Dover Corporation

 Dover/ Rego/ OPW Corporation in Claremont North Carolina lacks in the "Floor Management department" Most If not All your floor or Shift Managers have no formal Education ( Collage of any kind) as in a Bachelor of  Business Management and or leadership Degree or Certifications. This also applies to your " leads and or Trainers" below the Shift managers they have No Formal Education ( Collage of any kind) as in an Associates Degree in Business and or Leadership Degree or Certification of any kind as well. Yet both upper Floor Managers and lower leads  are in charge of regular workers on the floor most of the time with higher educations . Most of the people in management positions have been promoted and or put in place based on IF they like you , You are family related or have been there a long time. This makes for a very Unorganized, Uneducated workplace managed by Power hungry Managers and a very Unstable working environment no one really wants to work for except for the money and hours. A non Educated Leadership is this companies downfall. They Can do much better by Employing Floor Managers and leads with Formal Education and Proper skills with Degrees that really know what they are doing. HR should do a better job of looking for more qualified Management candidates with Formal Collage Education and remove as well as replace the Unqualified and Uneducated ones they have. 

I was an Assembly Worker for 10 months and at first I really enjoyed my job and my pay, but soon we started to get more mangers and higher-ups in my assembly line and I was moved around continuously until I ended up in the last station which is technically hospital (the area where they send cases missing a part or has wrong part) and the managers will just force you to do other peoples work and expect you to kill yourself for $16 an hour there’s no competitive wages, trash management that doesn’t know how to run an assembly line all they do is call other managers or personal and point fingers instead of actually finding a proper solution, if you’re going to work here do yourself a favor and don’t work too hard or learn too much because they’ll use you or even make you work different jobs at once if necessary, they won’t ever appreciate your hard work and fire you in a heartbeat if you speak your mind or have a complaint. 

Dover isa  very good performing company in my opinion. They consistently deliver results to the Shareholders and pay healthy bonuses and good compensation to the employees  for good results. What's more, it's a place where  you can get promoted based on  merit.  As far as stability goes I'll say this:   Dover's portfolio of companies are very diverse so, we aren't subject to the huge ups and downs of more cyclical industries like Auto, or Auto , or  Computer hi-Tech.   We are in critical markets and enjoy a leading position in these markers.  Also,  Dover manages their business through sound financial  and continuous improvement practices .   They don't over- hire and then wildy lay people off to weather a slight economic storm , in the markets. I have enjoyed my time here.

What is the best part of working at the company?

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Both are horrible. Bosses are disconnected from the workforce and only looking for their next move up

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Looking over your shoulder to see who is going to second guess your decisions even though they know nothing about your job

The executive management team is a disaster, it is a manufacturing company with an ex-salesman for a president. He simply has no frame of reference or understanding for how a manufacturing company work or how important a good culture is. There are frequent lay offs and occasional furloughs. Long term employees despise new employees. The culture is broken, the company has changed ownership at least 5 times in 20 years including Halliburton, General Electric, and Dresser because they could not fix the broken culture.

You clock in. If your shift starts at 6:00 am, you are expected to be at your machine whit it turned on at 6:00 am. You learn what you try to learn (meaning) You must take initiative. I work for Bearings plus (a company under Dover) Their supervisors and managers are good at putting you in positions to learn. The workers are good people.Overall the workplace atmosphere is pretty good. Which is the most enjoyable part of the job. Hardest part is dealing with a plant manager who doesn't know anything about the shop and yet won't listen to any input from shop staff..

be extremely careful with management. they're not their to make a product. they're there to dress nice talk nice, and fire people, you'll hear "were dover" like some cult chant.

plant/shop is spotless-little work actually gets done, 

high turnover-you'll notice you are constantly watched-one bad move you are out,
how exactly these people make a profit is beyond me. don't bother with this place if you plan to stay at a job for any length of time.

All pros, easy, simple, best pay
 Cons:
Not easy to find a way to apply
Tests are math based and with limited time
Complete all the easy answers as quickly as possible then go back to try to answer the hard questions which carry more value points
Study your basic math, trig and geometry
Study difficult shape diagram tests, i.g. which fish looks different?  
Study how to read a tape measure
Study converting decimals and fractions

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Company pick nick and the Holiday.dinner 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
