STEELFAB INC

I’ve been with SteelFab Inc. for over 20 years, and it has been a company where hard work and dedication are truly valued. The culture emphasizes teamwork, safety, and quality, which has helped the company grow and maintain its reputation in the industry.

One of the best parts about working here has been the stability — SteelFab has provided steady work and opportunities for me to grow both personally and professionally. Leadership has evolved over time, and the company continues to invest in new technology and processes, which makes it an exciting place for those who want to learn and adapt.

Like any workplace, there are challenges. It’s a fast-paced environment, and deadlines can be demanding. But if you are willing to put in the effort, the rewards are there. The people are supportive, and there’s a strong sense of pride in what we build.

Overall, I’m grateful for the career I’ve had here and would recommend SteelFab to anyone looking for long-term growth in steel fabrication.

This place is one one the most buddy buddy, good ole boy system places I've worked in my 38 years of living. It starts at the plant manager and trickles down. The only way to move up is to kiss a.. and even then it's only in title, not in pay. The plant manager probably was bullied in high school he uses fear to control people (do what I say or you're fired) he talks down to people and is an overall miserable person. The day shift supervisor is a boot licking coward with a napoleon complex that tries to intimidate those around him but if you stand up for yourself he'll tuck his tail and run. The night shift supervisor is job scared so any time the plant manager gets upset he overreacts and makes things 10 times worse. The only reason people stay as long as they do is because of the profit sharing program.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Absolutely port management and they never have been able to treat there employees with any kind of decency or respect they absolutely do not care about the workers in the slightest little bit I believe the best decision I have ever made was to move from there and I can happily say the company I am currently with has been absolutely great and I enjoy being able to go to work everyday now but I wouldn’t recommend Steelfab to anyone just my opinion 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management and being treated as if we had no voice or opinion and the lack of consideration for there employees made it even more terrible 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful pretty much will sum it up

The job itself is 12 hour shifts.  Steelfab uses any and all excuses to fire you if you break any rules. Your not aloud to have a cellphone on you at all ever. Your caught 1 time with a phone,  immediately fired on spot, don't matter how long you worked there or do a good job. No music aloud at all, no radios,  no mp3, no ear peace of any kind aloud. It is absolute silence to work there. You can be fired just for talking,  and they do do that. Every single rule they have is taken extremely serious,  your fired over any rule break of any kind. It doesn't matter what rule. You have to have absolute silence for 12 hours a day every day you work or your fired.  They do random drug tests constantly,  they will do them weekly,  sometimes daily.

It was a stressful job but a good job, cause it was an extremely dangerous place to work due to the fact that you are dealing with huge steel beams all day everyday. The employees that I supervised understood the importance of safety therefore it made my job easier. The hardest part of the job would be getting the beams welded and painted according to specification to please the customer. The most enjoyable part of the job would be when they were properly inspected and loaded on the flatbed trailer to be delivered to the customers, and receiving bonuses for excellent work. Overall Steelfab was a great job with good benefits and great pay.

I wouldn't recommend this job to any one. It seems like the company like having a high turnover, drug test every week for certain employees, no room for growth unless you fit into their circle meaning if your not the right complextion your not moving up. Steelfab is corrupt from top to bottom. I was let go for speaking up about horse play within the department I was working in. You're nothing but a body there with no job security, they will find a reason to let you go for little or nothing. They will have you believe your family until you start working than bam, drama. Steelfab wants you to be job scared when working there. Wasn't for me and I wouldn't recommend this company.

Oh boy. Where to begin. Managers are hired from within so they normally are the ones who suck up the most to the higher ups. HR will honeypot you like there’s no tomorrow, but ask any common employee and they will voice their disdain for this place. The managers, despite being 30-40 something year old men, act like gossipy children. They’ll have you believe that overtime is only an occasional thing, and then switch up on you once you’re hired. If a higher up dislikes you, they will make your work life miserable. You are nothing but a number to them, and they do not care about your health, safety, or progression. They make billions of dollars per year, they don’t need to care about their employees.

All the overnight supervisor does is go around looking for people to run and fetch for him.  He will not take the time to train anyone. If you ask him a question, he rolls his eyes and walks away without answering.  He constantly threatens to write you up if you mess up on anything, even though he wont train you.  He is a very retaliatory person and spends most of his time doing as little as possible and is vindictive toward anyone who looks like they know more than he does.

I work with this company for over five years I was called on to work long hours I was told I was doing a great job I took 2 vacation in five years I sold my vacations back to the Company and work really hard whenever they needed me I had a perfect attendance record I never got wrote up and in the end they fired me over a mistake I made and all I’ve done for this company was ignored And 🤧ForgottenForgottenthrowoaway aawayandwThroawaythrown away

Typical day at work is laying out beams cleaning them up fitting them up then welding them using the crane to transfer them to paint and repeat as well as help other peers with their tasks and keep the shop moving, management sucks nobody knows have the time what’s going on never a set process. Hardest part is dealing with the management most enjoyable is being able to work independently.
