Detailer - it is very interesting job position as a drafter. You will be visiting actual projects and meet people "behind the scenes". The company, in general, takes good care of employees. Safety is number one there. They make sure every employee is satisfied and happy with their position. Now, if we speak about Tacoma office itself, the team is great. The office has monthly activities that provide free lunch and team building activities. Twice a day everyone goes outside to stretch (to keep everyone healthy). Salary is enough and increases depending on your experience and productivity (although some of my ex-coworkers were unhappy with large work load and small salary). The position itself is very stressful. There is a continues pressure of due dates and error free great quality work. Management sometimes tends to micromanage your work and how you work.  There will be moments when you will have to revise your work in a hurry, get yelled at (for errors) and will have to listen to humiliation in your address about your work. And on top of all that produce great quality drawings, on time and error free. Plus do a paperwork such as Timesheets, Change Orders, Schedules, and etc. This is definitely not a place for soft character people. You will rarely hear "good job" (which happens at other positions as well, but hey it doesn't hurt to say those two words more often to people). So, as I said NOT a place for soft people. To summarize, Company, in general, is fantastic (they take care about their employees). Although, that specific location need to work on communication and better management (communication and production strategies). Position is very stressful but fun.

Wouldnt recommend. Company pay isnt worth the work schedule. 10 hour days 6 days a week most of the time, with expectations for production outside of reality with the few employees that work there. Machines constantly break down, and management refuses to hire a new maintenance man although the previous is still employed but hasnt shown up to work in months after a medical issue. Patch jobs on the machines and no actual part replacement because management are cheapskates. They prefer employees to deal with it than spend what is necessary to repair the issue.

Weird place to work. Harris company benefits are good. Detailing is a n ability that not everyone has. If you dont have the ability it cannot be taught. High push for production. Working in the office was like working in an jail cell. White walls, windows but with bars (very cozy) and conversating with coworkers is accepted but not highly promoted. Again, more emphasis on production. With that being said, the managers were nice and fairly helpful, when they were around. Working next to a fabrication shop was very distracting with all the noise making it hard to concentrate  My experience here was ok.

I would never recommend this company to no one. They don't care about your life are you as a person. Your hours are always messed up. You can never sign out at the end of the day. So you don't know how many hours you were wrote in for. People always have problems with they payroll EVERY WEEK. And you will wait 3 to 4 weeks to get your money. AND PLEASE DONT GET HURT. They will replace you. And dont go over your bosses head about your hours because he will FIRE YOU. They don't  like you calling payroll. Also weather conditions don't  mean nothing to them, you will walk on muddy rebar and you will work in thunderstorms and heavy rain. IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL BE FIRED. DO NOT WORK FOR THESE IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE AND WANT TO GET PAID FOR WHAT YOU WORK FOR.

They say they care about employees but really all they care about is their paychecks and bonuses!! They will feed you and sit everyone down on a zoom call and show off all the billions of dollars in profit there making! They give out all these big bonuses and money and show off all there parties and stuff that they do for fun! But employees that are actually doing the work and making them the money see none of that!! They pay you barely enough to stay the only way to make any money is to work 70 hours a week. Tried to get a raise almost 4 years (didn't happen) mean while they have the audacity every quarter to make you watch them throw big bonuses at all the big wigs! But hey at least we got pizza!!!

You will work every Saturday and you will never get a raise. They have an excuse every year as to why they’re not giving out cost of living this year. There’s no opportunity for growth of any kind because all they care about is having a warm body to throw on a machine. It pays somewhat decent but you will be stuck on the floor forever and never have a chance to grow as an employee. They’ll force you to train with no compensation and do not care about your well-being beyond being healthy enough to come in and run your machine. There’s no leadership of any kind and they’ve had 3 years to replace their current foremen who will retire soon but have yet to fill the roles. They work you like a dog and then blame you when the schedule is behind. Stay away!

Help with three male co-workers with bending rebar in the Radius Bender Machine to make anywhere from six to eight feet wide hoops. Normally two at a time are bent at once. Assist with the Fusion Welding machine with another co-worker carrying one hoop rebar to the welding machine to align the two cut ends to connect (butt ends). Securing & stabilizing in the “spider”, plasma cut the hoops of rebar that have an overlap measurement from the Radius Bender & assisted the fusion welding machine. Also knowledge and experience on the Lenton Threaded machine.

The company has a lot of potential and great employees but the lack of good leadership and proper assistance is keeping the company very stagnant. There is a high turn over rate due to the negligence from management towards employees and proper protocols, also paired with a sink-or-swim training. When something goes wrong, management begins to point fingers instead acknowledging their own short comings in the situation. Many people there are treated with absolute disrespect and some are in job positions that they are vividly unqualified to be in. 

This could be a great place to work if it weren’t for the managers and the location.  

The branch is run by egotistic management that attempts to overcompensate for their shortcomings by treating some of us as less than human.  The behavior that I have seen some of my coworkers tolerate is reprehensible.  And management will sweep things under the carpet to protect themselves.

The location is horrible as well due to the fact that the only road to this building puts you at the mercy of a freight train at a minimum of a couple of hours a week.  All time that the company expects you to make up.

I would have quit already but I am just getting some experience before I try to move on from this place.

I was there for about 2 months, the first month was fine, the work is rather boring and simple but it's to be expected. After 3 weeks they shifted me to a 56 hour a week schedule. 9.5 hour weekdays and 8 on saturdays. 6 days a week alone is unacceptable if done more than once every month or two but it was every week for the entire duration I was there. I had no time to run errands or spend time with loved ones. The shift manager was a friend, but the upper management treated us like machines, and obviously didn't care about our mental health or wellbeing.
