Schulman Associates IRB Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Leadership does a horrible job at recognizing and respecting people in operations. Favoritism runs rampant. Promotions are not equal opportunity. If you are good at kissing up, this place is for you. The CEO is condescending, managers are too disengaged with their teams and employees are not valued. They want to change the culture at Schulman but expect the specialists and coordinators to do that and the leadership doesn't recognize that it starts with them. They assume that by bringing in "sheep", they'll just be able to eventually have 100% complacent workers. So turnover remains higher than average because they lose good people (who are smart and can read between the lines), which in turn causes more resources to be spent training new hires, and the business suffers because fewer people are knowledgeable at their jobs. All leadership cares about is filling their own pockets and making money for the shareholders. Classism exists in the form of salary vs. hourly employees. If you are hourly, you're considered "uneducated" and salary people are "educated". However, they prefer hiring people with minimum bachelor degrees so this just shows the attitude some, albeit bigoted, "educated" people have."
