FECON

I worked here for 9 years. We had a great run of record breaking and family atmosphere. The team in place from c.e.o. to head of h.r. is the absolute worst team I've ever worked for. I was loyal and loved the people who worked with me. The upper management had destroyed the atmosphere, destroyed the sales, as well as destroyed peoples will to be part of something that used to be great. The c.o.o. is by far the worst of all the management and his laughable lackie of a contract work manager. They created division, chaos, and an unstable working environment.  They killed a great company to work for and abused the people who loved working there. I'd still be there if not for their incompetency. Please reconsider working here it's the most dysfunctional, toxic, confrontational place. Scrolling past this posting would be your best option. I'd only return of the entire management team was removed They have no clue how to run a decent working environment. 

There are still a number of employees there that remember when it was a wonderful family owned business that was a traditional American style place to work. During my time there, over the course of '22-'23, it has been in what can only be described as a time of growth. During which time ownership became controlled by a faceless, seemingly unfeeling, investment group. The command structure that I was controlled by was replaced and "rebranded" at all three levels in what  I could only describe as a cooperate cancel culture environment. It seemed to me that the people running this place were blaming everyone other than themselves for their repeated failures to succeed.

Clock in ,gather work assignments and parts weld until break.

I enjoyed learning about hydraulics and how everything went together. The hard part was starting out with a carry tool box when other people there had 2 or more large snap on boxes filled with tools.  The job had large amounts of down time due to long waits for parts(mostly shop welded parts) and for decisions from engineers.

Good Coworkers and good Overtime

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hurry up and wait or do it twice because it was wrong the first time

The company has changed from family owners to more corporately owned.  This has allowed us to grow.  Some people did not like the change and have left, but the benefits are good, pay is good, and if you show up to work and do a good job, there are no problems.  Management is good.  They care about the people.  2024 was a slow year overall and things are picking up.

I would give the management 0 stars. The only good part of the management was is managed to save me years of stress. While being they, was promised a few raises and none showed up. Was told to move multiple times because they had no clear direction of where they wanted me. They fired the only good supervisor I've had in decades. 

Good place to coop. You learn a lot and stay out of office politics. The people are really great. The job consists of assisting engineers and helping with odd tasks. Lots of BOMs and drawings. It’s a good overall learning experience.

Load and unload heavy equipment  , also receive and ship parts !!! Check in and make sure what we recieved is all there. Store everything in the location where it goes ,and take inventory to insure counts are right

Has changed dramatically over the years. Was a Family-owned business that cared about its employees and now it is run my inexperienced managers, that have no idea about the business, and are doing everything in their power to remove any employees that challenge their decisions
