Precision Pulley and Idler

An easy going company, with room for advancements. Constantly growing and expanding.  Employee owned, so don't worry about this company being sold out.  Friendly co-workers, laid back management. Company wide fun events- at work and away from work, to boost company morale, and awesome benefits. 
The one positive thing that I have learned in the 22 years of working for PPI  is that if you don't know how to do something, they will work with you and get you trained, whether it is employees or customers. 

Now for the negative.....there is ALOT of favoritism that goes on between management and employees. If your a woman in the floor production at the Idler division, you won't get very far in advancement for supervisor jobs, men are what the management prefers, obviously. I've only seen one woman supervisor in the 22 years of working there, and a countless amount of men who became supervisors. 
Management knows that employees are breaking company rules, such as cell phone use; leaving company grounds; smoking in non designated areas; not wearing safety equipment; and not in there assigned working area--(clock suckers), during working hours.  They threaten, but do nothing about it, other than just lecturing everyone over and over on the same broken rules, expecting them to not do it again. Plan to sit through plenty of meetings getting chewed out over someone else's breaking of the rules ! 

Other than that, it's the best company around to work for, you won't find another like it !!!!!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Everything about this company I liked every thing. I was there as a temp. They let me go do to slow business two weeks before my transition date. But the Manager did fight for me but corporate decision was final and it was out of the managers hands. I understood though. But I will say this much if I were ever offered a job full time with them I wouldn't even hesitate. This is a place you can absolutely retire from. I miss that job a lot.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Rush orders but that's anywhere you go other than that it's a awesome place to be.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Relaxing, the supervisor only comes to check to make sure that you are ok. It's not a factory it's a fabrication shop. You have a lot of freedom. It's one of the reasons I liked my job.

Laid back and easy going as long as you do your job it's all good.

Arive clock in go to designated work area and talk to prior shift crew and see how things are going and what needs done. Such as rush orders or special orders or colors that may need to be done.

Did not realize until after I left how good I had it.  No other company treats a person as well as they did.  I recommend PPI to anyone looking for a job.  I let them know that is a extremely physical job but, at the end of the day you have accomplished something.  I loved the days that we would start, finish and load an order. It was a great feeling.  Not every job do you get to see your work completely done and be able to load it on a truck the same day.  I was a female working with 100 men, yes we had our days but, everyday started over and everyone got to work.

They screwed over employees at PFI, a company they previously owned that I worked at. When they sold the company, they took away the ESOP for that year, costing employees 10s of thousands of dollars. Also corporate was always a pain to work with. All they care about is profitability and lining their pockets. They also took away a bonus adder and gave the bare minimum at separation. Again, costing employees thousands of promised dollars. In the end, they showed their true colors.  If work with good people is something you care about, I wouldn't recommend here.

Although I was only temporarily, I enjoyed my time at Precision Pulley and Idler. My supervisor and coworker were a pleasure to work with! The hardest thing about this job was making sure orders were secured and tagged right. The most enjoyable thing about this job was welding idlers for me. Everyday was the same just about, except 1-2 times a week I'd maybe asked to weld other than that it was assembly and logistics daily.

PPI is a company that is a ESOP company. This allows everyone to get stocks in the company since it is employee owned. The work environment is a good environment aside from the few individuals you will work with anywhere you go.

Good Place with Great Benefits competitive wages vacation days Good hours there is nothing more to say I've enjoyed working there all the years and maybe more to come .

I started as a shop helper.  I learned how to apply rubber to giant pulleys and provide a good quality product to the customer.  During my time I got to learn other skills in the shop as I moved along.  Great people worked there and I loved it.
