Do not work here! If you need money they will give it to you. If you need time off they won't. You will work 10/12 hours a day and every weekend. Mandatory 6 days! So don't plan anything if you have a family. If you are a regular employees plan on different mood swing coming from management, supervisors, and your team leads. Yes all them bosses that doesn't know what each other does but tries to tell you what to do. You will end up doing your job plus more. Team leads will act like supervisors so you will do their job too!. Supervisors and managers will just watch you work and not help. Need material moved or something simple? They will watch you struggle and tell you to hurry or why isn't the machine working. They will put a supervisor over you and doesn't even know how to do your job or turn on a machine. Very frustrating job! No education in supervision or management jobs, so when its time to cut throat you are on the line. No matter what it's all your fault and maybe even fire you. It could be something they tell you to do. But, you are not in meeting to talk for yourself. Very dirty place in people and environment. You get no vacation! Well you do but you want 3 weeks? Stay for 10 years you want a week? Stay for a year. You want 2 weeks? Well 5 years good luck. You can be cought up with your work and still work weekends. The front office 90% of the time doesn't work weekend and will tell you, that you have to work. If they do work its half day.  Anyone with education runs from that place because it's like how to manufacture for dummies book. The answer for them fixing anything is to just make them work. 

A normal day consisted of working 10 hours a day plus Saturdays. I averaged between 3-5 meetings a day. I learned everything I know about manufacturing at Mancor. 
  The past year or so, management has done a 180 from where it used to be 2 GM's ago. Now it seems like HR is running the place because the GM is out of office over 50% of the time. When he is in, the guy had no balls and made all his decisions through his phone or someone else. 
  The co-workers were fun and mostly enjoyable. There were a few bad apples that seemed impossible to get rid of. They would rather lay off a 10 year supervising veteran than someone who has been there for 3 years that caused problems on a regular basis. 
  The hardest part of my job was juggling what was important today. The day to day goals were always like a revolving door. One day this is important, the next it's something else, and the next something else. Then you get yelled at the falling behind on the activity that was important 2 weeks ago that was never talked about again since the first time. 
  The most enjoyable part of the job for me was achieving goals, making improvements, and saving money. The sad part about all this, is I was never given any credit by management because they had no clue what I did on a day to day basis.

I worked there a couple years back, they machine cast iron truck parts, cast iron is Brutal on tooling and the machines, everything is an interrupted cut, so the sound the machines make is similar to the sound of a machine gun !!!  It is Deafening !! I believe there is ways to make the cutting process quieter, but if that means going slower, i'm sure the company would say NO ....theres over 25 machines churning away all day and night, the building is not Air conditioned, so you will sweat !! You will breathe plenty of cast iron dust, coolant mist/steam/oil, they do not have a CMF system (CoolantMistFiltration). As an operator, all you do is load parts, and change carbide inserts on the cutting tools, a LOT of inserts !!   
I wish someone in management would get the whole building Air Conditioned, and make changes to the mfg. process to reduce noise and make the machining smoother, it can be done with some creative programming and toolpaths and better tooling and fixturing.

Like working for any other company,  there are ups and downs. Bottom line is it's a job.  My experience at was that if you show show up on time, ask questions and show just a little bit of genuine interest, they will pick up on that and the company will in turn start vesting in you.  If you are the type of person who wants to know how to your job and not just what button to push. Then you will like working there.  For example the they just recently started sending Operators to Ivy Tech for college level tech classes totally on the company's tab.  Also if you see a better way of accomplishing a task, they will actually LISTEN and take action. I experienced first hand on how the company is always investing in continuous improvement. If you want to verify that my experience there is true, just ask anyone working who was the Quality Tech who always was drinking Monsters.  Good Luck.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The co workers and the company were the best part of the job. I loved the job, it was just way too many hours for me and the pay is average. In order to have a decent check you have to work 7 days a week. The overtime was mandatory not optional. It’s ok to just get caught up on some things real quick but a 7 days a week schedule was too much no break to look forward to.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You work 7 days a week. You might get one day a month off unless you use vacation or take a point.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s kind of diverse mostly Spanish environment but everyone for the most part is kind.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A lot of heavy lifting working with very oily tools was the bad part but overall the job wasn’t bad.

Production shop, very repetitive
Great place to learn and gain initial experience
The management is probably the worst part about this place they have no idea about machining and what is involved just demanding with daily quotas and schedule for mandatory overtime. Always trying to get as much as they can out of every employee.
Co-Workers were probably the best part about work, the guys are great there and have fun. Its the only reason you would miss or would not want to leave.
The hardest part about the job is holding up to the demands of management, working in the heat, working without all necessary tools.
Most enjoyable part of the job is the co-workers, and the times when you can relax and supervisors aren't bothering you on the off shifts.

Mancor was an opportunity that I regret having to leave behind to deal with legal and personal obligations.

If you like to really work for your money, Mancor is for you.  Management is more than fair with expectations from employees.  Training, done on the job, is done well and immediate supervisors work with you to 
make sure that you will understand the job.

Start this job and advance from the floor up.

Just one critical remark.  Management is not receptive to ideas regarding ways to improve production.  Flow control gets backed up due to lack of communication and accepting personal responsibility for failures hampers meeting deadlines.l.

Mancor is an ok job that pays very well for mig welding, the place seems great when you're first going into it until you have been there a few months. Then the disorganization and the poor management starts to really show. Things like informing you that you have the weekend off on Thursday for you toi come in on Friday and they tell you "you have to work Saturday and sunday" because maybe other shifts didn't get the work done, or showing to find out that your area doesn't have parts so you're standing around and being moved all over because they can't find out what they need you to do. With that being said it's a decent job, but could be 20 times better if there was a shake up in the management

Nice people to work with on the floor.  Very high turnover rate of employees.  Employees not valued.  Very low pay for all except management.  Very typical for them to hire than fire or layoff.  All part time employees get paid the same no matter what kind of job description you have.  No set evaluations or merit raises.  

I thought I was hired to do accounts payable and receptionist.  
Ended up having to do tooling also. Job posted at one pay scale but offered at another.  ($2 less an hour.)  Not uncommon for people to be very upset with each other and yelling.  A lot of foul language used.  Lunch area very nasty.  

Best part of job and why I stayed as long as I did was it was 5 minutes from home.

There is a pay cap. Once you reach it you're done. And it doesn't take long. Perhaps a good place for entry level to the craft of welding or a place for the older guys to retire. Extremely limited opportunities for advancement. More often than not what you're hired for is what you will do your entire career at the company. Meaning same machine, part or process the entire time. Unfortunately they have a lot of missed opportunity. Could be a much better place with very little effort. New management has tried to improve the conditions during summer months. Mostly summer is plus 5 degrees inside. Winter is about the same as outside.
