MKD Electric

Truely has lost all potential of being a great company since the transition. Moral is terrible. Currently cannot stop the mass exit. MKD's lack of concern for the employee is immeasurable. Management is structured poorly, positions are based on nepotism etc. Management lacks actual real world experience. All Protocol and procedures change immediately after implementation. Office grossly understaffed and false promises made to ease the workload will never be fulfilled. So the harder you work, the more they push to compensate and your reward will be an even larger workload. Also there is the field teams inundated with unskilled temp. workers turning out poor quality job after job and someone is proud of this(money saver)!
   Long story short, Nope, do not recommend. Can be hostile, filled with nepotism, lack of organization and support, management basically "out of office", manpower shortages, poor bonus plans, no company outings or perks really, HR useless/zero benefits and plenty of dead weight to lug. Nothing but grief and a paycheck here. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no best part. There don't recognize the talent they had. Everyone who works there eventually leaves and finds another job. There'd also known for lying and making promises they don't keep.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No hours and being away from your family for months at a time. Apprentice running journey men, and messing up jobs.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good ol boy club, if you not in the in crowd you won't be working there long, the good ol boys really ran this company in the ground.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
They call you a days before sending you one the other side of town, sometimes 60-70 miles one way. They will hv you drive pass a job by your house to completely drive a hour away.

This company claims to be family- orientated and by that they mean it's a father-son duo that have absolutely no idea how to run a business. Day to day excessive work loads with barely enough pay to keep up with rising costs of living keep you trapped, feeling you need to keep working to advance and the promise to grow. There is no work-life balance here. Leadership consistently points blame on shared services for their mistakes. This place is a JOKE. After a massive layoff today of office support and shared services employees, I am one of the couple kept in my department. Let's just say we are ALL updating our resumes.

Can be a pain.  Corn plant, very dirty and smelly place most of the time.  Very busy place.  No two days are the same.  Management is accessible, but no whining allowed.  Can ge a tough place to work.  Have to watch out for Ingredion employees looking to get a bonus if they catch you not following Ingredion safety procedures.  They will walk you outta the plant.  Very regimented routines there.  Must obtain work permits for everything you do there.  There are some good people to work with there, but some bad ones too.  Just have to pay attention.  Really smelly and dirty in the plant though.  Money is decent.

This company has a lot of great people, but the policies and procedures either do not exist or they are very poor. They hire and promote people in the field and in the office who do not have much relevant experience, which makes it very difficult for the people who DO have the relevant work experience. The compensation wasn't too bad and it was nice working from home, but the daily frustrations and lack of adequate support makes workiny here 
 unnecessarily stressful. You are better off avoiding this company for the sake of your mental health.

MKD used to be a great place to work at but as the company has grown at all costs it has created lots of problems. Lots of managers are in positions that they aren’t qualified for. No clearly defined process and procedures company wide. It very much depends on what department you work in and most are run terribly. New employees are given no guidance, it’s very much sink or swim. Turn over is extremely high in the company. Pay is competitive but doesn’t offset the bad working environment.   As the CEO moves closer to retirement it’s clear his successor is running the company into the ground. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
No merit based advancement.  It's all about who you know, and who you sucked up to.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They promote apprentices to foreman level who aren't ready for it.  The foreman do nothing while taking credit for other's work.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, the are several cliques, and if you aren't in one, they get rid of you.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go to work, do your job, get zero credit for a good day's work, go home.

They promote the unqualified and incompetent instead of getting rid of them, they have far too many people in upper management and middle management and not enough people to do the actual work that needs to be done. Benefits are awful UHC you start with 1 week of PTO get to 2 weeks after a year and then you have to wait 5 years to get another week. They feed you BS about promoting from within but most middle and upper management was hired from outside the company to that level. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Welcoming environment cultivated by department management. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Departments don’t always communicate needs to each other causing problems when projects are being done across multiple departments 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Overall positive and welcoming

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start at 8 work on assigned tasks and start on newly assigned ones as they arise, lunch around 12-1p out the door by 5

Hardest part of the job:  Forman over unskilled,  non English speaking temporary workers.. Best part I actually met a few good men and women trades men.  Mgmt only cares about  them selves.   Don't bother going to a PM with a problem.   You'll just get shot down.  I ask to be placed on a job close to home in KY but was told I had to go to AZ.  They had work within 6hrs of home in KY but I was told I was going ither to MO or AZ.  No I'm not.  I QUIT.
