US Tool Group Reviews

Deception of employees by management. Tobacco Surcharge for hourly employees unless they provide a blood test to prove no nicotine use. Blamed on higher healthcare costs of tobacco users, meanwhile employees with obesity and other health related issues are not charged extra. Expensive healthcare with an intrusive "discount" program. Hard working employees are taken advantage of by supervisors while friends and family are allowed to be lazy and take credit for other's work. Lack of compensation for skills learned and extra jobs performed. Advancement opportunities never materialize until it is to the advantage of one supervisor or another, and then it is only so far as they need you to go. Excuses are made to deny raises for some employees while others are advanced based on the favor of their several immediate leads and supervisors. Too many supervisors. In some cases, a single employee may have 7 or more direct superiors to answer to for work flow and production. Poor communication from management to middle management and from middle management to hourly staff. Conflicting orders are common as are miscommunications leading to delays. Arbitrary decision making causes many problems with work flow and staffing. Lack of honest structure and organization. Lack of upward mobility. Many more issues. You don't really want to work here unless you can put up with being used and lied to.

The beginning pay levels are below average. Take a closer look at the employees who are more capable than their current position and who are looking for more opportunity within the organization.
