Administrative Assistant at McQuay International
in Phoenix, AZ

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Upper mgmt is out of touch with the reality of what really goes on locally."

What do you like about working at McQuay International?

"We are paid fairly. It is a large company but we have a small crew at this location."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"This would be a great company if the processes were more defined and streamlined. I feel like we're all a bunch of chickens with our heads cut off. And we've got someone with an ego as our local manager who wants to run things his way, no matter whether they coincide with how corporate wants things done."

What don't you like about working at McQuay International?

"Upper mgmt has no clue as to how local mgmt runs things behind the scenes. Local mgmt believes in keeping issues internal (in other words, secret) and not disclosing all the facts about re-work and engineering errors."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Upper management needs to get serious about our facility and become more in depth in our processes. There need to be more checks and balances. No more, I'm the king, do as I say from local managment."

Administrative Assistant at Multi-Wall Packaging
in Gary, IN

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Cheap and dirty"

What do you like about working at Multi-Wall Packaging?

"It was not boring. There were new challenges every day."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"You will be expected to work overtime. Count on it. No matter what they tell you when you are first hired. Don't ever count on getting out of work at a certain time. You will have to punch a time card, regardless of position, unless you are upper management."

What don't you like about working at Multi-Wall Packaging?

"Un-professionalism of supervisors. The way managers speak to staff is completely inappropriate for the workplace. Yelling is common, sarcastic remarks, and persistent threats to job security are daily occurrences. The pay was also very low. There actually wasn't a choice on here for the amount of pay I received, so I just chose the lowest one (which is more than I made)."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"More staff and more trust in the staff. Most of the folks there do their job well and would happily do even more if they were allowed a bit of trust. The staff is stretched very thin and that leaves little to no room for error, which is more likely to happen when the staff is stretched thin to begin with. Don't be 'pound foolish'."

Administrative Assistant at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius
in San Francisco, CA

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Spent most of my time dealing with behavioural problems of coworkers/boss."

What do you like about working at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius?

"Before the recession, I liked the company because it provided the security and stability that I needed."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"The most important thing is to be honest. Be prepared and don't waste their time. It doesn't necessarily help to know someone who works for the company, either. I've seen people try to get their old coworkers/friends into ML--but it never seems to work."

What don't you like about working at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius?

"Bullying is a problem that people are scared to talk about or confront. The bonuses are too small. The frugality of Morgan Lewis gets boring and your expectations of the company become very low."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Get rid of the old Brobeck employees who bore everyone with their mind-numbing stories."

"I am no longer working here. When we had nice staff it was great. Two very unhappy people make for unhappy work environment."
