McElroy Metal

What is the best part of working at the company?
I no longer work there, but McElroy promotes and maintains a family kind of atmosphere. Everyone hustles and gets things done all day, but they come together on breaks and after work like family. And that type of vibe is promoted by the company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some of the customers demands and expectations. Because you're producing metal building materials and accessories, you're usually dealing with contractors who are stressed out and in a hurry trying to make deadlines or changes to orders, with thousands of pieces, when 3/4 of the order has already been completed to the previous specs.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
As stated earlier, the company's environment and culture is a family atmosphere. Yes, you are in a metal manufacturing plant and warehouse and you're putting in long hours sometimes to help customers meet deadlines, but the company rewards those efforts in quite a few ways. And they work diligently to make everyone feel appreciated, valued, and respected as family members not just employees.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It's all hustle as soon as you've clocked in.  It's a fast-paced production environment, but maintaining your safety and providing you with everything needed to complete your assignments and quotas for the day is always a top priority to the management team.

I worked as office coordinator during my time at the local branch, overseeing customer records, daily deposit reporting, placing purchase orders, assisting sales team with pricing information, and several other tasks, including mopping, cleaning bathrooms, cashiering and keeping office machines in good working order.  With a small crew, I got to do a little of almost everything.  If you want to work for McElroy, however, you've got to be willing to do what they want to try and boost sales, regardless of your temperament or abilities.  From the beginning I told them I was not cut out to be a salesman--would do anything/everything else--and things worked out until the sales numbers didn't meet their goals; then I got the axe.  
The bottom line is, you can have good pay & benefits with McElroy Metal but don't count on job security if your branch isn't meeting sales goals.

I learned a lot about hands on work, like proper lifting technique and many other small skills. Most of the people I worked with were super nice. I just couldn't handle the work load I kinda took upon myself and I had a problem with the management. We stayed understaffed a lot of the time I worked there.  Even though I was new, some of the other employees realized I wasn't lazy and took advantage of putting a lot on me. For example the manger that would usually enforce the others to do work wasn't there I became the workhorse so much in fact I dislocated my wrist because the flat out refused to help me lift something. I didn't want to just be lazy like them and just fit in until everything would go crazy and we all have to work but management never saw this or would enforce them to work. All and all it wasn't that bad I got paid very well for what i did, It was just lack of repercussions.

Imagine working a standard 40 hour week, going home happy, and not ever worrying about money. This job is nothing like that. They work you to death, pay you little to nothing, and wonder why you hate your job. The management at the plant is very understanding with time off, but if you need more than to miss one day at a time or leave a couple hours early one day forget about it. Corporate seems to be a bunch of politicians with a really fancy and shiny smoke machine. They love to make you promises and fall back on them. Getting a straight answer out of them seems to be more impossible than breaking into Fort Knox. I would recommend working ANYWHERE but here. Unless however, you're freshly out of prison and need a steady job, and can handle working countless hours for little to no reward.

What is the best part of working at the company?
At first it seemed like a good place to work but in a very short time it proved different.  Way overworked for the pay.  Expected alot with no training 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Overworked due to staff shortages. Very stressful and never felt appreciated

This used to be an awesome place to work. When we had a good plant manager and supervisor it was great. The pay is garbage, but the benefits of flexibility and moral made it bearable. Now with an unqualified plant manager and a "floor supervisor" that knows absolutely nothing about the floor, it is awful. Poor production planning leads to minimal hours one day, and beyond maximum hours the next. Plant manager is rude, unfriendly, and makes it known that he is only going to be there for a short period of time. Plant manager talks to employees like dogs, tells us everything we are doing wrong on the floor, yet never leaves his office.

It was one of the worst experience of company discrimination in my life. Upper Management was clearly aware of what was transpiring and occasionally participating in it. But, God took what they meant for my harm and turn it into my good.  Since they made the decision to terminate my employment over something they told me that they knew I wasn't guilty of, my life, my sanity, my finances, my whole world is better now since I am no longer in a pit of snakes. I decided to trust God and not look back. Thank you, Lord! I never could have made it without you.

The temp agency lies about your schedule. You can begin as early as 5am and work up to 15 hours in a day. Management simply does not care about employees. Injuries are rampant. The pay starts at $9 per hour on the floor, and they work you like a slave. Don't even think about working an 8 hour day. 9, 10, 12, and upwards every day. Some temps have been there over a year. If they do hire you on full time, 50 cents and hour is a "significant" increase to management. Noochie is great, but most other managers are incompetent and uncaring. Stay far away from this place.
