A typical day at work was challenging with many departments to interact with to get my job done. I learned to organize, coordinate and learned about all aspects of the company be inteacting with clients, tooling, engineers and CS reps and how a product is marketed and developed. Management  was helpful, imformative, in the present and past history of the company and products. Co-workers worked and communicated excellent when launching product and quality control aspects. The hardest part of the job was to bring together all the elements to complete a full product launch and to pin point new target markets because the product could be applied in a variety of applications. Working with people that cared, and working hard  as a team to complete a successful product launch.

I work 2nd Shift and I have been working for Penn Engineering since February, 2008 as a full time employee. During this time I have learned a lot about Warehouse management, Shipping orders, Quality Inspections. I learned to setup and Operate: Retina Vision Machines, Auto Bagger Machines, Tape and Reel Machines. I learned to use JD Edwards Software, Swift Software, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word. The hardest part about my job is the constant change of my schedule. We work 40 HRS to 50 HRS Mon-Friday. The most enjoyable part of the job is fixing machines when they are broke or trouble shooting them.

•	Performed teardowns (disassembly and parts analysis of a given product) to identify fasteners used in the product, in an effort to proactively approach a manufacturer with more highly engineered and/or cost effective fastener solutions 

•	Developed and maintained MS Excel databases which analyzed key engineering metrics including resistance and torque for fastener characterization 

•	Conducted simulations of installations to analyze failure conditions using Finite Element Analysis 
•	3D printed customers’ products to demonstrate the implementation of PEM’s products 

•	Researched and analyzed the incorporation of RFID technology, friction welding, and nanotechnology into fasteners

Get the numbers and expected projection on the prior day and for the rest of the week.I learned how to troubleshoot and fix tapping machines which acquired a lot of attention to detail using various micro tools.The management was great because they were never over your shoulder they had confidence in their employees abilities.My co-workers were great.There were no hard parts besides inspecting parts because it was just sitting.The fast pace and multitask.

Terrible place to work. Expect to be thrown into chaos with minimal training. Micromanaging CSR supervisor who is constantly irritated and paranoid. Gossipy, clicky, and rude older reps who don’t like anyone new or even take a moment to get to know them. This behavior is allowed and complaints go unaddressed. They offer a decent salary, but beware. Do yourself a favor, don't even bother. You’ll be miserable and will be forced to quit due to the nasty staff, and the extremely chaotic, boring workload. 

From 10$ to 17 in first year of you complete training first year you get 4 one dollar raises 2&3 years you get about a dollar every 6 months then about a dollar yearly after that provided you do training and do your job and come to work attendance is the biggest focus they will work with you and most have zero experience I know I didn’t have any experience

Each employee was responsible for 2/5 spindle screw machines that made steel fasteners. Great management and coworkers. You where compensated for good work performance and attendance.

Operating 8-12 injection molding machines a day out of 24 machines cleaning hoppers changing materials checking parts packing and moving parts starting jobs and completing jobs, friendly place to work team work was always included worked three days one week second week work four days twelve hour days enjoyed the 3-4 for days off unless over time was avalible.

Penn Engineering is ok it has some great people working there that I had the pleasure of working with. The company in a whole is growing and will be a idea for some youths to learn the trade. PEM has a unique approach to the product and it production in making nuts.

Some long days for the management team. All of the employees are aware of the facilities goals and daily objectives. It is one of the cleanest manufacturing plants I have ever seen and this speaks highly of the management and employees respect for each other and the products produced.
