RHI Magnesita

RHI is running all the good employees away and couldn’t care less about the morale of its employees. Since RHI took over it has pushed its focus on pinching pennies, maximizing production numbers and quite simply ruining the outlook of all employees by expecting more and more everyday while giving less. 

They force goals and numbers down everybody’s throats while making everything you do more of a hassle and twice as much work for the same task. Their SAP computer system is incredibly time consuming, frustrating and outdated. This all comes from overseas now so nobody in the US can do anything about it.

The York plant used to be extremely hard to get your foot into the door for many reasons like pay, fully paid excellent benefits, and overall a company that took care of and appreciated its employees. Those days are long gone! Abysmal or flat out zero yearly wage increases for many years didn’t help things. This place is now a revolving door and getting worse every day.

The once per year bonus used to be amazing and now they are about 1/3 to 1/4 the amount they used to be.

I could go on and on. But please if you are thinking about applying here, do yourself a favor and don’t. The overseas head honchos will continue to strip away benefits/pay while they continue to force the most inefficient ways of doing things (for ground floor workers) for years to come.



I loved my time working here. However, I did notice that extra tasks were slowly being added to my job description to the point I was working two jobs from one desk. There was a year when I had no manager over me, and I decided to take over. My pay never reflected the extra things I was carrying out, to the point it felt draining. Then after a year of keeping my branch running smoothly without a manager, they moved someone from another department and gave them the manager position without even consulting me to see if I wanted the position. All because the hiring manager knew the one person, who coincidently was about to lose his sales manager job because of a massive lay-off.  I worked there 6 more months and left. I aspired to grow within the company but they showed me it was impossible. It was more important to hire connections and friends than hire aspiring professionals. Sad really. I made many connections around the world. 

Honestly this place pays well and benefits are not bad. Geez the vacation that is offered is a joke other companies are offering way more time even coming in the front door as a new hire. The pay has to be correct or they know no one would do the labor intensive work. The training program is a joke your at a station for 3 days off paperwork then after that your co employees dont care about you they will slam you with brick everytime. Very dangerous and hard on your body. Also you get logs where if you get to many you lose your pay and do the same work as everyone else for less. Again back to that training program is a joke and sets you up to fail. Very fast pace very hot. If anyone is looking for a job there is plenty of 20$ + hr jobs available pass this one by i promise you wont regret it

This company used to have a line out the door not even 10 years ago, literal wait lists of people with their fingers crossed hoping they could even dream of landing a job at this place. The work has always been difficult but there was great pay and benefits for everyone. Now, we seem to be paying barely above other competitors in the area and any bonuses that used to exist here have been stripped. RHI has stripped the York plant of its dignity, we are forced to work harder due to the higher expectation of our plant's production vs other plants globally. It is constantly balls-to-the-wall on the go 24/7. Yet we have been standardized in the idea of "fairness" with other plants that will never have to put in the effort it takes to perform here. Only good things left about this place are the decent pay and the benefits. Save your sanity and go somewhere else.

After over many years, I can say the last 10 years it went down fast.   Started with putting none maintenance people in charge of maintenance  and expecting it to run like a production line.  Only got worst with large turnover rate and poor management promoting their friends that agree with them.   You could tell in advance who was getting the job base on what you saw in the plant.   No rules for engineering, so they all did what they want with whatever software or hardware they wanted to put in, which in turn created an environment that made them rely on engineering staff 24/7.  Also we were always trying to get by on parts that we didn't carry because of no standardization.   I hope it gets better, but with it being owned by a foreign country, I doubt that it will.

terrible and toxic agendas by people who throw their weight around in order to get their way. The lady over them now is horrible don’t take this job, want better for yourself 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You start off literally at least 30 minutes late everyday and then you get started on a AOD furnace or Ladle then you work on bricking them up or whatever step in the building process you are on and then you work on it until you either finish or the day ends

I worked there for 5+ years and have been asked to lie by management on about several important things. They operate with strong dishonesty so trust is not a good option. There is nothing in terms of advancing positions. The pay is decent but raises are twenty five cents on a good year.  Many payroll issues. They are in constant litigation with former employees and customers. Quality and safety are not top priority.  The facts don't matter as much as opinions there.  It's a job not a career. If you are looking for a fair shot keep looking because they stack the deck. I genuinely wold not recommend working here and will be leaving shortly.

Management treats you like a child. Employee morale is extremely low due to the company constantly taking away benefits. Pay does not remotely match amount of work or expected knowledge. They’ll spend money on TVs, paint, useless safety gear, and other pointless things and then say they can’t afford to keep the same insurance benefits or increase pay while also making billions. If you don’t pay your employees well, you pay exponentially more on equipment repairs from lack of maintenance, manpower, and employees who are fed up and no longer care. The only positives about this place are my fellow coworkers. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is the only good thing, everything else is terrible. Management doesn’t have your back.

Deadlines we have to reschedule do to machines breaking down regularly but the team is getting better at solving these issues faster.

Friendly and team oriented every area must mess well or things won’t get done right
