Great way to learn how not to run a company - Manufacturing Technician Balboa Water Group Employee Review

Pros

Good workers, clean facility, interesting tasks, challenging work, commute friendly location, ample parking

Cons

Dictatorship. Owned by capital venturist. Outdated, run down equipment in need of constant repair. Impossible goals. No standards in-place. Slow accrual of vacation (if allowed to take any). High turnover rate - knowledgeable employees don't last long. Profit is the only goal. No raises. Lousy benefits. Constant facility tours that disrupt production, as showcasing is more important. Misinterpretation of 5S and 6-sigma disciplines as housecleaning. Lost ISO 9000 qualification. CEO micromanages all company aspects but has no technical background: managers follow suit. New products are respins of older products - including flaws.
