Pros

This company puts a great effort into safety. The pay allows a good living. The employees of 15 years or so have very good retirement benefits.

Cons

SCJ manufacturing areas have become unpleasant due to very poor management from the top on down. Operators are not given any respect, they are given goals that are not attainable, goals are set by managers that are only out to fill their own goals. There is no consistency between managers, and there is a different manager for almost every production line. HR department is so very disconnected from policies, people have now disregarded policy as it will vary day to day. The company is loosing knowledge at a rapid rate as the good employees don't care to watch it fail any longer.

Everyone and Everything is Tired

Pros

Good people who try. Some become numb and tired, other get frustrated and leave. Amazing levels of turnover are a sign that fundamentals are broken.

Cons

People come in, expecting to make a difference, then tire quickly. Work-life balance is laughable. Systems are either outdated or nonexistent. Senior leader courage is in short supply and, interestingly, grow tired trying to anticipate what Fisk wants.

Pros

The money is good, benefits are ok, it's a job.

Cons

Current employee/production technician with a lot of years at Bay City Site. This used to be a great place to work but not anymore. Used to be you had to practically kill somebody to get in trouble around here, let alone fired but now we've let more good people go than I can count in just the last year. There are no warnings or coachings anymore. There is a revolving door with an increasing turn over rate. The morale and culture are nothing to write home about. Work with same people for long hours and never speak a word to each other because we're all afraid of getting in trouble or offending someone and being shown the door. Its sad. The workforce is a nervous wreck. People and management seem out to catch you making a mistake. There are perks, mostly the pay, but that's just a trap to stay in a soul sucking place.The new human resources regime rules the site with an iron fist so if you think they care about you, you'll be dissappointed. The swing shift is harder than you think and takes a lot outta you. Times have really changed in Bay City in the last few years and I'm just happy to be retiring soon. I wouldn't recommend friends or family to work here.
