Pros
Some genuinely kind and hardworking team members. A few supervisors, like Lorie and Joe, treat employees with respect and care. The nature of the work itself can be interesting and rewarding when allowed to flourish
Cons
Senior management suffers from poor leadership, lack of communication, and inconsistent follow-through. Promises of change or improvements often go unfulfilled for weeks or even months. A culture of micromanagement, intimidation, and gossip is fostered at the upper levels. Certain managers create a hostile work environment by undermining their own team members and prioritizing image over genuine problem-solving. Employee morale is low due to persistent dysfunction and stress caused by toxic leadership behavior. Some departments are managed in ways that prioritize control and drama over productivity and well-being. This results in high stress and unnecessary workplace conflict. Vendor and supplier quality is subpar, and there's a lack of accountability in maintaining standards. The craftsmanship of the final products often does not reflect the care or attention to detail that should be present in a company producing high-precision tools.
