Jedco Inc.

The work that is being asked for you to complete on any given day changes constantly, sometimes even within minutes. When you show up for work, ALL supervisors and management are in a daily production meeting and unavailable for the first two hours of your day. When they are finally available, they provide you with a work priority list that you might as well toss in the trash because an hour later it's useless. Those same supervisors and management are unavailable once again at the end of the day, for a repeat of the same useless meeting. All the while, the head production planner has been promoted multiple times throughout the years, including recently. However, that may be due to the lack of leadership above him. This lack of planning causes last second mandatory overtime on the regular. Vacation days will be denied, especially at the end of a month, so they can ship anything they can at the last second. There is a lot of nepotism with hiring and promoting family members or friends to positions they are likely not qualified for. Outside of that, most people are friendly and easy to get along with. Lunches are only 20 minutes, but they are at least paid. When you don't get stuck working overtime, the three day weekends are great. A fully stocked gym to use at any time is a nice perk. Overall, it would be a good place to work if the top down leadership improved.

Everyone seems to be running around like a chicken with their head cut off, nobody is on the same page, which leads to everyone being stressed. This causes people to fall behind and stressfully push people to rush to get a ton of work done all at once at the end of every month. Apart from nepotism and favoritism management doesn't seem to listen, you can go to management with ideas, issues and wants, but it go in one ear and straight out the other. Hard work means nothing, unless you like moving sideways at a work place and never up while maintaining the the same pay and raises that mean nothing. The bond coordinator/ shopping department roles are extremely toxic, over worked and full of people who like to spin stories to bring themselves up and look better while trying to drag you down, there is a reason they can't keep people working in the bond coordinator role. All that being said, the job is nice if you're looking to just get by and get some experience, most people are friendly, at least to your face. 

Do not work for this company. They care nothing about their employees. No recognition for hard work only expected to work more.  Employees expected to work overtime, but then have no support from management or engineers for any problems that might occur. No one knows what’s going on. Bad planning all around nothing gets completed in a timely manner. Zero communication between departments, supervisors and management. Management and supervision Meetings every day, but nothing is relayed to the shop floor or other shifts. In all the time of working there not once in any of the meetings has the management team thanked the employee workforce for their hard work and extra overtime only scolded them for losing the owner money. 

They do not care about your knowledge or experience, they will make you do work you do not know so they can protect their desk job. You will be forced on overtime while your boss goes on vacation and expected to provide results with an unknown deadline. They will not help you with tuition reimbursement or advancing your career. If you want to have job security, you need to drink and gamble with upper management.

Recent changes in ownership and management are positioning the company well for the future.  The size of the company is great for those that want to stand out by making a difference.  The products and processes are very unique.  Strong customer base in an industry that is booming.

Working here was a horrible experience.  Management ruled, yes ruled, using intimidation tactics.  Expect to come in early and work long hours (lots of unpaid overtime if you're salary).  You will be singled out and ridiculed in front of your coworkers in meetings.  Trust no one.  Just don't.  It's not worth any amount of money.

There was favoritism going on when I was there. If you are not liked by management then your pay and work experience suffers.
I was miserable at this company. There was lack of diversity in management and it showed in the way they managed employees. I’m so happy where I’m working now. 

They did not respect my time at the interview. They were 20 minutes late starting the interview and kept letting other people interrupt the interview. If they are not going to respect my time on an interview, then why would they respect me as an employee?

Management makes poor choices and passes the consequences on to employees.  Mandatory overtime. They schedule you when they want to.
Seems like theres 2 social status at jedco.

Close knit team oriented. They encourage and motivate the employees well. Decent over time incentives. I've really enjoyed my time here. If you like smaller growing companies, then this one is for you.
