Instead of requiring employees to do the jobs they were hired for, other personnel are ask to do their jobs in addition to their own.  There seems to be a lack of accountability and responsibility.  This makes it hard to expect new employees to do their jobs when they see the duties other people are responsible for bring farmed out to others.  Fairly high turn over rate due to what I consider incompetent management hence the "right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing".  Would not recommend this employer.  Poor overall attitude plant wide.  For example, Upon meeting the plant manager FOR THE FIRST TIME he stated "I hope you stay longer than most.  We cant keep people"!  Who says that to a brand new employee!!!!  Now I see why they have a high turnover...their management.  Working here is better than being unemployed.  Hard to keep a good attitude when you feel like you're one of the few that have one.

Adkev offered a collaborative work environment with diverse personalities that made it easy to connect across departments. Department managers were strong leaders - hands on, involved in daily tasks, and genuinely supportive of their teams. 

The main issue was executive leadership. There was a consistent lack of accountability at the executive level when decisions failed, with blame falling toward lower level leadership. Executive leaders often dismissed suggestions from those overseeing daily operations, which led to gaps in planning and preventable operational challenges. 


Work life balance was also a major concern. Office employees were expected to prioritize work above all else, and those who did not were treated poorly. Additionally, there were instances of unprofessional behavior from senior leadership that created discomfort and concern. 

Work at Adkev what I thought would be fun experience would have to running the Machines but yet again it wasn’t. People wouldn’t clean up around the machines when the other person was going to be taking over. Some people wouldn’t fill up the suck up Barrel and you would end up running out and on top of that sometimes people wouldn’t make enough box’s or they would have the wrong box’s. The only good thing is that they would switch people from running one machine to another that’s what I liked. Other then that that’s about it not somewhere I would be telling people hey you got to work at Adkev it’s a great job haha but it’s truly really isn’t not in my eyes.

Its a very small town, so you have to be open to everyone trying to know your business.  Its not a horrible place to work, but you can be blessed with under qualified superiors without college degrees. A lot of the higher ups did not even know I had a degree in engineering. I was promised working with engineers and eventually being put in that roll. In all reality, I was filling a position they were having trouble filling with no set timeline of when I would have the opportunity to move up. In addition, I would not of moved there if I did not know there were policies that limited me of advancing in my career. When I left, they hired someone to do exactly what I was trying to propose to them. The policies on processing were lifted as well

The hours and opportunities are good. People are good and there are paid breaks and lunch. I really enjoyed my time there. But sadly, I came to learn that my position as a pt didn’t matter overall. I was easily (through nesco, so it’s my fault for not knowing this could happen) told to not come back to work randomly on a weekend through phone call with no reason for it. Now I’m out of a job, and I’d hate for people to also experience the same. I is a shame since I didn’t mind work and I even kind of enjoyed it. Felt nice, but it’s a bad company. They do not and won’t care for you in the long run. If you’re through nesco and want to keep the job, make sure to constantly ask how you’re doing. They won’t tell you in depth at all or give warning that you aren’t meeting expectations.

Stable job.  There are opportunities for advancement but only for positions that offer another dollar an hour.  Claims be be a drug free workplace but do not perform any drug tests unless an accident occurs.  Stable work hours with opportunities for over time around middle of the year, as well as mandatory Saturday work days around the same time of year. Human resources are hard to reach when you need information on something but they do not have any problem finding you if they need to talk to you about something.  Few managers are qualified for their positions and many fold under pressure and lash out at employees.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Co-workers. Not management, but the on the line, next to you co-workers.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management. Rules aren't  followed the same for every employee. There is mass favoritism, and not based on work preference.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful. Fast passed. One day it's  one way the next day it's  totally changed.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Run and sweat you butt off, you'll  get your steps in. It's hot.

I worked at Adkev for about 3 years was an easy job for the line of work you were doing however numerous times I encountered situations like being on the same exact press over and over which wasn't a big deal until they put me on a press that I was not good at at all and continued putting me there like 4 times a week I talked to the supervisor about it and nothing was done then actually took the time to talk to HR and it just so happened that no one took it serious at all  I loved working there but when it came down to how cell leads treat their PT's it was too much 

The culture at Adkev is positive. The importance from the employees to do a good job and be proud of their work is apparent.  The management is respectful of your time as an employee.  Adkev offers paid lunch within an 8 hour shift.  Shift incentive pay is on par with other businesses around them.  The physical labor required to perform the job is not intense, the factory is temperature controlled and clean. Adkev is a growing company with lots of advancement opportunities.  

Tasks are not difficult, with the majority being boring and tedious but an excellent starting job for people new to the workforce that wish to obtain/learn various skills from various positions. Unfortunately, the company does lack in enforcing its own policies which causes some confusion, communication issues and negative morale amongst employees of all positions.
