Micromanagement - Accountant Intertape Polymer Employee Review

Pros

Salary is decent and there is a bonus if you last a full year. Benefits are good but be aware of the vacation policy, 3 wks of vacation sounds great but that's only if you're given the opportunity to use it and if you can really disconnect for the time off.

Cons

Micro-manage is taken to a whole new level here, you can not even change a color in a spreadsheet because the reviewer just doesn't like change. Your work is reviewed by 2-3 people who nitpick on things that don't even add any value to the content. Training is minimal and if you ask questions it's a sign of weakness. People in "managerial" roles (not upper management) are on some kind of power trip, they like to abuse their title and position to put the fear in you. People are nice to your face but talk behind your back; phony smiles. The interview process is brutal, it could take up to 4-5 weeks plus a personality test and assessment. If you do get called for an interview, be sure to ask how many times the role has had turnover in the past 2 years. No one has lasted in my role for more than 6 months.

Pros

Good hourly people, knowledge on the floor

Cons

Management is flailing, no training program, new hires slip through probation despite concerns from the floor, machines falling apart with no maintenance - now company wants to cut wages for maintenance employees, constant battle for retirement benefits, avoidable injuries on the floor due to hazards that have been repeatedly complained about, can't even keep people in the office or dept heads or sift supervisors, always running out of inks, paper, boxes - company spends hundreds of thousands on meaningless improvements while nothing to help workers is addressed, company loves to buy new machines that dont work rather than fixing old machines that do, engineers dont talk to employees before destroying processes, no appreciation for hitting goals or consistently meeting production, as long as M2 goes up - quality and efficiency don't matter, people limping along on busted machines are forced to up the speed so the mach full on breaks causing more downtime, people are allowed to retire without training replacements, don't even get holiday parties anymore - not without the threat of losing holiday bonuses, management has no interest in listening to the floor, the few good people in the office get no support from higher up, we struggle more than ever to maintain numbers, but as long as we keep the machines running with duct tape and zip ties, the feeling is nothing will ever get better, company treats everyone like crap then wonders why people work just hard enough to not get fired, barely
