Mid-West Forge Corporation

A typical day of work at Mid-West Forge consists of machines constantly malfunctioning for different reasons while management complains about tasks not being completed. The only thing I learned from working here was how to develop a tolerance for both ignorance & incompetence. Management sits around all day on their phones, they don't care what problems you have on the floor & they gossip about the employees they don't like. The best way to describe the workplace culture is disastrous. HR is on site but you have to call over the phone to speak with them instead of being able to sit down face to face. The hardest part of the job is maintaining your composure throughout the day & constantly being moved around due to understaffing or machines not functioning properly. The most enjoyable part of the job is clocking out when the shift is over & seeing your pay stubs assuming you more than likely had to work mandatory OT

I worked at Mid-west Forge for 3 years.  I never felt any pressure to work more overtime than I could handle, and was left on my own to accomplish my job requirements at my leisure and comfort within reason.  

The only drawback to working at Mid-west forge is that the culture
is becoming a shadow of what it was in the 90s.  All documentation and paperwork was put in place in the 90s and the technology driving the company has yet to move into the new millennium.  The people who run the company are set in their ways and have little to no interest in making profound changes that will drive the company
to higher success.

They will set you up to get fired in a heartbeat trust no one. I was getting trained on a machine just for my trainer to go gossip false info to get me out of there. On my last day there as I was clocking in one of hr came over just to tell me don't bother your fired. Come to find out they wanted to randomly switch my schedule to night on my day off with no call from them whatsoever.

I spent 33 years working in the dieroom for Mid-West.  With the immergence of front wheel drive vehicles and now electric cars and trucks. 
Mid-West Forge finds itself trying to gain footing in an ever-changing market. There's solid management at the the floor level, but the upper echelon spend more time finger pointing than, problem solving. 
I loved working here, but it became tedious. 

Dirty filthy place. No real safety policies in place . Not uncommon to see someone fallout in there or see someone with only 4 fingers on one of their hands. Supervisors antagonize the workers. Pay is ok .  They have a lot of mandatory overtime so no real work/life balance. Outdated equipment & upsetters.  Terrible air quality.  A lot of gossip in there. Don’t work there if you care about your health. 

Definitely one of the dirtiest places I have ever worked. This place is not for everyone but if you can deal with it, it's worth it. Plenty of overtime and co-workers are great. A lot of people complain about working sat/sun but it's a feast or famine industry. Only major complaint so far is they don't give you uniform service til youve been there 6 months.

10/10 do not recommend. Management is terrible. Very few good supervisors. Most of them don’t know their job and will pursue to attempt to write up individuals for things out of there control. Super high turn over rate due to the lack of pay, benefits, and manager harassment. It’s dirty, unclean, poorly managed, and not much room to grow. 

Got laid-off due to covid and I only had two days before I got into the union then was told I could reapply when they started hiring again which means my time would have to start all over again what a joke don't apply there trust me it was several of us they did this to and we all started the same day 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people that I work with in my department 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management , supervisor , Foremen, HR department 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Industrial production plant.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Like the twilight zone.
