Radius Aerospace Inc.

You'd pretty much just be moving parts through their stations like on/off the stretch press or oven rack, and often times you'll have to move them in or out of freezers as well. 
Over 1 year I've learned how to fill out paperwork, stay up for 16 hours, and drive a forklift. 
Most of the experienced deeply knowledgeable workers have moved on or plan on retiring asap. I dont have much faith in our management and from what I've gathered neither do they.
The hardest part is putting up with some of the nonsense that goes on and not hurting yourself by doing stupid things around deep 15+ ft deep pits or sharp objects. Shelbyville is kind of a step child to hot springs, and a good bit of equipment is decades old. Certain members of management also fail to thoroughly communicate changes or issues without being vague, or straight up contradicting themselves in more than one instance. Also being careful with creasing/scratching parts is a must. Also, lots of holes in the floor, scratch, trip, burn, and chemical burn hazards.
On the plus side you'll have amazing coworkers for the most part, and they'll hire you pretty much right out of high school. 

The management is awful. If you aren’t one of their “buddies” they will treat you very differently and hold you accountable for things they don’t hold their buddies accountable for. Like taking an extra 5 minutes on break when their buddies take an extra 10-15 minutes and they say nothing. Or when you bring some sort of food into the shop they will say you need to throw that away when their buddies walk around with a plate of food eating it in the shop. They will come up and ask questions and then blow you off while you are answering and talk to someone else or get on their phone to act busy. Also they like to pretend to know what they’re talking about even though they have never actually done the work of your department and really only worked in one department in their whole 20+ years at the company and got promoted just because of that. There is so many issues with these people it’s laughable and it’s very clear they play favorites every single day and the people above them don’t care at all either. What a joke of a company. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The leniency & Breaks 
Or down time 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management 
A Walking OSHA violation 
The high school clicks 
Unnecessary change in a process to 
slow down more production in areas 
Skipping processes and coming back to them later to speed things up in some areas
Pushed a lot of well-known veterans or well educated shop staff out that been there 6-15+ years 
& for the job they do 10-12hrs a day some departments should be making at least $27/hr or more 



What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hot work areas /Cold Freezers 
Parts range 1lb-400lbs 
Culture chill between coworkers fun goofy shifts but high school clicks and unnecessary unprofessionalism

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
it wasn’t bad some days it was just the people
Hot and heavy and managers, micromanage and push things it is not a factory. It is a machine shop and a craftsman shop

I was lied to immediately, told I would be working 4 10's but after I was hired, I was expected to stay after on Mondays and Wednesday and come in on Fridays

Managers who have no idea how to do the job of they people who they manage yet they love to micromanage everything about your day.

My area used to have four people to meet quota but only had two when I was hired including me, I was given a single week of training and was expected to do the work of four people. Our quota was 10 jobs a day, 40 in a week, also while we need to receive material and keep the material organized, we would have to get the help of another department every other day to meet quota, we would get just above 40 jobs done a week, an average of 10 jobs a day, we were then told that we can't average 10 jobs a day, we have to complete 10 jobs a day.

Management, from top to bottom is bad.

If you aren't one of their buddies or long time friends, you won't be treated as fairly as others. Most of the people who work here are friends, direct family members or friends of friends.

The work itself isn't bad or hard. Just very boring and mind numbing.

One positive is you can sit in a chair all day and work at a bench.

If management and the Culture changed, this would be a very nice place to work. Pay at first is pretty bad, and some employees who have a decade or more tenure, make less than some employees that have only just begun to work here.

I was extremely excited to work here, and very proud. That feeling quickly faded after dealing with the issues this company brings upon itself and its employees.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
being talked to like a dog .. manager is a real bad person

It's a great place to work if you can get past the horrible management and if you don't expect actually getting their horrible raises they promise and then try to make you jump though hoops for$.50 which is roughly $15/40hrs after taxes if you are lucky or you will do great if you swear your life to them

Was originally Triumph fabrication San Diego. They were decent . It was a good place to work treated the employees well. Good management and workforce for the most part. Then  they sold off.  Once the new ownership was announced  they closed the doors within 2 years sending projects  to   other radius locations at what we found to be much lower wages at least for floor workforce.

Nothing too impressive or too terrible. When aviation slowed down due to the pandemic, all overtime stopped. Not enough money without the overtime. Good benefits, decent work environment, but a few "protected people who had important roles but weren't held accountable.
