   There’s an alleged “opportunity of advancing,” but once you attempt your advancing you’re being held back by both your supervisor that can’t fill your role and HR which says it’s up to your supervisor and can’t do anything. Naturally, as it comes to pay raises it seems like everyone’s “hands are tied.” Whether that is your supervisor, their manager, or even HR. No one can do anything to accommodate you. You’ll be getting paid barely above the advertised price and you’re supposed to keep it hush hush like your 30¢ are special just for you. 
   If you’re crazy and want hours there are a good amount of departments that’ll work you dry and the 1.5x OT does help out if you want to make it in this economy. There’s a lot of issues between day and night shifts as well as departments (the classic “everyone else is stupid except you” mentality). 
   It’s a great job overall besides my gripes. If you come from decent pay make sure they match you and you’ll have a good time. Only other way I’ve seen when they actually pay people is if they match you on a different job offer, but don’t make it your plan either it only happens sometimes. Either way If you can get away with good pay then you’re set it’s not a bad gig as long as you don’t have any unfriendly coworkers. For the most part most workers and pretty great and friendly. It’s mainly management that seems to be going through their teenage phases. 
   All in all make this your second choice once you don’t have to worry as much about catching up with money. You don’t want inflation to turn your assets into liabilities after all.
5/10 can go either way.

Absolutely no professionalism within the entire company.
President of the company only cares about revenue and not the people.
HR manager only represents herself and her personal needs. Lacks 100% professionalism, interpersonal skills and is very condescending to employees.
Quality dept. not a team player with experienced Engineering team to resolve and correct product quality issues.
Engineering manager lacks professionalism and all management skills, does not communicate with his staff members, complains daily without ever having a good solution for problems and is very disruptive when trying to work.
New Operations Manager is the most unprofessional and conniving member of the entire staff. Forces quality overlook and ship out "defective" products to the customer; thus only cares about quantity and NOT quality. Over a handful of production supervisors resigned due to disrespectful and unethical work-related incidents. "Lays-off" good team members not willing to work under his fraudulent and fictitious management ways.
Entire management team works in "silos", no team cross-functional meetings or conversations, No solid solutions for correcting the hundreds and thousands of dollars in monthly product defects, all lack standard office work etiquette, incredibly disruptive and highly mismanaged organization.
IF you have any respect for yourself and for your career, steer away from this company...

My typical workday is repetitive and boring. On a daily basis, I had to deal with vendors talking down to me. Honestly, this is the ONLY company that will allow vendors to treat their employees like dirt. It got to the point where I stop allowing them to treat me with such disrespect. I really didn't if I were to get fired but I wouldn't allow anyone to put me down. To top it off, every department worked against each other. I was confused at time asking myself if we were working for the same company. There's no support from the direct manager to hold anyone accountable at this place. No accountability creates a workplace culture that employees can do whatever they want with no repercussions.

The hardest part of my job is to deal with a certain person in accounting. She has the worse attitude and personality. Always on her high horse and act like she knows it all. I'm not surprised she is still employed there because this company has a tolerance for tyrants. I did enjoy some people I worked with. You know who you are. (Payroll and the other ladies in accounting).

Even though I had a bad experience here, it made me stronger and appreciate my new endeavor. It gave me something to compare. After being here for 7 years, I had to get out. You can call it a 7-year itch but everyone that left here are more successful. I am....


What is the best part of working at the company?
I wish I could give it a zero. I needed some fmla time back in July and they gave me a hard time about it. It was a dire family emergency and they were pressing me to know why I needed the time. Which is none of their business why anyone needs to use FMLA. It’s actually against the law for them to ask why, but FM wouldn’t t approve mine unless I gave them a reason why I needed it. So I quit on the spot. If you have a family and value work/life balanace, don’t work here

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
That they don’t care about their employees personal lives in any way, shape or form. You’re a number to them.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Trash. They only care about their production numbers.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busting your butt for no recognition and minimal pay.

There are plenty of promises for advancement, but will never see any progress. You will be stuck in the same position for a long while. Management seems unorganized, and there seems to be leadership positions in ares where it seems redundant. Organization and effective communication sets FM Industries back from future growth in the Phoenix Metro area. Dependance on few employees to run a few buildings will continue to be a hinderance to FM as the organization attempts to increase workflow, increasing production of work, without in turn increasing staff in all respective operations. With the increase production and limited staff, causes workers to work longer hours for more days to keep up with demands. In turn putting the smaller staff closer and closer to burn out. 

Come to work work 10 hours then they asked you to work more overtime what I've learned? There's no real future at FM unless you're part of the culture IE a Yes Man.
Management they're basically just Yes Men that's the only way to keep your job there you have to agree with whatever the boss says can't have your own ideas.

Hope you don't have a family or a life they want you to work 6 days a week.

Hardest part of my day pointless meetings that go no where. Dealing with untrained QA personal  who don't understand GD&T,

Half the employees can't communicate in English proficiently. 

The best part is 2:30 when I punch out a go home.
