Zeus Includes: Toxic Culture, Autocracy, No HR Confidentiality, "Good Boys Club" Mentality, Constantly Changing Priorities, Lack of Empathy, Narcissist Upper Management

Great Insurance and Benefits; Good Pay - Is it worth the poor culture?
 
To Upper Management: 
Reassess your leadership team- replace with managers that are LEADERS who empower, inspire and help make decisions as a team utilizing the 'right' data- inside of an ERP system and OUTSIDE of one (complete picture). You are not moving the dial and progressing. Those asking to make changes get frowned upon and then told exactly what to do- even if you challenge that it will not be the best decision as you're the SME.

Your team members have no trust and confidence in HR; who is willing to support the plant manager to the detriment of the company. Management of some team members is impossible; as they're close to the family that owns the business- yet your'e still expected to achieve results. There is too much focus on blame, rather than future solutions and support. Narcissist behavior is frequently used. Tenured team members speak of the plant having the lowest morale they've ever seen. Perception is reality; if a member of the Zeus leadership team spoke privately, openly and honestly to several team members at the site (that are willing to open up) it would expose this toxic culture.

Be honest with people! Communicating to the entire company that you are not "laying off" anyone and only "furloughing" some in probation, but then minutes later word-smithing your layoffs as "eliminating positions" to keep up with the "no layoff" appearance is very duplicitous. Especially when you're just moving someone in the same position at another plant over.

I don't believe all Zeus locations are like this. It just goes to show what can happen to a location when you put the wrong people in leadership roles.

This used to be a great company to work for in the past. Supervisors and upper management have high expectations to fulfill past due orders and overwork their employees. Mandatory Saturdays plus mandatory overtime during the weekdays are very exhausting . Some Supervisors in this department are not very professional and have bad attitudes. If you are not in their clique, then you will be assigned to a faulty machine that do not produce quality parts. The machine will break down constantly and you will not meet production rates. 
A lot of employees lie about their actual production rates, causing the job rate expectation to be in a higher category. A few employees engage in gossip and cannot be trusted. A lot of employees are miserable at work,unsatisfied, overlooked, and treated unfairly. Most are afraid to voice their opinion to upper management from fear of being terminated. HR is truly a joke and pretend to be so busy in their office. The monthly free lunch and benefits are the only advantage from this company, because you have to be family/ friends to the owners to get a desirable position. Do not work in this miserable department. 

It’s an easy job, and it’s a new plant that has the potential for growth. The con is the company will never grow to its potential because they run all of the good help off. You can go above and beyond to get orders out but none of that is never enough for them. You can’t work overtime hardly ever  so it’s hard to make it off of their pay especially in times like these. Even though this company is small it’s hard to move up because management pick and choose who they want to move up and rules apply to who. If you’re black you can wear a Durag to protect your hair from some of the things you come in contact with. $600-700 every week, one week the plant manager is charge and the next HR is in charger, Management doesn’t get to know their employees at all to make them feel comfortable or to know if they have things going on outside of work that could effect them working a certain shift, 90 day probation period, insurance starts 30 days after hired. This place is a joke and really wouldn’t advise anyone to go and work at Zeus Industrial Products.

Zeus is a place you don't want to stay at long term. The starting pay is good and the benefits are great and that's about it. You will have no place for advancement or any type of real career, it's just a job. The business is terribly ran and they promote people who are close to the family that runs the place. They bring in people with no experience at all and put them in management positions. They do no care about people who've put in the years to actually know the job. All they care about is doing things their way even though it makes the job unnecessarily harder without even taking advice from people who have been there a long time and who know what their doing. Also the training program is completely terrible. Also the overtime is extremely taxing on the employees which requires you to do 12 hours 4 to 5 times a week and a mandatory Saturdays on top of that. It's a extremely boring and unrewarding job, so take it if you have no other options but do not expect to make it something long term, just use zeus as a stepping stone to move on to something better.

As soon as COVID-19 was getting serious, Indeed was one of the first companies to implement a mandatory work-from-home policy. Our healthy and safety came first, and I felt so lucky our company had the opportunity to make that decision. Since the WFH policy, our CEO, COO, and SVP of HR have been INCREDIBLE with transparency, being here for us and communicating to us more than I've ever seen.

I feel valued, heard, and my work means something when I am at Indeed.

In terms of benefits, it's truly fantastic. We have unlimited PTO, and we are encouraged to take it. 401K match up to 3%. Great healthcare plan. Our NYC office is beautiful with fully stocked drinks and snacks. There's a gym and multiple terraces. We have company happy hours once a month and our holiday parties are OUTSTANDING. Every year the company gives everyone a really nice gift for the holidays. I really could go on for a long time. Definitely, definitely apply.

Do not work here. No assigned breaks for 12 hours. If your machine is running you can take a break but a very short one( less than 10 minutes). You do about 4 to 5 different jobs at the same time. The workload they give you is ridiculous. It’s obviously a two man job per machine. Management is awful and they avoid trying to help you. It’s so much you have to know and honestly they needs to pay you for it or just hire two operators per machine. If you can do three to four things at one time fairly well then maybe this job is for you but other than that m. Stay far away from here. They can’t keep people to stay as TfE operators because of the workload, complexity, and unfairness of the job. I wouldn’t recommend this job to no one. Only work here if you can’t find no other place to work. This is a place you should only work short term. 

To start off if you are not mentally stable then this is not the job for you. This job has a lot to do with technical and being mentally stable because you have to be able to think and to be able to troubleshoot. If your mind is not at work, you will not perform well at all. Don't look for management to uplift you or give you praise for the work you do, they are all negative and for themselves. If you are use to working on a job that gives you breaks this is not the job for you. You break at your machine if you can while running, if your machine is down you don't get a break. This job is sooooo stressful for the amount of work you have to do and the pay is not worth it. I hate to get personal but my dad pass away from stress leaving work from a massive heart attack and this job will do that to you.  Beware if you are thinking about working here.

Benefits are hard to beat!!! You only move up if you have the correct number of points for the quarter, having knowledge of the job is not important so you have supervisors that can’t help you succeed!! Management is awful, plant manager only speaks to certain people… management sends out emails to communicate changes through the supervisors who get the backlash because they never talk to the employees who actually do the job to try to gain insight on how they feel about the changes!! Lunch breaks???? What are those?!!! Machine is running so you better hope you have enough time to eat because you only have 20 minutes to eat, and I’ve worked through plenty of breaks. Not family oriented at all, I felt like they didn’t care enough about their employees 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is s great, and the work isn’t hard at all. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The people! Employees can always make or break your work experience. You have to be careful around some workers/ Supervisors, theirs more good people than bad. Overall the work culture is pretty good! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is a topical wearhouse vibe. You been in one you been in them all lol. Work Culture is great; they are always doing morale busters and they even have a employee day, it’s like a little festival!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I held 3 different positions: material handler, shipping and receiving clerk, and compound.

Each day is different and filled with challenges and opportunities for improvement. Because Zeus custom designs tubing, there is always a new job that requires the attention of the Internal Auditor. Although the job is a serious one, as it requires measuring activities against ISO 9001:2008, my co-workers make the difference to ease the stresses of the day that come with the nature of the job. The most enjoyable part of the day is when it ends and I feel and know that I have made a positive and lastly change in the workplace.
