Our team was desperately understaffed forcing everyone to work way more hours than we wanted. Meanwhile, it became apparent that HR was putting in the absolute minimum effort into trying to find new employees. Very disappointing and led to me wanting to seek new, less stressful employment.

Although they do offer benefits such as health insurance, it is a joke. you'd be better off putting your insurance premiums into a savings account as the copay is outrageous. It will only become worth the money when you hit the ridiculously high deductible. Honestly, not even worth staying for the "benefits."

Pay was great, but being stuck with mandatory overtime and 6 day work weeks gets old very quickly.

The people here are a close knit group.  They are hard working and fun. Engineers work closely to support production.  Metal casting is a fascinating industry to be a part of. It is also hard work which is why I liked it here; I knew that I was always around hard working people. The business has ups and downs and is tough to manage. Lawton's have been around a long time because they are smart about reacting to change. I was there roughly six years and was let go during small recession. I'll never forget the people I met and the positive experience I received while working there.  I recommend it. Even though I'm pretty busy now, I would go back and help them out if they called me, but I would have to take a couple days off my current job to do it.

I am a fairly new employee,, my first day I was welcomed by all, provided training that continues still to allow me to grow, perform my job well and to help support the  employees and company.

The work/life balance is amazing for all employees. The culture is one I have never experienced, one where you feel the support from all around you.

They offer wellness programs that assist in maintaining the health and well-being of their employees. Benefits/compensation is one of the better programs I have had experience with.

I would highly recommend working here from our foundry to our offices. 

Workplace that included manufacturing and office experience. My job responsibilities required that I traveled to meet with customers. As a result, in function of my job responsibilities, the office and manufacturing personnel were extremely supportive and helpful. As regional sales manager, I relied on those people for on-time delivery of products and on-time submittals of quotations. Every day was a different experience for me at this company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Bad management and raises almost never happen

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management and lack of training

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, not worth the long hours they demand of you

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dirty, getting mad because no one is trained properly.

Lots of overtime. Started here working 106 hours every two weeks. They said its just for now. That lasted 7 months. Only changed because they were made to stop working us so much by people higher then the people here. Air quality is terrible. Some days.you can't se to the end of the building. The people can be ok to get along with. Its kinda like high school.

A great company to work for.  Pay is great, benefits are awesome.  They do care about their employees.  You get rewarded for good work and meeting company goals.  This isn't a bad thing when I say this, but they are strict on the attendance policy especially in your first 90 days.  Don't miss work and you'll be fine.

I really lovet it working there. The company really pamper their employees. Everybody make sure they know you by your name or nickname.  Really respectfull and the owner will allways call you by your name and even sitdown with you to eat. I really regret having to quit it do to school closing because of the COVID-19.

The shift times were weird, almost got into a fight with another coworker over covid masks.

The job was trash, I was making peanuts just to come home covered in filth and do it all over again the next day. Management was terrible and pretended like they cared but they never did anything. 

Go into work do pm’s and go on calls the job is not overwhelming pretty nice place to work at. They have taught me loads of new stuff and I keep learning stuff everyday. I enjoy going into work and talking to the employees everyone treats you fair and nice.
