Onboarding very bad

Pros

Good work life balance, early finish on fridays.

Cons

Training was almost non existent, which made things very difficult due to the sheer amount of technical information thrown at you. Some of the teams are full of people who have been there for many years too, which can be intimidating.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you highlighted that the hours enable a positive work-life balance, especially considering the early Friday finish. In relation to the points raised about not enough training when joining, we are sorry that you have felt this way. Across the business we have sought to make many improvements to the overall induction process in recent years, however we appreciate this has not met your expectations in this instance. If there is something particular you feel would have helped induct you into the business, for example training that would have benefitted you that you did not receive, please raise this with the HR team or the manager in your department. We are always looking to hear feedback from current employees on this type of topic as it helps us improve for the future. We will also pass the message relating to training onto manager of the relevant department so that we can assess where inductee training can be improved.

Pros

The facility is located in the DFW area.

Cons

This company uses a lot of contractors and cheap labor out of Mexico. They will not hesitate of ship your job out the country if Boeing approves the transfer and they can save them a few labor dollars. The spend managed by the procurement team in Denton is small. The manager that is responsible for Procurement at the Denton facility is a poor leader. The person is unprofessional and the person thinks he knows more than he does. The sad part is that the individual has been employed with Safran for over 10 years. When an organization has a poor leader in place for along time that should tell you a lot about the organization.

Thank you for your feedback. As an international organization, we work closely with our sister companies in many countries, including the US, Mexico, France, Canada, Tunisia, and the UK. We value the work of every team member at each location, and we are committed to fostering a positive and respectful work environment for all employees. We regret that your experience with us has not been a positive one. We know that not every leader’s management style aligns with each employee, and while we make every effort to develop leaders and rectify any concerns that are brought to us, we know that personal experiences change from individual to individual. Since your review, we have analyzed the culture of the Procurement department and feedback is generally positive; we are sorry that your personal experience did not align with that feedback. We will continue to perform annual leadership assessments of our management team in an effort to continually develop and grow as an organization.
