The pay isn't fair based on expectations. Although we were "not supposed to" discuss pay, I was told the pay of some positions by coworkers and I was infuriated by how little people made vs. how much work was expected of them. I saw multiple people come into the machine shop to get trained and then leave for a better paying job. 
Job expectations aren't always realistic. Promises are made to customers that give very short time limits for employees so many jobs are rushed. If a cnc program is written wrong and scrap is made, the machinist is at fault and not the programmer. QA workers aren't always on the same page as machinists with tolerances. By this I mean that sometimes machinists are told one thing by a supervisor, but quality will say something different which causes a lot of unnecessary, and time wasting, conversations. 
Some machinists aren't very open to training new employees, they will give a bare minimum of effort. It sometimes seem as if some people want the company to fail. 
Certain rules are inconsistently enforced. Safety seems to be very important to humanetics; but for some reason certain people get away with breaking safety rules while others are scolded for it. Also, if you make scrap you might get asked if you were on your phone during your run; right after the supervisor puts away their cellphone games and facebook. 
Lastly, if you do choose to work here GET YOUR JOB EXPECTATIONS IN WRITING. I spoke with multiple employees who were hired for one position but were expected to do many things outside of their original department.

Not worth any great individual investment, they will just exploit you for it. There is no fairness or equality in expectations, the raises are usually subpar and no matter how far you stand out you at best get $.50 a year. A lot of people have worked there for years and new hires are within $1.00 of them, sometimes actually getting paid more, which we rarely know because of the non-existent wage transparency, and threats of repremanding if we discuss pay. If you want decent insurance and a potentially non physical job it's okay, just don't expect to make a career or comfortable living here. It is a trap for complacency. The overtime is very irregular, most often not given very much advance on working Saturdays. There is no accountability either, where quite a few employees are underperformers and are never held accountable, where the good ones have to pull the weight. Along with all this management likes to string people along, hoping for better pay. They always promote cross training but nothing is gained from knowing multiple areas, no pay incentive whatsoever. The quality of this place has severely gone down hill over the years, just read the other reviews for coaberation.

High turnover and poor communication between departments were major concerns during my time here. Many experienced employees either left or were terminated, while management frequently discussed staffing shortages and difficulty retaining workers.

The work itself is manageable, but morale can be low depending on the department. In my experience, employees did not always feel secure in their positions regardless of performance, and favoritism appeared to play a role in workplace decisions.

There also seemed to be pressure internally for employees to leave positive company reviews online, which made the public ratings feel less representative of actual day-to-day conditions.

Another issue was departments blaming one another instead of addressing root problems directly. The company is consistently hiring, which may be something prospective employees should consider before accepting a position.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The products and industry is very interesting and challenging.  The staff is great to work with and most truly care about what they do.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Ownership and upper level management refuse to support to workers with proper staffing and a functional ERP and planning system.  Team members are expected to meet unrealistic goals without the tools to achieve them.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very collaborative workspace, unfortunately the workers are asked to do multiple  jobs creating a high stress environment and an overall feeling of hopelessness.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Many meetings that can take up half the day or more.  Managing a workload that goes will beyond my position requirements and compensation.

As a Machinist,  the pay is on the low end for what is expected of you.  Sometimes complicated parts with very tight tolerances,  sometimes in the tenths of thousands of an inch.  .0005 is very common with a few .0003 tolerances.  The raises are slow ( once a year and only in the 2 to 3 percent range). Get your money you're wanting at the interview table.  The Quality Department can and will control your job security.  If you can't make a good part and mess up frequently,  you're gone.  The training is very poor amd not many are willing to help you out,  every person for themselves.  
You will get plenty of time off, 10 days to start plus one personal day.  56 hours of sick time,  and they're very lenient with the amount of time some guys miss.  10 minute grace on being late. 
The job is overall stressful and not worth the money.  But it is very clean and air conditioned.

Management didn't solve problems ever. Constantly doing the job of somone else just to get your job started. Managments lack of workable knowledge on how machines operated. Tooling was often lacking had to order tools for my own machine often and found out it wasn't ordered anyhow because somone up the chain of command decided it was to expensive. Threatened with time off without pay for having to constantly do somone elses job to get my own job done and not liking it. Basically poorly managed , poorly thought out process on manufactureing floor. Keeping problems secret or quiet from the main offices so nothing ever got fixed. Many many days of wasted production because of indecision on problems never being fixed.

They seen me on my phone one time sending an important text while working 10 hours a day there and I was a minute late coming in and I wasn’t slacking I was still doing my job and well but they took that opportunity to fire me after only 2 weeks.. They changed my key to get into the building earlier that week and said “it does that sometimes” knowing that they were going to fire me… still had me work overtime and the rest of the week instead of just letting me know.. not to mention I was escorted out in front of everybody which was just unnecessary and embarrassing! I was barely trained and this is the most strict factory I’ve ever worked for!! They’re hiring people because they’re understaffed but they got rid of me for basically no reason at all in the grand scheme of things.. 

Management is fair - no discrimination or favoritism - they will hire anyone. Good culture - employees friendly, helpful and work together. Smart managers and key personnel. Air conditioned plant. Employees are hard workers - no place to hide if you don't perform. Not afraid to get rid of the "dead wood" - but it's justified.

This is by far my favorite place I have ever worked. The managers truly care about the employees. They send dinners to families when they are going through a tough time. This weekend they are having our company picnic at CEDAR POINT for 500 people! You get to bring your family for a free day at the park, lunch AND dinner. We also received a free t-shirt with the design. The prizes are always amazing at these functions( I pads, Apple Watches, etc....).
Let's not forget Popcorn Thursday, Ice-cream Socials, Chili Cook-off, Baseball Gatherings... 
Pay could be better but the benefits make up for it. 
I feel secure in my job and have know that with time and effort I can quickly advance!
This is the first job where the managers don't scream and yell at people.
