Ecobat

Overall a very negative culture which leadership perpetuates through unreasonable expectations, strict work requirements and lack of empowerment.  All enforced through power of position, bullying and gas lighting.  Corporate environment is structured in a manner which exempts it from most laws which would provide a reasonable level of protection to employees.  The environment is maintained with a single leader controlling everything from company strategy to detailed accounting transactions.  Internal demands are regularly at or near impossible with the resources made available by leadership.  Work expectations and deadlines are the highest priority with no concern for work life balance.  60+ hour work weeks are a baseline in order to avoid negative feedback and public ridicule.  Zero professional development is offered.  Leadership is unable to commit to their own decisions which leads to increased frustration and loss of trust by employees.  Employees are treated with very minimal levels of respect and professionalism.  Extremely low morale stemming from an overall lack of empowerment and flexibility granted to professionals. Very strict office hours required for salaried professionals which are personally monitored by the highest level of leadership on a daily basis.  Archaic processes in place due to the lack of authority granted to professional employees for implementing improvements.

Great place to make bank due to hourly pay plus overtime and bonuses. $300 monthly safety bonus. Quarterly bonus is $500/$500/$750/$1000
Holidays paid, but you will be worked the other days to make up for it....sometimes you will work a holiday (this is double time plus the holiday pay). For the daily overtime you might know ahead or find out right before you are supposed to leave that you need to stay or come in early (4 hours). You can refuse overtime after 16 hours for the week, but if extra days are added that is mandatory because it is scheduled......sometimes hard to plan trips. Don't plan on taking time off your first year. You will not get your vacation or 4 personal days until the new year. Point system is 5 points to termination and 1 day is 1 point. Attendance is tied to bonuses. I had forklift and management experience when I started. So far I have gained some experience with torches, hot work permits, confined space entry, LOTO, overhead crane (1/2, 2 ton, 5 ton), spotting trailers, operating filter presses. It is nice to learn new things and move around. There are oportunities posted in other departments all of the time. They are supposed to look in before posting jobs outside. Most of this is seniority based


What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing good about working here. Low pay, worse management , unnecessary safety risks. 12 HR shifts. Management always pushing you not to take breaks. Very “high school” environment where if you’re not with the “popular kids”  you’re going to have a bad time. This place was like a time capsule of the 70s in all the bad ways of thinking that no longer exist in modern business management. Not inclusive and def not PC. Prospective employees beware 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything. They make it substantially more stressful by managing horribly. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The only work culture that exists here is “work until you die “ and then work some more. 

And 
“If you don’t feel safe doing it , idc do your job or you’re fired” 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Nonstop work from 6am-6pm four days a week. Management constantly asking to work thru breaks. You can’t really use your time off either because management refuses to properly staff departments so the only way you can take a day off is if someone covers for you. Absolute rubbish management

Working for RSR was definitely an experience. As a refinery operator I worked the hardest job physically of my life. Extreme heat and heavy strain on arms and legs was just a part of the job. It took mental toughness to get through the work day until my body got accustomed to the grueling physical demands of the job. The occupational hazards included the high probability of heat exhaustion, exposure to lead and other hazardous materials, risk of being burned working in proximity to molten lead and various pinch points throughout the work stations. That being said, safety was the upmost priority for management at the company. All P.P.E. was supplied to the workers and constant water breaks were encouraged to avoid heat exhaustion while out on the work area. The job was hard, it paid well and there was always opportunity for overtime.

I enjoyed my time at Ecobat, learnt what i could while i was employed with them, however both management and the supervisor didn't seem to show any concerns when problems occurred. It was like i was expected to just get on with it and keep my mouth shut. Most of the time i was expected to work on my own in the warehouse and for health and safety reasons i shouldn't have been left on my own. Never got a chance to have a full break, always had to work through it. Whatever i did according to my supervisor was never good enough. The supervisor also likes to use nepotism in the workplace, he was quite happy to employ his own brother to work under him, give him training and push me to one side. Overall the job was ok but the supervisor of the depot made each and every day unbearable. 

The work wasn’t terrible to do. The company and the company policies are terrible. They enforce OSHA compliance but then turn their heads when it’s a major violation. The management for the Millwrights is terrible to work with. Also had a lot of drama between shifts. It is very teach by mess up based. The insurance was good but you don’t have any vacation time, you get written up if you get sick after you’ve used your 3 personal days they give. The schedule was very inconsistent could not plan for anything on days off do to not having the guarantee to get your schedule days off. The Union is USW which did not really act like a union, if you had an issue and went to the union for help they would tell you to figure it out yourself and wouldn’t help you. 

At first when you start its actually a good week because orientation is in a nice office air cooled. Meet kool people.Nice check. Thats where the fun ends. When you start you never imagined doing this type of work. You get worked to the ground, The morale here is extremely low. This almost feels like a prison, cant go outside on your break unless you shower out and by that time you already killed 15 to 20 mins, out of a 30 minute break. Equipment is so beat up, the roads have massive potholes in the plant. Every one blames everyone . Do yourself a favor and dont come here. The money is good but at the cost of your hapiness.

If you are a truck driver looking for a job this is the place you want to be. Often times smaller fleets are over looked when drivers are looking to make a change. This shouldn’t be the case with Revere. The pay is industry best you have a 💯 dedicated tractor no slip seating and it’s a solid mix of short an long runs and trust me the overnight runs pay extremely well. So if your a driver reading this and thinking of applying I strongly encourage that you do. TRUST ME you won’t regret it!

poor structure, lack of honesty and ownership. Upper management is not open to suggestions or facts, hardest part of the job is working with the management group due to they do not like to be proven wrong, RSR firmly believes because you have been with the company for a long time your an asset even in not knowing your job.

Enjoyed watching my system and processes improve the teams I was managing. Enjoyed the work force under me as they were very receptive and willing to learn a new system.

Unless you enjoy being strung on by poor management and HR, DO NOT WORK HERE. 

You can't get an answer out of anyone and your issues will be considered a inconvenience. If you need special accommodations as in spectacle kits, make sure to ask about them during the beginning of the hiring process or else you will get the run around and it will then be your problem.

Again, do not work here unless you enjoy being frustrated on a daily basis.
