Innovative Composite Engineering

The atmosphere here at Innovative Composite Engineering is positive and encouraging - If you are a hard worker, dependable and have a good ATTITUDE - You’ll do great :)
I’ve worked at I.C.E. for soon to be 3 years and I find that the people that work hard, assert themselves and show that quality is important to them, excel. We are a team and when people complain or drag their feet, it effects everyone - those people don’t stay long. We have all workers from all different types of racial backgrounds and each person is skilled in their each unique ways. Your opinion and ideas here are valued. I’m thankful for the opportunity that they gave me to learn a new trade and grow here at I.C.E. I feel that as you improve your skills, you are fairly compensated.  The Human Resource staff are always making improvements and thinking of news ways to incorporate  fun and positivity into our daily lives.
The schedule has been more than fair! I’ve needed to change my scheduled hours three times now and they have been more than patient and kind with me :)

Huge disconnection between management and "the floor". There is a select circle of employees who click together, and if you aren't one of them immediately, you never will be. Good people work there, make no mistake. The people in charge however, only get their information from rumor and gossip and make important decisions based on that. 
The company owner likes to make a show of how hard he works, but is barely there anymore, maybe one total week a month or less. Overworked, salaried engineers are made to stay for multiple 14+ hour days on their specific projects. Basic maintenance not being performed on the building and machines because the maintenance guy is fabricating new machines that may or may not be used. Laughably low wages, especially compared to other composite companies. 

In short: Good people, terrible management.

Management has the best intentions, is generous to the community, and gives opportunities for innovation and advancement.  However, their management tends to be heavy-handed.

Associates are good and friendly.

Work tends to be somewhat stressful due to unnecessary poor planning.  Many fires (figuratively speaking) to put out.

Smoking is not allowed for any employees at work or home.

ICE is one of those companies that sugar coat everything about how great the company is which turns out to be the EXACT opposite. They under pay those of us out on the floor for very technical work. The employee comes second to the company making money. They buy old junky equipment that breaks down. People that work there are not happy and stressed. There has been well over 100 people walk in and back out the company doors in the last year! Most quit after a short time, some get fired for poor reasons.  Nothing enjoyable about this place! 

In comparison to other companies in the area doing the same thing, they pay several dollars less an hour. They get you to think there will be bonuses that will compensate for that but it's very rare that you get one and on the occasion that you do, it's not much. Also, HR will continually work against you to lower your "points" that contribute to your yearly raise, and will use absolutely anything you do against you and never give you credit when your actually doing a good job. 

ICE is a great place to work and be proud of what you do. The compensation is great and allows me the Fiscal freedom to pursue my hobbies and passions. I feel appreciated and apart of something bigger than what most of my peers are doing.

This place is very productive and filled with hard workers. The place is always cleaned up efficiently at the end of the day and the managers; Sandra and Julian are super nice understanding people. The only downside to the WHOLE facility is that they have a terrible HR dept. and a minimum wage production line with bonus incentives. Other than the low starting wage and the HR dept. lady Laurie Stanford the place is an amazing place to work at.

This organization is a good way to begin working in the local aerospace and manufacturing industry.  They will employ most anyone and due to being such a toxic workplace they do not fire employees even for grievous mistakes.  As such the management and competant employees are overworked, underpayed, and fingers are always being pointed.

It is a good place to work, I just think there is a huge lack of communication and feedback about your position until it is too late for you to do anything, while some people literally can break all the rules, do nothing and never get a word said to them and advance. Meanwhile, you have to do multiple positions, without recognition, pay as well as mistakes might be made and you will be demoted for that.

I am currently employed and have been for over 10 years. I am proud of this company and thankful for the opportunities and continued support in my career. Management here is committed to the success and growth of their employees. Solid in their commitment to keep us employed (no layoffs) even thru the 2008 recession. I take pride in being part of a talented team that makes cool product. We dream big and work hard!
