Management has absolutely no idea what they are doing. They care more about the floor being swept and poles being mopped for their never ending "tours" than any actual work being done. They have a bunch of convoluted processes that no one actually follows and half the time are out dated and don't even work for that part by the time they go to make it. Their time management and scheduling for completing contracts is an absolute joke. The machines had a schedule of parts to run(or to paint, build, weld, etc) in order but when you went to get the materials they weren't finished by the previous work center or they didn't have any in the building let alone on order. If they were supposedly in the building, good luck actually finding them. They lured you in with 4-10 work weeks then forced you to work weekends. I now hear they "changed the hours" to 5-8's yet most are still being forced 10s. They were severely underpaying everyone even pre-covid, and promised to do market evaluation raises. Over a year later before I left they still hadn't done them, yet they were posting our jobs on here for more than we were getting paid. I hear they've completed them now and everyone left is still underpaid. They exploit your abilities with promises of promotion, and get you to start your new job tasks on top of your current position's duties and just keep saying "Oh, we're working on it." if you inquire about your promotion or job transfer. They keep promising new work and jobs are coming and they never seemed to appear. Apparently it's gone even more downhill and all of these things have only gotten worse since I left. 

Management is totally out of touch with the shop. They continually are trying to improve production but the answer is literally right in front of their faces. We need machinists, not more overhead. On top that, we have like 10 people all wanting us to do things differently, so it results in a big mess. The right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. Seems like they all are trying to prove their worth and inflate their egos even more. 

The morale in the shop is abysmal and high turnover results from that. Hardly any new hires want to be stuck at work 60+ hours a week in a smoldering hot shop with no ventilation. As such, new talent is hard to come by. They fire people left and right, and since they aren't being replaced, the excess work falls on everyone else. 

The point system for tardies and absences is pathetic, especially considering how overworked everyone is. Forced out some good employees.

Hardly any time to spend with family after you work all day. 

Pay is subpar for the work we do. And no, OT does NOT make up for lower wages. It is a bonus for working above a normal workload.

Machines themselves are old and half broken. Pretty much all of them leak or alarm out daily. The overworked maintenance crew basically puts out fires but can't spend the time to fully fix a machine. 

To management:  Happy employees are more productive. That means having a more balanced life, job security/advancement, and good pay.

I have worked at Loc Performance Products for 11 years.  I really enjoy my job and look forward to coming to work each day.  At Loc, I am able to use the skill set I have developed throughout my manufacturing career and am able to contribute to the continued success of the company.

It is challenging to work at Loc but it is also rewarding.  I work with a business development team of motivated professional people.  We know what our company's capabilities are and promote those capabilities with our customers.  When issues arise, we resolve them as a team.  In recent years, our contract wins have been nothing short of amazing.  Loc has a substantial sales order backlog and has a very bright future.

If you want to work in a challenging, fast-paced and exciting environment, then Loc is the company for you.  Our management team has a clear view of both our present and our future.  The acquisitions we have made in recent years further support our ability to continue to achieve our goals.

I obtain a great deal of satisfaction in knowing the contributions I have made on our previous contract wins.  I also know that my present efforts will lead to a large number of future contract wins.  Our ability to continue to grow our sales backlog guarantees a bright future for each Loc employee.

I absolutely love the work I do at Loc Performance. The management has created a family-type environment, and were quick to welcome me when I started. They are extremely flexible with schedules, and have the understanding that we are all human, and that things come up. As long as you are upfront with them, things will usually work out for everyone.

It is also important to realize that this work is extremely fast-paced. We are growing quickly, and need to make adjustments to prepare ourselves for even more growth. With that in mind, we all realize that there are things that may need to be fixed, but the management welcomes any suggestions from staff with their open door policies. After all, we need to work as a team to accomplish our goals. If you enjoy a team environment, this place is definitely for you. 

On top of all this, we do work for the military. As a vet, it is unbelievably amazing to walk out on the floor and see equipment that I recognize (and I'm sure it is even cooler for our shop employees to be able to say that they built some of it).

