Limited leadership awareness undermines good employee culture

Pros

Unlimited pto for now. Some Good people

Cons

Where to begin. CEO is very out of touch. Since he started the benefits that made the uncompetive market salaries worth it disappeared. The president (THL plant) is worst and belittles anyone he speaks too even the interns. I’ve seen people cause issues/outages and get promoted the next month while hard workers are pidgin hold.

Pros

Good team players within the company who want to work together.

Cons

Absolute disconnect amongst the management team that is clearly obvious to everyone below. Management says one thing and acts another way. It’s clear that it’s “do what we say not what we do”. Very demoralizing. No advancement. Clear favoritism to certain teams. Focus on culture but it’s just talk because upper managers don’t believe it (and make fun of it)
