Suggestions for improvement

• Collaborative efforts from management with present employees would be so productive to the overall mission.

What I like about the company

It makes windows.

What I dislike about the company

No growth, they say initially they do but they don’t. I worked with them for 5 years no issues from my part, and I have a Degree, still no growth plan and or promotion.

Support from management

Not one manager knows what it takes to get finished goods out the door. The solution for everything is a write up or firing. Suggestions are ignored and the common saying is "it's never like this" or "we've always done it this way at milgard". Retention rates are horrible due to constant 12 hour days up to six times a week.

Work-Life Balance

You will live at milgard. With bad equipment and raw materials it's impossible to reach goals. Not enough training and no training manuals will make your head spin. Easy job made difficult by higher ups.

Job Security

You will always have your job threatened. It's a daily thing that supervisors remind people they have 6 weeks to adapt to the poor working conditions (management)

Workplace Safety

They try really hard. You'll hurt your back, shoulders, wrists or get cut by vinyl, metal or broken glass. Management will then tell everyone your dead weight and taking away from bonuses.

Suggestions for improvement

• Train management, have them work a line and see why the suggestions they make are terrible.

Benefits package

What I dislike about the company

The culture and human resources.

Over work teams with under pay and show very little appreciation. Employees are a dime a dozen.
