HADCO METAL TRADING

Let’s start off with not a lot of people speak English there. It’s a very hard job and the pay could be better. Management makes it worse because your working 11 hours in steel toe boots and they won’t let you sit for even a minute. Some people start at 11am and are made to take lunch at 2, then you stay on your feet for the rest of the day till your shift is over at 10pm and you have to be in the next morning at 7am. Managers leaves when they want. You have to take out your own taxes. Safety there is a joke. Your told you’ll be making one wage and they give you less. It’s not worth it. There’s 17 different languages spoken there so don’t expect to talk a lot and if you try to use your phone to translate you get in trouble. The uniform they make you wear is uncomfortable and hot and they only supply you with enough uniforms for two days when you can work up to 6 or 7 days a week.

I temp'd at Hadco for a little less than a year. It wasn't the most optimal time to get ahead as a new employee. As they were just opening their Bakersfield location and dealing with the (at the time) various difficulties posed by the escalating pandemic, my training was a low priority and was essentially phoned in...as a result I had difficulties trying to be an effective employee and it was stressful trying to become proficient with the tasks and tools of the trade (these being highly specialized, making my experience serve me in only the most general of ways). Having said all that, there were some very nice people working there. I found them to be accommodating and helpful, some of them to an impressive degree. A good work environment can make up for practically anything and I found that to be the case at Hadco.

I doubt this company has any plan for how to grow in the next 5-10 years.  I'd be surprised if they even had a 5 minute plan.  Management changes objectives on a daily basis and there is no consistency in the decision making process.  While it might be acceptable today if you did the same thing the next day it was unacceptable.  They claim to put their customer's first but what it really came down to was the almighty dollar.  

My advice to management - Let the people who know the markets help set the goals -  then hold them accountable - learn from and to respect the employees knowledge.  Look into SMART planning goals.

People there are all honest and trying to make a living.  The main issue is the management and that they do not care about employees.  Family business that will make their own people suffer to get results. Loved my coworkers but everyone is timid to express their opinions and how to improve the business. 

They are an Israel based company so they have their old world views on money, people, and their priorities. I have seen many family members run for the hills so no one is safe in this environment.  Its a job and not a career so if you work there look to better yourself in the long run.  I hit all my career success once I left this organization and they will do nothing to help your self-esteem.

When I started working, it was clear that there was no plan to train me on my job, company systems, or explain company practices. I was chastised for not knowing things, and also chastised for asking questions. I spent most of my employment trying to gain accesses to systems I should have recieved on day 1 in order to do the job I was given. If you're Russian or Israeli, they'll look the other way if you take extended breaks or skip out on responsibilities. Otherwise, you will be scrutinized at every point by Managers who (by their own admissions) do not have proper Management experience.

I am a driver for Hadco metal Trading and the fill-in for the fleet manager when necesssary. My work day starts at 6 A.M. and could last anywhere from 10-14 hours daily. In my time hear I've learned time management, scheduling, loading and unloading, and the management of other drivers. The job environment is very good because all of my co workers know each other, which creates that environment. The hardest part of the job is not having a set schedule everyday due to the hours varying everyday.The most enjoyable aspect of the job is being able to visit different areas everyday.

While Hadco works with trying to pay an appropriate salary, they fail to mention the many overtime hours, a non-flexible schedule for family or personal emergencies, and the harsh work environment. Employee are expected to work 12-15 hour day minimums while the weekly salary compensates for about 8/day. You will work holidays. You will work weekends. And you won’t have a choice. Also, the benefits for medical, etc. are completely unreasonable. Easily triple what I’ve had taken out of my check for great medical before and you barely get any coverage. 

Make collection calls 
On-line banking,  daily bank reconciliation and cash management 
Review accounts receivable aging reports and outstanding balances.
Maintain and reconcile payment records for all accounts 
Prepare and send statements and collection notices to customers
Prepare reports to Controller, maintain proper accounting filing system.
Credit Card Processing applications and other paperwork.

The supervisors are easy to get along with and are generally supportive.  The training could be longer and better structured.  You basically just follow behind someone as he's doing the job and taking in what tib bits of info they share with you.  It can be overwhelming in the beginning.  They speak of a bonus program that your eligible for after a few weeks.  But there's no written guidance as how to earn it or where you are at on qualifying for the bonus.  If I don't see it soon I'm going to reach out to HR about it.

It’s funny how this place sucks so much that they literally have to write their own reviews. Management was awful, they didn't bother helping anyone learn or take the time to teach new hires. ABSOLUTELY NO ROOM for advancement whatsoever. They don't care about what personal obligations you have outside of work, including family. They do not give raises unless you cry or try to sue. Save your time and go elsewhere!
