The training process was brief, leaving new hires with too much to handle. They hire all the time so training is always lost with Quality compromised. Some have to work harder than others to make decent production, causing conflict. Health insurance could be better and cheaper. Cleanliness and housekeeping could really be improved. No organization which causes chaotic downtime and bad material. Opportunities  tools and equipment is there, like punch tools calibers versus ages and height gauges. Most coworkers was always really nice and ready to help.

The job itself was easy, and I had no real difficulty doing the job or working with those around me on my shift. The management and union, however, caused nothing but trouble throughout my employment. Whether it be blatant hypocrisy from the management, or a lack of concern for their fellow employees from the union president himself. It was obvious to most of the workers around me that the union had no real interest in helping anyone but management. The training was adequate for what it was, but they had no dedicated training staff. The individual who had trained me had actually been removed from a track leader position after countless incidents involving machinery. I had some incidents involving safety, one of which involved a faulty light curtain, of which I was blamed for. The only good thing to say about this company is the easy work and the good pay.

I was employed with Hussey Copper Leetsdale plant 11 years and three months. 
Heaven forbid you have a family member with a terminal illness. 
I gave 120% as a Material Handler for one of the Rolling Mills. Went above and beyond for my employer doing my job including roll changesandmore. Never needed a baby sitter from Management. 
My husband whom is dying of cancer and these current employer never contacted me regarding any assistance or reach out to me. I had no choice to yet retire verses putting my husband in a nursing home. 
The current owners are not family oriented and don't care. 
Worked mainly swing shifts and lots of 12 hour shifts. Its a demanding job and it takes dedication. 
These current employer does value about years of service and dedication.

21 day turn,meaning I work 7 days on before day off which is hard on family life for its a rotating shift and that means you work all 3 shifts during the 21 days.

It is a very blended company,you find people from every back ground and status

Busy,I find myself multi tasking at times

Really enjoyed working for this medium sized company. We identified problems, determined methods to improve operations, and implemented the solutions. Management was supportive yet stayed out of the way.

The hardest part of this job was knowing that there was very little chance of advancement.

Most enjoyable part of the job was working closely with union employees.

A typical day at work is usually pretty light
I’ve learned a lot 
Management was horrible. Only a handful of people knew what they were doing. 
Workplace culture was good. The workers usually had each others backs in certain situations. 
The most enjoyable part of the job was chopping it up with my coworkers who were 80% of the time much older than me. LOL 

Over all the place is ran terrible, they have a very difficult time deciding what and when to run things. Products are constantly ran out of specification and sent to customers who ship the incorrect products back to us to re-work. Hiring of family and friends, treating them much better than the other employees. Months on end of overtime, with no respite. Harassing and making fun of employees on F.M.L.A.

A day at work is hard but fun and awarding.The hard part was the heat but doable. I learned a lot in a short period of time from casting to box man in two months. I liked management cause they were always around keeping us going and safe. Being a box maintenance man and helping the furnace guys is most enjoyable job.

Once you have a bid job you do the job. I started out as a laborer. Once you bid on a job you kept that job unless a more senior person wanted that job.i run a machine that slit, flattened, and cut the metal.
I also served on the safety committee and helped plan company parties. i also co-edited the company news letter.
