D&N BENDING

If you are thinking about working in metal finishing, don't. It's nonstop the second you clock in. You have to sand down 40 window frames that pop off the frame holders often, and you have to get all 40 done in an hour. It's not as easy as it sounds if you are sanding 40 parts per hour for 9+ hours with muscle fatigue. After my first day of sanding, I could barely move my arms when I was laying down and after two weeks, I was destroyed. I experienced less pain while working out for the first time in months! The work-life balance was also problematic for me. If you are currently going to school, don't work here. The schedule is from 6 in the morning to 3:30 in the afternoon from Monday to Friday. When I left this place, I felt like weights have been lifted off my arms and shoulders. Final words, find someplace else that has less physically demanding standards.

This place is terrible, they reel you in with $18 an hour on the application then only give you $17 once hired. The raises and holiday bonuses are a joke, and DONT even think about calling off. They do not care about what you’re going thru outside of work and will not work with you at all. Managers in building 2 are decent but don’t have any actual leadership qualities. Whole company is uncoordinated and upper management like HR is terrible, just read the rest of the reviews and you’ll understand. Place is dirty all the time machines constantly leak oil and don’t work properly. They’ll have you doing 2 jobs at once and act funny when you don’t meet the daily production standards. 1 year before you get a single vacation day, you get personal days after 90 days but you don’t get paid for them. I could go on and on. Only upside is free healthcare after 90 days if they don’t get rid of you before that.

I've been working for D&N Bending for a couple months now and I love the company. The on boarding process is simple and management is great. Everyone I have met is so welcoming and they are willing to help you succeed in your role. Employees can definitely climb the ladder here if they really want too. I was hired for one department but now only after a few months, I am learning other departments and expanding my knowledge. Not only that but the benefits are great. The company covers medical completely! Other benefits such as dental and vision are extremely affordable. Overall I am satisfied with my experience at D&N Bending so far. I love that I have overtime, PTO, weekends off for the most part, and paid holidays. If you are in need of a job, D&N Bending is a great place to apply. 

No time off for holidays, they expect you to act like robots 10_13 hrs a day, no communication between any line of management. They do not care about family or the time you have with them. Very little comcern with human well being. Most management has let their power go to their head, they say and do as they please. If your 19 and have no friends, family, hobbies, or any other interests. This job is perfect for you. Otherwise just walk away much better and respectable jobs out there.

The last week I worked there my manager told me how well I was doing and how promising advancement could be then Monday rolls around and they cut everyone’s overtime. The next day myself and several others were fired. They hired a bunch of new people in two weeks prior as well. There wasn’t any warning that we would be losing our jobs and come to find out from other employees, this is quite normal for them. They hire in a bunch of people when they have a big job with no intentions of keeping them, and fire them when the job is done.

I have worked in this place since January 18, 2016, I have achieved most of the different operations of my area of metal finishing on the part. I have been working on since hiring in date. I have been told I was to old to be a leader, but have been by past because of the upper manager who is 22 years old no college and not much experience and also lives in the one owners pocket.

This place has very poor management. You will never see a management position if you are over the age of 30. They have practically kids running these shops and they own over 6 buildings. They pay you $10 an hour to run 2 CNC machines and make you shovel snow for the same rate in 0° weather whether you came prepared to shovel or not. I simply told them to match my second job's pay on removing the snow and salting but they refused to even do that.

Everyone that works there are great people. They really try to keep a positive environment. You can advance with the company through on the job training or the owners offer Tuition Reimbursement for off site programs. The paid Medical Benefits is also huge on top of the Bonuses.

I enjoyed the work (man and his machines) as well as the men that i worked with. We worked with many different types of machines and materials. We had a machine shop to work with and many specialties machines. We built the first parts of the cars of the future. (6-8 years ahead).
I would help my leadman to setup a job and then teach some laborers to run the job. I would keep things going until the leadman needed my assistance.

The workes are nice. But poor management. They will use you and when they don’t need you anymore they will tell you “we don’t have work” just to lay you off. If you want a raise probably will be like $.25 cents. The bosses and line leaders act like they own a place. There was a man that was racist towards some workers, I went and told the office about it. What they did ??? They didn’t even suspended him! And what they did to me ?? Put me in another building and laid me off 3 months after the accident!
