If you like having to constantly stroke someone’s ego, then this is the place for you.  If you are an educated, competent professional capable of doing the job you are considering, you will be penalized for being good at your job because your manager is insecure.  The open office concept is a total joke - it’s simply a way for managers to keep an eye on you.  It’s a goldfish bowl with everybody in the office and plant traipsing through, talking loudly over the workspaces so you can’t concentrate.  Not only is it rude, but it’s degrading.  The products at one point were great but lack of oversight in purchasing led to substandard resin being purchased and the carts made from the resin were weak and substandard.  Management was so busy spending a fortune on the stupid open office concept desks that they weren’t running this business correctly.  They’d rather control their employees.

If I could rate less than 1 star, I would give -5 star review. This is the worst place I have EVER worked. I would not refer my worst enemy to work here. No organization, no teamwork, no pride, no respect, and no quality. This company does not respect or value its employees. People often work 2-3 weeks straignt with no days off. Turn over rate is VERY VERY high. There is very little pride and quality put into the product. Customers often complain about the quality of the product. No one looks out for each other...it's every person for themselves. THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM THROWING YOU UNDER THE BUS. the ONLY thing this company cares about is its revenue. Every thing else including holidays, people, rules, and laws are expendable in order to increase revenue. I was often given near impossible and/or unethical tasks. On the bright side, if you enjoy being overworked and underpaid, then this is the right place for you.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Weekly pay other than that there are no safety stamdards or actual welding standards applied The company is only concerned with profit and welders are expendable to them regardless of experiance

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Maintaining a positive work enviroment and safe working area 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work enviroment is very tight and crowded into insufficient space quality work is not a concern neither is proper ppe for a very dirty shop and very poir Air quality

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Struggle to maintain a quota that has no exceptions for unskilled welders or other workers  equioment isold and very poorly maintained

Some of the managers are cool, some of them like to hold a magnifying glass to every little thing you do and pull strings all day. Hot/Cold work environment (both temperature and expectation wise). Very poor ventilation (wear a respirator!). The welders I work with are all cool, we're all pretty tight knit as we're shoulder to shoulder with one another for 50+ hours a week. Outside of that, the culture is garbage...the only quality standard is "no holes". If you take pride in your work as a welder/fabricator, look elsewhere. 

Pay progression is based solely on company policies and has absolutely nothing to do with merit it would seem. Starting pay is competitive if you have absolutely no experience working, but soon becomes way too low for the amount of work and damage you do to your body. 



This place will chew you up and then spit you out. The corporation and those that run wastequip care for no one but themselves and promise you everything, giving nothing. They come in to the shop yearly talking about raises and equipment upgrades and then they leave, go home and forget everything. And as for raises and bonuses ya sure they promise those they'll review it and come up with a good number bc they know you deserve more and then the results are nothing they do nothing. Lets just say i know of someone who gave 12 years to this place and they booted him told him to go and changed the locks right after he left after being told to do so and when unemployment was asked for they said he abandoned his job. Trust not one of them

Wastequip sets employees up for failure. The leadership is not held accountable for the job they should be doing. Terrible working environment as far as office, or production goes. Training is far from adequate and expectations are far from achievable. The pay and the hours for my roll were ok to start but the advancement and growth opportunities are not practiced with this company. As poorly managed as this company is, and with the complete lack of leadership (and leadership accountability), I do not recommend anyone working for Wastequip. Wastequip should take a hint from its experiences and ask themselves why they struggle to find and keep employees. 

This company has its place for new welders with no experience.  However, there is no room to advance.   Management has no communication with their employees.   They take the smallest of things and blow them outta proportions.   The racism and preferential treatment for certain groups is obvious.  Supervisor will stand and stare at employees while working.  The money isn't worth the amount of work.  Mandatory OT is terrible.  The requirements to be promoted to welder 2 are at company will so you could be there years without getting promoted.  Good for beginners with no experience but if you're an experienced welder STAY AWAY.  

56 hour work week! "Voluntary" Saturdays are more often than not "mandatory." There is a lot of back and forth within management, and employees are often lost in the shuffle. Training and support is horrendous, there is none. Zero company culture, unless you consider a free lunch once a quarter a perk? Facility itself is toxic, not enough parking, breakrooms and bathrooms are subpar, most employees eat lunch in their cars. A lot of turnover. A lot. At all levels.

Dollar comes first, NOT safety.  sometimes wait until accident happens or close call then spend the money.  they spend a lot of money on corporate traveling all over country. should give each plant the responsibilities and use the wasted money to pay employees better. they spend a lot of money on lunches for people  in safety meeting and lead man meeting. they do not care about you as a person, a lot of back stabbing in the whole company. they do not plan the work well at all. everyday they make changes and blame others

dead end job. pay is decent, but not remotely worth the time working here. you learn everything but go nowhere except where the lead points his finger, which he does a lot because he does next to nothing, shifts blame for issues on everyone around him even though it's often just as much his fault. gets in your face in a threatening manner of you don't just sit back and take it. can't talk to the manager because it's like talking to a brick wall.

how is it that a multi million dollar corporation can't seem to maintain their equipment?
