EVS Metal

EVS Metal - Texas used to be a great place to work.  Not anymore.  The General Manager is rarely on-site, there are two production managers.  The one who should know what to do when the GM is gone has been neutered so many times he's afraid to make a decision.  The other production manager is an ego maniac and makes to many.  As a result there is no true leadership within the company.  Employees get no support and no true training.  You get 5 minutes training and a good luck.  You either figure it out quickly or they fire you.  Employee benefits are a joke.  2 weeks vacation for the first 10 years then 2 days after that.  Employee pay is still stuck in the early 2000's.  Don't even get me started on the joke of medical coverage.  Yes they offer it because they have to, but it's so expensive it would be cheaper to buy it on the open market.

All in all if you decide to work hear, you can't say you weren't warned.  Good luck.

Disconnect between management and lower level employees led to general confusion and mistakes in day to day operations.  I was often asked to do much beyond what was asked of me in the job description.  In no part of the job description did it say I would be responsible for anything but customer service and general logistics yet I found myself analyzing and deciphering prints for our products.  Attempting to enter this data into our software for manufacture.  I was "asked" to do something completely out of the norm.  Not only because it was not in the job description but because it is something that needs specific training, and cannot be understood solely with common sense.

I worked in the welding department and its a decent enough job if your ok with sitting for 10 hours a day and putting in maybe an 8th inch of weld on a part and there are over 2000 of those parts. Most of the guys o worked with are great guys but the management was lacking in knowledge of the welding department and caused some dangerous environments for the workers. All in all its a good place for guys who don't want to climb around and weld in out of position locations.

Worked there for about year and a half by the end of it I will say it was a tiring and dreadful duration by the end. The plant manager is very two faced and gives false hopes. If you are a shop floor employee don't expect much as far as advancing in the company the more you learn the more you are used with no compensation for it. Little to no regard to safety or overall health of the people working there. Company benefits are horrible compared to other places. Any time you want to take off you get hounded and questioned about it. So anyone looking for a terrible work experience this is the place.

EVS is a great company to work for.  Lots of room for advancement. The company grew every year I was there. I myself started as a driver and worked my way up thru the company to Shipping Manager. There are multiple facilities throughout the country to transfer to if you are looking for a change.  For example: I was asked to work at the Pennsylvania facility for a short while. It was an a great experience.  There are lots of perks too. The owner is an absolutely awesome person. You won't  regret working here. Pay and benefits are very competitive. This is a company that you can plan to retire from.

EVS Metal one of the best sheet metal fabrication facilities in the country. Our local shop has several guys that are willing to teach you from their decades of experience. 

Some of the comments on here are ridiculous. Our current manager is a great guy. He treats everybody that walks through the door fairly and with respect. 

We are the smallest division in our company and rapidly expanding. There is room to grow and advance here.

Come to work everyday and work hard. You will succeed here.

Almost no communication and very low pay.  Workload is not organized well and always behind schedule.  Overtime is only offered near the end of each month when they need to make there shipments but then cut right off at the beginning of the next month.  No effort to learn about employees needs or situations.  Management only cares about profits. Typical small business atmosphere.

The work tasks are easy as long as you read the blueprint. Some tasks have lots of details to work on, but once you get the hang of it it’s easy. There are people who will make you feel like family and help you out with things. They are very helpful and understanding when it’s comes to family emergency’s. Overtime is good.
