Star Cutter Company

I would be assigned jobs to complete. Then set up machines to fit the job and grind to the specified dimensions. The environment was very fast paced and productive, which demands an astute comprehension of machining. The training required was short lived and demanded critical thinking, which required more time and was detrimental to this fast paced environment. Organization was an ongoing issue but we managed to get jobs out in a productive fashion with the help of more veterinary workers and management involvement. Most of the staff was friendly and cooperative, which created a positive and personable environment.

Supportive work environment at office, working quickly to solve issues in the field. Flexible when time off is needed. Good communication. HR dept is always helpful. From a field service standpoint, the company does everything they can to make the job experience a pleasant one. For a large, multi-facility company, Star has a heart. You will get out of the experience however much you are willing to put in.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The starting wage is fair for the area. They are willing to train new and inexperienced employees 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
New hires are put on afternoon or evening shift after training.  There's not alot of turnover, so waiting to get on day shift can be quite a while. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Pleasant work environment.  The people are knowledgeable and helpful. Everyone seems to get along well.

My training lasted two days, and then as I was told "trial by fire". And let me tell you, there is a lot of fire. If you like to wrangle in a place that hasn't had structure in millennia, but be berated at each step...then by all means! 

There are people here who are truly good-natured and want to do a great job with the work, but there is so much tension between departments that it isn't serving anyone well.

Running the CNC cutter grinders wasn't bad work. Management had been very supportive of my family as we went through bad times. Job security is amazing and most workers are friendly due to the laid back atmosphere. Benefits are merely okay. The pay is okay for the area, but if this shop were near a big city the pay would be much higher. If it weren't for the low pay I would never leave.

Star Cutter is a good place to begin a career in the cutting tool industry. They are family run and care about all their employees. Everyone knows you by name and it's a relaxed but productive environment.

Most employees are the best ever of Starr's employees and Northern Tools employees, if only they could get the heart to get rid of one Bully supervisor and a bad apple, They wood be world Class.

Its a family run company and if your not family then you are a target to learn trial by fire or be gone. Very untrustworthy, company structure is a mess, very confusing structure and if you ask your told once then your expected to know it 
IT investment is desperately needed while at the same time the company is trying to aggressively grow  

Always had help and could ask anyone for them to check over my work. Overall a great environment to work in. My boss kept me busy but kept me working in a way to only better my skills. I was given large tasks and trusted with them and worked with many head engineers to achieve the desired tasks.

This was the best company that I ever worked for. If the owner had
not passed away and the company had to sell part of it to SU I would
still be with them.
