Since moving to Battle Mountain NV. there were no opportunities to teach in such a RURAL location. Mining is the most prevalent industry, so I became involved and enjoyed my work
I would arrive at the mine and pick up my order placed the previous visit. I would go to the various shops, both underground and surface to put away the order and reorder for the next visit. Visiting with the shop foremen or manager was an enjoyable component. I know little of mining or the needs to run mining operations, but becoming knowledgeable and able to answer questions of those working there was a pleasure.
I was given near autonomy of my area as it was the farthest from headquarters. It was an opportunity to grow and learn. I became the problem solver for my area. Since I was on my own, contact with co-workers was limited, but always enjoyable.
The hardest part of my job was learning which parts were required for what job. The most enjoyable, being comrades and friends with those whom I worked

The company is stuck in the 1970. They talk about becoming a smart factor and innovations and that’s all it is, talk. Even trying to make small improvements out on the shop floor to be more efficient / better quality can be a joke. The general manager thinks everyone should want to work 12 hours a day like she does. When task are not moving at the speed she thinks (which a lot of time it seems she has no clue how long it takes to do it currently) she thinks yelling at you as if you are a kid will get it done. At the end of each month it’s a mad dash to get product made and shipped out the door instead of having a manufacturer plan in place to have a steady flow of product. So unless you like working in a sweat shop using 1970 technology I would not recommend Barnes aerospace Ogden. 

At Barnes Distribution a typical day at work would consist of me answering the phone, faxes and e-mails for customers, sales representatives, sales managers and venders.   Placing orders, clarifying information, researching items for special orders, provide correct information.  Resolve problems by clarifying issues: offer alternative solutions; finding alternative solutions apply the solutions; escalating unresolved problems.
Update call center database by entering information: resolving problems, resulting in high levels of satisfaction, referral and retention, exploring opportunities to add value to the job accomplishments.

I very much liked working for Barnes Distribution. I had great management to work for and they provided a good work / life balance. They also provided good compensation and benefits program. A typical day at work was cold calling, setting up sales appointments, holding sales meetings, and closing new business. The hardest part of the job was selling a product three or four times more than the other competing products. I enjoyed the people I called on and the people I worked with.

Wonderful company, but with the current merger with MSC everyone is left on outside wondering what is going on. The pay is SO SO but great for someone who does not need to make more that 50K a year. They do not pay for gas and require you to drive all over your territory M-F taking care of active accounts, and opening new ones. They try and supplement your millage with a small car allowance. This would be a great company to work for if they would get there pay inline with other territory account manager positions.

This company is a good company to work for. Management is understanding when it comes to family and health issues. When you are on probation for 90 days you cannot miss any work and you have to work whatever hours they ask you to. Once you are finished with your probation it’s a lot more relaxed. When you are on probation keep your head down, follow any directions from management, and make sure you are doing your job. I’ve seen people let go for not taking the trash out during their probation or talking down to a union employee. Once you’re off of probation the atmosphere is much lighter and you can actually breathe easier.

safety work is the priority and the accuracy delivery to customer.
we learnt a lot how to handle the issues in shipping and also the products,
the management is good, they are organized to handle every issued happened every day.
we work as team that cooperated together, communicate between departments involved.
the hardest part of the job if there is no communication and work individually not as a team.
we are happy if every tasks that we do are going well.

Management is out of touch with frontline employees/ overall daily operation activities, which results in a lack of support and resources. There are no opportunities for growth or advancement and current salary is decently below market average. Severely high employee turnover with no onboarding process or standard training. Consistently hiring poor external candidates while overlooking internal talent. 

When I started with Barnes it was a great place to work. Great boss freedom to make my own schedule. But management is reactive not pro active and are contantly making changes. Frequent price increases making it difficult to keep customers. Management is always taking away more benefits from the sales force. Changing salary to a lower base, taking away expenses, such as no more car allowance..it is just a flat reimbursement which doesn't cover half of your expenses with the job. Weekly Friday morning meetings, which were a joke...you were never allowed to say anything.
