MODERN FORGE INDIANA

I have worked here for 8 years. I have to say that just about everyone here is friendly and a pleasure to work with. I have never met one manager or supervisor here that refused to help anytime they have been asked.
The benefits are good. The company even has an onsite clinic with a nurse practitioner for employees and their dependents to use (if we choose to) for only $5 per visit for minor illnesses & injuries, school physicals, medication, vaccines, and more. The company hosts family outings and parties for employees and their families. This company took Covid seriously and did all they could to keep their employees safe.
When new opportunities open up, the company will hire from within whenever possible before looking outside for new people.
Whether you work in the office or in the plant you can expect to get your hands dirty. That's just the nature of this environment. 
Overall, in my experience this has been a great place to work. 

*I have not been offered any incentives for posting this review. This is a true and accurate review of my experience.


Was told I would work one shift then that never happened. High expectations low reality experience. 6 days a week. Up early. Learning was a joke. Just showed you a bunch of buttons to press without real explanation as to why or how.  Training was stressful. Pretty impatient and expected you to telepathically know this stuff! Lol People overall were nice & kind but business wise,the place lacked any real strong structure. Not a total waste, got some forklift experience & o.h crane & very vague ideals of industrial metal forge shops but I think I would had been better waiting this one out before leaving my other job.
I would recommend looking elsewhere or looking really good into the position being offered to get a thorough understanding of what you need to be doing in that particular role. 

I have been a forging operator trainee here, this place is going downhill and causing a high turnover rate. The sad thing is that I use to like my job, but the pay and incompetence of the supervisors is causing me (and all other operator trainees) to leave. Almost everyone is apply non-stop to the steel mills and other places that start out higher than here. There is no advancement, and no incentive. If you wind up on 2nd shift, you might as well get use to your entry level pay, thats all youre staying at. 1st gets all the glory, but even that is dwindling. Soon enough this place wont have enough people to make parts. I wish this place would turn around but i just cant see it, i miss when i cared about my job.

Modern Forge care & value each employees, good safe place to work, good team works and advancement opportunities....yearly wellness check, In house clinic service, safety and service awards, yearly employees family Christmas party, free baseball game trip, BBQ luncheon etc

Modern Forge is a family owned company that has been continuously in business since 1914, over 100 years.
The company strives to stay competitive and diversified. The company is focused on re-investing into the business through equipment and new technologies. The maintenance and upkeep of the facility are measured and tracked weekly.
The plant floor is reflective of the industry and safety is a focused priority for all employees.
The company has hosted offsite events and lunch days for employee appreciation.
Overall it has been an organization that is focused on continuing its growth while maintaining its core strengths and is a positive environment to be a part of.

I have worked for Modern for more almost 20 yrs. I have seen and done a lot for this company. They have been great with helping me grow and learn new skills. This applies with my direct job duties and personal. They absolutely care about their employees. This is a fast paced manufacturing company. My direct managers have been great. I came in at a young age worked hard and learned from my mistakes. Throughout my career I have been given every opportunity to grow and become better. This is a great company to work for. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
If you like not having any time to rest then it's OK there

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The bosses do not care about the employees at all and only look out for themselves 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very poor they go through about 100 people a year 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Operating a forge press drive a forklift weigh parts up if unit goes down clean until it's fixed or go to another unit never rest

I've been at MFI for 7 years. I feel encouraged and supported by my direct manager. I have the opportunity to learn about each department through auditing, and I find it very intriguing to see what we make and then see those same things out in the community on equipment, vehicles, or motorcycles. There's not a lot of downtime throughout the day, but being busy helps the time to go fast. My coworkers have become close friends, so it's not hard to come to work every day.

If your not a supervisor on first shift and are trying to progress in the company, dont bother. There is to much favortism in the company and it shows through with who is in what position. If your on second shift, you get forgotten about and forget about the raises. If something happens 2nd gets blamed. The first shift Quality Control Supervisor is very entitled and it blatantly shows he gets what he wants to easily.

This place could careless if you come to work or not. They wanna pay you the minimal amount possible no matter how much you improve at your job or the loyalty you show to the company. The management was very poor and was honestly the most depressing place I have ever worked. They could careless about your home life and work you every Saturday no matter what deal they promise you because they will just go back on their word. I would never recommend anyone to ever work for this pitiful workplace
