Training is brutal. Initial training is conducted internationally so they can have it cheaper. It took almost 30 days and there were only 2 days off in this entire time and they were not back to back so that you could see any of the sites. Weekends were consumed and there was no time to go home during this month. Training was from 0800 until 1800 or later every night in uncomfortable conference chairs in cramped space. Then on the job onsite audit training which is watching overworked and overburdened auditors struggle to get their assignments done. These auditors do not have enough time to train the trainee auditors. Auditors complain about not having enough time to eat or go to the bathroom because of the workload. it is absolutely miserable. 

You are expected to remember everything you've ever seen and be able to recall this. if you don't remember you are guilted. The work life balance is abhorrent.  you are expected to travel and conduct audits and perform reviews, audit submissions and audit registrations during your down time or in the evenings.  Expectations for auditors are unrealistic and there is no such thing as positive reinforcement from management. It's always how behind you are or how they can't believe you don't remember what was on that one slide that someone read to you over a year ago. 

Resources are limited and everyone is new and doesn't know what they are doing either. The people that do know what they are doing are so swamped they can't help anyone else. The turnover so frequent because of these conditions.

Not a great company to work at. Say they don't micromanage but they micromanage everything you do. Unnecessary weekly meetings. People take FOREVER to respond to you and the client. High stress job ALL THE TIME. People come and go, quickly. Stressful job. Management is dishonest. Low pay and it seems like they don't want to pay you. No career growth. 

Turnover is so high, the expectation to know everything out of the gate is crippling and there is no support from anyone because everyone you work with is probably just as new as you are. Even though some people have been working there for a couple years, they still don't know what they are doing or what the heck they are talking about. If you ask for help, they tell you to look at the training material provided on their drive. Those training material are unhelpful and don't tell you anything as things are constantly changing. 

They are about diversity, inclusion, and career development but that's all bs. You won't be supported and likely be punished for standing out. 

Not a good company to work for.  They do not tell you up front that you must depended on your own personal charge cards for over $10 K in charges for training, and they do not tell you that your schedule requires 90% traveling.  When asking for feedback, they are vague at best and do not give good reasons according to their requirements.

Although I very much enjoyed the people at this company, and learning all the Standards, I would never work for this company in that they are very unreasonable with respect to employees good will and health.

A typical day includes running tests to provide developmental data or certification of various automotive components. The Plymouth, MI site focuses primarily on testing of electromagnetic compatibility of automotive electronic components.

Training needs to be improved. You learn by observing and when left to do individual work, you will have many questions pertaining to test setup, equipment locations, test procedure, etc. Takes several months to get used to.

The work itself is relaxing, but can be boring.

Ineffective leadership at the very top (CEO /CFO). This has been the case the past four years and has been very difficult to endure.  Morale and competency diminished over time, and the hardworking staff had to bear the brunt of ineffective management.  Poor management capabilities, lack of change management skills which crushed the service line, management doing very little work and a large number of staff being left to collect paychecks for making a negative contribution.

Underperforming leaders hired ineffective management at all levels.

Small number of ineffective managers have been directed towards the door recently, however it is late in the game and the best staff left prior.

Many cons.

This company is so progressive and amazing but unfortunately they have bad management in some of the departments. You will receive zero training. Your manager will scream yell and berate you in staff meetings and through passive aggressive emails. Training is supposed to be 4 weeks but lasted 4 months. You are also in control on your own training and responsible for making it happen. They will not initiate it at all. I had such high hopes for this company but it is the MOST toxic work environment I have ever stepped foot into. 

I was the Safety Coordinator for shutdowns at power plants. I watch over a crew of anywhere from 25 to 75 employees at one time. They were spread throughout the unit. It was very fast paced. Making sure that everyone staid compliant, and safe. My motto was if I'm not going to do it, neither are they, and we found a safer way to get the job done.

Very knowledgable people, but no opportunity for advancement unless it is convenient for them.  I had not been told that travel was going to be a requirement, but within 48 hours, I was desired to travel out of the country with no definitive date, or time frame, of when I would return stateside to my wife and baby.  They spread their employees too thin, and put up with employees neglecting their duties because they are the only ones who will stay with the company.  I would not recommend, unless you are single and like to be treated as a child.

Management does their best but everyone wears several hats so they are giving 50% to different things with virtually no follow through. Department morale is very low and there is a severe lack of communication. The pay is not even close to worth the stress this place causes. Very high turnover so those who stay are stuck with even more work and no reward. Things are constantly changing which makes doing the job difficult.
