Growing company - Product Engineer Continental Structural Plastics Employee Review

Company is always striving to take on more business and stay ahead of the innovation curve. Strong R&D team developing new materials constantly, and supporting plants as needed. Salary is fair.

Lack of diversity present in upper management/executive teams of the corporate team and plants. Some plants have a "good ole boy" feel with the management teams that are hiring from within. Bonuses would be nice, and/or an improved raise system. Some plants need drastic upgrades to tools/presses/machinery/systems that are being ignored.

Safety training and enforcement of PPE, providing cold bottled water in coolers during hot months as press side is over 110-113 degrees if it's above 90 outside. Posting ample bid opportunities and allowing even probationary employees to sign bids to move job classifications.

While I was there having consistent management that communicates across areas or even shifts did not exist. Allowing bosses male and female to flirt, harass, or just sleep with floor employees on multiple occasions be it supervisors or coordinators. Having adequate time to use the restroom refill water and eat on breaks is often difficult, not impossible if you walk fast but difficult especially for smokers. As a former smoker and then who quit I had absolutely no time to sit still on my breaks unless I cut out some of my routine. Women's bathrooms were always flooded with toilet water from employees flushing things they shouldn't. Definite drug activity on property.
