Material in Motion

I've been with this company 5 yrs. It is overall an okay company to work for. The production room is catered to, so there are far more opportunities for advancement if you work in the production room. It's also very fast-paced & high pressured environment. If you work in the warehouse and are looking to move up quickly, don't count on it unless you know somebody that can pull strings for you. The warehouse is pretty laid-back, but that can cause laziness and people can tend to move with no urgency. You can start small but quickly move up to high-ranking positions with great pay. I've witnessed people go from ground level into management positions in very short time frame. A good resume can speak volumes here. One thing that is kind of weird with this company, is that you will work for an Outsourcing company full-time, not MIM. You work AT MIM, not FOR MIM even though you technically work for MIM if that makes sense. There are only select people that are actually hired on directly to MIM and it can be very political as to who gets hired on to MIM unless you are in maintenance, automation, quality etc. You can grow at this company, but networking is going to be your biggest bet. Know the important people. CEO's and high profile individuals frequent the facility all the time. Bump shoulders with the ones that can put you in position to be Great. Your name is your face card, so stay out and away from situations that mean you no good, it'll follow you like your permanent record trust me. This company could really use a work from home program. More so throughout all of the changes and risks being brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has put in a lot of preventative measures to reassure employees (Some effective & some not so much) but it is what it is they have done whatever it takes to keep everybody employed and making money. Benefits are reasonable all depending on what you sign up for. 401k? No comment. Hrs vary, schedules vary, overtime is almost a certainty. Overall I give MIM an 7 on scale of 1-10.

I worked for Material In Motion for over a year. The management was hired from XPO Logistics who lost their contract with MIM. Why a company would hire management from a company who has already proven their incompetence is crazy. The management has no idea what they're doing. The job culture is terrible, poor communication, no training, write-ups at the drop of a hat for things you were never told about, and clueless management. The turnover is terrible, and job security is non-existent. At any time they can and will just get rid of people, you come in daily to new employees and will never know who you are working with from day to day. There are no benefits, no paid time off, difficult to get days requested off approved, and the health insurance is almost impossible to afford with the pay rate. Job/work balance is not good either. Mandatory overtime with less than 24 hour notice, followed by several days of being sent home due to lack of work is very common. It is rare to actually get to work a full 40 hour week, and paychecks fluctuate due to the lack of planning to make sure there is consistent work. This is also one of the lowest paid warehouse jobs in the area. We also only would receive one 45 minute break for an 8 hour shift, instead of the usual 2 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch. There is also NO grace period to clock in. One minute late results in a 1 point penalty. After 16 points in a year you are fired. Call-outs are 3 points PER DAY, and going home early is 1 point. I would definitely not recommend anyone working for this company.

How can you be a lead, but don't know how to guide. This company have a lot of favoritism going on, and point fingers at you based on what others say about you. Production manager has a very nasty attitude, very rude, and very unconcerned about issues being brought to him. Certain individuals are treated special for whatever reason, and no matter how good your job performance is, there are certain ones who isn't appreciated for what they do. I like my job at MIM, I'm trying to keep advancing, but my department can't keep a supervisor, and work policies aren't being enforced enough by the lead, and employees wont stay in compliance, and a lot of IQN's are steady hitting this department due to talking, playing, and no one taking their job serious enough to even care about it. Leadership is a mess. Anyone can get a promotion, problem is everyone isn't fit to have it. Too many giants, and wanna be bosses to the point where everyone thinks they know your job more than you do, and will try to pull you down from it just because they feel as though you aren't qualified to have it. Certain managers favor certain individuals more than others, and  will listen to what they say about you, and will start trying to demote you (even though it's not true) without even questioning you about anything. I feel that if an employee isn't on a certain level, they should have a meeting with you to let you know what the problem is, so it can be fixed. This is the mature way of handling any issues.

MIM is not a company worth pursuing. They have no respect for work life/home life balance.
Saturday's have been mandatory shifts since before Christmas due to lack of weekend staffing.
Six day work weeks (8-10 hour shifts) are the norm.

Employee moral is low to say the least. Work ethic and teamwork lacks overall and the poor management and constantly modified policies add fuel to this fire.

MIM Advancement opportunities are non existant if your current position is hard to fill. 
When you approach management about advancement or to try another open position expect to be blown off.

MIM does not hire to their company. They bring temps from local agencies on board if they survive their trial period to another temp. agency contracted by them for "fulltime permanent" status.

There is no prompt or open communication from MIM Management to their team.
They continually preach about communication yet fail to practice what they preach.

Often times MIM is known to run out of parts and you will then be expected to "look busy".
Things you do in these weeks include taping the floor multiple times, cleaning the same stations repeatedly, and walking around aimlessly attempting to look busy or fear being written up by the Supervisor.

