Unbelievably negative atmosphere.

Assembly line

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people I work with at the York plant in Norman Okla. are very good team members. They will help someone, even if that person doesn't work in their dept.

Cons

The leadership team is the worst. They are very unorganized and try to pass the blame on the people on the floor. The buddy system is destroying us. They have created two separate levels of accountability. There is no team work. A horribly negative atmosphere.

Was not good for me - battery division

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, large company, pay was good.

Cons

Environment is toxic, with a lot of finger pointing. Lots of engineering types and processes. Absolutely no marketing, all marketing is expected to be done by the retailers. Its an engineering company so there are TONS of processes, but surprisingly its incredibly inefficient. Battery labels are still applied by hand , etc. The Milwaukee office seems extremely unhappy. The cubicles don't even have walls, so you are staring at someone while you do your work. You have to have allies in this company or they will turn on you in a heartbeat.
