Toxic workplace culture

Previous management team was good. Current one favours people of their own color and very unfair practices in place as we speak. Old machines and management blame people below for breakdowns

Competitive Pay and Great Training Ground

Highly Productive and Quality Oriented.

Strick Shift Planning Production according to schedule focusing on Quality and setting up teams to ensure job culture and management is aligned to produce on time and in full. I have learned to manage high output with limited resources. The hardest part was demand versus quality.

Pros

Nothing free except training and empowerment to do great job.

Cons

Overtime management.

Very productive place of work

Good leaders provide all what is necessary for their teams to succeed. They start at the front and point to the vision and provide direction. Then they move to the middle to make sure everyone has the wherewithal they need for the journey and it’s challenges. Then, lastly they move to the back and make sure that no one gets left behind. This is the essence of leadership. #leadership #success #leaders #leadershipdevelopment#teamwork #coaching

Pros

healthy food

Normal hours
