Bad management and governed by fear - Anonymous Arrow Gear Employee Review

Doesn't Recommend Negative Outlook Disapproves of CEO Pros Good benefits, low insurance cost,401k, disability insurance. Pay is ok. Cons Going thru a transition period with new upper management, who are really driving morale down.Expect people not to have a life basically.Limit vacation to only two weeks, not a day more, even if you have five weeks vacation after working 25 years. Second shift hours are the worst since the times can change. Mandatory overtime, which might not sound bad but after a while it drains you out. Advice to Management Give employees more initiative to do well.Taking away many things is not the best way to do so. You get more with honey than with vinegar.

Promotions on the floor are handled strictly according to the Union contract (seniority). Promotion in the office is based on performance. Termination is also handled strictly according to the Union contract. Our goal together with the Union is to not get to the point where we have to terminate an employee. Our business is too complicated and is in need of skilled, experienced employees as we can afford to run a hire and fire company. 30% of our employees have 20+ years experience. Many have 40+ years experience. We are proud of them.
