OC Shift Operations Leader in Liversedge, England (United Kingdom):   (Past Employee - 2007)

Pros

Compensation pakage, the glass veil composites industry pays very well throughout the industry. OC is no different.

Cons

Most efforts are put into reducing costs & not making headway into new markets or products. "wringing it dry". The management is very clicky, "if your face fits". Lack of local leadership, direction or vision, even though the corporate goals are communicated regularly. The local agreements with employee organisations are often disregarded or neglected. Annual personal developement reveiws are used as a corporate tool to ram home corporate ideals & built into the compensation package. Your individual developement is supported as long as it falls into line with the corporate. Your employment rights & contract will not be top priority.

Advice to Senior Management

Take advice & note of the knowledge & experience of front line members of staff when considerring effeciency drives or projects.

Hit the nail right on the head, poor leadership with good perks & privllages leading to bad relations between main workforce & management tiers.

If the Liversedge site has to completely renew it's entire workforce it will do so to rid itself of the poor performance culture that prevails today.

What really matters is profit. The reveiwer above is correct in stating that all else is secondary.
