Any job at Cerro Wire is fairly easy if you don't mind a little sweat and grease. It is actually a pretty fun job where we get to cut up a little and even relax a little if everything is running smoothly. Pay is mediocre to todays standards, and most people getting paid more do far less than a typical employee. Management literally never knows what is going on, there is always rumors going about the plant because everyone is confused about things happening in the future. It is difficult to get a straight answer from anyone. Job security is lack luster as they periodically change our schedules every few years, and are always combining and merging different parts of the plant to save money. And for a plant that Nets millions of dollars a day, they sure don't enjoy sharing that with the employees that run the place. They would rather make unnecessary "Improvements" to lines  that often make our jobs more difficult, than give us bonuses for meeting production goals. Whether you out perform everyday and have a great attitude, or sit in the bathroom on your phone all day, you make the same amount as other individuals on those machines. Overall I think the work-friendship atmosphere is great there, I care greatly for several individuals there, but management is awful, and structurally that place has no idea what they are doing. They never listen to employees on the ground floor that actually know what is going on. And never ever believe a promise that place makes unless it is written in a legal document, because I guarantee they will not hold up to their "promises" unless legally required.

theres roughly 4 lines there that no one likes or stays employed there if there on them and i was on the worst one by far. apart of working in extreme heats around 120 to 130 degrees with little ventilation being on the line 12 a shift breaks you down then you add 6 to 7 days a week to it then really whats to be expected beyond that. when there was no work on my line i was not allow to take advantage of the slow period  to go home for recuperation and the main reasons we were out of work a lot of the time  is because them plant manager allowed his lead to go home early without supplying the line with the product to run lines. the place is a fatality in the making worn out equipment, having to share power tools with other lines as well as tooling for the extrusion dies.well i worked there 3 months and got x-ed out because on my 92 day i had called out of work and exceeded the 3 point attendance in the first 90 day because of having to work 65-72 hrs a week for 6 to 8 weeks straight, and to add to it we had discused the fact that i was leaving a job because of the say issues of excessive over time. in short the lied.

Corporate, facility, and operations leadership teams are not in alignment concerning short and long-term initiatives. Areas of focus change daily, and are assigned with unrealistic expectations and timelines. Clearly defined project owners and execution teams are never defined resulting in disjointed, and often overlapping project execution. The leadership style of the company is one of blatant arrogance, driven primarily from C-suite and directorate level leadership who rely heavily, and solely upon their years of experience to mandate paths forward. These are often met with both short and long-term failure as they are unrealistic and/or unsustainable. It is very much a, "Do as I say" environment which significantly impedes growth and collaboration. This has resulted in a highly toxic work culture with significant turnover. Specific to engineering activities, the company pay is far below the compensation level of comparable roles in and around the immediate area. The work-life balance is poor due to the ever changing priorities of leadership.

Working at Cerrowire has been a solid experience. The company provides a stable work environment with consistent hours and competitive pay. Safety is a clear priority, and the facilities are well-maintained and organized. Training is thorough, and new employees are given the tools they need to succeed. Management is approachable and responsive to concerns, although communication could be improved at times. The team culture is strong—coworkers are generally supportive and willing to lend a hand. Opportunities for advancement exist, especially for those who show initiative and reliability. Benefits are decent, including health insurance and a 401(k), and there are occasional employee appreciation events that help boost morale. While the work can be physically demanding, especially in production roles, it’s rewarding to see the impact of your efforts in a hands-on industry. Overall, Cerrowire is a good place for those seeking steady employment in a manufacturing environment.

Honestly when I first became employed at cerrowire I enjoyed it, but as I was there I noticed exactly how unorganized this company is to the core. FIRST AND FOREMOST YOU DO NOT GET BREAKS WHILE YOU ARE WORKING YOUR 12 HOUR SHIFT. they "allow" you time to step away from your line to grab a drink or go to the break room to get your food, but they expect you to be on your line all 12 hours of your shift. Also they took all stools or chairs away because "if you have time to sit you have time to find something to keep busy. Management is an absolute joke. The attendance policy is a joke. Covid precautions are a joke here. If you arent a die hard conservative you will not mesh with any of the crew. This company did not have any standards for training or any set way to move up, if you got effective on your line they would move you to a different line so they could change your schedule on you with short notice. BEWARE DO NOT WORK FOR THIS SHADY COMPANY.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is good. 
Family oriented

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very physical hard work. And it has to be done with the machine timing, not yours. 
Lots of stress if you're the assigned operator.  Everything is your responsibility.  If you are not an operator, very low stress.  With the  same pay as the operator

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A few 10% Stressed out people blaming others for their problems.  And another 10% behind a wall of delegation that can't figure out why people keep leaving.  Everybody else is trying not to get caught in between. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Show up 10 minutes early.  Get the rundown and the priorities. Crossing your fingers, the machine is kind to you most of the day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Paid lunches were the best part of working at Cerro wire..

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Upper management doesn't know what they are doing, instead of driving success, they are driving award all of the good workers. And the company straight in the ground..

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Every shift is against one another, always pointing fingers at the off shifts. Upper management is hands off and are scared to get dirty. They know absolutely nothing about what it takes to run a factory.. it's sad who they have as managers...

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typically day is unorganized, unprofessional and nothing is even close to being on tract.. it's truly sad because this was once a good company to work for...

I enjoy work but don’t enjoy working 70+ hours a week. The pay is good but the management isn’t. We have a meeting once a year where we talk about problems in the company and how to fix them but they never get fixed. Continuous problems with machines and not enough maintenance personnel to fix them in a timely manner. They say you can move up in the company but they really only mean that if they like you, if not they will keep making excuses. They would rather hire someone off the street with no experience than move someone they don’t like up in the company. You end up doing other people’s jobs because they just decide they don’t want to do it. Then management just goes with it and if you don’t do it then they write you up.

Been employed for just over 20 years with company so that tells you something about them.  They have gotten really lean  in manufacturing and you will work a lot of overtime, plus you will need to be very diverse, learning other machinery and procedures, since you will be doing different jobs as needed.  They are a very safety conscious company and have gotten several awards for safety.  You will work hard but you will be paid good for it. The management is very friendly and will try to help as much as they can when you have a problem.

Cerrowire is an awesome place to work for. Great work/life balance, awesome benefits and pay especially for the area. They do a really good job in making you feel like you belong. Don't get me wrong, there are some downsides, but every job has those. The only thing id change is certain floor leadership. Aside from that, I loved everything about this place. Most factories struggle with communication,  but they're really good about it. They post stuff all over the plant, text their employees and also have monthly "townhall" meetings that tell you everything happening with the company and events coming up. By far the best place i have ever worked.
