Executive Administrative Assistant - Administrative Assistant John W. Danforth Co. Employee Review

Pros

A competitive salary was offered initially

Cons

Salaried employees work well over 50+ hours per week and there are definitely not enough employees for the work that is expected to be completed. There is no growth opportunities for women. There are no women VPs and very few middle management positions filled by women with the exception of AP. The gossip situation is horrible. Sexism, misogyny and overt discrimination against LGBTQ is rampant. Actually, if you are a gay woman you are tolerated but if you are a gay man don't even consider applying. The current president could not be considered a motivating factor in any way. Since the death of the former president, he has spear-headed the changes made to upper echelon personnel and there is much unhappiness with the current situation.

Pros

Caring bosses and supervisors. Opportunities for overtime, that aren't "mandatory" Accomadating to workers needs.

Cons

Old equiptment, for a place that makes an incredible amount of money some of our equipment makes our jobs take double the amount of time. Instead of replacement they "attempt" to fix the same piece of equiptment, 50 times, to the point where it can't be fixed. Focus on safety is a little out of hand. Limited advancement opportunities. Lack of perks most Sheet Metal Shops have, i.e. being given shirts for work, holiday bonuses etc.
