Techs are required to cover holidays, even if the plant is closed.
HR has a bad habit of forgetting the labs for any celebrations, rewards, etc. Recently it was the taco trucks, but this has been an ongoing problem since before I was hired.
Equipment is very old, making working nearly impossible.
Large purchases for the lab are scrutinized and sometimes not approved even when much needed.
The labs have not had a Quality Manager for three years and a Lab Lead for over a year. Leadership is cobbled together and not adequately compensated. I have not seen anyone receive a promotion in role in three years.
