MGS MFG. GROUP, INC

MGS is a good company for someone who needs to get by. It’s not a company for growth. If you aren’t a 9-5 you are given the bare minimum. Most holidays aren’t off. The 12 hour shift schedule is absolutely exhausting. If you work nights you never get a full true couple days off. The work there isn’t hard, but it’s the hours that make this job horrible. MGS does have perks like a soda machine, coffee, vending machines, clean and stable work environment. But the cons seem to out weigh that. The operators get paid so little and have so much work expected they are constantly leaving. There’s a lot of stress going on which makes the work environment harder to deal with. 
Think twice before committing yourself to this place. It’s a hard journey. If you like 12 hour shifts and like being bored this jobs perfect. But if you want fast paced regular hours this job will not be for you.

A typical 12-hour shift on your assigned station is as easy as it gets. Nothing particularly hard about the job either as long as you do what you're supposed to be doing and or what is asked of you. Management is great and communicate with the employees about any concerns or changes that are either happening with the company or if it's with you individually. workplace culture is great. No cultural discrimination at all. the hardest part of the job depends on what position you want as far as roles go. personally forklifting was a struggle point for me, but i was able to advance to a better fitting position for me. The most enjoyable thing was knowing I had the choice and job security to switch positions so I could excel and see what else I was great at.

MGS...where the only way to increase sales is to buy distressed companies and hope they stay afloat. Don't worry too management will take all the credit for increased sales and all profits will go to venture capital group who owns them. What a sad situation. No leadership from President, CFO or CEO, basically running blind on all fronts. People in all areas are quitting. They won't fire anyone as they need any and all bodies to run press's and rework bad quality parts for medical and automobile customers who are screaming every day.  The state of this place is the complacency and ignorance of its leaders for past 10+ years. Epitome of "good old boys club" and if you are family....well then you can write your own ticket, take any position you want. So sad.

While I have enjoyed and grown in my 9+ years with MGS it is my intention to relocate to the Madison. I have learned a great deal about myself and and the machine manufacturing business. A typical day includes inventory of machine parts, project budgeting, repairing, building and improving machines ordered by outside vendors worldwide. Both the management and employees of MGS are held to the highest of standards in the manufacturing world. The staff at MGS is forever evolving and keeping up with the latest manufacturing techniques. The hardest and most enjoyable part of my job are one in the same. It is both challenging and immeasurably rewarding to challenge myself daily on building the best, safest, and highly functional machines.

The work is not difficult, but the work is not distributed fairly. Over time is offered, but when other shifts do come work overtime. They are not given any real work on my shift anyhow. Everything is disorganized. There is a ridiculous over turn rate here, and they do not seem to care as they keep letting employees go. This is including managers. Complaints go unanswered, and ignored completely. My shift is has a max of 20 people working on my shift, but they have the audacity to have 100 machines running a night. There is no comfort here. The bigger bosses are rude. They do not care for the concerns, and or work conditions of their employees. As long we are pushing out product, they could careless.

I was mislead when I was hired on saying I would get schooling and all the training I needed but it never happened and what I was suppose to be doing ended up being a whole different job.
Insecurity with other employees that you would take they're job so they didn't want to work with you or show you anything. 
If your not one of the favorites with management you get all the dirty jobs.
Management acted like they had dementia they would tell you to do something then come along later and ask you why your doing that. 
The short time I worked there all I heard was about people quitting and the longer I worked there I seen why.

Company used to be great before it became MGS. Supervisors and Plant Managers are unprofessional and unethical. Good technicians, engineers, and operators that use to work there left the company; only very few that walk around and chit-chat with operators stayed. Place has constant customer quality rejects. Nothing good to say about this company - beside walking around doing nothing and get paid.

There is not room for more money. You start out at 14 an hour, that's what you'll be making for 10hours plus. Talking with some of the employees that have been there 10 plus years. They are still sitting at 14 dollars.  I wasnt shy about breastfeeding when I got hired on. I told everyone out on the floor. Molding machines dont stop so you have to have someone cover your breaks. well if you take to long they go right to HR. Yet it's alright for them to be on break for 30mins to an hour, when you only get 2 15min breaks and a 20min break. Watch out for certain people on the blue shift in certain areas. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The days off and the experience you gain.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing. The work is easy and relaxing.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
All for one and one for all. We help each other, we work together, our main goal is safety. Making sure you leave the way you came.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day for me is stress-free. I go to my area, set up everything I need to complete my tasks for that day.
