There is no solid management the supervisor suppresses raises and reviews no one works together at all and training ha only if you can pick it up yourself that's how they train. If you want experience this is a good gateway shop for someone to learn but they will never give you what your worth because all they want to do is line there pockets with gov't contracts and sellout as fast as possible it's a joke how you can be treated there.


Good people to work with some days are tough others not so tough. I have learned many skills outside my normal job .Things like electrical , plumbing and hydraulics. I have enjoyed completing a project and being able to see what I have done .

They have a lot of people hired on solely because they knew said person. The only reason that company is still afloat is because of one very talented man that does several peoples jobs on top of his own.

I was able to work on my own and managed my time and prioritized the jobs I had to do each day.  Every day was different and interesting.  I got a feeling of satisfaction when each project was completed.

a typical day at work is good learned new thing management is ok sometime working on the plat form for the US NAVEY work on parts for the US NAVEY IT'S ENJOYABLE MY CO-WORKERS OR FUN GUYS TO WORK WITH

Multiple layers of communications between peers were a plus.
Many opportunities to learn and share work experiences.

Tough work environment but at the end of the day there was a since of gratification.

FEC is capable of producing pretty much anything on a small scale, which is a fun environment to be a part of. The shop floor and engineering should mesh much better but still pretty awesome.

Relaxed working atmosphere with nice people , small company feel , flexible schedule as long as you get your work done. Close knit group but very welcoming and friendly 

A large family oriented company.  Potential for advancement and cross training. Benefits package could be better. Great support and management.  Overall good place to work.
