AJAX-Tocco-Magnethermic-Corporation

Typical day:  compare purchase orders against items received/pricing.  Discuss pricing &/or quantity discrepancies with purchase managers; enter invoices into AS400 system, occasional inventory checks; talk to vendors on the phone to verify invoices correct; weekly check runs to pay invoices; stuff envelopes, filing, etc.  I was an AP clerk.  Our supervisor was a hard person to work for, very particular in how she wanted things done & even if  you could show her an easier/better way of doing it, she would not allow you to change her methods.  She also wasn't fond of letting us take actual breaks in the breakroom, instead she wanted you to use the restrooms as fast as possible & bring your snacks back to your desk with you & not socialize with other coworkers who worked in the actual plant.  The hardest part of the job was getting the purchase managers to find time to get back to you with discrepancies in order to get invoices processed on time.  The most enjoyable part of my job was it was a regular routine, you knew what to do on a regular basis & rarely had changes to the way it had to be done.

Would not recommend working here.  Very little opportunity for advancement, unless you are friends with the right people (this is a fact, a particular person was photographed sleeping on the job more than once and that person was promoted to a manager position).

Bonuses are always paid late.  Reviews are always late and retro pay (if any - only give cost of living raises and those aren't guaranteed) is always months after reviews.  

Benefits renewals are always late, the benefit renewals used to happen in January, but every year for the past 10 years they have been delayed and this year they were in Oct. and employees still had to wait a month for the system to update.  The benefits are pretty bad and it is frustrating to have to deal with the delays every year.

This is definitely a male dominated company, and people have said that certain positions are "women work".  Men are definitely treated differently than the females.  

The company does very little for their employees.  

Overall this company is not a good choice for some looking for long term employment.  There are things I would write that would just seem to absurbd to be true.

•	Fork lift operator for any and all equipment, or otherwise needing moved.
•	As of April 2014 all bushing repairs have been made my responsibility. Emphasis on correctly repairing the bushings in a timely manner with bushing effectiveness to be competent and lasting...  
•	Sandblast an array of miscellaneous items for the MIS department and miscellaneous parts for other departments where they repair and manufacture new Magnathermic coil and other miscellaneous charged emission devices.
•	Other departments within Ajax require services as well within my department where sandblasting is a stepping stone in completing their work to the standards of the clientele that we do our work for from start to finish.
•	Coils and other pressure tested devices are done by myself as well as preparation work for the completion of jobs itemized for manufacturing and shipping
•	Induction heating requires new or refurbished inductors where refractory enclosures are manufactured to insulate and protect the bushings that supply the power and heat that eventually melts the metals established based on the amperage and voltage emitted by the bushings. The staging and prep work for these is sometimes an instrumental part of what I am required to do.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The job never got old.  From learning to work on high power induction power supplies and the ancillary equipment allowing it to run, like hydraulic systems, water systems, elec. distribution systems, temperature sensing systems, various forms of handling equipment of hot parts., and etc etc.  Always interesting in the end.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Customer expected repairs to happen too fast while it was often a process to figure out what production issue, or mis-reading or Logic fault or Power supply fault was happening.  Management/Sales always assisted in this speed repair expectation.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Probably like most.  there are some very smart folks there that are pushing the induction power supply design frontier.   It's a production engineering firm so lots of stress, time lines, missed shipment, lack of parts for assembly etc etc.  But likely typical.

Reading blueprints, locating and identifying parts, inspecting parts for fabrication , layout parts, fitting and welding parts according to specs. Inspection  of completed parts. Filling out identification tags for part. Using 50 ton overhead crane when needed and tow motor.  I learned tons in the welding field. I received my certification in using Mig,Tig and Flux-core. With Steel, Stainless and Aluminum.  I also received a certification with a 50 ton Overhead Crane. And OSHA approved Tow Motor License. The most enjoyable part of my job was I got the chance to learn something new.  The only thing I did not like was No ventilation during winter.

Could have been a great workplace, pay was good work was typical but management could not manage their personal finances so they needed overtime to pay their bills they would sometimes keep workers on 12 hour shifts and 8 on saturday and sunday. and we would have nothing to do but sweep. I didnt mind working overtime when it was needed but there is nothing worse than having to work on the weekend when there is no work. machine assembly/paint boss was the worse, he liked to constantly be breathing down peoples necks to pick up the pace and make you so nervous that you made mistakes then he would throw you under the bus to his boss. the other department heads were alot easier to work for.co workers were a mix some good some jerks

My first stepping stone and a great place to start learning about anything engineering. This place is always integrating equipment at customer shops, you have something new every day you have to deal with. I dont think i will ever stop learning here, but the pay and benifits are kind of low. The warren area is not exactly scenic, so if you live to work this place is great. If you want more personal time, this place tries to accomodate but PTO is laughable at 9 days a year with 6 sick days added to that. after those are spent you can then convert overtime to vacation time usually 1 day every 2 weeks. So if anything comes up you are screwed. Im getting ready to leave for more work/life balance. i hope to find another job similar to this one but with better benefits and pay.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I really can't pinpoint one thing specifically; not because there were too many, but too few.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Constantly being behind. They have no idea how to match cycle and lead times. No employee investment/empowerment. The workers are treated like idiots. They have no dynamic inventory (other than AS400) 🤣 and moral is in the negative numbers.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A "do as I say, not as I do" environment.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, working on multiple projects with terrible prints and not enough parts to finish anything.
