Do NOT work for ResourceMfg in Cheyenne, WY.  Magpul contracts with a staffing company ResourceMfg.  Start at $10.50 per hour with absolutely No training in any department.

ResourceMfg contracts with Magpul Industries for staffing.  ResourceMfg charges Magpul $3 per contract employee per hour.  Not a bad gig.  Approximaltely 100 ResourceMfg employees at Magpul before any layoff.  This equates to $300 per hour for ResourceMfg. I work 60 hours per week so ResourceMfg makes 60 X $3 or $180 per week on one employee.

The toxic workplace lead to employee burnout, fatigue, and downright illness. Employees often calling in sick and fighting colds at their workstation and afraid to miss work or be terminated.

Our group initiated with 17 in our onboarding group in 2017.  Today, I am the only remaining employee.  I only stay because I can work 60 hours per week.  

Extremely high rates of turnover very few stay longer than 3 months.  Why?  Because you are under daily stress to produce numbers.  You are not a person, you are a statistic.

Our onboarding consisted of a ResourceMfg employee (older female Kim) who knew absolutely nothing about Magpul.  Exact words, they make military stuff.  Our initial ID Badges took a month to obtain from ResourceMfg. Once a month a ResourceMfg person would walk the production floor.  Weekly new hire tours for potential victims unaware of the toxic work environment conducted by ResourceMfg who knew nothing of the production floor.

The rules change on a daily basis depending on the direction of the wind. A lack of basic fairness is a good way to fuel a mutiny at work. When person A gets scolded for the same behavior that gets person B promoted, it feels like there’s no clear rubric for advancement, and it creates a sense of favoritism amongst employees.

Resource MFG in Tucson AZ needs to develop contracts with new clients. They simply do not have enough work available to keep associates truly busy. Some months you can get no work even though you are on a list for a recurring monthly assignment because the client decides not to order many agency temps. Anybody that tells you that Resource MFG's temp assignments can generate the income of a full-time job is a liar. You will simply be making basically supplemental income. The most I ever made in a year was a little over $4,000.00 gross. My assignment is not temp to hire either. It just a way to make extra money. To be fair Resource MFG has done a way better job in keeping me busy than other temp agencies. At least one client can be extremely demanding also. Like try no afternoon breaks and stupid policies that make you think you are working for an organization headed up by little kids. To be fair to the client Tucson AZ has a bunch of crummy employers so my experience with one client is probably comparable to the experience that employees have with many Tucson employers. I have not worked for any other of Resource MFG's clients. I would also like to add that Resource MFG gives Associates the ability to take free classes to better themselves. I have NEVER been offered that opportunity from the many temp agencies that I have worked for in the past and I have worked for at least eight of them.

I Applied online with ResourceMFG for a Assembly line position paying 14 to 17$ per hour. Did a prescreen phone interview and recieved and email with interview time and to bring 2 forms of id, do a drug screen and be prepared to stay up to 2 hour for testing etc. Receptionist sent me back and i was asked by the interviewer why was I there. She was  standoffish and more concern with eating her lunch rather than conduct my interview. I found this to be very rude and unprofessional. No drug screen or computer assessments was done. The position applied for was 14 to 17 dollars an hour however, I was told they had nothing paying 14$ at this time but the position I applied for was reposted on company website that same day. I was told if something came up, I would be contacted later. Absolutely nothing was done and was a total waste of my time. You do not have someone come onsite and ask them to bring in legal documents, prepare for a drug screening clear 2 hours from your schedule if you have nothing to offer them or at least take the time and conduct a interview. I went down the street to another temp agency the atomosphere was welcoming, professional and I  have an interview scheduled for a job that pays 19$ an hour. I rather stand on a corner holding a sign then seek work from the OKC ResourceMFG Branch. The only positive thing i can say was the hispanic lady working there was kind.

Great environment to start. At the time when I started I LOVED working for the company, coworkers felt like family. The hours were long, there were times I had to work well past 5pm until 6:45-7:00pm and on Saturdays when needed. So job work/life balance was really terrible. Then I moved branches and the branch I switched too didn't believe in working past 5pm, if it didn't get done by the end of the work day , it could wait until tomorrow. I did work remotely for some time and that was fantastic!! Then I moved to an onsite location. Great location, great coworkers. Just feel like sometimes favoritism is played there, but that will happen anywhere you go. Work load is good, but there are times when you get pulled to help other people and your job doesn't stop because you are helping them so then you get behind.. So it would be great if there were others that could help out at the branch level instead of pulling people off their jobs to do other jobs.


Benefits-
The pay is not compensated fairly, you have to beg for raises. (Billion dollar company and the employees don't get paid well enough.) Paid time off used to be great when you could bank as many hours now you can only save up to 120 hours.

