Massive, chronic leadership fail - Recensione dipendente - Senior Project Manager presso Wade Trim

Good pay, good people, rewarding and challenging work

Workload, comes in waves though

I met a lot of really nice people working there. Some of them will be lifelong friends. Very nice human resources. Company has a clear goal for its own future.

Extremely low pay for the work I was performing They will just add little things over time to your list of duties until what you're doing no longer even resembles your job description anymore, and when you ask for a pay bump in exchange for the extra work, they act like they're doing you a favor. Annual raises were surprisingly low. I wasn't expecting pie in the sky, I was just expecting at least the market average rate of pay for the work I was doing which, after researching, come to find I was making 15% less than even an entry-level engineer could be expected to make. The managers I worked under frequently had very little operational know-how and didn't seem to grasp engineering concepts that you'd think someone in the engineering industry at a supervisory level would know. They were good at managing the people - but the didn't know how to actually do anything regarding the work. Bonuses were laughable. Every year, the company made some kind of "record" profit, and sure we were given stock options, but it really just seemed like an elaborate tax shelter for the company. A LOT of the upper management seemed to be MAGA gun nuts, and I would hear frequent sexist jokes when they thought nobody was in earshot, which as a woman I really had no safe way to report.
