CONS: You never knew what time you were getting off on any day. It was hard to plan anything Mon-Fri.  There were days that I would work 16 hours, go in at 3am and leave at 7pm. There's not a whole lot of room for advancement. Each crew has a crew leader, every supervisor has 2 to 3 crews, then there's a handful of managers. In the almost 3 years I was there, I saw supervisors move to manager and then 2 crew leaders took their spot. That only happened because one manager got fired unexpectedly and another moved to Florida. Its kind of a good ole boy hierarchy, some people could get away with anything because they were buddies with the supervisor or manager. If you weren't one of the good ole boys, they seemed to 
PROS: They do pay well, if u deserve it. If you're a hard worker and willing to be a team player they will give you more money.  If you can handle the 60-70 hour work weeks, you can make good money. If you need time off of work or need to leave because a child is sick or something they are pretty understanding. 

I personally loved this job at first. All those hours can really burn you out but the money was worth it. Once I had kids and a family at home, the hours became a problem. I was working more than dadding.

Metromont is a great company and every person has there own opinion and usually the ones that complain is due to them being irresponsible and losing there job. There are employees that have been at the company for years but the newer generation feels like they are entitled to money without earning it. I feel like they think they deserve 20$ an hour but put out 7.25 an hour work. Metromont's safety processes and training are far more advanced than any other company I have worked for. they just don't rush you out of training and put you to work they have processes that actually show they care about there safety culture and environment. i will always suggest this company to real people looking to make a living and working in a safe environment. If you want to slack off and expect to make money this is not the place for you!

When I first came there, the supervisor that trained me on forklift at first gave me a chance to work and correct my mistakes and didn't let me give up when I felt the need to quit. As a month in the job I started getting use to the forklift but wasn't getting any feedback from any of the supervisors on how I was doing and I had to hear from other employees what some people or supervisors had said about my performance of the job instead of the supervisors themselves coming up to me and telling me how I was doing. The job was fun to work at in my opinion but as for job security your not safe there completely. If you wanted to work there and go out and live on your on you would be putting yourself in a bad position because you position is not guaranteed to you. The job pays good and is enough to take care of a family but its not worth it if you live alone.

Very safety and people conscious organization. 24 Hour operations has it's challenges but the organization does an excellent and purposeful job at hiring and retention which has a positive effect on everything else.  Great culture where organizational values are lived, and never once did I witness any shortcuts.  Quality is a top priority and the lean culture led to innovative techniques that made the work much easier for employees (relatively speaking) while driving quality and efficiencies.  Can't brag enough on them. 

Metromont is a fairly large, high volume manufacturer of precast panels. While the benefits and pay were good, the stress level and the workload were unbearable. There were some there that didn't seem to mind it, but at one point I was coordinating 41 projects, which is basically double what I should have been realistically expected to handle.

The most enjoyable part of the job was the people I worked with, both inside and outside the office. Many of them had really great senses of humor, which went a long way in helping to deal with the stress.

After losing a job that I thought I was going to be at forever, I was in a downward spiral. I put my resume online, an a recruiter reached out to me with an offer of employment due to my experience.  I was so ecstatic. It was a perfect fit for me. My colleagues were welcoming and understanding. Communicated very thorough from day one so I adapted quickly. Being a Lab Technician you have to be consistent with a high quality work ethic.  Especially in this field of work. I had to leave due to personal reasons but I  wouldn’t think twice about going back!

I WOULD GO IN AT 7  SOME TIME THE FINISHERS WOULD GET OFF AT 12 THAT NIGHT AND THAT WAS FINE I LEARN TO FINISH WITH SUPER P SOMETHING ADDED TO THE CONCRETE TO MAKE IT DRY FAST THE PLANT MANAGER AT THAT TIME
SAID I LIKE YOUR FINISHING BUT YOU GOT TO GET THE LEAD OUT OF IT I TOUGH THAT WAS FUNNY. I KNEW MOST OF THE GUYS SO WORKING WITH THEM WAS FUN, THE HARDEST PART OF THE JOB WAS THE WEATHER AT TIMES I RELY LIKED
WORKING THERE.SOMETIME THEY HAD PIZZA WHEN THEY GAVE OUT BONUSES FOR BEING SELF.

Most positions at Metromont are manual labor in tough working conditions like rain and weather. Most managers are nice but you might not consider the pay to be worth it if you work on the beds. You could get the same amount or more working in a comfy warehouse somewhere instead of getting covered in oil and freezing or sweating your butt off outside. Also, day shift for the beds starts at 2am and can go until 4 or 5 in the afternoon some times. Overtime is good, but starting rate might only be 16 or 17 depending. 

Print and review daily drawing on the blast and weld details. Attend the needs of my men. Shuffle through the daily load list. Make sure all my men are effectivly working and know the daily production schedule. The hardest part of my job is seeing my men work so hard for the company but the company only see's them as a number. The best part of the day is the morning meeting I hold, while we conversate on the saftey issues but we also have a coffee and talk about our future past and present life outside of metromont giving us a close relationship which I think it being very helpful in respect.
