re working 10 unpaid hours a week. Many cases of overtime not being paid out for supervisors and the PTO is horrible and is not separate from your sick time. You get the state minimum for sick time as your “PTO”. This place is riddled with tribal knowledge held by people who don’t want to be bothered and the training is absolutely horrendous. This place needs serious change in culture and to workflow processes but no one wants change even when it’s for the better of the company. Classic case of a huge company held together hack job excel sheets and tribal knowledge from senior leaders that will all be retiring soon and leaving no knowledge to the new employees who are expected to run the show in their wake. To top it off the ERP system is the worst I’ve ever used with a horrible UI and 0 training.
