Armstrong International

Weekday shifts saw IWTP maintenance and monitoring, boiler and ancillary equipment maintenance and monitoring, and maintenance and monitoring of a 4 compressor plant air system. Weekend shifts were start ups and shutdowns and a whole lot of pipe fitting. A single and not too active supervisor was all that was necessary in our crew of 5.
I learned a great deal about pipe fitting and industrial equipment maintenance in this year. I also had my introduction to water treatment here which became an EPA class K operator certification in the state of Illinois a little over a year later.
The small crew working for Armstrong got along well and accomplished a lot during my time there. The hardest parts of the job were being alone on weekends and doing repairs on piping jobs that could have kept 2 people busy. The Heinz plant has a lot of very old steam piping. I enjoyed the general maintenance and chemical related work .

Worked here for a long time and took me awhile to leave. Wasn’t bad at all in the beginning but with people retiring and new ones coming in a lot has changed. Some Management and the people in HR love to play favorites and bully ones they don’t like and will try to find reasons to let them go. The HR team isn’t the best….I lost a family member and they didn’t even ask how I was or about my family and they’re just plain rude in my opinion besides one. Parts are always missing and the warehouse is very unorganized, also very dirty. Very cliquey company, I use to keep to myself a lot because things spread like wildfire, it’s actually like going to high school. I wouldn’t recommend this place. Unless you got a management position….I left and the place I’m at now treats me so well and HR will actually text me to see if I need anything etc and my anxiety is better! Nice to work for a place where they actually care like this place use to. 

At Armstrong, people do their best at living by the same ethical values that I hold utmost in my personal life. 

Employees are not just trying to make a quick buck - they genuinely care about their work and the people they work with.

Their employee relations groups aim to offer many types of services in the fields of special events, wellness programs, workout facilities, philanthropy, and connections to retirees.

Armstrong has always had a heavy focus beyond serving its employees, customers, and partners. It has also gone above and beyond in serving its local community and volunteering in life-crisis situations. 

Through living by our core values, "Faith in God, family, and job" I am proud to work at a company such as this.

The work environment here is welcoming and supportive, with employees genuinely invested in the company and their roles. This kind of atmosphere is rare in my experience. The job offers a chance to learn and grow, presenting challenges that are stimulating but manageable. With flexible work hours and a family-first culture, you never have to worry about personal matters impacting your job. The culture is relaxed, without the high stress and long hours often found in the automotive industry. Longevity is common, with many employees celebrating 25, 30, or even 40 years with Armstrong. I truly enjoy working here and look forward to potentially retiring from this wonderful company.

Armstrong International is an absolute delight to work with and for.  I too, wish that I had discovered this company long before I did.  This is a company that genuinely seeks to support its employees in the ways in which support is needed and often-times that support can be outside of the work place.   Because of that reality, Armstrong goes above and beyond to care for it's employees in unique, creative, and committed ways. I am incredibly grateful to be working for a company that values its people, even at the cost of not making "business sense" at times.   

Very backstabbing middle management. Corporate puts to much trust in their middle managers. Honesty is one of their key values and it is broken daily. Twenty years ago this was a very good company, but now it is horrible at best. If your looking for employment their please do yourself a huge favor keep looking better jobs our out there. This was a weld code shop at one time, what a joke. It's just a matter of time when a customer like Shell finds out that they no longer care about quality or following very strict welding codes. Trust me I know I worked for over twenty years in their so called welling department.

Working at Armstrong has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. They are amazingly family-oriented and treat their employees with respect and dignity. Managers are willing to work with employees and flex their schedule when things pop up. The benefits are great along with all of the other "perks". This past year, my family experienced a huge tragedy and the company and my team were incredibly supportive of me. Again, I feel truly blessed to work for such a great company and I fully intend to spend the rest of my career here. 

Great company - the best I've ever worked for! No company is perfect but I truly feel cared about and valued as an employee and love coming to work everyday not feeling stressed and anxious as I have at other jobs. Coworkers are fun, friendly and helpful which makes the day fly by.  The company truly believes and work-life balance and I have the flexibility I need to take care of the things that I need to take care of.  No mandatory overtime is a huge plus for me and my family!

This was a summer job where I worked mostly in a factory position building the hot water hose stations and some other products that this manufacturer sold. The employees and management were all good down to earth people with reasonable expectations and standards. The hardest part about the jobs were the rush orders in which myself and my team of a few others had to get a massive amount of work done in a short period of time. All in all the company was great and took very good care of their employees.

While I worked here I was moved from plant to plant. I was put on jobs with very little experience and training for the job and told if I messed up I would be fired. Management kept setting me up to fail and it was very stressful. There is very little room to grow. The company has gone down hill in the past few years and I would not recommend working here.
