Target-Steel

Curious that there are so many similar five star reviews on here that mention the same talking points from current employees. It is almost as if they were working from the same script...

Real observations:

Lots of yelling and abuse. 

Management from the top down lacks people and leadership skills.

Unprofessional - Basic grammar/spelling and mathematical errors in communiques to customers. 

Cliques and office politics make it seem like you are working with high school students (and not the honor students).

Inconsistencies - If you ask three managers a question you will get three different answers. 

Hypocrisy - Management becomes irate when they hear that a competitor said something bad about Target Steel, yet in the same breath will disparage the competition. 

Nepotism - family members do not appear to be held to the same standards as employees that are not family members.

The insurance benefits are good but that is not enough to make it worth it to work there.

Low wages for skilled work that is not even documented or traced in record,  ten to twelve hr working shifts, micromanage using the learn every position but no position advancement because people stay at that one position til they leave? It’s up to management what your pay raise will be and that is sketchy because there is a lot of favoritism! At the end of the day it’s just a two week paycheck and that in itself makes it feel it’s not worth it with its low pay scale!

You are rushed to make numbers for company’s profit but no rewards. Very dangerous to rush as a person get badly cut needing surgery and was on the floor two weeks later in a cask because they wanted to lesser the workers comp! 

I have been a part of the Target Steel family for 11 years. I started in an entry level position and have been trained and encouraged to choose a long-term career path that fits my personality and interests.

In addition to the great benefits that are provided, I enjoy the family atmosphere. As part of the team, we are welcomed to speak directly with ownership, and encouraged to utilize the open door policy that management has had in place throughout their 30 years in business.

At Target Steel, you have every opportunity to build a career, not just a job, as long as you're willing to work for it!

Target Steel is a great place to work.  Everyone is treated fairly.  There is a great healthcare program.  Typical day is fun, exciting, laughing, and working in an overall fun environment.  There is room for advancement and training opportunities for anyone who wants to grow.  It is fast paced and can be stressful, but there is always a laugh going around.  People are happy and want to be at work.  Workplace culture is family oriented.  Everyone feels like family and all are friendly.  Management treats the rest of the employees like their own family and it's just a really enriching environment to be in!

typical day at work....hurry hurry is that done hurry but then turn around and tell us to work safe...what i learned is i dont like steel jobs...my co workers r a bunch of hard working guys that deverse better then what this company offers....hardest part of the job is having to do thousands of pounds of heavy gauge metal one after another and having to deal with newly made boss and supervisor....most enjoyable part is the guys i work with!!!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing at all they treated you like you were a dog

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Manager screaming and yelling at you everyday you never could do anything right

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Absolutely terrible worst place I've ever worked in my life

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very stressful and unorganized

Recently worked there for about a month noticed very quickly how things worked around there. Couple people sat around an did nothing all day(regular workers not supervisor) didn’t even think about asking to help or relieve the actual people working. Not the the work is hard. Work was pretty easy but I’m not gonna be the one doin all the work. While they got old headed retiring off the backs of new workers.

Target Steel has potential to be a great workplace.  The culture is toxic and based on antiquated thought processes and business practices.  Their is division within the owners as to the direction of the corporation at large that drives the management style to being toxic.  Too many friends and family to contend with as well to make this a great workplace.  

Target gave me the opportunity to grow as an employee and meet a lot of great people. The management is wonderful and ensures that all employees feel comfortable working and coming to them with any problem they may have. The most enjoyable part of my job is the independence and fellow employees I came in contact with.

Everyone gets paid a different rate for the same job.  I actually made more than my supervisor.  
They're willing to give people a second chance.  Good insurance.
