Unhealthy culture - Director of Human Resources Lake Shore Systems Employee Review

Long standing operations with opportunities for growth. Amazing bennys! They foster culture, trust, growth and empowerment. People don't get fired, people fire themselves. Recommend applying for a position here if you want a full package.

located in small towns across UP and North WI

The employees on the floor are great people to work with. Good compensation and benefits for the area if you're willing to deal with all the cons.

Don't expect to be working the job you were hired for. As soon as the area you were hired for runs out of work, you will be stuck doing a degrading task until production ramps back up. Management is also very tone-deaf and only hears what they want. The CEO is a real "tough-case" and needs to learn to lighten up a little bit. This isn't the military and your employees aren't your soldiers. Stop being so hard on your employees. Working in the plants is a rough experience. Upper management thinks they are better than everyone and refuses to make changes that benefit plant workers. Management doesn't trust its own employees despite putting them in charge of expensive equipment and making them do dangerous jobs. Pretty bad working hours with few breaks or really any schedule flexibility at all. Overtime isn't mandated, but if you say no prepare to be treated differently. Outdated manufacturing processes pushes grueling and repetitive tasks onto employees. I had high expectations for this company, but they really let me down and I am very disappointed.
