Materion reviews about "manager"

Having to be forced to do overtime due to lack of people. Lazy people. You’ll work with lazy people. I think it’s a conservative Ohio thing in the area. Racism from the workers.

Old school command and control hierarchy. Interview was literally the last time I was "allowed" to communicate upward. Daily cadence of multiple update meetings pushing sales and operations for unrealistic results. Manager routinely pushing for what he called a "junk yard dog" approach to driving the team.

If you not of European descent, you will never have the opportunity to become a manager or supervisor. They will promote an European descendant regardless if they are qualified or not.

The plant manager is toxic and created a very divisive environment. She is terribly condescending, rude, manipulative, and bad mouths others.

Lots of overtime. Very old, rundown equipment. Extensive PPE use. Poor communication. Management is not involved enough (bit of a pro and con). If managers have a problem with your performance they don't tell you themselves, you just find out that they've been talking about you behind your back. Lot of false promises from management. Not much upward mobility. Tension between shifts.

Poor Management, inexperience and no support in the supply chain team. Information is never consistent between coworkers. My manager spent most of his time playing and poking fun at team members.

There can be confusion between departments as to "who's job it is to do this"

Unfair treatment of African Americans , will not promote African Americans, will not work with employees with schedules, many have been on the same schedule for years, they are making them change their times without consideration of their lives with the shift they were hired on, new plant manager doesn’t have kids so she doesn’t care if you have kids and have to make arrangements to take care of them, allows managers to place blame on other employees and get them suspended.

understaffed, little to no training - training provided is very general and doesn't apply to all roles but is required monthly, large workloads (often doing the job that should be done by multiple people), take the heat for other unresponsive departments, management only reactive to concerns when they are taking heat, everyone has different understanding processes, ask if you need support but cannot provide any, management knows they are overloading employees and still harp on metrics which determine bonuses, you do the workload of multiple people but don't get paid for it. Managment talks about employees health and medical issues or tell other employees what is going on when you are out of the office. My coworkers should never be aware of my reason for being out sick. Account Managers are condescending and try and throw CSRs under the bus for things that are not "in their court" such as they know you are waiting on information from planning that you cannot get a response on, instead of also taking to planning to help get an answer they cc your boss and say "this has taken a week!" without mentioning your constant follow up to try and get an answer.
