Honestly, it's a good place to work at for a short period, After a while it gets extremely repetitive. The leadership there is a battle between people who actually do their job versus people who don't know what is going on. The leadership there lack communication towards the assemblers, in order for things to go right you have to be on the floor, talk to the assemblers see what you can do to better make their work efficient and productive. But no they just buy new equipment and expect you to do better, or better yet they don't listen to what you say and make changes because based on the process in theory should help but won't because they won't listen to the people who actually make their money. Yes there are good leaders there but usually the good ones won't stay for long because they know their worth, and the management really doesn't value growth within the company, they just hire anyone. (They know you're replaceable) 
On the bright side, the overall community is 5/5 everyone knows your name after a week, everyone is friendly, good pay with yearly raises. (Just super repetitive) 

Really enjoyed my time at Conax and would say one of my best shop experiences. Company had numerous career paths for individuals who wanted to work and made the most of their opportunities. Enjoyed my position as a 2nd shift machinist with great coworkers. Would still be there today but Covid ultimately ended 2nd shift and everyone was laid off. Leadership within the company was great because they were local and willing to listen to problems. Would easily recommend this company to a friend. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
It’s way to much drama here the people are fake they don’t care about their workers it’s a high turn over rate the only thing good about it is the paid holidays and the breaks we get no good training they expect you to learn everything on your own and get mad at you if you don’t know something 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No communication 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Needs more diversity and understanding 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful

There is a lack of communication throughout the facility. Sales is expected to do too much and cover for other departments.  A number of long time employees either retired or will soon do so and the company has not done a good job of hiring replacements and assuring that they were happy and going to stay long term. They seemed to think an occasional free lunch or ice cream will retain employees. 

It was a good place to learn both manual and CNC Machining.  As well as other skills.  It was pretty laid back with all the OT you wanted.  Pay and benefits were good.  They were getting new management, younger more "ambitious" types.  As it goes in that situation the new management had to make things better, or they thought.  It became not as relaxed.  Still not a bad place to work.

When it’s time for you to advance to the next level of your career, that advancement comes with more pay. Instead of you easily advancing upward they fight you for what you deserve, and can’t even give a good reason as to why they won’t promote someone. 

Very stressful. Plant operations are a disaster. Management hides in meetings. Absolutely no opportunity for advancement. Culture is toxic. This company simply does not care about it's workers or customers.

They take care of you and make sure that you're able to enjoy life while working and making money. I have met a lot of great people while working for this company and have learned a lot about the industry.

I watched a nearly 70% turnover rate for employees my first year. I realized the first week why so many good people left. Conax has some really poor managers with cartoonishly- poor ability. 

Repetitive. Not much room for advancement. Union politics as well. I did the same 2 or 2 things everyday 5 days a week 40 hours a week. Sometimes mandatory overtime. Layoffs are a possibility
