Linder Industrial Machinery Company

What is the best part of working at the company?
Work life balance even for management. Good benefits. Wonderful management team. 
There is an open door policy in all departments with all the management teams and they do everything they can do to accommodate and make sure there is a very positive and peaceful work atmosphere. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This is a dealership ( sales driven) with a service dept (deadlines are a necessity)
Work most be done in a timely manner and the customers bottom dollar must always be considered. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The management team is very supportive and strives to keep a peaceful anf safe environment for everyone to work in. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in get assignments and start to work. Two breaks and lunch is always given and alot of the time food and snacks are provided.

A typical day involved dealing with frustrated customers and disgruntled employees. Over three weeks, I encountered nothing positive. I quickly learned not to trust the company's promises during hiring, as none were true. Negative reviews accurately reflected the reality.

Management was largely absent—I worked for four weeks without meeting my manager. There was no guidance, and employees were left to fend for themselves. Workplace culture was toxic, with frequent complaints and walkouts. Customers were equally dissatisfied, often vowing never to return.

The hardest part of the job was navigating the inefficiencies, poor communication, and lack of structure. Every task felt like an uphill battle. The most enjoyable part of the job was the day I resigned, as leaving the dysfunctional environment was a necessary step for my well-being.

Management has changed over the past few months and things have slid  very far down hill. The foremen and managers take no pride in their employees and have no respect for them. Employees feel as if they are used and thrown under the bus daily, parts personel are held resonible for things they are not paid to do, technicians are not given proper tools or manuals are and ridiculed for lenthy turnaround times on mahcines. Techs have to make their own specialty tools daily to complete tasks, because the company will not purchase them. The only thing keeping most of us going is our fellow co workers. Most of the techs are looking for new emploment due to the lack of communication and organization.

typical day at the parts warehouse, taking in orders from other branches and suppliers, receiving them in to into our system and to be put away on to the shelf's, pick up orders and put them on the will call shelf, unload incoming delivery trucks with the fork lift  and separate all items to be put in stock, management, would be changing everything to much and to many changes of bosses in the department very unstable, culture i guess is was ok to there standers, hardest part of the job, keeping up with the customers demands, when I was in the dispatching seat, most enjoyable, was working with my job staff and having a job.

This is a company with NO accountability unless they are looking to terminate an employee.  Departments run on an as needed basis and anything goes.  It's chaos!  Sales people do as they wish, no rules need to be followed.  Service techs walk around texting all day.  Parts personnel make you feel like you're doing them a favor by asking for parts.  If you're a customer, all you have to do is complain and you'll get a credit.  There is a total lack of training involved in all areas, sales, service and parts.  No reasons needed, get the credit.  I can't believe a parent corporation like Sumatomo allows Linder to represent them.

The company is owned by an old school Japapiese company that will not budge or bend to taking care of the customer or the employee. Linder has/had some great people. I did learn quite a bit during my time here. It is amazing how differently the same customers treat me now that I am with a different company.....they know I have the ability to take care of them and that I am 100% backed by my managers vs what they got from Linder. Linder has damaged any and all working relationships they have/had with customers. I keep waiting for one of Gregory Pooles daughters to buy out the Carolina branches.

Used to be some decent guys there but they've all left, not much knowledge left there, training department isn't very good there is one person doing all of the training there is no way one person can know everything good enough to train all subjects, parts department isn't very good either, plenty of upper management a lot of problems there also, huge turn over rate, probably the reason they offer such a high sign on bonus, i wouldn't recommend to a friend unless they were desperate and I'm sure they'd get hired they'll hire anybody, they might bring in an occasional pizza about every 6 months to try and boost morale 

Typical day at work is complete chaos in a very unorganized company. Upper management is a complete joke. They worry more about playing golf, leaving early and having drinks than they do actually doing their jobs. Technician training was not organized at all. They have no set plan for techs. It’s just sign up for classes and we will try to approve them. On day one they will throw you to the wolves. If you are looking for a company that has their stuff together and has upper management that will support their lower people, DO NOT go to Linder. 

There is no work life balance. As of the last recession, the company was streamlined into a few key employees who were all working many hours to keep the company up and running with no staff.

They decided this was the best option, only expanding if said key users quit or begged for more help.

They describe the culture as "agile."
The employees here have a very strong sense of responsibility and ownership over their roles, and that culture is very ingrained at this company.
Despite this, they pay well for this industry, so its fairly compensated.

For a company that makes the money they do annually, they sure don't want to spend it where it will make the best impact to help business growth. Also, it is very compartmentalized where departments and branches don't communicate other than to complain. If they spent some money on equipment, and the personnel that actually cares, this company would be amazing, but they are busy tripping over a dollar to save a penny.
