Great Company, Exciting Projects

Pros

Friendly atmosphere with lots of camaraderie between the employees in general. Most people there are looking to continue building and growing their skills, which is refreshing. Maker culture where personal projects are heartily encouraged. The overall vision has high aspirations which makes it an exciting place to work.

Cons

Communication and workflow coordination between the teams needs improving. Though I would suspect this is typical since the sets of teams have only recently spun up.

Pros

An opportunity for career advancement.

Cons

Here is my dilema, I really love so much about Plethora. But the things that made it great are completely gone now. Everyone used to show up excited everyday. People really cared about what they did. There were always problems with upper management not communicating with the teams. Things got really bad when they hired the new CEO. He stood in front of the entire company and told us all that everyone of us were the biggest dissapointments that he had ever worked with. Then he continued to degrade for so long that I just tuned him out. He wanders the shop and rage yells at people. The most unprofessional person I have ever work with. He gets in fights with everyone, not just people inside our company.

Thank you for providing this feedback. We are constantly trying to get better, and we’re working on setting clear expectations that are aligned with our company values at every level, from the c-suite to each individual contributor. On expectations, every employee has been given clear goals for 2019 that are aligned with their department and company goals. Those are tough but achievable with teamwork and consistent performance. A problem that a lot of companies face in the transition from the Startup to the Growth phase is a change in expectations, and how it is communicated is essential for success. We’ll take this constructive criticism to heart and develop some better tools and guidance as a company to ensure situations like what you describe don’t reoccur. It’s only through constant clear consistent communication that we can succeed, and our operational and technological performance over the last year is a testament that things are continually improving at every level.

Disgrace to the industry.

Pros

Not a single positive thing! All is crap!

Cons

Everything. Management is an absolute joke. Sales team is responsible for how parts should be manufactured when they have zero knowledge of how a part should be manufactured. CEO is a scumbag, egotistical, power hungry, only cares about himself. Complete disregard for the men and wemon that make the company. The machinists are by far treated the worst. They are treated like they are less than human. Horrible communication between all departments. Sales lies to customers, telling them parts are made in house when they are outsourcing 80% of all jobs. The overhead is enourmous, scrap rate is higher then parts sold. THIS COMPANY IS A JOKE! INVESTORS BEWARE! YOUR MONEY IS BEING DIVERTED TO JIMS POCKET! LAWSUITS INCOMING!
