Century Mold Co. Inc.

There is a lot to say about working at the plant in Shelbyville. Things are changing around (2020-2021) and everyone on salary is unsure for their jobs. Corporate leadership is mostly inbred; meaning that the experience does not go far outside the company walls. This being said, technological advancements are very far behind. The plant is in decent to good condition, considering they are operating on technology based out of the 1980's. The business model is traditional but simple, they make their profits off of labor and materials. 
Advancements in the company are few and far between. Having had worked there for a few years, it became obvious that there are only a few ways to advance: 1. Nepotism, or 2.become a favorite of the VP of Operations. 
Authority in the plant is not laid out as expected. The plant manager is often micromanaged by his corporate leaders, which trickles down. ie, the Plant manager has to get spending authority from a subordinate department manger.
However, as stated in the title, the best part about working there are the local co-workers. The company is headquartered in Rochester, NY. Most all employees are from the local area and are pleasure to work with. Some might even feel as if they are in a family type work environment and develop good working relationships. Others who are transplanted from NY, are viewed as superior and more capable than their Southern counterparts. 

I have been here two year . Work in the tool room as a mold making apprentice and I love it . We work in tandem with production and other departments and everyone including the management team treat people well . They cook for everyone frequently during summer . When covid hit they gave people the option to work of they were comfortable or go on unemployment. They also raised peoples pay during this period by a substantial amt. Of money . I would recommend this place to anyone . If you have a good attitude and work hard they will teach you and there is room to grow . Surprised to see these bad reviews which must been some type of personal issue as I've been here a few years and only had a couple of bad days in total  they offer a good amount of vacation time plus paid holidays 401k and insurance plans . Great place to work period !!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at Century Mold is not having to go there anymore and deal with the extremely bad management , supervisors and trainers 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Co workers constantly trying to use you to make themselves look good  and make you look as if you can't do your job. Unprofessional trainers. Very cut throat environment 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Management only cares about the production . Showing blatant Favortism is a  company policy. Watch your back someone is plotting to destroy your career 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Adapting to extremely unprofessional coworkers, supervisor and trainers.  Applying online to other companies. Waiting to punch out and get away from the drama

Tooling guys must crawl inside the press and change out heavy inserts. Sometimes you must do this while on a ladder. 
The inserts come out by using a slide hammer. Most of them will come out fairly easily. Sometimes you must change an entire “slide”. It will be about 5 feet tall and weigh a ton or more. You use a crane. Changeovers take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2+ hours. 
Some of the presses are hard to get in/out of. They’re nasty. Dirty. Oily. Greasy. Filthy. 
I was fired because I was heavy and physically unable to do the job. 
Tooling is also responsible for programming CNC machines and doing various other machinist work. If you’re not a capable machinist. You won’t survive here. 
This is a job for a fit 20/30 year old. If you have a bad back or bad joints or aches and pains. DO NOT take this job. 
Management is fair. Tooling Spvsr is a good man. 

The Shelbyville plant was started as a support company solely for Calsonic in the early 90's. Since then,  it has expanded to a very busy support business in automotive injection molding. There is quite a bit of assembly to install various clips, fasteners, etc. to various parts. 
The people are what make the company. This should be what's understood everywhere! Most all of the staff, including managers, are down to earth good folks. The technology is likely my biggest challenge at this place.  Corporate leaders refuse to get  on board with a few things which adds work many times. However
 they are getting a few upgrades but it is very slow. It is much like working in the early 80's.

The company say one big great place to  work that's not real they will fire you for doing your job ,never if the problem is there machine put out bad parts you tell them ,so people That have e fix it just started the machine back instead of fixing the problems, then the company takes your job,and benefits the same day,not good company to work for...No team work  don't even buy a ice machine for there works, any ha e toxic air you have to breath that toxic everyday...and keep the door closed. 

Got hired for a shift but they really put me on sea shift. They said there was a shift to ferential.Except for they told me I got When I got hired. I was told I'd be trained for 4 months minimum.... But was put on my own after three weeks. Got handed a map Of the facility after six months. Wow A map at my first day or first week could have saved us both a lot of time. Eventually, I was asked to share the responsibilities of 4 other depdepartments. Really a big let down. I did enjoy the people in my department. But the company just sucked.

This has to be BY FAR the most unorganized, disrespectful and mismanaged company I have ever worked for. Horrible management with a severely hostile work environment. Mandatory overtime where vacation is needed to be used if you want your weekend off. No sick time, vacation separation. All rolled into one PTO category where they very frequently decline your request. Micromanaging at its finest with no real sense of direction. Machines are outdated and no PM time but expected to run like new. Total hypocrisy and I cannot wait to leave. 

I would come in everyday at 2:15 and get off at 11:15

During the day i would work on the press that i was assigned sometimes it may be a sit down press and other days it would be a stand up

In between i would get three different breaks 2 10min breaks and 1 30min lunch break

Co workers we all pretty cool nothing to really complain about them

During the day nothing was really hard just certain things that would make you tired during the day

To me the most enjoyable part of the day was just working and having something to do during the day

What is the best part of working at the company?
Fast pace so your shift is over before you know it.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of people to cover call offs in my area of work so asking ot of others is not mandatory. So you might be one your own which can be stressful .

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Busy. Machines need to keep running until shut down on Saturday morning.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Do typical rounds to make sure machines running keep running with material they need.
