Fidelity Manufacturing

Lower management are all great people to work with. Upper management is a different story. It almost seems as though they have no clue what goes into completing jobs. Jobs are often give unreasonable or downright impossible completion times, which means we are always "behind." While "behind schedule," jobs are rushed that wont ship for weeks. The reality of the situation is that upper management are only concerned with overall profit numbers, which they are sure to share at monthly meetings.New hire employees are told they will work 10 hour shifts, mon-thurs, with the occasional friday. This is an outright lie, as more often than not the days are 10+ hours and fridays are mandatory more often than not, depending on the department. They are also told about a profit sharing plan that doesn't exist. Safety is priority, unless it's your long term health. Poor ventilation, poorly maintained equipment or a downright lack of basic equipment, and always changing workload demands make for a less than enjoyable workplace. However, a friendly work environment is also a priority, and it shows. Most people are great to work with, which helps to make the day go by quickly

Fidelity like any other company has it's good qualities along with its' bad. 
The newest being their growth. The growing pains are felt by many. To grow requires a multitude of variables. First and foremost would be a management team that sees and understands each person and their position within the company. And closely follow by respect and guidance for the heart and soul of the company, its' employees.
Let me first start off by saying, I loved my job. But...there is always a but, I was hindered by under qualified coworkers. When you depend on other persons to deliver you information, you would hope that it would be correct. The management at Fidelity was well aware of my issues and choose to do little to help me. They choose to nurture and teach these individuals. Good qualities as they are, at what point do you say enough and move on. I was repeatedly told by management that they were working on the issues. But after 3 long years, nothing had changed. If anything the issues multiplied due to the company's growth. 
The hardest part about this job was learning that my value to this company meant so little.
I will truly miss the hard working people I now call friends. 

The employees are mostly positive and the pay is good the only issue is the middle management/floor supervisors. They try to put off giving raises to anyone in hopes you’ll forget you asked for one by saying get back to them at the start of the next quarter because it isn’t in the budget despite also preaching record profits and growth. They want you to work at least 50-60 hours a week despite only working 40 hours themselves and when asked why simply say “they put in there time so now they don’t have to” as well as trying to guilt you into overtime you don’t want by asking what you’re doing outside of work and telling you that whatever it is isn’t important and can be done on your one day off a week.

Starting with ownership- Mr. Brad Dinkins and MANY of the Management team were a shining example of the companies Core Values "To operate and build Fidelity according to Godly principles and values, trusting in the Lord to direct our steps, to supply our needs, and to grow Fidelity as He wills. Fidelity is a tool in His Hands and our purpose is to honor Him in all that we say and do". I was blessed with an opportunity to work with some of the smartest, kindest and brightest people in their industry.  I truly enjoyed my duties at Fidelity and many of the people I worked. Very family-like culture. 

I have been employed at Fidelity for many years. Fidelity will treat you very well if you come in and prove your value and skill. The Key word in that sentence is prove!! It took me many years of proving. Go well above and well beyond of what's expected of you. Just over the years continue to prove your worth.  Pay is based off your performance on how great you build the product and the amount you can move out. 10hrs is not even half a day. So saying you worked all day is misleading. Come in with the attitude to be great and be the best you. Work very hard for the company to achieve the common goal and they take care of you. It's that simple.

Save yourself the trouble now and just keep looking. I wasn’t here for too long but that was all I really needed. The company is growing too fast. Too many incompetent- mediocre managers to handle it all. Instead of replacing them to improve, they just hire more managers to help supplement the ones that can’t do the job themselves. Listen to the other comments about the church. Don’t bother trying to get promoted unless you go to the same church as the others. They only recognize certain people if you’re in the favorites club or welcome back club. Forget about having your own ideas and sharing them, their ideas and only their ideas work. 

Working here keeps you on your toes—there’s always something to do, which makes the days fly by. Even though the workload can be intense, the team maintains a fun and supportive atmosphere that makes the environment enjoyable. The most challenging aspect is dealing with the heat and an unpredictable schedule, but the sense of accomplishment from the work makes it worthwhile. While management styles can vary, I’ve been fortunate to have managers who are approachable and great to work with.

I worked for this company nearly 2 years. This is the definition of a dead-end job, you come in and do your job for bad pay and barely have family time. They expect you to work overtime every week, and the benefits are bad. My family insurance was $250 a week out of a $800 check. Don't worry! They do have incentives... a ridiculous pizza party twice a year and some picnics. Ridiculous job, It was an absolute waste of my time. The management wasnt good at all, they say that they promote within but will hire managers from other companies. Im so happy i left this absolute joke of a company, My mental health has never been better.

I came into the company, knowing nothing about the industry and I had no experience or training. I personally have one of the roughest backgrounds that a person could ever have and Fidelity gave me a chance. They believed in me, and invested in my future by training me to be who I am today. Within a couple years of proving myself I was blessed with promotion after promotion reaching my current position as housing supervisor. In short, this place is like no other, to say the least.
