KICE INDUSTRIES

Working for Kice Industries was a huge learning experience for me. I was told the job included building Programmable Logic Controllers and that's exactly what I did for them. 
Me and my only other co-worker in the department would get a schematic from the Engineering department, a due date, and a parts list to order. I learned how to manage parts and build a PLC from scratch, using wiring and drilling tools. 
The job itself was very challenging and fast paced, a single mistake could set us back a week and a miss-wire could potentially spell danger for the client we were building the PLC for. 
However the company let me go, despite my attempts to fit into the job, it was not suited for me.
It was a great learning experience and I do not regret it at all.

This place is an excellent beginner welder location. Management is the best I've had at any job in 20 years. They really appreciate their employees and do the best they can to take care of them. They train people to weld even if you have no weld experience. They typically prefer to promote from within. Super low turnover rate, they have employees there for 20+ years. 
Downside is they have low promotion rate, lowest salary cap in the region.

Was paid a fixed fee for every day I was in the plant. Started by reviewing current process, machining, engineering and cycle times. Put a package together contacted machine suppliers and asked them to put together a plan with recommendations from them as to how they would machine the part. I gave weekly up-dates to CEO, CFO and there staff. Narrowed the field to 3 machines recommends asked for best and final quotes - Selected one - machine purchased and in place. Had buy-off of machine thus ending my consulting for Kice

Great place to work until the new generation of the kice family kids took over. After that it was not like working for a family owned place. They were only there for the money. The employees were just employees after that. Employees lost the feeling of support and the feeling that you wasn't just a number. After the change to go anywhere in the company you had to be one of there buddy's to even feel secure in your job.

Quote level is very high. Close rate is low. Unclear expectations and support
Several leads from shows
Engineering support is lacking
Culture can be toxic. A lot of transferring of responsibility and finger pointing.
You must know the equipment to be successful
You are left alone if you produce. You are micro-managed if you don't

What is the best part of working at the company?
Management severely lacks communication. They tell you to do something and have something done and then tell you that’s not enough and not what they wanted. Supervisors and HR do not communicate at all and blame their employees for it.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The bad management communication was the worst part

They have a family and faith oriented culture that really makes you feel comfortable and free to share your views. As a non production person there is not a lot of growth potential in the form of position, but if you want to learn something that can benefit the company they will immediately sign you up for it. They give a good work life balance. Pop corn on Thursdays and short Fridays.

Management is like a chicken with their heads cut off not knowing which direction to take. They lack leadership and organization. Pay was OK, flexibility was the only really good thing, and even that fizzled away. 

very great company. easy weld process . understandable blueprints. state of the art welding machines. you get the opportunity to advance based off of skill. they are a family owned close nit company. if you show up to work everyday with the will to achieve the goals and practice great safety you will go places in this company

Management is friendly/helpful and the atmosphere of the company is that of a team or family. Managers are concerned for the safety of all workers.  The work keeps you busy and is hands-on.
