What don't you like about working at ABB Construction?

"The culture is killing the division. Old timers dictate the rules and change. The company is going nowhere with their products. The division needs new blood with experience to fix the products (hardware and software). The cost of living in Bartlesville was higher than big cities in Texas so the enticement to move there is not good. The other companies in Bartlesville gave higher pay raises and bonuses than ABB Totalflow."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Replace all of them. They have been there for over 30 years and are stagnating the company. The competitors have products that work and show professionalism in the manufacturing of the products. The customers are agreeing by switching to the Fisher Rock devices. ABB Totalflow did not believe in compensation for overtime invested in projects. Management had a bad practice of stringing contractors along with the promise of converting them to permanent employee status. One employee was held in the contractor status for ove 4 years before converting that person to permanent."
