ME ELECMETAL

I've learned the hard way that upper management doesn't care about their employees, because they know that they can do whatever they want, and, if you don't like it, it's too bad because there's always someone else waiting to take your place. I was hired through their temp agency, put in the required hours to be hired direct. I've had a problem getting a copy of my GED, as I took it in 1979, but was still working on it. Lower management decided to over look it and hired me anyways. On a Wed. they hired me, and, put me through orientation, and on that Fri. called me in, after working all night, and fired me because I couldn't produce my GED. I was told it wasn't because of my work, or, attendance, but simply because of the GED. I asked if I was able to bring it in, could I get my job back?(I've been working with the school where I took it, and they were searching for my records). I was told that I would have to go through the temp service again, and, put in 520 hours in again. So I am out of work because of this, and, it means nothing to them as they have probably already filled my place. Again, they have no problem doing this as everybody there is expendable. Not a company that cares about their workers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is not much good about this Employer Or the working environment.
Well, they do have Blue Cross Blue Shield, Health Insurance and they are a Union company. You don't have to buy in to the Union to receive Union benefits.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working around huge pots of molten metal is stressful. A very loud place to work. The hazards include, of course molten metal as I previously stated but also The risk of lung silicosis, Heavy metals in the air. Hearing loss from high-decibel noise. And the trip hazards abound more than any other place I've ever worked at. The management does not care about safety at all.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This is not a career company. It is a place where people come to work because they hope to be paid well. But they quickly leave because the hazards are much more than the earnings.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Reluctantly show up on time. Get beat to death by the working environment or management and then leave as quickly as possible and find a new job.

I worked for this company for 6 years. In that time I have witnessed hundreds of people come through and leave; either quit or fired. Be prepared for impossible expectations daily and when the expectations are not met; be prepared to be verbally accosted. The ONLY priority of upper management is tonnage per day. They want you to work as fast as possible, but don’t hurt yourself, and also produce top quality products. The nature of the job leaves these things mutually exclusive of each-other. Never-the-less, WHEN you fail to CONSTANTLY achieve this… upper management will let you know at the same time as mandating at least 2 out of 4 Saturdays (on top of working 5 regular 10-12 hour shifts). I could go on and on about the cons to working here… but they have wasted enough of my life. Last note: approach any recruitment advertising with extreme critical thinking. Do your research and you won’t be disappointed… maybe.

What is the best part of working at the company?
High pay. The only place that pays better with no education is the railroad. But they give you faulty equipment to use, then fire you when it fails and you get hurt. Their model for keeping employees is super flawed, then they wonder why when they get rid of their experienced employees why they can't make quota. Joke. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No work life balance, faulty equipment that will get you UA'ed when it fails on you. Managers that don't help on the floors no matter how far behind you are. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile. Have to live on your tippy toes

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Nonstop use of faulty 8 inch grinders, pneumatic plug grinders, jackhammers, and various heavy equipment.

I am proud to be an employee of ME Global and am very happy to have found a job that I love with a company that respects their employees and supports growth from within.  My coworkers are great and management is very down to earth, they listen to and appreciate input from all areas of the facility.  Everything runs like a well-oiled machine, from Production, Operations, QA, Maintenance and Support Staff, we all support each other and work together to get the job done.

upper management at ME Global is cutthroat, deceitful,lying, and more concerned about writing employee's up than about production. You have no life outside work as you will be told that you have to work weekends on Thursday. As a supervisor, we were told by the Manager of supervisors, that we could be terminated on a regular basis. The level of turn over was ridiculous, both through quits and terminations.  Most supervisors felt that on any given shift, it could be their last. The manager of supervisors was more concerned with his own self interest than helping us work toward production goals. It is a dirty dangerous environment without the mind games management plays with you. I wouldn't recommend anyone to work for ME Global!

Things that have occurred at this plant should be known before consideration.

They have built a cutthroat environment for hourly employees. The upper management puts all the supervisors and engineers in the middle.

You will be treated based on what you can achieve. This job drags others down. 

Unattainable quotas so that you are easily disposable.

Most employees do not make it past a year and if they do they try to quit.

It has been mentioned before in many of the other reviews the dangers and stress of the job. Not one of the reviews exaggerates the issues you will endure.


First off you can tell the good reviews here are by HR. There's no room for growth or opportunity to advance. They don't train you on things and then you get written up for not knowing these things. Every employee is super unhappy and have a fear of being terminated for minimal reasons. Guys call in sick just to get a day off. They use and manipulate the current union contract to move guys around and overwork everyone. By far, the most uncomfortable job I've ever had.. you might think the pay is worth it. It's not. 

ME Global is a horrible environment to work in.  In my 2 1/2 years working there, as a production supervisor, I saw 10 -12 other supervisors, either let go or quit. Upper management has a culture of lying, deceit, and general untrust. It is a set up for failure.  Its not a matter of if you will be let go but when.  Most supervisors felt that on any given day, it could be their last. We were often told this by the acting manager of supervisors. I believe that management feels that if they pay you well, you can be treated this way.  It is a relief to no longer work for ME Global.

I was a temp for 3 months, there was plenty of OT to go around and the overnight shift crew was a good bunch of people, the day shift crew was OK as well aside from the supervisor in my area, or as he called himself 'the overseer of everything on this side of the plant'. Don't make a mistake or he will hear of it and hold it over you, or terminate your probationary employment after only two weeks and no other incidents. 
This place is seemingly always short-handed so everyone gets OT so the checks are great.
