What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay was decent and they had fun company events.  I was a temp and I wasn't there very long, but the employees were all very nice and helpful if assistance was needed. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
As stated, I was a temp and I didn't have very long to learn the role I was filling in for.  However, the girl who trained me did a good job, and I learned what I needed to do for the short time I would be there.  I went in knowing this would not transition into permanent employment, so there were things that sometimes said that could have been taken as "rude" but I chose to overlook them since I wasn't staying. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is an industrial setting, so the environment is casual as is the culture, yet professional at the same time.  Dress was business casual, no open toed shoes since there were times one was expected to be on the Foundry floor. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My role was receptionist so I was the "first face" of the company.  I greeted guests and gave visitor badges, handled voicemails and daily paperwork, among other things.  Time passed very quickly.  This was all pre-pandemic so things were different then.

A typical day was fast passed, demanding schedule with short lead times.  
Over the 12 years at Carley, I improved my supervision and management skill, my ability to use the Microsoft Office Suite, Statistical calculation abilities.  Honed my Continuous improvement tools and team development.  
The Management at Carley is knowledgeable, demanding, competitive and results oriented.  
The Culture at Carley is team oriented, but competitive.  This is a recent change from a more family culture.  
The most demanding part of the job was to keep up with expectations in an extremely busy, work load is typically far over the capability of a forty hour work week. fast passed environment. 
The most enjoyable aspect of the job was the variety and challenging situations..

The pay was consistent with plenty of hours to work.  We were trained in our jobs and went through weekly meetings going over safety procedures, efficiency, issues with tasks, and schedules.  I learned to keep track of and record daily production, also effectively following detailed process's so the molds would come out correctly.  A challenging aspect was the heat of the job with hot temperatures coming from the laempe machines and aluminum ovens; temperatures would often be above 100 degrees during the summer season.  I enjoyed the dependability of each week's check and the people who work there.  Most people have a professional attitude and show up to work.

The management here is abysmal. They care nothing for the floor workers. You are nothing more than a number in a book. If you work here, you will only be respected out of the bare minimum saving face if that.

HR are not that much better as they exist to cover for the poor management. They are unknowledgeable on the individual needs and rely heavily on 3rd party support.

The company will speak on "good health" but you will not be afforded any days off to even try what they are promoting. Simply another checkbox for them. You will earn less than a day off a month with their current PTO/UTO system. There is no work life balance and they do not care.

I wasted 12 years of my life working for a company that considers you a number, and not a name. Management is more concerned about themselves, than about the  people who really make the money for them. Supervision is filled with unqualified people, certified and still continual serial harassers. If you were to walk around and ask workers how they feel about the company, there would not be one positive thing said. Issues with equipment, job or your health will be avoided by management as well. If you really want to work here, ask the workers, not the management about what its really like there.

No room for advancement most of the time people do not pick up their own Slack and Lacks communication. Also they play a lot of favoritism and a lot of the employees use foul language and are not very respectful two new on Commerce and not even General workers that have been around I've basically had to train myself they do not do a good job of teaching you at all they just throw you in there and let you figure it out on your own which causes a lot of stress and lack of confidence to perform your duties at work

I would get to work and process any work orders that were on my desk as well as answering the phones. I learned a little bit about what foundry's do and some interesting programs such as QA Display and M1. Management was easy going and co-workers were friendly. The hardest part of the job was when it was quiet. The most enjoyable part of this job was when I would get to learn something new. I would definitely work here again.

I always feel that the wages are fair here. The only drawback is the cost of being part of the union. I have no issues with being a member of the union, but it seems that they protect the lazy.  The rules vary from person to person, so they are not consistent. If you are looking for a stable job, work here. But don't expect to advance unless you have the right last name. I better get back to work. Good luck. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Not just a number. Family owned. Good benefits. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some of the union stewards that get in the way of getting work done.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very well lit, clean and everyone is willing to jump in and help out.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The time goes by real fast because your always busy.
