Would never work there again and would never recommend working there poor management to many people put on a pedestal termination of expeceptinal employees over stupid reasons unfair treatment to employees with learning disabilities zero job security no respect for employees very lousy pay no overtime expoltation of hard working employees not properly training employees or fixing broken down machines blaming employees for bad parts or inconsistencies writing up employees for ridiculous reasons such is listening music or clocking in a minute late or docking you an  hour for clocking in a minute or 2 late putting u negative 10 hrs for clocking in 1 minute late to much work load  or missing day of work putting you in the hole calling in sick unrealistic expectations expecting perfect attendance with low  pay self termination of employee or employees who may have medical issues so never again will I work for henrys do not work Here people I worked there 2 years and I will never go back ever again! They do not  do doctors notes training people in different departments with little to no pay increase no employee appreciation 

Most of the average employees are good friendly people who make the day to day work bearable. The workload is steady and usually manageable. Management however is weak, with too many people in roles they shouldn't be in. There is a strong "good ole boys" mentality, and it can be very cliquey and toxic at times. Many employees, myself included, feel undervalued, underappreciated, and not recognized enough for our work. Communication is poor, and advancement is limited unless you're part of the right circles. On the positive side, you can gain solid skills and experience, and there are annual cost of living raises and usually along with that comes a merit/performance biased raise as well, Christmas bonuses have also come every year that I've been here. But overall don't expect good leadership, fairness, or much growth.

Typical day: Hanging out. No expectations of employees. Long breaks every break. Smoke weed on break. Sitting on the toilet for extended periods of time. Off talking to other employees most of the shift.

What I learned: N/A

Management: Not management. More concerned with how well you chit chat rather than how well you work. Favoritism. Childish nonsense. Believe gossip/lies, no concern for figuring out any truth. Terrible mentality. Aware of things mentioned during the typical day above but allow and participate in those same things. Not in charge, not leaders. Too many employees for the amount of actual work, won't fire or layoff under performing employees.

Culture: Overgrown kid nonsense. Hang out mentality. Get away with all you can when you can. Get paid well to hang out and goof around most of the shift.

Hardest part: The hang out. The lack of expectations. Observing favoritism. Getting setup to fail. Lied to on a regular basis. Nothing to feel good about other than finally getting to punch out and go home. 

Enjoyable part: The 4 10's schedule.

Unfortunately this is not their value anymore. It is quantity over quality. About more and more gun production. It’s sad because it could run so much smoother than what it does. The management tends to have issues with knowing how the place actually builds, the lack of space, communication, and time trials to perform the lines work. They have a hard time looking beyond their nose, when they need to look at the much bigger picture of things, circumstances, and adjusting to what needs to be done to continue better quality!

We have had record breaking builds and shipping numbers.....we get a thank you by getting pizza for a lunch and told to do more! 



Honestly this job pays pretty decently but the management is a joke. You get 24 hours of “absent” time in your first 90 days which is more than fair and then you accrue it at a rate of 2 hours of absent and vacation time per paycheck. Absent time is unpaid. They don’t take doctors notes for serious illness requiring potential hospitalization and when you get promoted they make it super difficult to step back down if you find you don’t like the job. Hr is hardly ever available and requires an appointment to guarantee you can talk to them. Overall don’t recommend working here

I owe this job for making me realize I never want to work in this industry again. If you're a standard operator, you'll usually be okay. The problem is anything past operator has a completely unbalanced expectation-to-pay ratio, not to mention it will take you the better half of a year to actually get the pay to reflect your position. You will be expected to put your life on the line for this place if you're not an operator. Proper management and organization are non-existent. You will not be able to have a life outside of work and you will be expected to answer questions off-shift, even when you work longer than scheduled.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Getting a fair salary.  Initially having the opportunity to make change.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being micro managed.  Blind sided with being let go after bringing them to a whole new level of production.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, Chaotic, political, overall dysfunctional.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get there early, prioritize the needs of the company overall, fight fires all day, and leave stressed.

Management is ok but very thinly staffed.  As an applications specialist I had a lot of duties and responsibilities and supported a lot of different departments.  I enjoyed working with the management team although they were extremely busy.  Support department could be improved, chain of command was confusing.  

The job is stressful, overwhelming, all about favoritism. No room to move up unless you’re in the right crowds. They let favorites walk around do whatever they please and lots of coworkers micromanage. The pay is decent and benefits are good. Some of the people I work with are really decent people. The Christmas bonuses each year is a plus. Otherwise, this job just isn’t for me. Not okay with how things are handled or how others who do nothing wrong are treated. 

I have worked in different locations within the building, along with different jobs. I have done rear sights with paint and press work. I have gauged barrels helping with cnc work, while my supervisor was out of work. i spent most of my time on the paint line, putting parts on and taking them off of a line after powder coating. I also worked in centerfire serializing firearms, as well as making boxes, and getting orders ready to ship out.
