Time Manufacturing Company

This established manufacturing company is lean and organized, but a competitive market stifles wage growth and opportunities for advancement.  I learned a lot as an engineer while there, even though formal training was non-existent.  Personnel nearing retirement were unwilling to train for any of their responsibilities, and would become upset if anyone could figure out certain aspects of their job.  Management had a tendency to play favorites, and that meant that anyone who was considered different was marginalized.  I was tasked with design work and improving quality as well as reducing costs.  While trying to execute my responsibilities, I inadvertently stepped on a few toes that exposed some personality conflicts with manufacturing management.  Subsequently, I was passed over for a promotion by someone 10 years younger than me and right out of school (who just happened to go to the same college as the engineering manager) who the manufacturing management found easy to intimidate..then I had to train my new superior, who was caught on more than one occasion taking credit for my work.  I liked the work too much and there were few opportunities during the economic downturn for me to leave, so I persevered.  I contributed significantly to many aspects of company operations for several years, even training new engineers to get them up to speed faster as well as production staff.  As time passed, I became more involved with decision making meetings and had developed a reputation at getting things done.  So it came as a complete surprise to many coworkers when I was terminated at the end of the week when annual bonuses, raises and promotions were being doled out.  Former coworkers have since reached out with evidence that termination was due to office politics, as certain management personnel did not like any kind of conflict.

A typical day at Time is the "same ol', same ol'". I did not exactly learn too much outside of what I already had experience in other than how to operate their systems. Management was wishy washy at best. No one had any idea what the other one was doing. Upper management is completely disconnected with the process on the production floor.

The workplace culture is just another "Boys Club" if you are in, great, if not, things can be a struggle at times. However, some of the leadership are down to earth enough to at least listen.

The hardest part of the job was dealing with Time not paying their vendors on time and being put on credit hold. This would cause material shortages and make deadlines almost impossible to achieve.

The best part about my job there was the connections that I was able to make with the personnel I was appointed over.

Very busy atmosphere, which is good, but things get complicated because decisions are not the same every time so you're never sure how things will go - and this is in every department. Management in EVERY department is horrible, especially the Service Department,  they don't care a bit about their employees - only the bottom line. You continually get more and more put on you without a concern if you have the time to "do it right". There definitely is A LOT of treating some people very, very well and others horribly. Coworkers are, for the most part, pleasant, but there is a LOT of gossip and cut throat, men and women. They take people who don't have a clue and put them in management positions. The hardest part of working there would be managements lack of caring and direction. You are just a number to them.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only good thing about the company is the pay. 
There are no incentives what so ever though.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No structure, no organization, no leadership and no communication. They expect you to figure everything out and make miracles happen no matter how impossible the task seems.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The production, assembly and warehouse employees are great. Management is a joke.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
STRESSFUL! Nothing goes as planned because someone above you wants something else done. The company started outsourcing a lot of critical weldments and they were always built, machined or welded wrong. So most of the scheduled production cannot be accomplished because there was a bunch of rework that needed to be done.

Entitled workers mixed with narcissistic management who have no problem lying to you and then saying something else behind your back. Definitely under appreciated and under paid for the work I’ve done for this company. It’s all about who you know not what you can do nor how well you do your job. They refuse to give raises and promotions to hard workers but give it to the racers, look somewhere else for a job unless you wanna go up to mahoning valley to be apart of the crew so you can get an extra 50 cents per hour if you even get it in the first place. Terrible work Conditions welders barely have any ventilation and the safety man can’t fix anything cause he gets shut down by the upper management cause it costs money. People here are scum run away as far as you can. 

Very poor management in all departments. The place is run on the buddy system. No matter how hard you work you will constantly be pulling knives out of your back. Management will not help you succeed unless you are there bar buddy or want to talk about cars or motorcycles all day. They will watch you make a mistake till the job is complete and then make you fix it instead of stopping you to correct it before you got to far. The quality of the product is poor. My thoughts is because of lack of training. Their is no training what so ever it’s do as I say not as I do. Safety is a big concern for employees and for the customers the work is being done for. There is no room for advancement. No support for techs. It might Pay decent but is it really worth it. 

Too many company buy outs with management turn over.  Each time the benefits lessened and the communication worsened.  They promoted people with little experience to management positiions and they did not know how to run things effectively which caused many problems.  The quality of the work significantly decreased.  People and Teams did not communicate and this caused huge headaches.  They would also move you to a new area without even telling you they were going to move you.  This was a great place to work but the new investment companies that bought it had no idea how to run a manufacturing company.  Rumors were always floating around that it was either about to be sold again or go into bankruptcy.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Most of the people are very friendly and treat you like family.  With the new corporate owners, more consultants are involved, becoming more corporate and less personal.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Consultants and managers don't respect employees.  They want world-class quality with underpaid staff.  This creates a high turnover rate and affects production. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Becoming corporate and less personal.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hot in the shop with no environmental controls

Over the last three years there have been a lot of changes that together have positioned the company to be a true leader in the industry. Its an amazing place to work as there are constantly new tasks and new opportunities.   Staff has grown in almost all locations and the company is constantly innovating and growing through acquisitions.  The commitment to expert manufacturing filters through all aspects of the company now. As an essential business, it is great to be working to build the equipment that people need all over the country.

What is the best part of working at the company?
My coworkers are by far the best part about my job here.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The service manager treats people like they’re trash. He will lie and stab you in the back without even thinking twice about it.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Company is only focused on profits instead of how they treat their hardworking employees. It is unorganized and chaotic as well as unprofessional.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I keep my head down and do my job while having a good time with my coworkers.