I initially started as an operator running Mills on nights. After 2 1/2 years of being on a machine an opportunity for the tool crib attendant become open. I jumped at the opportunity to apply for it. After a week of interviews and the OK from my supervisor I got the position on dayshift to become the tool crib attendant. 
With any job there are always challenges and hardship with your environment and with people. It has been my experience that supervisors and HR will work with you if you have an issue. However, people have a tendency to think things happen quickly but a lot of times they do not. Good, bad or indifferent you will get an answer eventually. 
I have worked at retail jobs most of my adult life and people who have worked retail know that the pay stinks and sometimes the people suck. With a place like this you don't have to deal with the general public and you see the same faces day in day out. If your not familiar with a shop environment or a loud environment then it is something to get adjusted for. 

I was hired in as a CNC Set-up person. In my more than a year of employment I did only 1 set-up. All they are looking for (regardless of what they tell you when you are interviewed) are production button pushers. Period. If you are ok with just being a "worker bee" that works a million hours a week, discouraged from individual thoughts and ideas with NO chance for advancement then maybe this is the place for you. 
    I would be embarrassed if this office personnel worked for me. The Human resources department is inept at best and broke federal law upon my departure trying to "get even". The COO is arrogant and has a better than you attitude.(If you do take a position there, you will be called to several meetings to hear all about the greatness of what he does there and his accomplishments.) LOC Performance also breaks state laws by allowing employees to smoke in the building.
   The production employees are for the most part good people and easy going. I had never been in a plant with morale that low. Almost everybody hates to work there but most feel stuck.

"Family" company...I would never treat my family like this place treats people. You are a number here, nothing more. You will be held back because people are afraid you will take their job. Unless you are in the clique, you are disposable. 
Busted old machines, outdated processes. Whoaaa, industry standard pay and benefits. Meaning you can go anywhere and get the same. I'm not even sure how true that is anyways, considering that both are pretty bad.  I also keep seeing them bring up the Marketplace we have here...I wouldn't brag though because they charge crazy amounts for the same stuff we had in the old vending machines. 

This place misses the mark on so many levels. Middle and upper management are slow to do anything unless it is write-ups or other punishments. 
Don't know how to quote scheduling so we are always behind, and of course it falls on the bottom workers on the totem pole.
They will lie to get you in the door, get a few months out of you, and then you either get burned out and quit or be miserable like the rest of us.

"Poor Leadership can take a good Staff and Destroy it, causing the best employees to flee and the remainder to lose all motivation"

Due to the lack of true opportunities some guys rely on back stabbing and character assassination to get ahead. Snitching is also used to gain favor. These actions go unchecked and unpunished.

There is a revolving door in this companies leadership which allows them to make promises they have no intentions of keeping. 

The shop floor is so talented it intimidates the management into minimizing the guys so they can look important.

If you are truly skilled I would avoid this company as you will only be viewed as a threat.

There is no true leadership on which one would choose to follow.

This company is not interested in growing its people.

Credit does not go where credit is due.

This company Lacks true incentive.

The management is uninspiring.

Lack of Communication.

Too much dishonesty.

Lack of Respect.


And I left on great terms.

They do not follow their own rules written in their rule book. Very hypocritical, very unfair treatment of employees. Terrible management especially on night shift. 12-hour shifts you get no family time and  it's very hot in the summer with almost no ventilation. Watch who you talk to and what you say some people act like they are cool but they really are snakes they will go to management about almost anything. You haven't been working there for more than a couple years chances are they will find a way to fire you or replace you rather than give you any raises. The turnover rate is ridiculous they don't keep anyone because the good ones quit or they fire all the good ones. Last three years they've grew the business more than 30% each year and then employees barely got anything. They have a 401k but won't match a dime. Feel sorry for you if you are employed there or if you get employed there don't do it!!!

 LOC was different when Victor was owner. 
NOT a whole lot better but somewhat.  Human Resources decideds when a honest employee isn't for them. If your into all the clicks and having people look down on you for succeeding then Loc is for you. If you don't have morals or a life outside of work Loc is for you. If you have a family, morals, self respect, integrity, or any type of self worth look elsewhere. They are extremely racist against whites.  They will make LOTS of promises and not hold up to them.  They will pat you on the back and turn around and give you a write up or worse.  The place is nasty filthy and training is obsolete.  They might show you once and expect you to do other things you never have without even teaching you. If you remember high school or even middle school that is the atmosphere you will be working in.
