Eastern Metal Supply

This is by far the worst management I have ever seen in my life in the IT field. Was given 0 training at all for any of the in house programs they have at EMS. Was given 0 training at all in anything they wanted me to do. IT you either know how to fix the problem or don't. Fixed all the computer issues I was given hardware wise. Met a whole bunch of people through out the 3 days. Was told to ask questions if I had some which I did. The employees there (not all) are 2 faced and would back stab you at first chance. Was told not to answers phones because I was in training. Didn't get any training was let go after 3 days because the process wasn't moving fast enough. I got 0 training on anything, the worst management I have ever seen in my life. I can understand why stuff is not going right in the company IT wise because the management is horrible. I don't recommend this company at all waste of time and effort. Look elsewhere WAY BETTER companies out there.

This could be a decent place to work. The pay rate is acceptable, the benefits are good, and the job is simple. However, this company seems to have a very hard time keeping good employees. The turnover rate is HORRIBLE, the very worst I’ve seen. Hours are unpredictable, with a set start time and end time is whenever your shift finish their role for the day. 2nd shift works the most hours and are horribly abused. The management is LAZY and don’t do much training, so expect to be thrown out to learn from another employee who is probably new and still learning. Don’t expect to be rewarded for excelling, just a pat on the back from the warehouse manager if you see him. Everyone in lead positions have been there a while and it’s not a very “diverse” group, leaving a slim chance of advancement obviously if you don’t fit in. Overall, a lot of promises are made, but your life must be this job or you won’t be there long. 

This place promises you things & lies about it. 
They will let you borrow time and not pay you 
Suspend you for dumb reasons
They don’t have meetings, they don’t ensure you learned from what you lacked or were suspended for. They allow overtime but then take it as needed and want you to lower it but give no options to lower it 
Poor management 
Poor lack of leadership 
Poor lack of creating/ having a nice work environment 
They throw jobs on you when others were placed the responsibility to others & they found reasons to not do it and pass the title on to the next person
All lazy awful management.
If I was the CEO of this company I would check into my facilities and follow up to as why the employee door is so revolving. What are the managers and trained Employees are and are not doing to keep it an better work environment.
Instead of getting mad and making employees feel as if they are replaceable what training process will be made or in tact to keep employees on a successful track.

Not all bad my fellow employees were good hard workers... well most of them, but the management sucks favoritism between shifts and certain employees!  Every shift makes the same amount when they start but 2cd and 3rd shifts worked harder and longer hours and the new guys make pretty much the same as the guys who been working there, due to an increase in the start up wage but no adjustment was made for the employees who been there.... where do they do that at? And the raises were little to nothing! Work is constant but money wise... not enough for what you gotta do, And they forced overtime on you even by making it mandatory to come in 2 hours early and still can't leave until the job was done! No life and no room to grow with the company that you are helping grow! A Bunch of broken promises!

The dedication to employee growth and professional development at our company is truly remarkable. The presence of a wide array of comprehensive training initiatives and pathways for career progression has significantly contributed to my continuous skill improvement and the ability to tackle fresh endeavors with confidence. Being part of an organization that prioritizes the success and well-being of its employees is not only motivating but also deeply fulfilling. Taking advantage of the numerous learning opportunities and advancement prospects provided by the company has been instrumental in not only honing my abilities but also broadening my horizons professionally. The support and investment in the development and growth of the workforce are evident in every aspect of the company culture, creating a positive and engaging work environment for all employees.

I got into a situation with someone there and went to the office about a serious matter and instead of helping out they did nothing about it and let me go instead of him they also made me work longer hours there when I was told I only had to work 8 hours if you want to live your life at that place then it’s the job for you but management doesn’t care about you nor does the office and just know they will let you go before maturely and professionally handling the situation. They don’t take matters seriously at all as they should even if it involves being seriously bothered in a inappropriate manner by someone again they will let you go before them because you are “complaining “ 

The hours are crazy ranging about 13+ a day.
High turn over rate so expect to do double the work for same pay. Management is a joke and will not take accidents in the warehouse serious. Management Will blame employees for anything. The pay is not good unless you are working 60+ hours which you will. Manager of the warehouse is very unprofessional and lazy but will talk bad about every one of his employees. Have faulty equipment that they refuse to fix because it will cost them money. Will not hire more people because it will cost them money so they overwork their loyal workers like crazy until 1 quits then they hire 1 to take his place and rinse and repeat. I have never worked for a company this bad just stay away . 

Eastern Metal Supply is a good company.  They are recently going through some policy changes and the new manufacturing manager is a great asset and I have no doubt that the company will benefit from the changes he is making.  I have a great crew that fabricates various types of hurricane protection.  Working second shift has taken its toll as there is "no life" to be had- and most managers don't understand that.  Instead of paying a shift differential, first shift is given the utmost priority and thought of to be a reward- which leaves no room for advancement if you are the 2nd shift supervisor.

So glad I found another job with better pay and less stress.
This warehouse has so many issues with inventory, picking, loading, routing and morale. All of the employees that have more knowledge of the warehouse and have been here for any time have  been run off by management. There was an ex employee going to come back but he declined to come back due to being threatened about his job by management before he started. There is now one here to train anyone cause everyone is so new. This warehouse has a lot of potential if they can get someone in that cares and knows the warehouse to do the training.  You are told to do something but if you're not sure how to do it, your told figure it out.
Bring the pay up to bring in better quality employees.

When I interviewed I had this bad feeling. My instinct told me right. They have a check in area with no one in it. 5 empty desks and from the people I met had some issues with the company and being promised things and not happening. I was told coming in I would have a bonus and commission upon starting. This all changed as I got to the start date. Then I got rudely told to deal with it or find something else. I took the job reluctantly and found out big mistake. Using 20 year old software to process orders, manual processes that could be streamlined. I would not recommend unless you need a job temporarily.
