To advance you actually need to be a great "butt kisser." I currently work in the saint louis plant, and that is all this place is. It's not what you know here, but who you know! We have people that are "time administrators," and actually go and fix their own time, so they don't get fired. We have folks don't no call, no shows about 7 times a year, only to go back and fix it! That is what aggravates many fellow employees, not fair to others. Leadership is horrible here, they believe that they are actually smarter than technicians because they went to college. So they look down upon them. Sad thing is many technicians have gone to college and earned a engineering degree or business degree, or an it degree, but just chose a different path. That is also aggravating. Leadership is clueless to those who deserve promotions versus those whom they "like." We have a high turnover here, because people are frustrated with so many things. Like i stated career advancement is a hard thing to do at this plant, they do not recognize talent very well, they promise you things that will never come into play. They give you extra things on top of your current job, saying that you should take this on, since you want to be a leader in this company. Only to have that leadership promotion go to someone else with less seniority than you, less knowledge, and hasn't even worked toward being a leader! So they use you for that work, but have no intenetikns of giving you that position, because you don't kiss enough butt! Bottom line, if you aren't a great butt kisser, do not apply for P&G St. Louis!
