Competitive compensation and benefits: Offering competitive salaries and benefits is crucial for attracting and retaining talented employees. A good workplace recognizes the importance of fair compensation and provides additional perks such as healthcare, retirement plans, flexible work hours, or opportunities for professional development.

Opportunities for growth and advancement: A desirable workplace offers opportunities for employees to grow both professionally and personally. This can include training programs, mentorship opportunities, career development plans, and promotions based on performance.

Work-life balance: A good workplace understands the importance of work-life balance and strives to create an environment where employees can effectively manage their personal and professional lives. This may include flexible working hours, remote work options, and policies that promote a healthy work-life integration.

Supportive managers provide clear expectations, regular feedback, and opportunities for employees to voice their opinions. They also offer guidance, mentorship, and resources to help employees succeed in their roles.

Recognition and rewards: Recognizing and rewarding employees for their contributions is a hallmark of a good workplace. This can take the form of verbal appreciation, bonuses, performance-based incentives, or employee recognition programs.

Breaks are short, two ten minutes in summer, one ten minute in the winter and 30minut lunch year round. There are seasonal extremes, very hot in summer. Over time depends on where you work, want a lot of overtime? Work in packaging. Don't want a lot of overtime, work in a testing/buff out position. medium overtime is for welders depending on skill level. Weekly pay, with the lowest positions getting at least 10$ an hour. However, there's a 4am wake up call that comes with the job, so if you're not a morning person pray they have a second shift open. They only have two shifts maximum. Either assert yourself, or deal with the fact that they'll walk all over you. Unfortunately they have a point system, even if you have a doctor's notice stating you're ill you still get marked, you can only be absent seven times a year. If you're absent too many times, it's an automatic termination.

just save yourself the time in applying and fine something that wont kill you for pennies and then make it impossible to walk into work each day with a positive attitude and outlook. your required to work most weekends even if they say you dont. and if you choose not to participate in extra time then your looked down upon and treated different. i worked driving a forklift which in itself is a easy task but between absolutely ridiculous safety policys that require drug screenings and 3 days suspension if something comes off your forks even if its 2 inches from the ground or if you slide on ice because were outside on solid ice with indoor forklifts. or when you go in to be a forklift driver and all the sudden your stuck painting because that was in your job description.

- You never know if you will be busy or slow due to managements poor communication and time management.
- I have learned some of the basic fundamentals to MIG welding, but due to lack of proper training, I'm lucky I learned anything past turning on my welder and pulling the trigger.
- Upper management at Manchester Tank  has no problems playing favorites to those who have no regard for the contract in place. They have shown that production is the only thing that matters; quality and safety become less and less important as time goes on.
-Working with the 120+ people here is like working with 120+ junior high girls.
- The hardest part of my job is tolerating stupid people.
-The most enjoyable part of the job is dropping my hood and welding.

Horrible....like I stated earlier....they do not give one E-I-oda about you....just hounding you day in and day out.

Stressful, depressed, belittled, upset

Enjoyed the hours 6-2 and it being a fast pace job made things go by. Machinery did cause a lot of shut downs tho..my day consisted of finding my coworkers mistakes on the propane tanks they build. My name went on every tank I sent out an inspection sticker to be specific. My day consisted of having to trust my coworkers was doing they job right everyday because I could only inspect the outside of the propane tank but I knew how they was built from the inside and out...My day consisted of pressure to hit rate everyday regardless if we was down from a machine for hours..I learned to conquer pressure and just work.

It's a good starting place to work, or get your "foot in the door" for factory purposes but there aren't really alot of options to grow as a employee in that company. It's simply waking up going to work getting what's asked of us done then heading home. There's little excitement or satisfaction in looking forward to the same thing every day for years of someone's life.
