1. The latest Technology in place has helped me to learn and grow in my career.
2. The business relationship i have found in work mates is of family kind, so that keeps me going and motivated.
3. working alone on shift managing more than 4 plants has helped me to eliminate fear, grow in my carreer, and mastered how to withstand all pressure built confidence that i can work anywhere globally.
Dislikes
1. safety is only on papers and not practical. we wait until something happens that is when measures are being put in place. sense of pro activness is not in place.
2. My imput dont just match with the payments, puting my life down on the production of Golda acid and copper only to get paid less than 600 usd makes me feel un employed.

Dislikes
There are a lot of politics and the management doesn't address our issues correctly. Salarys is decent but career growth is also very slow. There is a bond of 2 years before which you cannot resign.
On the job training is not given to new joiners.

Good Spares availability and equipment
Good care for workers
Health facilities
Safety is priorities
Dislikes
Retirement age should be looked at.
Too many senior management stuffs.
Promotion not on merit.
Nepotism too much.
More stuffs doing office works.
No teamwork in most area of work.
When someone fails workers are happy, instead of encouraging.
Too much backbiting at place of including senior staff.
Junior staff are not given chance to contribute on production challenges.
Some senior prefer production than safety, hence too conflicts at work.
Training deptment should be independent from Engineering, so that it exercises freedom in decisions making.
Hunam resources should be autonomous, so that it can give fair judgment, or be a channels between workers and management....Read More
