Pros
Decent wage, nice Christmas party
Cons
If there's a way to be successful, I'm all in. However, at the 30 day mark I started another job search. This business is a best example of a 3rd generation family member ruining the business because he doesn't want to stop, listen, and fix the problems. "Thats the way we do things here" is the battle cry. Turnover in the office areas is ungodly high for good reasons. The MRP system hasn't been updated for 15 years so demand comes out of nowhere and unprompted glitches are the norm. Planning group puts past due demand on the system on Saturday and you'll get raked over the coals on Monday for late orders. Purchasing is the red headed step child of the organization, but yet the owner won't acknowledge or accept accountability for the neglect of purchasing systems or people over the years. Senior employees are promoted even though they are devoid the skillsets needed to be a manager. Balancing the workload is a foreign word and when another person quits, they simply double the workload on another person. Suppliers are firing Twin Disc at a rapid pace. There is no S&OP process so you are ordered to stock up for a year and then 3 months later told to cancel orders. Although tooling at suppliers is worn out, management blames the supplier or Purchasing. The office area is dirty, dated, and depressing. Quality leadership is severely lacking. The older employees near retirement are doing nothing but hiding until retirement. Terrible blame game throw it over the wall culture. HR is simply supplying the revolving door and will not be taking any meaningful action to help you when you have a legitimate concern. If you have a family, don't consider a job here.
