What is the best part of working at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Running from one end of the warehouse to the other, also waiting on others to do their jobs.

The sad truth was that everything was going great until COVID. I loved my job more than the weekends, than being home. Once COVID hit we started working from home. This wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be until the continual problem would come in. Communication started dwindling and dwindling. Sometimes I wouldn't get more work for a few hours up to what at most was 4 days. When I was questioned about my hours worked, I explained that I was waiting for my boss to get ahold of me. Reached out several times, called, emailed and waited. HR assured me at this point it was my fault. The day prior my boss told me he would see me in monday, 6-15. The next day I wake up to getting fired.

A typical day started at 3:30 pm until 2:30 am for our 4 day (Mon. - Thur.) second shift. I'd generally take over the lazer machine and operate for 10 hours minus lunch and 2 breaks. I was sent to class to learn the lazer operations. I enjoyed working with most all the co-workers. The hardest part of the job was dealing with those few co-workers that didn't do their job then wanted me to stand up for them as their 2nd shift union steward. The most enjoyable part of the job was sense of accomplishment ~ making the parts ~and seeing the finished product (bleachers/stadium seating) and bragging about the parts I had in making it to family and friends.

Typical day for those guys on 1st is 5am-3:30pm, second shift is 3:30-2am and our shift gets kinda screwed. Maintenance area gets locked up and if you need stuff oh well. 2nd shift supervisor is awesome. Lots of nice people work there but all the old guys are so lazy that you have to pick up the slack.
New guys make way less and they do the same work so it seems somewhat unfair. Union dues are a little high but they give you a choice to join. The four day week is nice and I like 2nd shift so it is a decent job.

Interkal Is separated into two groups, the union and the office. The upper management intentionally push hostility towards the union and actively discourages office employees from interacting with them. 

There Is little room for advancement on the shop side of the company. You can bid for one of the higher paying job as they become available. Raises are negotiated via contract by the union so your only hope to make more money is to become a lead man.

Despite the union contract there is a lot of favoritism when it comes to discipline. Management will use contract as they feel, braking it to punish one person and ignoring it to help another. 

Great place to work! The hardest part of the job is the amount of jobs that are going on at one time. One of the best perks about the job is the profit share it's nice to look forward to that at the end of the year every year. I love the place that it is located and the building is just so beautiful. I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on about this place it was the best place that I ever worked at in my entire life. 


Pay and benefits are divided up between T1 and T2. T1 is eight dollars higher than tier 2 insurance benefits are totally paid for through the union but the union company decided to make it impossible  to get T1. So you’ll be working next to others making $6-8/hr more than you doing the same thing. The union is absolutely useless and if the company wants you gone they will find a way even if it’s bogus and you will have no support

This is an archaic machine shop with geriatric operators that are past retirement just like the machinery.  The people are good, very unhappy, and underpaid.  I did like the 4 day work week.  That is the best thing about Interkal.

Office culture is friendly and relaxed and work itself is steady if not a bit slow at times, but workers with no tenure or less experience seem to be perceived as errand runners and receive menial tasks. Overall a positive experience but onboarding is fairly lax.
