JR Automation Technologies reviews about "manager"

Companies needing custom automation is not always a steady flow.

Promotions only go to those who suck up or 'know the right people' If you're the type of person to voice your opinion to the opposition, be prepared for the target on your back. The majority, if not all, managers, including functional managers/directors or whatever they want to call them now, will not acknowledge your successes but will primarily focus on every little thing you did wrong or not to their personal satisfaction. They'll say employees work/life balance and happiness is a core value of the company (coming from Hitachi) but its never been shown that this an accurate and sincere statement. Bottom line, is money. YOU are replaceable. YOU are a number. Crestview, an INVESTMENT company, showed they cared and appreciated employees more than the new parent company ever has.

A lot of changes have left managers and leaders in tough spots in regard to limitations on what people can do with each other.

Lack of proper leadership. Good managers but not many good leaders. Being part of a bigger conglomerate, JR leaders seem to just follow orders from parent org. Too much politics, if you speak boldly to leaders you are shown your way out. Sneaky leaders who will share a laugh but stab you in the back and surprise you.

Going through transition to Hitachi, difficult to communicate with other business units sometimes

Under recent management changes, the struggle has been real. New manager is incredibly detached from my work.

Long work weeks and high stress

The culture is just hire as many people as possible and you either sink or swim. I worked in the service department so we would go out and do service calls. The manager would meet with us in the morning and tell us where we’re going. We would never have all of the information we needed.
