Pride Mobility

First and foremost, this company (Western region) is shadowed by the HQ in PA. No matter what work is done here it should reflect PA which is not plausible due to the fact PA has different work instructions and has an almost 5:1 assembler ratio. Management is a bit awkward, there is a total of two managers (one who isn't even in charge of anyone in the building; they're in charge of two individuals in PA but works here). The production supervisor (new) who micromanages EVERYBODY as if the world is going to end if an assembler isn't blindly assembling some component for the product that will be coming down the assembly line the following day and or week later because the logistics portion (they're also in charge of) fails multiple times to order parts ahead of time. Also if you plan on indulging yourself with relaxation during your 15 minute breaks or 30 minute lunch forget it!  You have to be back at your station and ready (tools in hand) at least 3 minutes before the break/lunch is over and if you're even a minute late you will be written up because the production supervisor sits at the entrance to the production floor and watches every employee enter the production floor. The production lead was fine, very helpful and had a vast knowledge of most of the products the company offered. Lack of a ME (Manufacturing Engineer) on site, when something is broken or needs to be altered or the "program" used for work instructions is incorrect we have to wait for PA to come to town and pretend (I mean pretend) to fix the issue. When I started in 2018 there was a list for change request from 1 work station that started back in November 2017 and was not looked at until April 2018 when some things were fixed. They need an ME on site and refuse to hire one. Before I left they decided to make everyone cross-train so no matter what they had a backup for each station; unfortunately employees began being terminated almost every two weeks before anyone could be trained to back fill. The company is disorganized and if you want "advance" here you have to brown nose. 
To summarize management: 
Production Manager - cool guy, laid back but not familiar with assembly nor can they perform the assembly. 
Production Supervisor - micro-manager no idea what each assembler is assembling nor can they perform the assembly. 
Production Lead - Great guy, very knowledgeable.
Stay away from Quality, the're two-faced and will throw you under the bus and trade places with the driver to ensure the bus drives over you forward and backwards. But truth is Quality has no idea how to assemble any of the chairs (kind of odd, shouldn't quality be the best of the best?). LAST BUT NOT LEAST if it's YOUR birthday you get an hour lunch! But to receive this hour long lunch you MUST watch a 30 minute video about the company (has nothing to do with your birthday) then you MUST participate in the festivities (which are not really for you). If you choose not to do any of the two you get a 30 minute lunch and looked down upon. If you're looking for a job with a WWII structured assembly line this is for you!

This company was once the pinnacle of the industry, when Medicare unknowingly compensated for overpriced wheelchairs, the money rolled in year after year. The poorly operated company was still able to flourish with free money flowing in. Times were still good for all employees as incompetent management and poor leadership were shrouded by high profit margins from a nearly bottomless source. Now with significant changes in Medicare, the government realized exactly what they were dishing out thousands of dollars for and quickly turned the faucet off. Now with government assistance turned off, the true ugly soul of Pride Mobility is exposed. Mid and upper level management have absolutely no idea of how to run a business. Every day is a political struggle fueled by hopeless promises made in meeting after meeting, not once thinking about the future and how to better it, but rather how to bus-pass the next manager and their "team". The person in charge portrays an image of apathy, as if the fight is over and he would rather be running in the next marathon or cycle race; and this mindset flows downward throughout all levels. A sinking feeling, going to work now knowing if today is the day I get laid off; like so many former employees in the past year and a half. A sinking feeling indeed, sinking like the entire company. You don't want to work here, you don't want to work in Northeast Pennsylvania. The entire area is like an old photograph, once beautiful but now an worn out image of itself. Everyone is leaving this area, the ones staying are not the people you want to work or be friends with.

everyday produces new challenges and work expiernces,in the past year and a half ive learned that building and shipping the product we make is made for someone who depends on it to get around in their lives. and knowing that makes me feel good on the inside.management is is good they have there good days and bad days just like everyone else they like being able to joke around once in awhile and make sure everyone is happy with their job and see that were getting the job done. my co workers are somefun people to work with they like to have fun as well theres never a dull moment at work with them around always something new to talk about.the hardest part of the job right now is the 10 hour days but im use to it now i have no problem being on my feet for long periods of time as long as i can move every so often so i dont cramp up im ok with it.the most enjoyable part of the job is the three day weekends but thats why we work 10 hour shifts because there isnt many orders around this time of the year so they compacted our shifts to work four ten hour shifts and be able to make fourty hours a week but then they reward us with 3 days off which gives us time to relax get things done at home and still have time to relax before heading back to work

I have been with Pride Mobility since 2007, and it's rare to find a company where you can build such a long and rewarding career. One of the biggest reasons I've stayed is the people. My team works extremely well together, and there is a strong sense of collaboration and support within our department. We genuinely help each other succeed, and over the years I've built relationships that have made coming to work enjoyable. It's also rewarding to know that the work we do helps improve the lives of our customers.

