What is the best part of working at the company?
Steady pay and benefits

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There's a lot of cliquey-type stuff there. It's very apparent either you fit in or you don't and the ones that don't don't stay very long.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was seemingly very friendly at first, but then after being there for longer than a month I started to realize there is alot of cutthroat type people there

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Pretty much the same every day. I was only trained and hired to work one specific part. Can be extremely monotonous. And when I tried to expand my horizon by inquiring about being trained on other parts around the shop, I was told that I was specifically trained and hired for one thing and that if I got hired on as full-time employee then I would eventually work other parts....

Started work with a paper with company name, product and part number. Matched up serial numbers to paper. Logged onto computer for further processing instructions. Processed parts on Stainless or Aluminum Chemical Line for cleaning.When finished took parts to cleanroom or further testing or processing. Also took parts to shipping. The Management was very informative. My co-workers were very helpful in training and were easy to get along. The hardest part was the heavy parts. Pushing 500 lb parts on wheeled carts was hard at first, till I got muscles built up. I enjoyed the co-workers the most. The hours were also nice.
I also performed Waste Treatment when needed.

Do not work for this company. I was hired on a contract basis for the AP department. Had a bout 2.5 days of training on a very complex accounting software. The "team" was always not there, vacation, working remote, sick, etc. Excessive meetings that were never productive. Emails like I have never seen. Get up and communicate to the other person. This department was a revolving door, now I see why. No wonder this dept. is so far behind, and endless vendors are cutting them off from orders. Seems you need to be in a "click" with them or you will not last. 

I rate this company 5 Stars. The pay may not be what I want but this company actually cares about they're workers. I started there as a temp, but they took they're time and taught me what I needed to know.  I have also been given a chance to continue to work there because I messed up. But they gave me a chance and I haven't looked back. This company cares about its workers . There are people here that has been here all numbers of years including me. So when I say great place I mean a great place for everyone there and those future employees.

Everyday is something different in the shipping department. One day you're stocking boxes or organizing storage and the next your packing government contracted orders by the dozens. It's an exhausting and physically demanding job but you rarely do these things by yourself. Safety and cleanliness are major priorities in the job because the shipping department represents the company due to it being the last step in the process. The beginning of the month is slow and the end of the month is really busy.

For the most part the job is great,  except management has outdated views of what success means and is completely out of touch with modern employee needs.  Limited work life balance. Management believes that you're either in the office working or your at home goofing odd.

Upper management only cares about lining the pockets of the owner's immediate and extended family members, not the health or mental well-being of its employees.

Management does not know what they are doing, that's why they have layoffs on a yearly basis, sometimes two in a row, and they use it to let go people they don't like, you will survive only if you are part of the little circle, if one of them does not like you, you are gone, no matter how long you have work for them, or how skill you are, if you get on their bad side, you are out, no questions ask, the owner is a good person but he has no clue what's going on, on his own company, co-workers are good, no incentives

communicating with the customers on a daily basis. checking status on there products and updating internal and external spreadsheets

I worked well with my co-workers daily. we counted on each other on a daily basis, 

had management meetings as needed. whether to update priorities or monthly money projections.

The most enjoyable part of the day way was when the customer's parts were delivered and on time. The hardest part of the day was when the customer needs were not met,

What is the best part of working at the company?
Always something new going on. You can never stop learning. People are very nice to work with.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
New jobs, close tolerances. Big set ups. Good machines.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good environment, good benefits. Good people.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Able to put in your time. Sometimes putting 12 hours. Most important thing is seeing how good you did that day. Makes you feel proud on what you acomplish.
