Dextech used to be great, well maybe not great, but atleast bearable. Now we all basically joke that it can't get any worse, yet management constantly finds a way to make it worse. Most of us are pretty confident that if there is a way to mess something up most of management will find a way, that being said.. There are a few good managers at best, but most are just puppets to the game. Company is always "broke" at negotiations, but blows money on things that will never been used like a 10k "banding cutter" that sits unused hidden away collecting dust.  They like to say we make more money than other shops that do our jobs, but they're comparing it to jobs that are vaguely simular and very different.  The main answer to anything that's brought up is "if you don't like it find a new job". They'd rather be stubborn and wrong than do something to improve things, just bc it wasn't their idea.  We've lost more employees in the last 2 years than the previous 8 combined, if you're considering coming here know you'll be on afternoons for many many years.  Also if you're thinking about coming here don't.  Everything is a game here and about control, not about the "continuous improvement" that always used to be preached 

I loved working at Dextech and I gained alot of macgine set up experience. They were very fair with pay and time off if you became disabled. The biggest problem I encountered was a new worker came in and started shaking my tool box and messing my tools up and telling management I wasn't doing my job properly. I got fed up with my personal items being tampered with so I resigned.after

Overtime as much as you want. 
Good pay, three years to reach top out pay. 
Great medical insurance.
Will be on second shift forever. 
Sometimes on mando 10 hour shifts Monday- Friday and can mando 2 Saturdays a month if they want. Otherwise 2pm to 10pm Second shift or you can apply for heat treat and work 12 hour shifts 7pm to 7am 4 days a week. And have 4 days off. 

Used to be a great place to work. Management does not manage, and input from employees is disregarded.  Pay used to be the highest in the industry, but had fallen behind substantially, as plenty of other shops pay more, with a small fraction of the work load. You are constantly asked to do more, for no additional compensation, and almost no appreciation whatsoever.  

It's a great place to work the pay is awesome the people that work there are nice helpful and understanding. The reviews saying they were fired for no reason is a lie they either didn't work lazy or were late all the time or calling in. Great opportunity for advancement career opportunities.

avoid
run from this place
There is not much to gain by working here
Loud dirty typical factory
No one cares 
Management does not care or manage 
Place is in constant termoil and stress
you are lied to in the interview
they suck you in then make you work all the time
good luck getting real communication

Not sure who the "header operator" above is, but they must not have worked here recently.

NO opportunity for advancement exists. There is also NO opportunity to be trained in any skilled trades.

Working here earns a good paycheck, and nothing more. If you can accept that you are and always will be a peon, then Dextech Is for you.

Wasn't bad at 1st  management was actually great if you show your a good worker you can be moved up but the old timers are set int their ways dont wanna train unless your related and think they can talk to you however they want HR allows them to do whatever they want 

Language barrier can pose challenges (Japanese). Company is organized by UAW. However workable, team oriented. 
The company was expanding at the time. A very clean work environment.

Disrespectful upper management with no follow through. No advancement opportunities. Very micro managed but also no accountability. No pto first year. No paid holidays for six months. No concern for your family. Pay is good once you hit top out. Everything else is terrible.
