What don't you like about working at AAR Corporation?
"As one person put it in a previous post , if you're looking for someone to acknowledge your work ethic, especially if you're an hourly employee-forget it. And as far as making the most of employee's potential-well, intelligence and things like individual integrity don't rank too high on their list when it comes to who they give meaningful raises or promotions to."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"First, I would be more involved with what is really going on out on the floor with production staff, instead of relying on what I'm being told by supervisors and their bosses. There are a lot of unethical scenarios going on that a lot of us feel are impeding the work process and Cargo's success as a whole-mainly in terms of employee morale and blatant favoritism toward employees who are not only not deserving of their post, but who spend most of the day either in the smoking area, walking around socializing, or just plain malingering. And that's not even including things that I can't put into print here."

What don't you like about working at Webasto?
"Here is a detailed analysis of some of the ratings I provided. -The Person You Work For: My supervisor did so many things wrong, I could write a book on it. What stood out the most was the fact that he would threaten to fire various employees for either little, piddly things that didn't matter or for things we didn't even do. We would be yelled at on a daily basis as though we were performing poorly. Ironically, the shift I was on was the shift with the highest production, working above and beyond what the production rate required. -The Work You Do: Production itself was not difficult. It's factory work, so it's not fun, but I had seen worse. Working 6-7 days a week 7 1/2 - 12 hours a day is taxing however. -The Rewards You Receive: Webasto does not reward anyone for working hard. In fact, it is quite the opposite. As I said before, my shift was the highest in production; this meant that we were expected to work over the rate of production in order to carry the other shifts that were only producing about 30% of their workload. (my shift produced from 90-120% daily) One day we decided that we were only going to do 100% of our daily production. As a result, we were yelled at, upper management was brought in specifically to intimidate us, we the employees began arguing amongst ourselves what the best course of action really was with some of us wanting to only do 100% production, while others feared being fired and wanted to continue working above rate, and one employee quit out of stress from all the commotion. So our reward for working so hard More yelling and threatening. -The Culture of Your Company: The lifestyle of the company is one of constant threatening to be written up or fired. Using the open door policy to talk to upper management or Human Resources is futile. Out of the three times I talked to upper management, the first manager never responded to my concerns even after a follow up visit. He was very angry about me approaching him a second time. The second manager said something would be done about it, but she quit very soon afterwords. The third listened to my concerns, but did nothing. Representatives in the Human Resources department side with supervisors nearly all the time. Certain Human Resource representatives do not actively investigate issues you present to them.Safety is not a part of the Webasto culture. There was a safety hazard that I brought to the attention of several different people, yet in two years it was never fixed. This could have resulted in injury, but was not severe enough for Osha to have bothered with it according to Osha's own description of issues they deal with. -The People You Work With: Out of all the people I had to work with over my two year span at Webasto, only a few employees were difficult to deal with. We developed a close friendship with each other and my shift was one of the most tightly woven shifts out of all three. This is of course excluding the supervisor. -The Way You Work: We do not have much control over how the job gets done. When a machine would break, either our supervisor would refuse to get an engineer to fix the problem out of fear that the engineer would shut the line down too long or would make the problem worse, or there would not be an engineer available to begin with. In most factories, rotation is mandatory. At Webasto, if you complain about working on the same station all day long, you are written up. This happened to one colleague. After challenging the write up with Human Resources, it was found out that the write up was for insolence and Human Resources supported the write up. This was the best employee on our line that was written up too, keep in mind.We also do not have control over the quality of the parts that come in from other providers. If we reject parts for a quality defect, the quality control department will send them back to us with the defects still existing. These are not defects that quality control passed with the okay for us to us them. These were parts that would make the finished product unusable by the customer. -The Growth Opportunities Available To You: I applied for a job to move up in the company and received the position. No complaints here. -How would you grade the CEO at the company: There is no leadership at the company. Managers do not care. Supervisors do not care. Human Resources does not care. No one cares. In only two years I saw three plant managers come and leave on their own accord, leaving on very short notice. No one wants to lead Webasto because of all the problems Webasto has. I never met the CEO of the company, but whoever he is, he obviously is not doing a good job based on the leadership I received. -The Place You Work: The quality of the building isn't horrible. It's a factory we're talking about here. The worst things without a doubt were the bathrooms. They are filthy and disgusting. -The Support You Get: As I said before, quality control would constantly give us rejected parts back with the defects still present. Instead of pushing the defects back to the supplier, we were expected to fix the defects ourselves with our own bare hands. We should have been provided tools to work with, but when you have a supervisor threatening to fire you for any little thing, you make with what you've got."
