MESTEK INC

What is the best part of working at the company?
The work schedule is the best part of working at that company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The pay is terrible for the amount of work they expect out of you. You’re putting in real labor and not getting compensated anywhere near what you should be.

Management is unorganized and doesn’t seem to care about employees at all. There’s little to no communication, and you’re basically left to figure everything out yourself. It creates a stressful and frustrating environment every single day.

The job overall is draining, underpaid, and not worth it. If you have other options, take them. This place will use your time and energy without giving you anything back in return.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Biggest red flag:
	•	Pay and benefits rated 1.0 / 5  ￼
	•	Little to no room for:
	•	Advancement
	•	Job security
	•	A lot of people feel underpaid for the   workload
	•	Doesn’t feel like a “team” environment:
	•	Low sense of belonging
	•	Low trust in management and coworkers  
	•	“Not a good workplace environment”
	•	Main stress = dealing with management  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Draining and stressful and they don’t appreciate you

The reviews on here seem to be unfair - two sides to every story.  Core Values were developed in 2020 - Strive to be communicative, creative, compassionate, and courageous.  There has been restructuring and realignment of positions within the organization in the past year.  Mestek Machinery is very successful and has been in the area for over 50 years.  Many of the employees have worked their 25+ years. Turnover rate seems to be average and recently a lot of retirements. The relationship between the union and the company is positive.  Management has a weekly meeting that anyone can attend and present their ideas.  Stay interviews were performed in 2022 and leadership is working on implementing more positive changes for work/life balance.  Good company to promote within.  Machine Building/Assembly, CNC/Mastercam, Field Service Techs, Quality, Engineering, Sales, HR, Purchasing, Service, Accounting, IT.  Wages are competitive for some positions and could be improved in other positions.  Great place for interns - managers work well with interns and teach them marketable job skills.  Skill and leadership training is encouraged and paid for by the company.

Mestek Inc is old school which is not necessarily a bad thing but the company would do well to work on their work culture. It would behoove all to foster more cooperation among everyone. There is a tendency to bring the best of the population here down and the worst of the population here seems to be tolerated instead of corrected and improved upon. There is not enough employee development and they do not seek to promote talent by cultivating advancement opportunities for people who display mastery in their field. It is a very stable company with very little turnover and work/ life balance is excellent as if a person needs a day off or has an appointment it is very flexible.

Mestek; to me, started out as a pretty ok place of employment, when it while it was under the old management. Two years into me working there, new management had taken over and then the working conditions started to go down-hill from there, pretty much. And now everyday seems more dreadful than the last because of the way it is managed, how they treat the employees and no chance career advancement at all. I can say that I DO love my job title and what I do from day to day, I just wish it was at another company because once again, the work environment is very stressful and filled with a lot of drama.

Mestek is an older company recognizing newer technology and frequently bring in young engineers to advance their product lines.

In the positions that I held over 20 years with Mestek, I was given the autonomy to make my charges successful. Budgets were tight. It could be a challenge to promote something new with limited funds. Once able to show some success, we could get access to more resources. There was encouragement and assistance when sought. 

The years in Business Development were my most rewarding.

I would not recommend this job to any young adults. Race plays a big part at this job. If you're from out of state, you will be judge and looked at different. Any ideas you bring to your boss or supervisor isn't taken into consideration. Made a beginners book to how to learn your products. Company let me go and took the book and made it theirs. Alot of new hires get treated differently compared to older hires. Noone is treated equally. 

Management is very incompetent and they hired quite a few new workers that 1/2 them are incompetent as well. If you enjoy a chaotic work place and you don’t have a clue this is your dream job. Lol  Lead man walks around most of the day with his safety glasses on top of his head instead of protecting his eyes = brain dead!!  Union is in bed with company.  Senior employees have a huge advantage over the new hires in the retirement plans.  Most enjoyable part of the day is leaving for the day. 

Such a disorganized atmosphere. There’s no rhyme or reason to anything. I expected to be at this company forever but sadly was overlooked because I was not in relation to anyone currently working there. My ex manager made my life so stressful and that’s the case with almost every department. Please don’t work here unless you’ve exhausted every other option and you’re about to be thrown out on the streets.

I really enjoyed working in a plant for the first time. Responsibilities are divided equally,  and there is good room for doing your task the way you want to do it. I was hired to build skids (wooden pallets) so that work was most labor intensive from what I saw everyone else doing. I was hired under a Temp. Job Agency, therefore I did not get any of Mestek's benefits. I was up at 5 am every day to make it to work at 7 am (46 minute commute). Home by 4:30 pm. I enjoyed the constant schedule and hard work.

This was part time volunteer work helping to raise AKC certified Golden Retriever puppies for our family business. We monitored the births, daily I cleaned their pen, I walked the mother and pups, and fed them daily. I also helped market and sell the pups: taking photos, creating slide shows with music, posting them on the internet for our clients to watch their pup grow before it was delivered.
