MARMEN INC.

If you want to be lured in with promises of a balanced life with the 5/4 schedule, only to realize you need to work a ton more than expected, this is a perfect fit. They are misleading throughout the entire hiring process. Everything from the pay rate to the schedule to the job description and the payout of their relation assistance. HR does a disastrous job of actually relaying any of that info properly until you're already there and locked in. It took over half a year to get the pay and schedule I agreed to at the time of hire. 
They cut safety corners at every possible opportunity. The culture is number driven and the people who are employed there are just that: numbers. The hourly guys are cool and decent enough, but the supervisors are mostly snakes looking to hide their own misdeeds by throwing yours under the bus. They smoke when they aren't supposed to and ask you to bend or break safety regulations, while making sure you are reprimanded heavily if you're ever caught. 
This is another prime example of a company that doesn't even follow its own mission statement or principles it preaches to its employees. 
Benefits are solid but honestly not worth the headache. Look elsewhere as there is a TON of other places to work for better pay and similar benefits. Pass on marmen!

Honestly the pay is ridiculous and very high. The benefits are actually really nice and health plans cover extensively including name brand prescriptions that almost all companies previously would not cover any. Dental and eye package is great too, covers more then usual. The schedule is absolutely horrible. The Ceo/owner will not let go of this 5-4 schedule and it ruins the whole career path unless you are expecting to move up farther then production floor base positions. You would work 5am to 5pm for 5 days then take off 4 days so that you can adapt your body to then go to 5pm go 5am for 4 days. Sleep is the most important way to treat your own body and health. Everything in your health is reflected on sleep, so if you don't mind feeling like a zombie for bomb pay and benefits for the family then forget this career. People are decent but most of your managers have never had a real job and most likely just graduated from a general bachelor's degree. But they do pay for relocations as well even from cross country.

Marmen prides themselves on employee benefits and competitive wages, but after working here you'll see that's just a marketing technique in finding new employees, for very few people stay here longer than a year. There starting wage is fair for the area, but raises are low and few. Long term employees often complain they havent been compensated for their time and efforts. It's easy to get a job here, but hard to keep, so if you plan on traveling a long ways you're taking a gamble since they let go of employees during slow production times. Welders do more grinding than welding and inspectors are pinned mostly on visual inspections. The reimbursement they offer is paid slowly over the duration of 6 months. Would recommend if you're fresh into fabrication and need experience, but only as a last resort.

Overall, my experience at Marmen Energy was good. The co-workers tend to look out for each other. Supervisors tend to push harder then needed, but it does look good on the whole shift. Management is very understanding, and will work with you as much as possible. Sometimes, they will do more then what’s required. They always have outings to boost morale. They do not stand for discrimination, and will deal with it with. Two managers stood out to me the most. They were both out of the quality department. There organization was above and beyond. Making it the most organized department I’ve worked for. If it wasn’t for my circumstances, I’d still be working with them.   

There is no opportunity to advance, raises are far and few between. The work schedule makes no sense whatsoever switching from day to night shifts. They care very little about long term employees and they aren’t compensated for their loyalty. They can hire people easily by getting their hopes up, but red flags were being thrown everywhere. They can’t keep employees for more than a year. This is a very entry level job that will work you like a slave for 12 hours a day. Management is utter garbage and needs to be replaced. Do not work here if you have a family or a social life, they couldn't  care less about your family. It just like a gas station, people come and go everyday.

12 hour days starting at 5am 
Team based culture within your department. However most departments and management do not communicate efficiently with each other which creates hardships on the floor employees.
Management is supportive and does not regularly acknowledge new ideas or changes.
Management is extremely shortsighted and problem oriented instead of solution oriented.
The immediate co-workers are great to work with and benefits are fantastic.
I would not recommend someone with a family to work here.

Day shift work starts before dawn and end close to dusk, the next week you work night shift which starts close to dusk and ends before dawn. I gained more experience in welding and in working at heights by working on wind turbines. I was never in contact with anyone from management but, from the hours and the drug use going on in the parking lot, I would give them zero stars. The workplace is decent if you don't mind working your butt off, becoming sleep deprived and putting a strain on your family life, I would highly recommend this company.

If want to be a hard working get the job done Certified  Welder than Marmen energy is NOT the career for you. Full of lies an the supervisors and management do not manage at all. They disapear for hours, leaving the employee to Grind with a 4lb grinder for 6-12hr a day and tack weld hundreds of pits and hole's while preheating every tack weld when the torches don't reach the length of the section worked on therefore impossible to follow their quality procedures.

On the job training is top notch and leadership takes their time to make sure everyone knows how to do their job correctly. Marmen has strong company values and prides themselves on their quality product. Company culture is very good because Marmen takes their time with who they hire. Competitive wages, relocation reimbursement, reviews & raises, amazing benefits, and 401k are all offered. Employees work hard and learn a lot while working here.

It’s not a place to try to move up. There is no upward movement. The factory setting and being production driven the quality of life there is not the best. They love to micromanage and they have to many supervisors that are nothing to do. The place is always dusty and fumes cover the whole plant. I’m not sure about the air quality. I would not recommend to work here unless you just need good benefits. The pay is less than at similar facilities, and they don’t give good raises comparatively.
