Reviews about "salary"
Return to all Reviews- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good Salary and great benefits
Cons
too much free time not enough work
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
They have a product I had/have a lot of faith in. Their core products you can say you are proud to have been a part of putting out there into the workforce. The corporate office truly has good people who believe in their products, and in their minds, they believe they are doing what is best for the folks out across their different divisions.
Cons
At the division level things are a joke. The good old boy system is in place--not just where I worked, but over the years the contacts I had across the company told me it was the same where they were. I personally heard one HR manager tell our entire office that we should just be glad they allow us to work for them and that they gave us a job. If you are one of the Southern facilities, women are paid about half what men are in salaried positions. No room for advancement...none whatsoever...unless you are willing to kiss some major behind and be a yes man. Before I quit I saw an email that was the tipping point for me, it came from one HR manager to my supervisor. I had asked for a significant raise because I was grossly underpaid (clerk salary for professional work). The HR manager actually said I was paid too little compared to the same position across the corporation. Do you think they upped my salary to within range across the corporation? NO. One excuse after another. I left after nearly 20 years of empty promises and excuses as to why I wasn't good enough to advance. Walked into a new position doing much less work, no weekends, no nights, for over $10k more annually. CM pays some people well--if you are the teacher's pet.

Pros
Decent salary, most people are nice.
Cons
CEO continues to focus on headcount, resulting in remaining employees having unmanageable workloads. Currently in a hiring freeze, although they won't admit it or call it that.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Reasonable salary. Job security.Cannot be fired without serious cause.
Cons
Management cannot plan, understand product development, or understand the value of proper engineering.

Pros
Good salary- entry level pay is high
Cons
Extremely long hours, lack of growth opportunities
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Colleagues were always nice we had a our own office parties
Cons
it's not competitive salary you're always working non-stop and it gets hard to catch your breathe at times
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We're sorry you had this experience. HR has elevated your concerns to the Customer Service leadership team to look for opportunities of improvement.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Decent salary. Local leadership is steering the company in the right direction. Many improvements and machinery upgrades are being put in place and should make the company better in the long run.
Cons
Director level manager is bent on imposing his vision on the company. The problem is he doesn't understand the unique challenges of our facility and is pushing textbook solutions which don't work.

Terrible leadership and morale with no desire to improve. Getting out as soon as I can!!
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Decent pay for easy work. Feeling that I can count on the other guys on the floor. Semi-stable employment
Cons
Union contract means nothing when management doesn't follow it anyways. Instead of doing what it says in the book, they will go by 'past practice' - aka what makes them look best to corporate. Mindset is not about the employees at all, only what will make management look best!! I would even call the treatment towards employees abusive. I know some of the past practices violate federal laws. And they wonder why employees are confrontational! Management doesnt have a clue what is going on. This goes from Engineering to Human Resources to Operations. Wrong information is given if and when you get any information at all. No praise or incentives for doing good work or more work than required. No reason to try to do well at all. I truly think both salary and hourly employees would flock out the door if given the chance to. The list of bad things about working here is never ending.
