Your typical day consisted of a lot of hectic last minute decisions which for shipping department would have plenty of overtime. I was able to learn and develop a vast of work experience in fork truck driving, press operator, spot-welding, tumbling, box & pack and wash line.  Which this experience led me to be a Shipping & Receiving supervisor for 7 years and was able to establish & implement several changes that helped reduce shipping errors & keep inventory at reasonable levels for customer & management demands.  I felt the overall demand  and lack of upper management treatment of employee's is its major downfall after new management took over the company. It was a company at one time enjoyed & prided itself to giving back to the employee's and become a company that cares less about employee's but more about making money.

I pulled orders, scheduled trucks, created invoices and bills of lading, loaded and unloaded trucks. I learned how to drive a forklift and everything I know about shipping and receiving at Dowding Industries. I worked with a great team. I would have to say the hardest part about that job wasn't really the job it was the 45 minute drive to get there, I loved the job. The most enjoyable part was how fast paced it was, I like to stay busy and work good under pressure.

I love going to work every day. I am not micro-managed, there are lots of ways that I can contribute and my boss treats me with respect. The company has done a lot over the last several years to show that they are employee-focused, and it shows. While every company has a bottom line, it is evident that Dowding values its people over making parts. Awesome place to work!

Been here almost a year and on my way out already. The original owner passed away and this place went downhill within a few months. Refuses to keep up with inflation rates via hourly pay.

Forced everyone to work every other weekend and now starting to force 10hr shifts on people.

Great place to be if you just wanna work your body & life away.

A typical day is fast paced.
Learned how to do everything in shop by floating around.
Management was very great and helpful.
Co-workers were very helpful with work related issues.
The hardest part of the job was going home after shift was over.
The most enjoyable part of the job was being trusted with versatility.

Nepotism at its finest. As long as your a family member or friend of management you got it made. Will promote unqualified people, management lacks in communication on off shifts, expected to run multiple machines and robots, eliminating people for robots. 

Some confusion as production deadlines approached but an all hands on deck performance to meet them. Good team work approach overall. However there was a designed disconnect between upper management and production employees

Tough place to work. Too many issues between supervisors of each shift. Enjoyed the results of the quality of my work. Fellow employees were very easy to get along with.
