DELTA STAR

A typical work day consisted of power up machine, set parameters, load program, load material, cut, remove parts, & repeat. I had memorized all parameters within my first year of operation. I was also the only employee who could be pulled to any other machine and operate it flawlessly. Such machines include but were not limited to- HAAS MINI MILLS, manual lathes, manual mills, drill press, Brake press, saw, and core stacking tables.

I learned the value of being organized and that some things are better left the way they are. I was voted group leader by my co-workers and learned leadership values of being a decision maker with priority and production goals in mind.

The hardest part of working here was a few others who outranked me and didn't like my ideas of improvement simply because it meant they would have to get out of a chair sooner. Another problem I had was having to inspect others parts and remake them before they made it to assembly. (My nac for high quality standards, others didn't want to bother and would pass on near defective parts). If the parts weren't caught by the assemblers it caused a ripple effect backing up all production.

The best part were my direct co-workers whom followed my department. They were always nice and we helped each other throughout the day. I didn't mind teaching and learning from others as the day rolled on.

I love what I do there and the employees on my team is a great bunch to work with. I have worked my way to a level 4 and the supervisor on my shift wants me to take the next level. Recommends me over the rest on the team. Most enjoyable part of my job is my main supervisor. He is very understanding and sees your potential. 
There is no hardest part to my job. I just go in and get it done. It feeds and supports my family.

 
We have some supervisor managers that seems like they are out to get the employees no matter what they do. Little simple mistakes that are caught on your shift and never leaves the department; they want to write you up. If we come in behind someone and find a mistake from the last shift but can be fixed in two minutes. It is said write the person up. Some of the managers feel like if they aren't pushing the pen they are not doing their job. It is killing the moral and slowing down production.

They build industrial transformers for substations from the ground up. Very demanding work. Very physical. Mostly younger guys there. You will love it if you are the meticulous mechanical type. Very juvenile acting crew though. Lots of sports, and party talk, and playing around. Plenty of non mandatory overtime if you want it. Union place if you want to join. Not mandatory. Great benefits. Best I ever had. Good pay. Not the safest place I have ever worked. They talk safety, but it's not practiced on the floor. Several accidents while I was there. Lots of high up climbing, and heavy lifting. Don't have the tools to do the job most of the time. Always improvising. VERY hot in there.

The company has a positive culture where you're encouraged to perform and share ideas. However, being an employee-owned organization, it lacks standardized processes, often resulting in confusion and inefficiency. Leadership roles tend to change frequently, leaving little time for teams to settle or build momentum—this constant shift creates a sense of instability and trust issues across the organization.

Additionally, the absence of strong transformational leadership and the limited openness to diverse perspectives at the top prevents the company from fully leveraging current market opportunities. Meanwhile, competitors are scaling efficiently, increasing profits, and rewarding their employees accordingly.

I am responsible for scheduling the Team to ensure production expectations are met. I have learned how to manage people through leading by example and by ensuring that certain character traits are promoted. These are Respect, Safety, and Productivity. I interact with each employee every day to maintain a positive work environment My work style could be classified as 'Firm but Fair". The hardest part of the position is to motivate employees that don't want to be motivated. The most enjoyable part is the satisfaction of seeing an employee reach his or her potential

I've worked here for almost 8 years now and for the past three years the company is going downhill shipping and receiving is the worst Department to work the supervisor has no balls and will not stand up for his employees. It's very hard to move up in pay,and the people who deserve the pay cannot get what they deserve because of lazy people who are just sitting around doing nothing. Management sucks they never come out of their office to actually see what's going on all they care about is how clean the plant is, and what new car or truck they can buy next

I enjoyed my job at delta star. The management was very poor maintained. When it was time for a raise it never happened. 
If you didn't like the facts about not getting a raise. You were only given one option. Take no for an answer. And if this wasent accepted then the only other optician was to quut your job. Reguless of the years that I had put in the company. Spending sometimes 70 hours a week helping the company get the transformer out the door before the deadline. No matrer the scarface's I made it wasn't good enough for a raise. This is why I say it was poor maintained management. Appreciate your job.And appreciate your workers.

A typical day at work is consist of getting to my work area look around to see what has been done and what needs to be done communicate with previous shift to see if any problems accured or if there is anything that might affect me on my shift communicate with my supervisor to see whats priorty make sure my co worker understand whats going on start my shift. The hardest part of my day would be waiting on a job release because your trying to find work to do to stay busy but the most enjoyable part is seeing the finished product.

I enjoyed my job at Delta Star. My supervisor on the other hand, didn't have the disposition for his position. He continuosly belittles his employees. And his temper would make him throw items at employees as well as verbally abuse them. And upper management refused to discipline him. As far as the job goes. You are well compensated for your work. And there is a abundance of over time available. I would strongly consider returning there under different supervision.

One of the most stressful places I've ever worked.money was decent but management is spiteful and only look out for the good ol boys club. Very toxic place to work and has a vapor phase unit that employees are subjected to breathing of the harmful vapors. Quiet a few employees have passed away from cancer . People have shown their private parts and and became supervisors. There really needs to be an investigation into the practices of this place. Stay awaysafworki.there which was probably caused by
