Mayville Engineering Company

During my "interview" they made it sound like its "your company".  Nothing could be further than the truth.  If you have a family and like spending time with them don't work here. 

Have fun finding a daycare or babysitter when you hours change every day.  You can start working an 8 hour day Monday, then a 9 on Tuesday, then 10 hour days the rest of the week including weekends without notice.

Everyone I talked to hates it. They were just putting up with it because they only had a few years till retirement or were young and it was pretty much their first job.

Small parts, High rates that are set by people that have no idea whats going on and when you can't hit those rates you don't get a raise in your review.

Attendence policy is a joke.  You could get hit by an asteroid on your way to work, survive, and walk your way there just to be late by one minute and be terminated.

No advancement at all, co-workers act like your friends but stab you in the back.  Pay isn't the worst but its because they can't keep people there.

There was no enjoyable part of this job in any shape or form.

Working as a Machine Operator at [Company Name] has been a steady experience overall. The company offers structured training for new hires, which helps in learning the equipment and safety procedures. The work environment is generally organized, and safety is taken seriously, which is important in this type of role. The machines are kept in good working condition, minimizing downtime and issues.

The job itself is repetitive and physically demanding at times, requiring attention to detail and the ability to work under deadlines. Scheduling is predictable for the most part, with occasional overtime during busy periods. Pay and benefits are fair compared to similar positions in the industry, though not exceptional.

Opportunities for advancement are limited unless you take the initiative to cross-train or apply for other roles internally. Overall, [Company Name] provides stable employment for those comfortable with manufacturing work and who value consistency in their daily tasks.

upper management treats supervisors very badly which in turn causes supervisors to be overstressed and treat employees very badly. talks to employees like dogs. no annual raises and no opportunity for advancement. I worked there a year or two and every employee I talked to hated it. over work employees constantly, 6to7 days a week. normally 10hours or more daily. overscheduling by upper management with no backup plan for equipment breakdown. just work employees longer hours to make up schedule. maintenance rarely comes when called and never have parts in stock to fix anything. what looks good on paper for mec doesn't translate to good place to work not to mention supervisors don't know how to do hardly any of the jobs they are in charge of. New employees are thrown in headfirst and either sink or swim because not properly trained.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Management issues, no accountability for special workers they got special treatment. If you worked they expected you to do more and the slackers could do whatever they wanted to in "Robot Weld"
They questioned my work ethics 2 yrs into employing me after learning I was looking for a new job. For 2 hrs I got praised by this manager. Go figure. I would not recommend this company because I was like number 6 that walked out, mine was without notice because the treatment was getting so bad by the"(Robot Dept)"manager and HR didn't investigate an aggressive employee threatening me

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Robot Manager and his specials

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Just started today (a new broom sweeps good) my dad used to say
People I'm associating with are very friendly

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
IDK too new seems to be a friendly environment

Kind of lazy management, wouldn’t acknowledge any of the many mistakes on their part, at the same time won’t forgive a mistake on your part. They’re very stingy with time, and any time you need something, you have to jump through hoops and wait for days to get any kind of response. I tried to call off for a day and was told I couldn’t ask off until the day I was taking off and then after being told I could email them, I was later told I could only make a call through their asinine phone system. They just don’t care about the workers. Also when confronted about missing pay, they said they would take care of it, and next paycheck I get most of it, this happens until the money dwindles down to not worth the fuss.

This place is like a third world country. It is ran by ignorant tyrants who expect perfection when they themselves dont even bother to show up half of the time. Unsafe equipment and facilities coupled with drunks,druggies,thiefs and a high turnover rate make it a hostile work enviroment. Management and hr do little if anything for employees and the wages are the lowest in the area.little to no advancement is possible and dont expect to be paid for more responsibility.it is the worst employer i have ever worked for and i have worked in some pretty rough enviroments. I would not wish this place on my worst enemy.no sick leave and they also tell you 4-10s work week but dont count on it plan on being treated poorly,grossly underpaid and work 50 to 60 hours a week mon.-sat. I and my fellow coworkers with half a brain are fed up and seeking more gainful and respectful employment.

With 40 years in the work force, MEC (Bedford, PA) is by far the worst employer I’ve ever had. Management is nothing but a bunch of engineering flunkies who think they’re better than you. Could care less about input an employee may have to make the job easier and more efficient.  Moral is nonexistent. Toxic work environment. Point attendance system is a joke!  Whether you bring in a doctors excuse or not, you still lose a point. Totally stupid. Shift supervisors are worthless. They have no clue what’s going on.  Working conditions are horrible!  Working in 90 degree conditions with junky fans and there’s never enough of them.  THEY DON’T CARE!  Safety is a joke. In April, the plant filled up with smoke on night shift. No smoke or fire alarm alert and no one was evacuated for safety purposes. Avoid this employer at all costs!

I understand my experience isn't the typical one for the majority of this company, but unfortunately my experiences at the Beaver Dam East location soured my views on the entire company. 

Management routinely would come in 30 minutes to an hour late and expected their employees to handle the start of day responsibilities such as staffing allocation or emergency situations. There was also a serious lack of motivation for them to fix any serious issues on their part, if the solution didn't include someone else doing everything, then they didn't want to hear it. 

Couple that with the outright disrespectful and demeaning ways they speak about their employees, I can't honestly say there are any redeeming qualities for the workplace environment at MEC. 

My day consists of wearing many hats of responsibility, from CI initiatives to procurement of equipment and tools to reduce waste and or normal MRO items for all associates in the production environment.

I work well with all associates and I am the go to person they come to for support, encouragement, tools and information in achieving the goals and objectives established. 

Working directly on floor with the associates to root out waste in the organization and listening to their concerns.

The hardest part of my job is very little support from management to implement CI as quickly as needed, and feel stifled to create an environment that allows for a solid culture for positive change.

I only worked here for a month little to no training or teaching they tell you that they care about their employees but they don't they offer flex time which is supposed to make it easier for you if you need to miss a day to make the hours up but then they have problem if you use it I missed 5 days and made 3 of them up they never said they had an issue with my performance or attendance but decided to let me go when I missed 2 days due to a family emergency and was willing to make the days up and they wouldn't let me so unless your ready to devote your life to working I would not recommend working here there is also alot of favoritism as another coworker had missed at least 1 or more days a week since starting and is still employed there your supposed to allow you 12 attendance points a year I guess that only applies if your a favorite employee
