Awful Company to work for! Lack of training, Management looks down on workforce with no respect

Mobile heavy plant operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Paid My Bills & Stop Gap.

Cons

Lack of training, ask for help from management, that falls on deaf ears, Poor Condition of the Heavy Plant machinery, take’s weeks to repair. (That’s if it does get repaired) Poor working conditions, sometimes there’s been no hot water for the showers & lack of toilet paper. Health & Safety when it suits Management in their ivory tower, looks down on us, never praise, but if something happens, they are quick enough to punish & give very negative Criticism. Even if all the management came from very different industries, much more different than the steel industry.

WORSE COMPANY I HAVE EVER WORKED FOR!!

Plant operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

There are no pro's you got people in charge who have never worked with mobile plant & the steel ind. (E.g Carpet salesmen, Prison worker,accountant & plastic factory ) I

Cons

Well if mangement has an accident they dont go down for a drug & alcohol test, things get swept under the carpet! If The guys on the shop floor do the same, drug & alcohol test, statment, bonus cut & so on. Theres no leadership as they havent got a clue! They look after they own!