Another reason I've enjoyed my career here is that I'm always learning. In my field, technology is constantly changing, Pride and management have given me opportunities to take on new challenges, develop new skills, and continue growing professionally. The work keeps me engaged and busy, and no two days are exactly the same. Pride also offers excellent benefits and values its employees, which has made it a great place to work and grow for nearly two decades.
What truly sets Pride apart for me is the level of trust and freedom that the company and its management provide. Throughout my career, I have been trusted to make decisions, take ownership of my work, and contribute in meaningful ways. That level of confidence and support is unmatched and has played a significant role in both my professional growth and overall job satisfaction.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working at Pride Mobility as a facilities maintenance tech has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Being able to be a part a company who tirelessly builds quality chairs for people to help them regain independence through mobility solutions makes this role truly meaningful. The team is supportive, the mission is powerful, and every day feels like an opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life. Grateful to be part of an organization that genuinely cares about the people it serves and their employees.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The primary challenge associated with employment at the company pertains to achieving a satisfactory work-life balance and adapting to evolving work schedules.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company demonstrates flexibility, a friendly environment, and effective communication. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I choose my workload and is prioritized daily. Check lists are made and completed as well as action reports emailed on a daily basis if necessary. Lunch breaks are 30 minutes with 2, 15 minutes every two hours.

I've been with Pride Mobility since February of 2017, so in relation to other employees I'm still a newbie.Within that short time period, I have had an ample amount of opportunity to advance myself in my career.  It's no wonder why a good portion of the employees that work here have been here 15+ years.  I had come from a completely different career path (electronic mortgages) so I came into this position with no experience other than general customer service.  The interview process was very laid back, and although I held no medical experience, I successfully landed the job within the Quantum Rehab division of the company.  Needless to say, management and HR are extremely open to their applicants, and are more than willing to provide the necessary training for someone with as little experience as myself.  Throughout my career here, the company has provided me the resources necessary to thrive, and has held numerous events to show their appreciation to their employees. It's a very fast paced environment, so it can be stressful, but management in my department has done all that they can to resolve stress and offer help in whatever way they can.  Overall, I love my job, and I appreciate all that the company has to offer!

I have been working for pride mobility for just over three years now. Just like any job it’s what you make of it. Guaranteed 40 hrs a week, some overtime towards the end of the month to push numbers. Paid vacation depending on how long you are with company, also paid sick time. Benefits are fantastic. 401k with company match. Pride mobility also has an ESOP program as well. Honestly the work is not hard very easy to learn if you are willing to listen and put in the work. Obviously just like any other job pride mobility has rules in place and if you choose not to follow them there are consequences. If you show up to work everyday on time ,work hard you will be rewarded. Managers are very easy going, very understanding and always listen if you have problems. Open door policy with headquarters in Pennsylvania with direct numbers to higher up bosses you can contact whenever you like. Human Resources again very approachable and professional. Pride mobility has a family picnic every year also has several cook outs for employees throughout the year.  I have really enjoyed my time at pride mobility these last three years and look forward to many more years with the company.

I worked at Pride Mobility for 11 years, I was in customer service for the first 10 and than without warning I was switched to data entry for our Canada facility, I was not trained properly for this specific job but did the best I can learning as I went day by day through chat with the Canadian employees, due to cut backs through out the entire company I was one of the unlucky ones to be let go, the hardest part of the job was that last year when I was put into the position of entering our Canada facility orders, this was done in a totally different method than I was used to and by not receiving the proper training it was like a personal challenge, not the hardest part of the job but the hardest part to believe was the week I was let go rather than put me back into customer service I was let go due to cut backs yet 2 people were hired for customer service that very same week

Pride Mobility was one of the worst jobs I've ever had in my entire life! Between the management and your co workers, I don't know who is worse. Your bosses will sabatage you and your co workers will stab you in the back. It was the biggest gossip whole around. The most childish people I've ever worked with in my entire life. Everyone knew everyone else's business. Instead of focusing on their jobs, they were all worried about plotting their next moves. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Management doesn't care about customers needs they only care about numbers and getting their monthly bonuses. They force employees to stay at the end of the month and work overtime to get every last power chair out the door even if they are built wrong and faulty. No wonder they are sewed all the time!!! They give you last minute notice to stay and it's only to benefit themselves. If your looking for overtime to help yourself out or your family they turn you down. They are not family oriented like they say they are.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I believe there are many rewards to working at pride.  The most important one is knowing the impact that you have on others and providing them  with a form of independence.  Also,  there are many cases of employees including myself have been given a opportunity for advancement through the  years.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When people may be sick getting the needed employees to fill to keep us running as efficiently as possible.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very family oriented.  Employees are friendly and get along with each other.    

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I spend majority of the day on the production floor helping in any way I can.  Chasing parts, filling in for an employee, answering question on the build process  and anything we can do to maximize output.
