It was a great place to work with a lot of harmony between the employees

The pandemic caused massive cuts

Outstanding people work in this company manufacturing, specialized inspections and, extremely detailed professionals ensuring customers are satisfied through the detailed compliance and transparency of what occurs to airplane products. Engineering, production, specialized processing, and purchasing teams all have long time employees working for their departments. Quality struggles to maintain and keep the employees for obvious reasons from leadership not valuing what needs to occur to ensure compliance with customer data sets. This place has a lot of 20+ year employees with exception to the quality department which averages 2 years of employment. Yet nobody has asked why the constant turn over in that department.

Top management tends to hold grudges and becomes easily angered when challenged, Biased with department expectations based on who is supporting production goals. Goals seem to conflict with customer requirements often and the shipment of casting take precedent over meeting drawing and specification requirements. This creates high turn over in the quality departments as ethical standards are challenged when the requirements are stated and repeatedly not followed in order to support monthly production and shipment numbers. Limited training and knowledge of basic aerospace and quality standards at all levels of leadership. Management must know these basic requirements to ensure compliant business practices which ensure safety and technical requirements mandated by their customers are met. The Human Resources department actively supports and allows nepotism practices which devalues equal and fair hiring practices expected by employees seeking advancement opportunities. The top level management was placed from prior relationships developed at a competitor company and seems to be the new culture taking over at PCT currently. Out with any employee who pushes back on this new directive from top management which is understood and flowed down through all middle layers of management. This tactic leaves middle management powerless to drive their employees to succeed and cripples a persons desire to be engaged in the unique job roles this place has to offer. Normally PCT is a thriving place to work when leadership and human resources remove their personal needs and are willing to follow the very policy they demand from employees. As they say in any company to lead by example is the best approach for creating a thriving workplace. If 3 key leadership roles were replaced tomorrow this company would thrive again. If nepotism and fair hiring practices were put back into place this place would thrive again. Last, If this place would look at its leadership a year ago and target that path, this place would thrive again.
