Machines are outdated and break. We are way above our head in the new building. It is way too small and very loud with all the machines running. They expect us to do the work of four people. Managers say they are helping when they are part of the problem. Human resources are not here to help you. They pretend to care just to get information out of you then hold it against you. Leaders are never around only HR, and no one wants to go to them especially the head of HR.  People are leaving because the toxic environment they say culture is important, but 90 percent of the toxic behaviors come from the leaders. 

Work hours are excellent from 7 am to 3:30 pm. 2 ten minute breaks and 30 minute lunch. Custom fabrication, great group of coworkers. The hardest part of the job, is realizing you have made an error and need to re make a custom part!
Everyday is different and the teamwork with my workmates is superb. we help each other out as needed and we look out for one another.
Most enjoyable part of the job, getting the job out on time!

The work isn't stressful and if you're even a decent worker, you'll do well here. Flexible schedules and fair work load. You can do one thing or learn a variety. Most complaints are from people that have trouble being a decent employee. Managers and directors are down to earth people, more than other places I've worked. They don't hover over you and trust you to just do your job but will get you help if needed.The majority of people really work as a team and care about each other. People willing to help you out even if it's not their job. Some Upper level people are out of touch but I'm not sure that's unusual.

Company preaches “Cultural Behaviors” but managers do not adhere to these AT all. Employees going to HR on issues and of course HR only covers the managers. They will post I’m sure about how employees feel these are important to them, but they’re not. it’s covid and people don’t want to be retaliated against as others have. Do yourself a favor, do your research, you’ll find out I’m not describing anything new. Everything they do is made out to be so much harder because no one understands the business with a few exceptions. Poorly ran company - save yourself and apply elsewhere.

Normal work day come in do your job and go home.  Overall the managers and directors works their tail off for us.  Leadership is out of touch. CEO comes in but never on the floor to see how things are going. Save the pizza parties and listen, come out to the production floor. This Building is way to small.  HR is so out of touch how many people need to say this. You can see who runs this company and it's the head of HR. They have their hand in everything especially things that have nothing to do with them. Stop messing and changing things that work. 

Overall bad decision moving into a smaller building. Local remote has to work on site two days but the area is small and we are jammed in tight cubicle. Do not voice your opinion or concerns because they don't care.  All you get is false promises and lies. Managers are great they will help you and work with you. Top leaders do not care and it shows.  No picnics, end of year party. They force us into all day training it was just for the ceo and HR to show how important they are.  HR is not about helping people they are for themselves. 

Good company overall. The coworkers are amazing and help the day go by fast. The work itself isn’t hard. We could use some updated machines and equipment. Micromanaging makes it difficult. Human Resources needs to stay out of matters that don’t concern them. They often make things worse with fake promises and misleading information. Most of us would rather figure out problems ourselves than go to them. Let the managers and directors run the department they’re the ones out there with us. 

Great place to work. Not everyone is perfect but who is. Generally most of the people we work with are polite and well mannered and hard working. There is room for advancement if you are willing to put in the work and not cry about it. Compensation could always be better, but I believe we are compensated for the work that we do. It’s really not a hard job to do and I enjoy the environment here most days!

Benifits we ok, vacation time and personal days good. Co workers were great always worked as a team. Manager was good. The higher ups do not care about you. They pretend that they do every few months. CEO is not even  around cant discuss issues with them. They give you the fake sense that they care, HR is ok depending on who you talk to.  The boss of HR can not be trusted along with everyone else that holds a high ranking title. 

Overall ok place to work.  Alot of changes happening. Managers are good the Executive's are out of touch with the employees. They bought a new building so bonuses changed and no employee party like in the past.  They say they care but they don't if they did they would be out talking to employees like in the past You can not fix problems sitting in the office.   Vacation time is good and insurance is decent.
