Knight Enterprises, LLC

I started working full time in the late shift (3 PM til 1.30 AM Monday through Thursday, which is amazing) 4 weeks ago as an untrained CNC Lathe Machinist coming out of 18 years of being a stay-at-home mom and am provided with excellent training by an outstanding supervisor. Everyone has such a positive attitude which I felt from the interview on forward. Everyone is always helpful. I love working with men and as the only woman in late shift all my coworkers took me in like one of their own. I love supporting the Second Amendment. So far everyone has been nothing but supporting, respectful, and offers a lot of positive feedback all the time. I have learned so much in the first week alone and never stopped learning ever since. I can ask questions over questions and everyone has answers and shows respect. I feel like I am home. I am still in my 90-day probation period so I cannot say how good or bad benefits are, time will tell. To me, this job is not only a job, it is a pleasure and every step I make there I make with pride. I love all the challenges this job comes with. All my coworkers even those from first shift are simply incredible and encouraging. A little blessing out of nowhere as this job literally found ME. 

Not great. Very unprofessional.
Upper-management do not care about you. The gossip mill is worse than any normal work place. It’s a very toxic environment. The bathrooms don’t have doors and there’s cameras everywhere so they can watch you and make sure you’re not taking extra breaks. The turn-over is very high. You will not be appreciated. If you are looking to fill a Management or Supervisor here, RUN. This is not a place for a professional to thrive. They will not listen to any of your professional opinions, they will not let you run your department how you see fit. You will have major problem employees and you will not be allowed to discipline them or fire them if they are a favorite of upper-management or considered valuable. You and your employees will be forced to deal with that problem employee while they do whatever they want.
The employee handbook is pointless, many employees blatantly disregard a lot of the rules. You will be surrounded by hypocrites. There is a major “do as I say and not as I do” thing they have going on in there. Not a place for anyone with aspirations or an IQ higher than 80. Oh and the 401K sucks. 

They prey on professionals from out of state that do not know any better. 
Once hired they begin the 90 day probation period. They stress it so much that it will make you nervous. And if you screw up you are gone. 
The General Manager is a used Car Salesman on his best day. And the owner and his sons are petulant children. They literally have temper tantrums in front of employees.
They have on several occasions cussed employees out, and openly express that they think their employees are stupid. Knight rides on the coat tails of Stoner. 
They micro manage everything. 
They allow bad employees to stay while letting good ones go because the bad ones talk so much about them.
The moral in the building is worse than a group of soil sera after a bad fire fight.
They second guess everything you do.
They ignore laws after being told about them.
They say they care about safety but do not.
Most managers and supervisors here are just looking for the next place to go.
The only people that really stay are friends of the Knight’s or the GM. Just over all a horrible place to work. 
It is a club house with playground rules. and berate them.

I have never had such satisfaction working at any other job in my life, I may be younger than most here, but my work and my job duties expected of me are more than reasonable and satisfying. I applied and got the job here after a recommendation to apply from another employee, and to be honest, I had zero experience in any of the roles I ended up getting the job for. They gave me more than enough time to learn and understand what I needed to do and how to do it correctly. I've now been here for 6 months and I'm succeeding and exceeding in all my roles. My boss and supervisor really take the time to listen to my questions and really take your opinion or ideas into account. I still may not be an expert, however working here I know I will be and that this company is invested into me as I am to them. 

I began working for Knight's back in 2007. I left for some time and returned this year. I found the company has improved quite a bit during my absence. Procedures are more streamlined thereby making tasks easier and time more efficient. Management has treated me with kindness and respect. The facility is very well maintained, co-workers are friendly and helpful. I find Knight's to be an enjoyable place to work if you have a positive attitude and professional work ethic. I highly recommend others to seek employment at Knight's! :)

Working here is great! Unlike a larger corporation, it has the flexibility to build a role for you. I was (and continue to be) mentored and supported as I work here, which is a great environment to be in. I am learning new skills constantly, which makes me feel engaged and interested to be here each day. The goals of this company (in short, to constantly design/refine/craft cutting edge tools for our defense) instills a higher purpose in my work. I don’t have anything negative to say…I’m enjoying every day here: the friendly people, the engaging work, the flurry of activity, the spotless facilities…there’s no place like it. I’m telling all my friends: come work with me! 

I’m baffled by many of the reviews on here. It’s a great place to work! Positive people that go out of their way to introduce themselves even if they don’t work in your dept. Everything I’ve experienced is the total opposite of all of the negative comments listed. Managements great. HR’s nothin but helpful. It’s a place you go to work and enjoy your job. Good people,  great atmosphere, and a drive to make well engineered quality innovative products. Believe this is a contributing factor to why their products have dominated the industry! 

I've been employed here for over 10 years and this is the first employer I have worked for who provides growth and opportunity by encouraging it's employees to apply for open positions within the company. This allows their personnel to advance and/or find another position here that better suits them without them having to change employment. With on the job training being provided, this creates employees who accomplish goals that they most likely wouldn't elsewhere.

So far the job has worked well for me. My manager is patient, understanding and extremely knowledgeable. I am very grateful for all I have learned from her. 
Learning about guns and the manufacturing process has been very interesting. 
I appreciate the set schedules for breaks and not having to bring work home with me, the separation between home and work life is important to me.

Great place to work! The hours are good, Management and HR department actually care about their employees and don't treat you like you're just another number. This company is enthusiastic about education and strengthening their employees skills. The work is complex but not overly stressful.  A.C. in the machine shop is a plus. The supervisors and leads are professional and can be an affective learning resource.
