The only thing good about it was the paycheck every week if you worked Monday through Friday. If you worked the weekend shifts pay would be inconsistent with the application of PTO. Your OT pay is based off of your base pay and not with your differential. So you will be lacking and will have to work 120 hours a pay period to see a real difference in your paycheck.

Under Hanwha they've recently decided to move to a punitive attendance policy. They've chosen to ignore a the states grace period when it comes to punching in. One minute lates accounts for a .5 an occurrence and you're allowed only 8 before termination. This includes if you have no PTO and are sick, the probability of being let go is high. While on the topic of PTO, you are forced to use all of it instead of being able to take a pay cut so you can save time for another day. 

Theres only a review once a year and if you're lucky you can get 3% and maybe a title change. They have no incentive to work other than this weird flex between relaxation and pure tension to get material out. Management clearly lacks the capability to negotiate contracts and production steady. Their new policies clearly show a lack of  care for employees. If you do work there just leave because they won't respect a 2 weeks notice. 
Lastly they've been off loading material to South Korea, so thanks for sending our jobs overseas which is probably a goal being owned by a foreign company. 

Company has a lot of potential but the wrong people are always put in leadership position with no leadership skills. Planning at this place is bad. Salary people get treated better than hourly people which upsets most hourly workers because thats showing that you believe salary workers are more important. Hourly workers are the engine to this company and yet get treated as if they’re not important. One thing I dislike is that employees are nosy. They want to be all in your business (ridiculous). Using your pto in this place is pretty good. They approve most request whether is 3 days ahead or 3 months ahead. One thing i have to say is that they leave you alone and is a laid back place. Another thing i like about this place is that machinist do everything on their own: set ups, tool loading, part loading, run parts and adjust as needed, fix programers messed up programs, etc…machinist do it all (engine). Management need to value hourly workers more. I feel like in order for you to grow in this company you have to be a favorite of upper management and have no skills. If you are too good at what you do on the floor or putting in too many hours hourly then they want to keep you there which stops you from growing. 

Almost everything that was verbally expressed to me during the interview process was not delivered. I was told I would get a signing bonus after 90 days of employment, but that never happened. I was told I would get a performance review and a raise after 90 days of employment, that never happened either. I was told I would get a second performance review and a second raise after 6 months of employment, and again, that never happened either.  When I approached my direct supervisor and HR to address my concerns, I was told by both parties that what I was told during the interview process was a miscommunication. So if you are looking into employment with this company, protect you own best interests and make sure you get anything offered in writing. If you don’t, they will act as if it was never offered to you to begin with. Other than being ripped off thousands of dollars in wage increases and a signing bonus, this is a decent place to work. 

This place is poorly managed and have inexperienced people in management roles.

It is a toxic and unprofessional work environment. There are many good employees who are very unhappy and work hard and management doesn't do them justice. No respect or appreciation for their employees. When they do something for their employees, it is the bare minimum. This place is a joke. It will be better for your mental and physical health if you pick garbage off the side of the street.

You will only get ahead in this company if you kiss up to the right people. Lots of favoritism. 

The HR department is a complete joke!!! They seem to bandage the real issue and goof around rather than get involved in real employee issues.

Do yourself a favor and do not apply here no matter how desperate you are for a job. it is a matter of time the place is going to go down. 

It's a great job opportunity if you can get in they just don't take anyone, you must has experience in CNC and you also must own the tool to do the job. ( Company does not purchase tools for you they expect you to have them since you are suppose to be an experience skilled worker that has worked in the field. ( Operators, Mechanics, Quality Control)

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Extremely busy..  The expections and demands are high.

I worked at Hanwha for approx. 8 months in the toolroom. Hourly pay was reasonable, however it varied widely. PTO was available immediately upon hire. The equipment is extremely old. I'm talking EZ track Bridgeport stuff from the 80's. These are on the original BP machines which have not been updated.  I've been in the trade 30+ years and never imaged the short amount of time they give you to complete the job. I was laid off because I took leave due to the coronavirus. Even though myself and family has pre existing conditions. Don't bother here It would be a mistake.

The communication is staggeringly, inefficient and the prejudices of taking advantage of a hard worker and an every day setting is astonishing. There is no security there at all when you work only the higher-ups get to take advantage and do what they want and leave whenever they please the HR system truly doesn’t advocate for equal opportunities and basically is a popularity high school lifestyle. As someone who was steadfast in their work in emphasizing clarity, improper communication the sabotage level that they bring about is truly disappointing.

Since coming here the company has done nothing to improve the work environment.  Said they were going to buy new equipment  on 3 occasions and got nothing. Tool room and cnc department  are old. Newest machine is 20 yrs old. They do employees feedback but then make nothing of it. There PC division spends millions but still can't keep employees.  But management gets an extra 5 weeks off! Offering referral bonuses now 1000$ and up but no hourly employee would recommend this company. Place needs help.
