AMF Bakery Systems

AMF had potential to be a perfect workplace. Unfortunately they went just a tiny bit too budget friendly and missed the mark a little. Morale was pretty good, employees got along well. I was a temp for an entire year and performed very well, there was another guy who was there longer than me and he was a temp still (almost 3 years... not cool). I have heard that when covid went down, they furloughed all Temps and then let them go. I learned so, so much here and I am truly thankful to have found this job when I did. I have a career as a machinist now thanks to this company. The company really does try to give back to the world. We had one day where we all shut our machines down and made bagged lunches for families in need in the area. That was great.

Now, the bad parts...

They liked to outsource management rather than hire from the floor, so you had the typical issues that come with that,  like a supervisor that you can't go to for help,  and they don't always understand problems you're facing. Also there's no a/c. And someone kept stuffing chicken bones up in the toilet paper dispenser. 

My positions allowed me to analyze problems and find solutions. My cost evaluatons were complete and thorough, allowing me to control better cost and keep pricing at an 89% overall profit.

Having 20 years experience with cost accounting, it helped me understand the MRP system and work the Master Scheduling position effectively.  By learning how much time it to to manufacture a part and how many were required to be on hand at all times I could effectively put work orders thru the shop and maintain on hand balances for all machines and sales.  I was also able to trace requirements back to sources and keep old product out of shop and stock room and make sure forecasts were driving correctly.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing good there. The Manager in the Stockroom along with his lead are Very disrespectful. The employees work under fear and duress. If you speak freely out or complain, they will terminate you.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being restricted to perform duties with no one to bring resolution. But then they Will rely on you to work around the roadblocks the other egotistical employees display

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They are very unorganized. Safety hazards everywhere. Never have the proper parts to do what they are requiring.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working through gossip and controlling leads on position.

I wouldn’t call it stress but be the best we could be.

It was always about the customer. The diverse and experienced team made it possible.

The excitement of being at work to be a little better than we were the day before. Always thinking outside the box and redefining the rules we knew.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The schedule is very nice. Very nice people 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No organization. It’s just a free for all. Just do what you want. Absolutely no structure 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s frustrating due to the lack of structure, and the wages are low. You basically need to find something to do. Management has no control or experience to show you anything 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Sitting, waiting for parts that sometimes takes 3-4 days

What is the best part of working at the company?
Leaving at the end of the day

Working there in general but specifically being expected to be moving non-stop when parts weren't in stock

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Excessive micromanaging and unachievable goals

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Nonstop moving except for lunch and never doing enough to meet expectations

I feel like it could be chill but it's a grind, cameras monitoring your progress, during clean up your napoleon complex of a manager will literally kick your pile of dust that you just swept up because you went to find a dust pan since they have like 2 dust pans. The time allotted to finish projects can definitely use some work but it's not the worst. Overall it's a very boring/stressful environment and if you don't like country music and loud noises at 6am then this job will probably start to drive you crazy.

You're given absolutely no training, terrible drawings that engineers don't help with or modify their mistakes, micro management, absolutely zero processes in place to help the mechanics and streamline our work. Day 1 here's a wrench figure out this machine you've never seen before with no instructions and no SOP's, just a bad drawing with bad angles, incorrect and incomplete material lists. Told to figure it out!

I do t regret my time at AMF nor do I say it was unpleasant. I enjoyed my career there and now I’m ready for a new adventure   I appreciate all that AMF did for me and will use it to add to my career foundation

Its just ok management is a mess there's basically no training process when you're new, other employees are good for the most part definitely some favoritism. Pay is good not great, raises are abysmal. They do have quarterly bonuses, decent benefits, and OT on holiday/ vacation. Overall, an ok company they just need some adjustments, and it could be good.
