Mayday Manufacturing

You are paid a fair wage for the work (no college degree required) and you earn overtime. However, the wages are fairly low if you have a college degree or any experience in the industry. The only way to make a decent living (if you aren't an executive) is to work lots of overtime doing a very boring, tedious, repetitive job. I had to threaten to leave to get more than a COLA raise. Some of the management is good, but others show serious favoritism. A couple of families work there and they are disproportionately promoted and given raises. Oh, and the vacation policy and benefits are not good. And they make you clock out for free lunches to "reward" employees! 

The most difficult part of Mayday was the fact that I was unable to match their positive energy. Management of all levels routinely checked in with me. They routinely held fundraising and donation events for anonymous employees in need - and you didn't have to ask, managers just knew. This is one of the absolute without a doubt one of the best company cultures I have ever experienced. They implemented no stupid programs to get there, they just genuinely honestly wholeheartedly care. 
Pay isn't great, health insurance isn't great, but the culture made up for a lot of that.
I'm not there anymore, but that is because of personal things in my own life and not in any way at all because of them.

When and if you sign up for benefits be sure that you actually are receiving benefits, there have been issues with the HR department actually doing completing this aspect of there job.  Don't expect to be looked at as anything more than a number/ production report.  They are very partial to select long term employees and there families all other employees will be looked over for pay/position advancement.  regardless of performance.  Very stable and I experienced few layoffs.  great job if you can be juggling school and work and are planning on just using this as a means to another opportunity.

The leadership team is extremely supportive of individual growth and knowledge. This is a job that has allowed me to expand my personal/professional knowledge and growth and afforded me the opportunity to make this position fit me instead of the traditional fit/form/function rules of most companies. I am afforded the opportunity to work with some of the most innovative minds in the aerospace manufacturing community. I hope to continue to grow and learn from all of the great leaders here!

Litterly the worst experience of my career as a machinist. Management will put you down at every turn. I’ve heard management use racist slurs towards people of ethnicity. I’ve been treated like a slave and they demand you always work overtime and if you do not then you will be seen  as a bad egg. Stay away from this place unless you want to hate your life for the entirety of your employment there.

If you were compensated for the stress associated with the job that might be worth it but you're not. You are working for peanuts. I spent way too much time there waiting on a decent raise.

The supervisors when I worked here were extremely biased and would take the side of and treat workers better if they had family that worked here.  And would be incredibly unprofessional and rude if you weren't.  At first, they were fine but if you weren't related to anyone you had no chance of moving up here.  Not sure if these are still issues but they were when I worked there.

Basic manufacturing job with healthcare benefits and some paid vacation days. Works with in-house sister company Hi-Tech Metal Finishing to produce aerospace component parts. Different departments with possibility to move up from within the company. Environment is ok. Management in some departments could use some work. Overall ok place to work.

My review summary sums it up. It's monotonous work with an overemphasis on production percentages. Air conditioned building. Some departments are worse than others, meaning to say the raises come slower if ever. Not a bad place to work. You can take pride knowing you're keeping airplanes jets and choppers in the air.

They always have raises it felt like, and although I only worked there for 9 months, they take care of you for Christmas bonuses and raises. My manager at first wasn’t great, very partial to other employees, but then I had Brad as my manager and he was incredible. I definitely miss my job sometimes.
