What is the best part of working at the company?
Don't get me wrong the company as a whole is an awesome company to work for. Maybe it was my personality clashing with the guy that was supposed to be training me but my trainer had no patients. It eventually got so bad to where he wouldn't even speak to me even alienating me from the other employees. Some would call it bullying. After a year and some months I finally couldn't take the abuse any more so I walked out and never looked back. Maybe the next guy will have better luck. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The guy that was supposed to be training me. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was clean and tidy while the rest of the company welcomed me with open arms, but the person charged with training me just had no patients. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Standing around or sweeping most days.

Peers are awesome, great to work with. The owner is a great person, with integrity and is very personable. Management is the opposite. They have no standard, lack consistency and live-in the past. Expect to hear "when I was on the road" any time you need help or are struggling with something. They hold a work vehicle and phone over your head as if it's a privilege (most competitors offer the same). Pay is lower than advertised on their hiring ads. They claim $2,400 a week, you will only get $2,400 a week if you work 80+ hours a week. Expect to make $20-$25/hr. Overall, wouldn't recommend working here unless you like living in anxiety or dreading your job. 

I worked at the MIT in Dayton. I was a parts editior. I loved that job. The people are great and veey knowledgeable. If I ever got stuck trying to find a part, there was no end to the amount of help I could receive. They are a family. During the holidays you get a big ham or turkey. They have bounses a couple times a year. For their anniversary they took the ENTIRE company, including family, to Scene 75 gave us loaded game cards. They sent me to Michigan for training, all paid. Everyone knows who you are. Because of personal circumstances I had to move, otherwise I would still be there.

If you want a job that doesnt care about the employee or has no career advancement then this is for you. If you weren't best friends or related to someone high up, then you wouldn't get a promotion. This companies priorities are also backwards. Instead of senior seasoned employees getting a new vehicle to drive, they give the new ones to the brand new freshly hired employees. I would not and will not recommend anyone to work for this company. They say they will provide training and schooling but they dont.

MIT has a great vision on how a company should be ran. They are very compassionate toward all their employees and many times will offer and hand up for any employee who has gone through hardships in life. The work environment is professional & friendly. 

I was blessed to work for many companies looking for the proper fit. MIT has offered just that. 
Put in an honest days work and you will be treated with an honest days pay!

I had to have the desire to teach myself about the software.  Without this, I never would have stayed longer than 5 months.  I believe the training could have been better, but maybe they just wanted to see if my position would be a go getter or not.  I learned that I can accomplish anything if I just try.  There was a glass ceiling as one of the owners of the company has his kids working in upper management.

The job itself is rewarding! You get to work on several types of equipment and you will learn a lot if you apply yourself. However, you’re told that you’re doing something wrong daily and never praised. They bully everyone instead of directly confronting the people causing problems. Hypocritical management and very inappropriate, which coming from a mechanic says a lot…

It is difficult to work for a company where the managers are almost exclusively people who were good at a job and now they are managing the people that are supposed to do that job and have never been taught how to manage people. There is a consistent culture of undefined expectations and then consequences for not fulfilling these undefined and arbitrary expectations.

Management has no compassion towards employees
and show favoritism towards chosen employees.
Senior management has serious emotional issues and verbally abusive towards employees.
High turnover in certain departments.
Management ignores areas where improvements can be made.

MIT is a great family owned and operated workplace. If you are looking for a job to stay for a while, this is it. Everyone is like family and works together as a collective team. With 4 facilities, we are always growing and making positive changes.
