Musco Sports Lighting

I was hired on as a temp worker through my local temp agency and a school program. I worked partial days most of the time due to me being in high school and college. However I did work full time hours one summer in between high school and college. A typical day at work starts at 5am in the morning when you set up your stations welder or grinder. You then proceed to work till around 8am to 9am until your first break. After your first 15 minute break is over you will change stations and do a different job for the next couple hours until your 15 minute lunch break which was around 11am to 12pm. Then after that break is over you switch stations again and do a different job for the last couple hours of the day which ends at 3pm. Those hours and break times were for normal days. When you add overtime you end up working Fridays (you normally don't) and sometimes even Saturdays. In the summer it gets so busy you will sometimes end up working 5, 12 hour days a week just to try to catch back up along with a few hours Saturday as well sometimes. I leaned a lot as it was the first job I ever had. I learned how to mig weld aluminum and bettered my skills with mig welding steel. I learned important teamwork and social skills. I also learned about safety. Management is pretty good from what I can tell but as a welder you won't see them very much unless you are in a meeting. My leads and coordinators were very nice and approachable though. They seemed to care more about full time and part time employees than they did temp workers however. The culture in the workplace is kind of a mixed bag if you will. There are some people who really enjoy their job and are happy friendly faces that will brighten your day no matter what. But there are some people who are just the opposite. There is a lot of diversity in the company as a whole. The job itself was pretty easy. There was nothing I couldn't do with my skillset but being a temp worker I was not allowed to do certain things. That being said things were pretty difficult sometimes due to machines not working properly, a huge backlog of orders to fill causing massive amounts of overtime, the constant 120% work pace, and there not being good air circulation or ac in the shop making it very hot in there during the spring and summer months. I guess thats just how welding jobs go sometimes so I can't complain too much. The most enjoyable part of the job was probably all the nice people I worked with. I have so many good memories of some people there that it almost outweighs the bad memories of everything else. Overall I don't regret working there as I made some good money and gained a lot of experience when I was in school but I wouldn't want to go back there.

I invite you to seriously  re-consider accepting an offer of employment with Musco Sports Lighting, LLC unless you are a conservative, white man between the ages of 25-50. If so, you will do very well here! The company has been expanding very quickly over the past couple of years in order to bring in fresh blood and talent, but are incapable of balancing differences of workplace culture between senior staff and in-coming new employees. Managers in the Main Corps headquarters will bend over backwards to maintain good favor with senior staff and claim that in order to do so, they must avoid appearing to favor new employees by not allowing new employees the same flexibility and freedom to use benefits as senior staff.  For example, in my experience of working with the company for less than a year, management consistently retaliated against new employees for utilizing benefits such as sick days and PTO. Furthermore, Musco's HR department is a tool of weaponized incompetence, only capable of denying glaring issues in poor management. Leadership will not hesitate to use vague language as well as outright lie to your face about career advancement and education reimbursement opportunities. The hardest part of working in this company is keeping your mouth shut while taking the blame and responsibility for your senior co-workers inability to do their own jobs.  To be clear, these benefits are eventually available, to senior team members, and only after you have found a way to prove yourself as trustworthy considering management is vocally afraid that new employees will take advantage of benefits, add feathers to their cap, and leave the company for better employment elsewhere.

Overall, this is a great company with a strong, people-first culture. The organization genuinely cares about its employees and their families, which shows up in flexible policies, strong benefits, and a supportive work environment. There’s a real emphasis on collaboration, teamwork, and doing the right thing, which makes it an enjoyable place to work day-to-day.
One of the biggest strengths is the opportunity for learning and growth. Employees are encouraged to develop their skills, take on new challenges, and grow within the company. If you’re motivated and open to learning, there are many paths to build a long-term career here.
The company has also experienced significant growth in recent years, which has created exciting opportunities but also some growing pains. At times, processes, communication, and alignment are still catching up to that growth, which can lead to some inconsistency across teams and among leadership. That said, this is not uncommon for a company at this stage, and leadership is continuing to evolve and adapt. Despite these challenges, the company’s culture, people, and long-term opportunities make it a place I would still recommend to others.

We produce merchandise and signage for Musco, local organizations, including businesses, schools, churches, clubs, and small orders. 
My main priority is providing support to the team in any capacity, whether it's mentally, or physical support, or coaching. 
Since working at the Media Shop, I've learned that if you create a healthy environment for the team and give them the tools to be successful, they'll want to go above and beyond, and Make It Happen and in turn, they'll take care of the customers and partners. 
If I need support from my peers, or manager, I know can approach him at anytime to get feedback and help. 
The culture at Musco is 100% about the team and has been since I've been here. When times are stressful I know our team will pull together and provide support  to one another. 
There are multiple reasons why someone may need merchandise. I get job satisfaction knowing that our team is able to produce a great product and service to meet the different needs of the people who walk through the "door" and need help. 

I've worked at multiple companies and Musco is definitely the best! Musco cares about people and works to make decisions that create positive impact. The culture here is equivalent of a family where you can talk to almost anyone regardless of their role or level. The one thing I appreciate the most about Musco is the willingness and opportunities for colleagues to help one another regardless of their department or position. An IT Data Analyst could be working with someone in R&D or Marketing on a project; an Accounting person could be on a project with Product Performance or Sales; a Business Analyst could be helping HR at a career fair; a Finance person could partake in a tour of the manufacturing area. Musco also does so much for its surrounding communities. I know that most companies do this but for Musco it feels like we truly understand our role and impact on others.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Certainly one of best employers I have ever had. I been working with musco for last 17 years and got assigned various projects and to see those out in the field is the greatest! Musco leads in employee treatment. Most complain about pay but to be honest the benefits of working there are far out do the pay. You’re not just number like all the other manufacturing companies each person has a chance to make a difference. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some coordinators should not be in the position. They do the bare minimum instead of leading the team to success like musco strives in. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Comfortable and relaxing. No one is really pushed to go fast but to stay consistent. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The product and working variety makes it worth going in and most of time we get to see it in field.

I spent 20+ years at another local company.  When I started at that location, they knew how to treat people properly.  Over time, they gradually lost that leadership skill till finally abandoning it as a company.  Musco still has that employee first mentality.  I wish I would have come to Musco sooner.  A typical day here involves me interacting with a team of skilled professionals that seek the best and safest workplace for our people because they understand that effort of excellence transfers to the excellence of the product and the satisfaction of the customer.  The management here supports the leadership and employees.  The best part of working here is the team I work with and the company that values what I bring to the table.  Not just empty promises or excuses,  but truly delivering as an employer.  This is a breath of fresh air as an more experienced employee. 

A typical day at work was very relax as soon as you clocked in for the day. You checked in with your superior on what your project will be to start. You may be on the same project for the remainder of the day, or after break or lunch you may be ask to move over to another project. They recommend to get all employees little at a time, to get trained on other routines of productions, just so there's always backup help in case someone calls in sick or takes time off and anyone therefore would be able to transfer to that location at any given moment. That's always good practice for any company to allow employees to train in other departments and know more about the operations of the company their working for and strive into and feel their accomplishments for the future of their career in the workforce of their job they call home.

3. Simply look at the deadlines of projects and relist them chronologically according to their due dates. Lastly, check the ones you think will be done per day and start working.
4. Team work, communicate, Follow each job in details, and have fun. 
5. Quick turn tasks, fast  change pace, mixing our product with other party to make it work.
6. Can and caring attitude towards MAKING IT HAPPEN.
