Single Night shift manager with 40 to 60 direct reports, eight dayshift managers that are focused only on their respective areas. No continuous improvement efforts ever took hold, spent the night working on "hot lists" from every manager. Also had "lists" from Production Control and Quality (who had yet another staff of 8+) with their needs.

No evidence of good MRP or PDCA (Plan Do Check ACT) Most companies have evolved with continuos improvement efforts since the 70's. 

Good hourly folks, however, in recent years the turnover has been horrific and key positions no longer have experienced operators.

The hardest part of the job is going in to a bigger list each night, with "hot" orders (in some cases a single slit coil) that MUST be done by 7 AM and the list was generated the previous morning at 7 AM and virtually untouched. 

Frankly, on an index score of the ten things you like about the job, I had one, "short commute" 

The Overall effort of the organization (top down) wanted the right things, however, there was so much mud and fences between  managers, that it just became "do this or else" 

I've been involved in very similar industries at every level (including Production and Plant Manager) that this just amazed me that a large manufacturer (such as this one) was so far behind the times, and the place is filthy, pretty much out of control.

I worked at PMX for 24 years. The first 15 years were excellent, they treated the employees with respect and had some pretty good benefits, like monthly bonuses for meeting production goals, a company party in the winter etc. The 12 hour shifts are hard to get used to but having days off during the week was nice because you could take care of appointments during this time. I learned to run many machines in the plant from running rolling mills to running finish slitter machines, all done through a bid process. Management was really good at the start because all the managers were former machine operators and had the skills to run the department. Then they hired a Vice President to be in charge of the production department. Things went downhill from that point because he did nothing but create a hostile work environment and was responsible for losing a lot of customers, this went on for 5 years before the owner finally fired him. They also lost all the good managers during this time. The hardest part of the job is getting used to being on your feet the full shift except for breaks.

This place is completely unacceptable, when you first get hired on they treat you as if you are everything. They put on this amazing show to make you believe how much they truly care about their employees and their lives. Their HR team in general are rude and inconsiderate to the needs of the employees.

Consistently this place of employment has done nothing but create hostile work environment with multiple employees at different levels. As sucks many of the people that have been there for years have immediately left due to this continued hostile environment. 

The vice president of Human Resources and the vice president of the plant, care nothing about anything you're going through and are quick to cuss you up one side and down the other in front of other staff. It has been brought forth on multiple occasions that this is not an acceptable way to handle business yet they continue to run this way. 

HR team and upper management needs to be cleared out, and a freah outlook needs to be brought in.

I enjoyed the position of Quality Specialist.  I excelled and out performed expectations of the job.
The last year and a half, this position was ever changing where tasks were added on a daily basis, where it became all but impossible to complete the main functions of the position.  The Quality department has been understaffed and the Quality Specialist forced to work 19 days on and two off for several months.  Just in the Quality Department, several people have left, have been forced out, or have been released during this time frame.
The recent changes and high turn over that has been injected into the company has shown a lack of commitment to values, employees, and decision making.
The overall culture has suffered and has been in decline over the last year and a half.
The people on the floor were great to work with!  These are the people that make the company go and who should be valued more.




I worked there as an operator for over 20 years. The last few years the management has been in constant  turnover. The high rate of turnover in production has been crippling.  Upper management  seems to have their head in the sand over this labor crisis. If you like working  8 straight 12 hour days with only one day off for 8+ months continuously  this is the place for you.  Frankly the wages here are not as competitive as they once were. And the culture of not promoting  from within is starting  to bite them. 
The work is usually  not physically hard. And you ultimately  are responsible  for your own safety here. Please becareful.



Loved working at PMX. Just got exhausted from my own doing. Took to many extra shifts. Clock in check with supervisor. Flip some people off to say hello. Walk to station 2, 3, or 5 see who I was reliving always expect the worst, never was that bad really. Start charging, turning pit around, or finish casting if they were already casting during shift change. Try to leave them better than you were left when you leave. But always seven to ten minutes before you get releived get on the radio and call water on even if your not going to start casting. If the men coming in are happy to releive you then you've done your job. 

I have been with the company for a while now, and I absolutely love all of the people that I work with. Upper management has changed, and that has been a good thing. There is a true sense of family and they care about their employees. Everyone is treated with respect and the company fosters a positive environment. There are great opportunities for growth and the ability to make as much as you want with the overtime that is provided within the company. The hours allow for days off during the week, as you are working a scheduled 15 days per month in the plant.  There is some turnover, but given the job markets that we are in, that is to be expected. Overall, the environment if very relaxed and fun to be in.

overworking employees having forced overtime 39 days in a row and when you finally get a day or 2 off they come to u 3 hours before shift is over to tell you we have to force in for overtime i’ve lost my family cause of this job

other than wages nothing else

working nights and getting moved around and not getting trained properly on running the machine you are assigned to.

was not good some areas the employees training you were not very quick to do that.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
going in at any given day and not knowing if you were going to be sent somewhere other than the machine you are assigned to be trained on.

You'll be forced to work on your days off! You won't have any time for your family life. Vacation in the first 90 days is non existent. It's over 90 degrees 5 months out of the year. You live your life a week at a time due to overtime. Training on machines is a JOKE! Hurry up and sign off so we can force you in more and get ya running 2 machines. The cleaning line supervisor is an idiot! Once you mess up 1 time a target is on your back, no help from union. Youll get trapped here making money you wont make anywhere else. Say goodbye to family time in summer.
