IMI Plc

Employees are not trusted or allowed to lead and take ownership of their job, just told what to do and then blamed when results are bad, Management is punitive, extremely high turnover rate as management does not support it blames. Business leaders remain arms length so they are not blamed. Very unbalanced work/life experience drives high turnover due to unrealistic work expectations and no compromise. Highly recommend to not work here even if you have to have a job. You will arrive only to hear the stories in secret.

Most people do not leave great companies voluntarily. They leave toxic work culture,  micromanaging leaders who lack confidence with new talent, and most importantly who you have to become to survive the day to day.  When Senior leadership leads with the mentality of "I really shouldn't be telling you anything " to someone brand new to the company... start looking for a company that truly values your contributions. The continuous acceptance of toxic behaviors ruins the opportunity to successfully break down silos amongst teams and work processes. Too much of a point the finger culture instead of creating the correct processes to resolve the issue is evident.  No formalized training for significant roles which directly impact NPS scores. This company's presence, work environment,  efficiency, and people culture outside of the US is phenomenal. High turnover due to not wanting to train new talent vs allowing the same toxic behaviors to continue because they do not need training. 

The only thing I could that would be under "bad" would be how they handled my medical situation (I had an eruption and was left unable to work for 2 weeks). I had only worked at the company for less than a year, and I have to say, they do seem to care for their employees, and I was quite impressed with how much involvement the higher ups were with everyone in regards of safety and things going on with the company itself. Great benefits, good hours. This is by far, the best job I had, not only for the pay but because the majority of the leads here are really great people.

What is the best part of working at the company?
On the surface appears to be very employee centric but not really after learning more over time.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Meeting set goals that are truly not within reach and no support internally. Problematic employees are an ongoing issue and there is no consistent management support when trying to document and discipline those employees.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Initially warm and welcoming, family feel but then the toxic truth comes to light.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
As in any manufacturing company, fast paced and ever changing.

Worst job in the universe, stay far away from this place. There was zero work life balance here. It was a feast or famine environment. The management was terrible. There was no level loading, no balance of work, and no reliable work schedule. You couldn't ever plan anything with your family. You always had the fear of losing your job because of bad management and a lack of work a lot of the times. Management had no dignity and respect for the employees. High turn over, people were consistently leaving this place. Culture was terrible and it came from the top down. You have been warned, stay away from this place if you want to keep your sanity intact. 

IMI and it's subsidiary Norgren Inc. are well run professional companies.  You get out what you put in.  If you work hard and are professional then opportunities will open up.  I was with them for over 30 years and recently retired.  I lived in 3 countries, made many friends, lost count of the number of positions I held and was always challenged and never bored.  
They are a profitable company and don't keep slackers around.  Management are reasonable to work with (almost all the time).  In a 42 year professional career I would not have stayed with them for >30 years if they did not have a great bunch of people.

Huge on giving stretch goals, but offer zero support, coaching, mentoring.  Terrible at communicating to the right people when something is wrong, would rather complain behind someone's back instead of approaching the person and giving them the opportunity to fix what is wrong and learn from it.  People do not work together because everyone is so overloaded and has their own agenda.  Way too much scrutiny and red tape to get things done  Corporate management is very "clicky".

What is the best part of working at the company?
There was zero good or positive. Tons of
Turnover, management team lacks empathy or experience. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Worklife balance.  Long hours, no reward not even a thank you
, 



What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Its horrible.  Lazy people promoted, keep
People who accept less pay for positions they are not qualified for.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long hours, management criticizing your work when no safe operating procedures in place.  Wasted money because of ineffective inefficient hires.

I arrive at work and I address a safety meeting for the first 15 minutes.  I talk over with my supervisor and the engineers the tasks I need a accomplish that day.  I look at the work load for the machines, type of work, and determine which machine to program the work for.  I determine any new, replacement tooling, or inserts we need.  I fined out the material type and size.  Then I program the part in the most efficient way we can do.

I spent a long time at the Company, supporting several sites. I felt that the people actually at the site care about their jobs, about Quality and where the Company is heading. The upper management, on the other hand, does not seem to care one bit. Resources are slashed at a whim, even backfill requests take months to be reviewed and approved (if you are lucky). It is all a numbers' game and there is little focus on processes, standardization and quality. End of the months are the most horrible times in a year.
