-Favoritism-
This is very noticeable in the production floor. It's unfortunately very discouraging when we can clearly see the veteran techs and management level individuals only catering to a select few. A lot of us newer technicians want the opportunity to grow with the company, but so far, we just feel "stuck" with the company.
-Levels-
There are lower level techs outperforming some of the higher level techs, yet we still have to wait a set amount of years until we get a promotion to the next level. This is probably the main reason why retention rate is low in the assembly floor. The transition from Tech I to Tech II doesn't include a boost in hourly pay, the only thing added is the swing shift differential.
-Character-
ISI emphasizes positive characteristics which I value a lot, yet a good amount of new/experienced technicians on the floor have not portrayed much of it from my honest analysis. It makes us wonder, does ISI really look for well-driven candidates with great characteristics? Or are they just hiring anyone to fill in the vacant positions from former techs that left for the same reasons listed above?
