I cannot even believe this place is allowed to employ people. The interview was great and very professional but that changed starting day one. Upon sitting down I'm told that not many people make it by others around me, and I'm always up for a challenge but not like this one. Politics is in play with everything you do, and work needs to be completed yesterday. I witnessed the ownership on several occasions verbally abusing employees and frankly just flat out throwing a temper tantrum. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the consequences they will give you when you do something they don't like... They will not fire you but instead they will make your life miserable until you quit, or act out and then they will fire you based on insubordination.

The job listing is 100% inaccurate. They say they are looking for a ".NET Programmer" but there listing is completely false. Upon entering the job you will have ZERO guidance as a result of some chain of events that has pulled their other "extremely talented" developer elsewhere in the company. They will have you work on stuff like Fortran, Cobal and other decrepit technologies that even your Grandpa would laugh at. If you refuse, or tell them that's not what I'm here to do they will say "I thought you were a developer this should be easy..." 

The pay is awful because they want you to work overtime although you will be bored by noon with nothing to do. Don't waste your time.

Just about everyone I talked to has some degree of animosity toward ownership or management.

My manager used to come in around noon. I was never tasked with anything after a month on the job, when I started to ask for things to do they got upset and showed me the door. If you want to waste your time here you better grow thick skin, buy a thick jacket (Its cold), bring headphones (Its loud), and a good book to read.

Your manager will monitor your every movement with pinhole cameras in the ceiling, so don't take too long in the bathroom or they will encourage you to eat oatmeal.

A typical day at work would start with checking my email to see if there are any problems and then get instructions from management of tasks that need to be completed. I learned how to use pixie boot to install Windows OS, how to troubleshoot problems with computers, securing the network servers physically so that only authorized personnel have access, and how to pixie boot computers to install Windows 10. The management was very good and would help out whenever they could. I knew what my expectations were and the management was always friendly.

Routine for me but not boring. Every one are happy all day. I don't see any drama. The people are committed to the job for the long run

This is good company for an entry level person to learn a lot about manufacturing and machine tools. Depending on what direction you would like to go, you can also learn a lot about solid modeling and/or CNC programming. However, it can take a very long time to have any decision making power about manufacturing. It becomes difficult to apply any knowledge you might learn because of this.