Let me start by saying Resource MFG is a temp to hire agency. If your looking for work, they have it! 
Ok, now for my experience. I was let go by my previous company for reasons unknown. Placed my resume online and was contacted by Resource MFG. All the paperwork was done online, which made things simple. I was contacted by their office and asked a few basic questions about what I was looking for and any restrictions I may have. We set up an interview for that afternoon. Upon arrival, the staff was warm and friendly. I was given two assessment tests to see what my qualifications were and took a drug screen. Upon completing the final paperwork, I was given an assignment in Grafton. Upon my arrival there, I was greeted warmly and treated with respect. The area they placed me in suited me. The hours are great! You get two 15 min breaks and a 30 min lunch break that are evenly spread out. My coworkers are a delight to work with and the overall experience has been more than pleasant.
Final note:
If your just looking for a paycheck, Resource MFG probably isn't for you, BUT if you seriously want to work and are looking to be treated with respect, this is the place for you.

A typical day at work would be very busy, possible doing more work than others (more than your job) due to Manpower issues. I've learned all within my 5+ years working here. It's easier being a Team Member rather being a leader in the company. You'll only have control your own work ethic and not others. If there is any issues that causing you to break your STW inform a leader and the rest is in their control. No headaches, no stress. I volunteered for safety coordinator for my group and learned a lot about Safety in the meetings they have once a month. ResourceMFG also provides FREE Online Courses through Penn Foster. Management, I feel do their job and do it thoroughly but fail to communicate concerns with the groups. The Workplace culture for me, was normal for a factory. The hardest part of the job would be not having the supplies you need to do the job/get the job done. After ordering supplies, it would take weeks to get gloves, ear plugs, proper PPE for your work station. Not having the training to read a 1/120th or even build flowracks due to model changes and process layouts. Part shortages, calling them in at the call point and having any parts to send dollies out with empty slots. The most enjoyable part of the job... Free online courses you can get certifications and pizza for Prefect Attendance?

I worked on an assembly line as a production team member some of the processes required moving parts that aren’t too light, other processes didn’t. Repetitive simple task that require attention to detail. If the weight  movement is a bit much it takes a toll on your body, good nutrition/hydration are important along with staying active to ensure you stay physically healthy.

Often 10-12 hour shifts, on rare occasions do you work only 8 hours or are given the option to go home early or use PTO. Employer is big on accountability, so you spend quite some time making sure to arrive on time, getting out of work might take some time as well, depending on traffic if the next shift is arriving, all this taken into consideration with a needed 6-8 hours of sleep plus commuting and you have 2-4 hours of free time a day. It’s a great job if you want to stack your money and not have much of a life outside of work 

My managers were ok, this is a job some people have been at for YEARS so some seem burnt out others are positive and encouraging.  But you see less of the latter. Fellow employees are also hit or miss, which is important when you spend more time at work then not at work.

I worked at ace world companies, through resource mfg. I worked there for 97 days was told I would be hired that they liked me and what I was doing, I was able to do the work with minimal coaching as I has been doing steel work for 10 years, they are understaffed so im thinking alright a fulltime job.  well the very next day after I was told I was going to be hired, I got a phone call on my way home from work from resource that I was not to report to work the next day but I could come pick up my tools the next day. if you need a temporary job that you don't have to care about take this one, they don't care about you, and if you can do the work and not cause a stir they will work you for 90 days or so, them they let you go and get a new shipment of 2 or 3 guys, they are just using resource for labor that they don't have to be responsible for. its pitiful that any employer would treat real crafts people in this manner, if I was hired I would have been a rock star for them.  CALLING ALL STEEL WORKERS......DO NOT WORK FOR RESOURCE MFG, AND STAY AWAY FROM ACE WORLD COMPANIES 201 w. quincy ave knoxville

Not a hard job by any means, it's just extremely monotonous and boring. The hardest parts for most people are the 12 hour shifts and the rotation from days to nights every two months. It can definitely feel like you have no life outside of work, especially if you put in any overtime. If you work your regular schedule, however, you should be looking at around $300-$350 one week and around $200-$250 the next week. Overtime is time and a half, so you can bring in over $500 with just one extra day. The job itself is only guaranteed for 364 days. They won't keep you past a year for whatever dumb reasons they have, but they will send you to another facility. They'll tell you no phones allowed on the floor but then you'll see your superiors with their phones out surfing through facebook and playing games. You're not allowed to leave the building until you clock out unless you're going to smoke and if you do leave, you can't go sit in your car. There are ways around all the idiotic rules, but it's honestly just a headache to deal with. Save yourself the trouble unless you're desperate.

They said that I would be hired on full time in 90 days but I ended up Working for them proudly for 151 days until I was eventually hired full time by the company where I was placed.
Later, despite having 3 written recommendations from former supervisors they called me and told me that they have suspended my account indefinitely(no reason was given). When I called  their corporate office to ask why I was being treated this way the manager was very upset with the local office and assured me they would get the issue fixed since I did nothing wrong. 2 years later and I am still banned from applying on their site.
Afterwards I attempted to apply at another staffing agency and they would not work with me either because the two different agencies were being run by the same people.
I won't say avoid them if they offer you a job, you gotta take it. Just know that they lie about how long it takes to be hired on permanent and they hold grudges when you go over their heads.
