Frontier Door and Cabinet

The people are nice . but a complete lack of direction in production /assembly . I left because they implemented a cart system which shows a complete lack of experience in a production environment . they moved everything from one department and dumped it on to one person and not just that but, where we had used rollers and everything was waist level and above they made their own carts and now you will be lifting everything from the floor and having to completely turn around piece by piece . they hadn't even been ready to implement a cart system as they have rails that stick out of the floor that act as a stopper for the 1000 lb fully loaded carts  which actually caused me to strain my back . in my opinion the ones saying the idea was a good one were the people to afraid to say anything or they were upper management . the ones pushing for the idea in any normal place would be gone . but this place relies on people who can't get jobs anywhere else . they don't require the people running machines to actually QC parts and then wonder why their numbers aren't hitting their estimated projections . or maybe it is they don't have reasonable expectations . either way the carts made me laugh. Also don't expect to get paid based on experience this is one of those  places that says you will have to "prove yourself " to take advantage of you so they can pay you low wages

Working at FDC was a decent experience overall. A typical day involved clocking in early, checking the work orders, and jumping right into production—cutting, assembling, or prepping materials. I learned how to work efficiently under time pressure, improved my attention to detail, and gained solid hands-on experience in manufacturing.

Management was fair, though sometimes communication could be better, especially when changes happened last minute. The workplace culture leaned toward "get it done," with coworkers mostly focused on their own tasks, but people were generally respectful.

The hardest part of the job was the physical toll—long hours on your feet, repetitive tasks, and some heavy lifting. But the most enjoyable part was seeing the finished product and knowing you helped build something real. Overall, it was a solid job that taught me valuable skills, even if it wasn’t always easy.

I would give this company zero stars if I could. The prevalence of nepotism here is absolutely appalling. It’s clear that promotions and opportunities are handed out based on who you know, not what you can actually do. If you're not part of the "inner circle," your efforts will go unnoticed, no matter how hard you work.

The management is a joke. They’re completely out of touch with the team and are more focused on maintaining their own power and influence than actually leading or supporting employees. There's zero transparency, and any attempts to provide feedback are either ignored or dismissed. It’s a toxic environment where favoritism runs rampant, and genuine hard work is undervalued.

Save yourself the frustration and find a place where talent and dedication actually matter. This place is a dead-end.

Frontier door and cabinet is like a family for me I’ve grown into this place really well! I’ve learned how to run a saw machine, and improved my knowledge of production. Management doesn’t bother you unless you’re messing around of course. If you do your job they leave you alone it’s not bad at all. Culture is fine everyone minds their business unless you want to get to somebody  everyone here is pretty kind. Hardest part of the job for me is clocking in on time haha everything else is pretty automated and they’re big on safety you aren’t going to hurt yourself here. I enjoy the process of my job from start to finish, I get satisfaction making quality material efficiently. I see myself retiring here. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people I worked with. I honestly loved my job. Its a very fast paced work environment. I thrive in a fast paced environment and under pressure. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with engineering mistakes and machine malfunctions. Being paid less than new hires with no experience. Favoritism and no room for advancement. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The people are great, it's like a family. But it can be difficult if conflict arises. Best if you just keep to yourself and understand its just a job. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I filled in wherever I was needed. Usually in more than one area during a shift.

I have been here for a little over two years. I started out rocky, it was tough at first with the management and communicating. Once I figured out the culture it has been easier. The work is tough and I see people leave basically because its not a free ride. Show up, be consistent, they promote from within and plenty of opportunities to learn new positions. 
I work in Safety, and the company takes the safety of the employees seriously. There have been major improvements with PPE, initial training, and they look into new tech all the time to make the work easier and safer. 
I love the people I work with. There are a lot of smart, genuine people that work here, and people take the time when given the time. 


Most people that work here are friends or family and they get preferential treatment. Management is disorganized and chaotic, unrealistic expectations and sometimes downright RUDE. High turnover and people leaving en masse is a good indicator of this problem. People that stick and stay are either super loyal, bullies, masochists or able to keep their head down and avoid the drama. HR is disingenuous and tricky, good luck getting real help from them. Lots of talk about promoting from within and advancing but this rarely actually happens. Long work hours, no time for a personal life or family. Double standards for office and shop people. The few awesome people and overtime pay make it worthwhile, but not for long.

I was on the 2nd shift. The day started off with a meeting and overall review of what was expected. Followed by some stretches.  I was a machinist so I had to then run my test and get to work.  I learned something new everyday there.  If  I had nothing to do, I helped out in other areas.  Always something to do there.  Management was strict but fair.  Everyone was my boss. Work culture is good. The hardest part was the drive past the LEWIS /McCORD area and learning to take the time to stamp the product when finished. The most enjoyable part was there was always something to do. Lots to learn .

Pre-finish: I did experience some benefits working with Frontier. I learned a bit more how to paint and a bit more about techniques. I was able to take 3 months off when I had my son which was a blessing. Also had a fairly consistent schedule until spring/early summer. Overall the negative culture, gossip, poor management and unprofessional conduct plus unsafe practices. I definitely would encourage all who are thinking of applying here to think twice and consider going elsewhere. Unless you are desperate for a job, I believe you will find better at another company. You’re welcome for the review.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Location. At the start of my employment, my commute time was within ten minutes of my house.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The allowing of aggressive actions by coworkers. being threatened physical violence from your coworkers will not get you a response from the management or human resources.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Extremely Abusive and Intimidating. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I had to wonder who was going to start throwing punches at me or other coworkers.
