The Specialty Mfg. Co.

I started as a temp doing assembly. Really repetitive work but its simple and easy enough. They hired me on fulltime and promoted me to a lead position. I loved working as a lead, more autonomy, got to help my workers when something went wrong with a machine and provide input to upper management and the engineer on how we could improve workflow.
Everyone that worked there was really nice with the exception of a few pretentious managers.

No headphones, but they do play radio. So if you're ok with listening to the same 10 songs all day then it's perfect. 

Where this company fails is its attendance policy. I got severely sick with the flu and had to miss a few days. When I came back I had found out that they had fired me. apparently you're only allowed 2 sick days per year. Even with a doctors note they wouldn't give me my job back.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I moved up fast to shift leader and machine maintenance 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
To make sure the customer got everything that they requested 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's very quiet and peaceful at the wire house .
Everyone gets along and helps each other 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Most of every day at the company was to make sure I had everything ready to get my employees asked to a machine and make sure the right parts are at all machines to make sure the customer was getting what they requested.

I often felt stressed working at SMC. I was producing as much or more than everyone else running the same jobs yet my manager would be on me constantly about run rates and set up times. Not a laid back work environment at all. Two days after I put in my two week notice they walked me out the door. I've never felt so disrespected. I realized later that this was so they wouldn't have to pay me profit sharing for that year. I've never been treated like that before by any company in thirty years of working. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Insurance and retirement benefits. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of leadership and no direction. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible
Looked down on for speaking your mind.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

everyday I come to work I am happy to do my work and always think
positively for the next day task work. I don't wait for my boss to tell what
to do cause problem solving is my expertise.

In my time at Specialty I was given opportunities to grow and expand my career. I felt like I was genuinely an important part of the company, and that my ideas and accomplishments were heard and recognized.

I loved working here, I wish I still did work at smc. Amazing people. And its the type of worked I loved to do it was facepasced for me as a lead and I was fortunate enough and recognized for my hard work and dedication and grew quickly in the company and promoted more quickly then they usually do.

Well managed business with productive yet relaxed work atmosphere that allows for amicable and professional working relationships with various personnel and departments.

I loved my co-workers at Specialty, and the benefit package was literally the best I ever had in my career.  It did feel like you were overworked and forced to wear many hats.  There always seem to be a huge push on running as lean as possible.
