LM Wind Power

A normal day is meeting with maintenance manager to talk about the days task and any problems that have come up from the night before. next is meeting with my crew, or crews to have a safty meeting, and asign task. Monitor the progress of all task that are being worked on, and help if needed. Plan, and schedule next mold for maintenance. Schedule people for any special projects.

I learned about the different types of fiberglass, how to repair the glass, leadership, and computer skills.

Management came from different feilds, and different counrties, this made for alot laughs, but it worked.

Some of my co-workers come to my next job with me, we are good friends.

The hardest parts of my job was working out the problems of starting a completely new windmill blade.

The best feeling I would get is when people talk about how much crew had improved and how they could rely on them.

I enjoyed working at LM. I had a great team. They understood what our goal was each day and were always willing to help each other to get the job done. My personal team had a fantastic supervisor. He always listened to our suggestions. Even if he didn't agree he would take our suggestions and help improve upon them. This helped with moral as it made us a team that supported each other. The culture for the facility as whole was not good. It seemed to segregate departments as if they worked in a different facility. The hardest part of working there were the hours. Sometimes a 12hr shift would become a 20hr shift or a 8hr shift would become a 2hr shift. There was no consistency. The thing I enjoyed the most was learning new procedures.

Long working hours without breaks or lunch. Not uncommon to work 9 to 10 hours before you get your lunch. If you complain, your told "its not a union job" by your supervisor. Your supposed to get 2 breaks and a lunch. Don't look forward to the 2nd break. You will rarely ever get your last break. Again, when you complain your told there is no law that requires them to give it to you by your supervisor. If you are a hard worker you are punished with more work, if you are a bad worker or complain about having to work, you are rewarded with less work. There is a reason they are having a hard time keeping people and hiring people, they treat their workers terribly. They claim your safety is there top priority, however have winter weather rules that put the lives of their out of town employees lives in danger. It has gotten worse ever since GE took over, If you don't care that your treated like garbage, this is a job for you.

Nice pay, GREAT BENEFITS,  meet some great people, and  they’re building a new break room with fresh food. Random drug screens definitely not the career for a druggie. Fiber glass does get itchy but the do have tyvek suits but the get really hot. Get used to cold showers when you get home. Cold showers wash off the fiber glass better. They were able to do an on-site covid vaccine thing for people who wanted it. They order food spontaneously sometimes for when we meet our quotes and such. The don’t order anything with pork out of consideration for all the Somalians who work there, so that’s also another plus. It’s mostly chicken and pizza. Pay raise depending on shift, every 6 months and if you get certain certifications. They just gave everyone a raise and some departments got two raises. Overall great place so far. 

This place is good for someone to make some decent money and that is all they care about. The environment is production first, safety last. They try to portray the image that safety is first but that is a lie. Supervisors push you till your breaking point and if you get hurt, good luck getting support from the company to get better. Then they try and find a way to get rid of you. And if you don't want to breath in deadly chemicals then this place is not for you. Respirators are required at times but they push to limit them so production doesn't get slowed down. OSHA needs to shut this place down as human life is not important to them. How many blades they can produce is the only goal they have. If you value your health and well being stay away as they fail to mention all the risks involved by working there.

A typical day, depending on the department, can consist of long hours of physical labor, sweating and itching due to the fiberglass dust, and the need to wear respirators for hours at a time. Management is okay, but can be frustrating at times. They seem to have a hard time admitting when they are wrong, and will let the entire plant suffer because of it. The co-workers are amazing to work with, everyone has a level head, and there's a lot who'll go out of their way to help you out when needed. The hardest part about the job is dealing with the physical labor, dealing with fiberglass dust, and dealing with the fact that you never know when you'll actually get off of work, sometimes it's on time, sometimes it can be hours after you were scheduled. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with the people on the floor, and going home at the end of the day.

In the beginning in 2008 it was a nice place to work with work a lot of overtime but we didn't mind management was fair at the time. And the years went by they took away the 12-hour rules and we never knew what time we were going to work but she was on the point system so you might get it off of work at 12 a.m. the next day and had to be back at 6 a.m. some people receive points and some people didn't just depending on if you were in The Click or not. It's my understanding that the management that had all the cliques are some stuff or not employed there at this time. And their training is not up to par at this time the company is losing a lot of money

A typical day at work included being told you don't work hard enough, watching slackers get by with less, and staying late to finish the job. Non one really wants to be there, decent coworkers that will work with you like a team are hard to find, the safety and caring atmosphere that the higher ups preach never reaches the little guy. If you work harder, you're not rewarded, you're punished with more work, while the slackers go home and never receive a reprimand. While the pay is good, it isn't good enough to continue working here unless you're lucky enough to move up the chain and get away from the chemicals and dust.

When I worked at LM we had a decent flow for time running. However, if you did not agree 100% with whichever supervisor you were placed under, your job was constantly on the line. The threats were never ending, if you spoke to HR, the HR personnel would call the supervisor and tell them any complaints you made. That would always cause retaliation problems, so people just stopped trying. There is a sense of entitlement among the management that is ridiculous. It became very clear very quickly that the consensus among management was employees are a dime a dozen so who caress if you stay or not. I have never worked in a worse company for employee moral and backstabbing.

the Job as a whole was not hard at all the managemnet staff needs some improvements,co-workers were mostly pleasant working as a team is a value that needs work favortisim is apparent in some areas reconizing employees for extra achievements needs to also be addressed employer/employee communication needs to be improved from a management stand point training for both in this area .you will have some opportunity to advance at certain times the negetative part of this is where the favor/friend may be advanced ahead of you because of who they know and not what they know as it is assocaited with the job being offered travel /training is offered to some and not others which should be reviewed