There is so much more I could say on MIM but I think you get the idea.

Please take this into consideration when deciding whether MIM is a company you want to associate with.

This job was very unprofessional. I worked at Material In Motion as a cabler for about five months. This was my first warehouse experience, and I believe I can actually say it was a terrible experience. Being that this was a warehouse job the enviroment was very dramatic and messy. It was like going to high school all over again. The work wasn't very difficult but I will say that there is no actual training; there was more watching, learning and asking coworkers questions than anything. The work floor was consumed with  drama and lacked respect. The management was very poor, they seemed to be in the position because of the money and not actually helping build a positive work environment. I worked a 10 hour shift and only had a hour break, really forty five minutes. It really didn't feel long at all, had to leave the building and make it to your car and through the parking lot quickly so it was a lot. I personally believe an hour and a half would be great. I was assaulted at this job as well, and that situation was handled so poorly. Also the mandatory overtime was crazy because 2nd shift seemed to be the only shift working, my shift. We did all the work and had to do overtime on our days off. Overall the money is the only good thing about this job, the work wasn't bad but you can't succeed in a place full of drama and you don't have a voice. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
None. The treatment you get from superior leaders (who have been in the military or prior law enforcement) . They speak to their employees as if they don't care if you stay employed at the job site or quit. No respect for others at all. Lack of work. Having to stand around most days from start time to clock out time  wiping desks, tables, or sweeping floors that 3/4 other employees have already cleaned. This has been going on since June 2023. Very boring.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with those in leadership roles who abuse their authority. Some speak down to you instead of building you up.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible at times. Supervisor speaks to employees as if he is still in the military. Degrading everyone as if they are not adults. The use of his language when he speaks to people.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Boring since June. No work. Work was good at the beginning of the year but since June it's been lots of standing around doing nothing but cleaning for 10hrs. Not given the option to work in another area if you want to.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They are the absolute worst! The management doesn't know how to manage. They are placed in positions based on how cool they are with the decision maker. HR doesn't really do any HR things; they are there for decoration.  Payroll department toys with people's money and PTO all the time. This company has really bad Google reviews for good reason. The pay is the only decent thing about this job. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with management which are basically a bunch of children trying to figure out how to run a company. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Aggravating. People come there and soon leave, many, the same day. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I go in to work. Listen to my lead give the daily gripes and complaints  from my supervisor and manager because they are never there to tell us themselves. There is never really any positive feedback from them. So after they've made us upset for the day, at the beginning of our shift, then, we get to work on projects that they saved just for us from a prior shift.


Guys don t go working here!!! Even if the payment seems go.. dont do it!! Believe me!!! There is something really weird in this company.... they seems they care about people but they care just about people that are working there since ages, if its not like this for you you will be not a respectfull pleace in which work and you will be never feel inclusive. Moreover if something will happen between you and " one of the old one" you already know that they will press you, they will not understand you and they will alao try to borrow you job as much as they can to willing you to quit!!!! In this environment all the people are not the same.
 Supervisor are not fair at all and they don t teach you anything!!! One of them offense me on my second days saying that I was not a passionated worked!!!! Yes she know already!!! If you want to find a job that give you satisfation don t come here!! Believe me! do not come to work for this company if you are looking for a good company to trust for!!! . Or At least if you dont want to fell your self under stress at any time. ...

 



Do not work for this company unless your looking for a quick check. They do not care if you have life outside of work they do not tell you they have Mandatory overtime until you sart working on the floor, and they'll have you doing Mandatory overtime from Monday through Saturday no exceptions so if you had something to do on your suppose to be day off meaning Saturday say good bye to that. 

If you have any type of health issue they do not care I repeat they do not care all they care about if you can come to work and how long you can stay. that job is for ppl who are ages between 18-23 year old the manger act like kids and think they can talks to you any type of way they don't believe in respect

P.s

This company plays with your money as well so if the company shuts down for what every reason they don't offer pto until you been there for about a year 🤨 so if you just stared working there and the rent is due i guess you better do uber to make up for that time off and they do this pretty often

I would arrive at work 15 minutes prior to shift start to receive a handover from leads on first shift.  Once my team came in 15 minutes later I would direct them all in what the priorities were for the day.  

Each day I felt I was always learning new processes and new products on the NPI line. 

The management and the staff were very helpful in explaining any new issues that would arrive and the correct way to deal with each issue.

My co-workers I enjoyed working with but there were always challenges particularly with new staff.

The most difficult part of the job was looking after 30 people at one time and all of the different personalities and the challenges that come with that. 

The most enjoyable part of the job were the relationships that I built up and that I was rewarded for working hard.
