What is the best part of working at the company?
The job isn’t really hard but they will literally work you to death if you let them. The people I work with are the best part. I’ve met a lot of people I would and have spent time with outside of work. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Constant pressure to produce more is the most stressful. They implement new procedures which all take time yet they do not lower the expected output even though you now have less time. The worst part is they will not give raises to current employees so it’s important to negotiate an acceptable rate at the interview process because afterwards no matter how hard you work to meet production expectations they do not show their appreciation financially or really at all. They hire people in the door making more than the people training them so the longer you work there, the bigger gap between what you make and what they are paying new hires. They don’t seem to understand how detrimental a high turnover rate is to a company. They would rather have a constant revolving door of new hires than give raises to their current employees. I would not suggest anyone work there. I’ve never worked somewhere with such a negative environment before. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Constant negativity and threats of termination almost daily to all employees whether you are good at your job or not. New hires getting paid more than proven seasoned employees so it has a very high turnover rate. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Consume a large quantity of monster and work my butt off to meet production goals but being let down by management daily.

Job/Work life Balance: 8 hour shift but your manager decides on a daily basis how long you'll stay past 8 hours to hit your "goal".
So if you have anything planned after work be sure to get it approved asap or it'll be revoked.
Compensation/Benefits: Insurance is a joke if you have a wife or children average is 480$ per paycheck, it's bi-weekly pay. Singles insurance isn't terrible tho...comes with a Great Life membership.
They do have a decent program to only certify, there is absolutely no teaching or coaching involved in certain departments...
Management is poor quality...they chose people that have been there a long time (that are also stuck 10 years in the past production wise) over candidates that are actually qualified and that have a heart and real ambitions that you could look up to as a role model...favoritism runs very strong here so be prepared for that if you don't like bending the knee...
Job Culture: Be prepared for youngins with chips on their shoulders...very "highschool" type environment...safety is supposed to be a high priority but that's only true during the interview process... everyone does what they can to beat their goals because they don't want to be there, which means cutting corners which means accidents...

come in view the prints find the parts assemble and install look for errors and flaws in paint weld or equipment. i learned something new every day or a better way of getting the job done. My lead was a little critical and lacked in communication skills but the actual supervisor is a great man and very knowledgeable in his field with great leadership skills, my coworkers were good people to work with and they kept my spirits up. hardest thing was working in special projects    was that everything was special so it was and is hard to learn from repetition. the enjoyable part is seeing the company as a hole act as a family a lot of perks events to go to and the pay check,

Believe the reviews you read. They are not just disgruntled employees they are right. The owner of the company is petty at best and will degrade you in front of a crowd. The employees working on the floor are blamed for a majority of production issues and are not compensated well for their work. You will be told you will have the opportunity for a raise at 90 days but that’s very unlikely. There is a lot of forced overtime because they will not hire more workers. Your voice cannot be heard at this company if you are not a select few. It’s a toxic and draining environment. If you aren’t willing to trade your integrity for advancement then I don’t suggest working there. Yes there is drama in any work environment but this surpasses that into horribly toxic. 

I was contacted by a recruiter who said it was 7am-4pm m-f. With some Saturdays. But it was required to work every Saturday. 
As a new employee you operate in a point system if you miss work. You have to call your supervisor, and the HR manager. Then you have to submit the time off in Paycom. Then you have to submit doctors notes for a review board to decide if your points will drop off. A missed day is 2 points and you can get to 10 before you’re laid off.
Also it seems they hold new employees to different standards then those who have been there awhile. It’s ok for people who have been there awhile to stand around and talk, but you better not join in.
If you like working 55 hours a week every week and not having a life and not being appreciated it’s a great place. The one good thing is good benefits and decent pay.

On my first day in assembly, I was given a set of blue prints, and told to build rail houses( those aluminum structures you see by railroad crossings) coming from a construction background, it was Fairly easy to pick up, but the unrealistic expectations from management always seemed to lower morale, go,go,go mentality, and inexperienced lead and guides overseeing the department made it frustrating at time, you work 10 hour shifts mon- Fri, and Saturday and Sundays when you fail to meet production quotas, the turnover rate was really high in my department, and the work was repetitive and boring, it was a pay check, and nothing more, it was a dead end for me, just my experience I hated it, I'm much happier that I've left

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was great till they switched to mandatory 12 shifts. Then it was all down hill. Management doesn't understand the numbers only work out when you have the people to work them. 12 hour shifts doesn't always work into people's lives.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
That 4th 12 hour shift in a row

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
As expected. Environment is was always rushed and culture what culture 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in and rush, to do the work just to be stopped to do something else

I loved the work I did and the people that I worked with but some people take advantage of the power they have. Supervisor of Customer Service made her decisions to let people go based on her personal feelings and based on her friend getting let go.She also talks to others within the office about there co-workers and there job performance, which is highly inappropriate!! Sad too because she was really looked up to when it came to her actual job as a supervisor and how hard she worked.

I designed utility buildings for railway and power companies. 3D CAD models and 2D drafts were made in Solid Edge, and circuit diagrams were made in AutoCAD.

Management was great, and was always open to suggestions from employees on how to make the workplace more efficient. When helpful suggestions were implemented, the employee that suggested it would get a bonus.

This workplace allows (and even encourages) people to bring their dogs to work. This helps foster a tight-knit community of coworkers.

Would rate zero stars if possible. There is zero direction in this company. Management claims to back you, then throws you under the bus at the first opportunity. Job procedures change every day, but you are held accountable for following them.  Owner has an “inner circle” of employees that she treats fairly, the rest are disposable and untrusted. Forget about promotions, and pay raises are few and far between. This is the company you work for until you find the job you want, nothing more.
