Indium Corporation

In my experience so far, most of the employees are lacsidazical and have no sense of urgency to get anything done. If you're motivated and determined this is not for you. This will just get you more things to do with little to no compensation for your diligence. Their pay is below average for manufacturing and this could be part of the reason nobody tries very hard. Production has a strict president to meet deadlines and is usually held up by Tooling or Quality Control. Nobody is ever helpd accountable for jobs being late, except the Prodution Supervisors, In one way shape or form they are always responsible for everything that happens. Most employees do whatever they want with little to no reprecussions. Their woke policies make it impossible to get rid of trouble employees. Good training is a privledge given to those who go above and beyond and adopt everything they want you to be. Be careful being yourself, you could offend someone and spend a lot of time with HR. There's little to no leadership. Everything is delegated to someone else. The medical Insurance is decent, but Dental & Vision are expensive and cover nothing. I can go on all day, but I'm sure you get the picture...

In my years at the company I have seen people move ahead, move up, and tremendously improve their careers. I have also seen people languish and go nowhere. Usually, it hinges on what a person puts into the situation.

The people who take classes, go to school, earn degrees, take direction, learn, and accomplish things do very well. Those who are unable to do those things don't do as well. 

Some people are not in a position to put in the work, that's understandable. They must understand that the competition for promotions is tough. There are many excellent people competing for advancements.

Keep your eyes open, seek a mentor, ask for guidance and help, align with the program, make problems go away for your boss, never surprise your boss, lead by example. This is how most people succeed.

Indium Corporation is a world-class company with world-class customers and competition. The company competes in a challenging environment. This makes almost all roles demanding. That said, the rewards are there (excellent experiences, excellent growth, excellent skill building, excellent resume building, networking, promotions, etc.). But, they are never handed to anyone.  When people work for these benefits they are rewarded. And, there are people at the company who will help someone advance, should a person desire such assistance.

It is a unique environment.  The product is very robust. It could be better but requires capital investment.

Co-workers are great. Very helpful and friendly. Truly a family atmosphere amongst the non management ranks.

Limited vision and willingness to embrace new ideas at the plant level.  Corporate is positive and treats their employees as well as they can, but they do need to open their eyes to some of the negatives at this facility's plant level and correct things here if they wish to retain talent and continue to grow. There are some within the management ranks who are obstacles to healthy environment, to continued growth and to productivity improvements. 

Many basic productivity improvements pass through one individual who is virtually never present, and that person prevents others from picking up the slack in their absense; they are overloaded and rarely present for several weeks at a time (even months). Simple things that take most organizations a week or two actually take a year or more here. As a result you work around problems/improvements leaving major gaps in the improvement of products/process and value to the owner and customers.

Do not work here the pay sucks. They don't give you proper raises every year they give you the least they can to get buy. The culture is terrible most people are underpaid and it shows. There is a lot of drama and gossip like high school. They expect people do work really hard and do a lot of work for hardly any pay. People are promoted with no raise. Management is under trained and also not the best people for the job. I've been told by multiple higher ups it's not what you know it's wo you know. Would not recommend working here if you're looking for a career. t's  good in-between job but don't make a career out of it. People work here for 20 years are making $22 a hour. They don't take care of their employees how they should.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I get to actually develop which is a tough thing in a software role around here. I’m not bogged down by a million meetings that could have been emails

The job has it up and down the people are good everyone says good morning and willing to help the upper management sucks they expect more out of you than what they paying the annual raises suck and is based on favoritism and the way they make the job more difficult than it has to be from they outdated computer system to how they process there products this place isn’t good if you are looking for a career or want to work your way up , I’ve volunteered for overtime as much as they needed because I wanted to show I am a hard worker but they just ask for more and more and don’t show no appreciation or give any time of raise I even asked for a 50 cent raise because I had a lot more responsibilities and they flat out and said no.

Third Shift, is unsupported by all the management. Every other shift has ten guys, we have give. And with half the people we are expected to keep up with the same amount of production as the other shifts.
The benefits, are very good.
Training on third shift is nearly no existent.
The supervisor is passive aggressive.
You get know help of asked for it.
I do the job that 4 people on other shifts would do. I feel overwhelmed with it all, and unappreciated. Like the pressure is all to much. I just put my two weeks in. Because when I went to management with my complaints. They said there's nothing we can do and you don't deserve more compensation.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

Prepare the machines, run the product through and feel content that all product was satisfactory done and ready to be shipped on time.

-Fast-paced workflow.
-A lot to know.
-Management does not understand what's required to maintain high production output, disregards very high priority issues for useless fixes to non-issues.
-Blame-game is rampant.
-Much wasted time
-Most employees are either hard workers or very lazy, no middle ground.
-Very diverse crew.
-Good job security if you go with the flow/don't stand out.
-Hardest parts: finding time to get work done, dealing with counterproductive management and co-workers.
-Best parts: Often satisfying work, Entertaining conversations, consistent work hours, opportunities for overtime, decent benefits.

The overall benefits are good .The company provides free coffee and has special days for free lunches, deserts  ect. The environment  in the actual work area is not good  .chaotic .poor management, supervisor  has favorites and cliques. Some workers are barely acknowledged. Unprofessional behavior among supervisor  and group leaders . If you make mistakes you get scolded and looked down on while others are treated like there so special.
