Workload far too high across all departments, including in senior management. Management clueless - micromanage the areas that don't matter and neglect the ones that do!

NOT WORTH THE ABUSE

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are good and supervisors are usually willing to give you the time off you request.

Cons

There is no room for growth unless you are considered a favorite. No AC in production and forced to wear long sleeve heavy clothes...many people have fainted or suffered from heat stroke. If you have used all of you OA time (one week) and call out you will get a verbal warning, then a written warning, unpaid suspension and then they will fire you. No HR at Seabrook site which makes supervisors get away with a lot of unprofessional behavior. Favoritism is the key to growth at Seabrook and the new plant manager has not hired a single person since being promoted in 2019....many have left though. I have seen a supervisors sexually harass many girls, throw chairs against walls when angry, tell employees they are easily replaceable and of course play favorites. HR has been told countless times and nothing has been done.
