People are generally friendly. HR Department is non existent so if need help with insurance or payroll you will need to call headquarters in Warsaw which is a process in itself.  Pay will vary with the knowledge you bring. Generally good at first than raises will stop as your there awhile. 3 PTO days a year. No bonus or incentive pay to motivate workers. Very dirty but expected working with Cast iron. 

I have spent nine years at this job, and have always found a way to make the job fun.  Without a little fun the job would suck, and would not be worth doing.  I repair patterns, and do job changes for the mold lines, and change coresetters.  I repair core boxes as needed, and maintain core box machines if needed.  Most of management is clueless because they do not communicate with each other or with employees.

A typical day at work consists of clocking in, making sure everything is stocked up and clean, and making sure all policies and laws are being followed.

I learned a lot about how to talk to people and handle sticky situations

Management is pretty easy going as long as you're doing your job right

The hardest part of the job is being the bad guy to some people

The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to work there in the first place

I loved working there but they weren't very safe had a hard time getting proper safety equipment and burned my foot pretty bad the work was dirty but I didn't mind it I gained a lot of experience in The foundry which got me a better job in the long run, but gained a lot of experience driving front loaders and bobcats which I love to do gain experience in casting in melting steel to make iron I drove iron carrier in Port iron and all the ovens to supply the iron pores

Most Difficult Part of Job:  Understanding the Work Place Culture.

Most Enjoyable Part of Job:  Dealing with many of the employees.

Very Lean Management Work Force:  Jobs require responsibilities beyond normal job descriptions.

Total dread

work hours were great 6 to 2 learned how to work with a different variety of people management got along well with the employees coworkers were great because I worked there for thirty two years

A typical day consist of getting work assignments for that day. Then checking to see if all required parts are available to complete the job. Provided the parts are there then proceed to do job.At the end of the day all work done gets recorded, and work orders turned in.

Very hot and very dirty. Air quality very poor. Working conditions not for the weak. Molten iron and high voltages. Learned to be very cautious and mindful of my surroundings at all times. Good people that work very hard for what they earn.
