Paul's-Machine-and-Welding

During my brief time with the company, I worked alongside some highly skilled and dedicated team members in the shop. The technical talent and commitment of certain individuals were impressive and made the work environment collaborative and productive at the team level.

However, I encountered significant challenges with communication and expectations from management. When I was hired, I was informed there would be approximately a year to ramp up due to the role's complexity. Despite this, I was asked to take on major responsibilities within my first month—far earlier than expected. Although I was told my performance had been well-received, when I expressed that I didn’t yet feel ready to take on the additional duties, I was unexpectedly let go shortly afterward.

Following my departure, there were additional issues, including attempts to prevent me from accessing unemployment benefits and delays in receiving COBRA health insurance information, which created unnecessary stress for my family and me.

In my experience, clearer communication of expectations and more consistent follow-through on HR processes could help improve the overall employee experience. I believe that with more structured support and transparency, this workplace could better retain and develop new talent.

I really enjoy working for Paul's Machine.  The reason I am even looking is because I was told I could make more money and have now been told I am toped out.  There is no room for advancement, and I have asked to help in other departments with a lot of promises, but nothing has come thru. I really just wanted Paul's to appreciate my work and allow me a place to grow and have the opportunity to make a good living.  All this being said, Paul's is a great company and I wish them only the best.

Worked here for a couple years. Only a handful of complaints. Very flexible and respectful of your personal obligations. Employees have a lot of freedom and I never felt micromanaged. Open Book Management policy so employees are privy to company financials etc. Decent benefits. Massive variety of work. Biggest complaint is rampant and unchecked nepotism. 

Hard to figure out what actual job entailed until around 6 months on the job. A typical day would entail calling on current customers while cold calling in that area.80% of my business was 2- 6 hours away from the shop location. I was in charge of my agenda as long as the sales goals were surpassed. My coworkers in the sales department helped me quite a lot.

This is a local, multi-generational, family-owned business that has great customer service and is respectful to their employees.  Benefits are good for the small size of the business.  They focus on both the work-family and the employee-family making sure to respect the balance.  Good place to work, build solid relationships, and advance your career.

Initial acceptance as a new employee was a long road, but once trust was developed the work environment was a good one.

The learning opportunities are available as the work scope is extremely diverse.  The group as a whole is a hard working skilled and knowledgeable set of people that are good to work with.

I found Paul's to be a place where I could enhance the growth of my skills while working alone side some guys that were highly experienced and professional at what they do, and some fun loving guys to work with!

· Secured this position because of my previous experience in galvanized weldments
· Improved the efficiency of their Galvanized Intermediate jobs
· Advanced my skills in TIG welding
· Adapted my skill set to a new project daily
· Eliminated the need for superiors to inspect my duties early on

People are great to work with on the floor the management is subpar and scattered with no communication and no accountability  pay is decent.  But vacation time is a joke  and subpar to be nice about it 

I'd work there again if called back.  Poor crew leadership and input from team leaders.  Verbally abusive to temp for hire guys.  Tolerable temp guys to work with and crew vehicles were a plus.
