Not a lot of structure, not a lot of supervision

I have been working at PolyScience

ProsI have never had such freedom to do my job the way I think it should be done. Management of salaried employees is great for those of us who know what we're doing and can act like grown ups in the workplace.

ConsIf they paid me any less, I'd have to go on food stamps. I won't be there for long.

Advice to Senior ManagementTry paying people what their worth. Try paying people the local average, at least.

Never boring.

I have been working at PolyScience

ProsGreat people, knowledgeable, a community. World Class - Lean Manufacturing. Innovative and interesting product development. Has a good history in the market place.

ConsNever ending work load, although it is better to be busy than slow. A larger facility is needed. Could offer more basic training on product operation - would improve manufacturing ability - quality.

Advice to Senior ManagementMore emphasis on training employees and involvement with development of product (team) - why and how product works - assembly practices, you may be pleasantly surprised at the knowledge of and ideas from all employees. Solicit feedback and listen.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Lacking...

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at PolyScience

ProsMost of the employees here are wonderfully skilled people that know how to do their jobs

ConsManagement often has little idea on how to handle issues, mainly thanks to the president of the company wanting everyone to perform too many different projects at one time. Unfortunately this is an 'everything has to be done yesterday' environment, and a lot of the times what needs to be done hasn't even been properly laid out or specified. I personally do not feel I was properly trained at all. I feel that a lot of good talent there is being wasted on management that doesn't quite know what to do, based on the president wanting way too much.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
