RMS Company

rms is a company on the cutting edge of everything it does.  The work is challenging and rewarding on many levels.  

rms is an elite team of technically skilled people of varying disciplines, doing what they do best for a common goal.  This is not a machine shop pounding fender washers for profit - this is a world class manufacturing facility making components that save lives.  Because every part will help someones quality of life, there is a great sense of duty and purpose each and every day you come to work.  

As a new machinist at rms, it may take you a while to realize that at the level rms operates at, some of the things done inside those 4 walls simply cannot be done at other companies.  Machinists may go home tired at rms - but it is their minds that have been challenged during the work day, and not their bodies.  

An entire career can be built under this single roof.  Your drive to learn and grow can take you in many directions.  There is a strong culture of promoting from within.  The company is constantly growing, learning to adapt to new challenges, and creating pathways for its employees to grow with it.  





The company itself is decent. They have monthly OE lunches to reward employees that save the company’s time or money. They also hand out Turkeys for thanksgiving and hams for Christmas. Benefits aren’t bad, company paid. Clinic on site. You will either strive or fail. Machinists typically work ten hour days and usually mandatory overtime during “month end”. Any other area you’re paid very little and work a lot of hours. It’s like High school. Backstabbers gossip etc. Managers oversee their daughters, no room for advancement and litany of favoritism. Stay away from The cardio department unless you’re a machinist. 

If your new machinist you get the opportunity to learn new things and you keep being placed on new machines every few months. You can always apply for a different position inside the company in a different department. If you need time off to go to an appointment there flexible to make it up on Fridays if you're working for 4 10 hour shifts with Friday's optional sometimes mandatory depends on the Department. They hire Managers from within so there's advancement opportunities. It can be stressful because if you get faster at getting jobs out the door rather than catching up on work and being pulled back to 40 hours they throw more work at you so that you're still stuck at 50s.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Co workers are the best part. If you’re able to find someone that’ll help you out opportunities to learn.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Med to low wages with the expectation to do more than your pay.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s ok depending on your co workers. Culture if your not in the in group your wages will be low with no chance to catch up to others.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Running cnc machines. Fixing tool changes. But man 3 machines your forced to run is too much especially with the wages not up to par.

Through acquisitions, and organically developing the leadership team, they are poised for a strong position in the med-tech space. Rapid growth in recent years has resulted in some growing pains, and strained some of the operating companies, but these strains are recognized and the ownership and leadership is highly focused on improving this. Overall, this company aims to invest in good people, create long term career opportunities at all levels, and ultimately put the business in a strong long term position for future generation shareholders.

I have been working for RMS for a little over 3 years and I have not experienced any negativity, neglect, discrimination of any kind from any one on the floor nor from management. In less than 3 years at the company i went from being a Level 2 machinist to becoming a cell leader. This company from what Iv'e seen in over the years is one of the most diverse, accommodating, and fair companies I have worked for. The managers as well as the directors are not only knowledgeable about the products and machines but will bend over backwards to help you to succeed as best they can  

You typically go in to work on same parts for a couple months before moving to others. A lot of solvents used so I recommend wearing latex gloves. Underpaid workers. You don't really get to know managers unless you are on first shift. Upper management are focused on utility only and wants efficiency and numbers at the end of the day. Honestly, going home is the best part of the workday and having the weekends off for me. It's a place to start if you are looking for some experience though. Not too hard to get into at the moment.

Advance, very clean machine shop. Good benefits. Great place if you want to learn Machining. I talk to several people there at RMS. That been there for yrs. They say RMS doesnt pay. Considering what all we do, the difficulty of parts they pay poor. Below pay average. Empty promises. After getting a Outstanding review with empty promise. Plus talk to several co worker about pay. Decide RMs isnt the place that pays outstanding workers. End up applying several company. End up getting  3 company that over me 3.50 more then what RMS was paying  me. I made a Great move leaving RMS

Boys club of small group of cell leads who watch each other back and play favertism.   Management has more bad apples than good making it very hard for the upper-level management to know who to trust.  I recall cell leads bragging about how many times and how much they enjoy cleaning recent employees lockers out after they walk them out of the building.  And how long it took them to get them out.  Place is a revolving door.  Don't sing the non-compete form. Never seen a promote from within company go so wrong.

I have been with rms for almost 8 years and they continue to grow and expand. I had little to no experience and hard work and training paid off and put me into a cell leader roll. Working conditions are above the industrial standard from cleanliness to maintenance and management. 
One of the best things about rms is how much they care about their employees. They provide turkeys and hams for the Holidays and have a Holiday bonus for all employees. Benefits are good and fair compared to other companies. I couldn't imagine working anywhere else.
