Turbocam International

I’ve been with Turbocam only a short while but from day one my daily experience has been a positive experience from both the company and coworkers.
They offer opportunities for those with no prior experience that is hard to find elsewhere and offer free classes to further your knowledge in machining. 
I find their benefits package to be competitive with other companies and many benefits offered you don’t find elsewhere like insurance opt out bonus and their retirement contributions.
Management is approachable and helpful. 
A typical day is you show up, get a run down of any issues experienced on prior shift and what parts they are running. Then start running parts for production. Clean up and go home. No one standing over you or micro managing you. A lot of trust is giving to their employees. Go in keep your head down and work towards the goal of the company and mission and you leave stress free. 
The owner is approachable, kind to speak with and exceptional with all his employees. 
Haven’t had much experience with HR except onboarding but Everyone I have spoken with is helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant so I feel they would be open to any concerns if any were to ever arise. 
Being new to machine operations I find the pay exactly as the rest of the industry  for entry level. I can’t speak of persons with years of experience so possibly the negative reviews on pay could be coming from that perspective. But Turbocam offers so much more in their benefits I have not seen elsewhere. And their transparency is one of the best I’ve ever seen. 

Turbocam can be a great place to work. I have reported to 2 senior leaders. The mission is often misunderstood, it is not about charity, it’s akin to grace and accountability. It is aspirational in nature. You get back up and you try again and you afford others to do the same. 

The grass is not always green. One colleague’s behavior towards me was abhorrent, my manager supported me in addressing this behavior and the person apologized. It never happened again. 

Companies are not necessarily bad. Poor behavior is fleeting. How we address these things matters. Success is achieved through hard work, personal responsibility, value add, innovation and accountability. 

We have seen some boomerangs; they reach a point in their career that requires them to leave, gain experience and then return for the right opportunity. 

There are many internal opportunities for training and development. I sought a development opportunity that did not exist with the company and was completely supported in pursuing it. 

On a personal note, I had to WFH for a length of time due to a family need. I was able to do so due to my hard work and building the trust of my leadership and team. This is not always possible in manufacturing but we get to afford flexibility to our employees as I have with my team. 

I had swithed companies, beacuse I had been told several years ago Turbocam has "Chistian values & values they're employees & everyone is a "team player". Not true! I took a risk to leave the company I was with, to be trained as a CNC Lathe machinist, getting impression I'd recieve adequate training time. Never happened! I waa there just 3 days, the supervisor began telling me that "he didn't think I'm getting it"., inspite of the trainers telling him I was doing fine. The company was hiring alot of people for these machines, I told HR I never ran any CNC equipment, I have something derogatory on my record, but I was eagerly hired anyway. This supervisor insisted I that I learn this operation in 1 or w weeks, that it just "bottlenecks" other employees to be trained & for me to pick-up-the-pace to go on my assigned shift. Then contrdicts himself saying he understands that everyone learns at a different pace!  This supervisor continuously harrassed me! I made the mistake of going to HR, I wa s abruptly let go, HR stuck up for him! I wasn't given hardly anytime to show my potential! I was told 3-6 weeks or more if necessary dor training & 90 days probation,art period, they reneged on the entire thing! There was 4 other ,ew hires that where just "gone" after 2 weeks in the,department!I HR wouldn't even consider me for anothwr position, not even for a Quality Inspector position, of which,I did for 3.5 years at my other job, stating "I'm not a good fit " for the company! What Christian values?

I used to enjoy coming to work everyday. I used to be proud that I worked for this company which treated its people differently. That all changed about a year and a half ago. I have no idea what happened but I started seeing a major shift behind the "masks" that management wears and its all gone downhill from there; especially these past few months. 

Management doesn't care about you in the slightest, despite what they claim to say. They claim to treat their people differently, but you're nothing more than another number like a lot of places. They don't communicate well with their people at all, often giving no warnings to changes in the workplace until the last second like sweeping the rug from under your feet.  A new supervisor was hired on as a regular Machine Operator for 3 months then was announced to be the new supervisor because he had a Business Management degree and knew someone in the company. A lot of good that does you out on the shop floor. Then has the balls to admit that he was guaranteed the spot from the beginning; making the people in house who applied for the supervisor position feel like the whole thing was a sham from the get go. He'd rather write you up and have blights on your record, when there were none under the past 3 supervisors you've worked for, and brushes your side of the story under the rug. Starting to see this in a lot of other management people as well. HR would rather take their side than yours so going to them about anything is pointless. You can't move up in the company unless you're on someones favorites list and they treat you like an idiot if you're not.

STAY. AWAY.

A typical day at Turbocam feels like you accidentally joined a fanatical cult masquerading as a company. Management is tone-deaf and obsessed with forcing their religious agenda down your throat instead of caring about employees. You’ll spend more time enduring sermons and toxic favoritism than actually working. I learned that blind loyalty is valued more than skill or hard work. The workplace culture is a bizarre mix of hypocrisy and sanctimony. The hardest part was pretending to care while being treated like disposable labor. The only enjoyable part was leaving at the end of the day.

During my time at Turbocam I would typically come into work between eight or nine and work through the day until five or five thirty. I had the opportunity to work with other more experienced engineers and learn basic machining and design skills from them. The management of the company was great, they really focused on caring for their customers and employees, rather then just making money. My co-workers were always willing to give advice or spend time working with me whenever I felt I needed a little extra help. The hardest part of the job was staying busy. As an intern, I didn't have a lot of important or time consuming responsibilities or roles, so I would also have to try to find more work to do. The most enjoyable part of the job was just working with other engineers and learning from them.

In the past, I've worked for companies and employers who don't put too much focus on their employees. As a worker, that makes you feel expendable and can impact what you put into your job. For the first time, I finally have a job that I love going to. 

The company has amazing benefits such as: Dental, Healthcare, Vision, 401k and more. I feel very secure knowing that I won't have to be worried about these things being taken care of. 

My coworkers are incredible. It is a very supportive atmosphere and it is amazing to be surrounded by people who are just as passionate about their job as I am. If you are looking into working at Turbocam, you won't be disappointed 

Not always clear where the Company is going or what the role of senior management is.  They seem like a group of doers who execute on the whim of the owner, relying less and less on their own skills or initiative and more on the answers given by the owner.  Their talent is sorely wasted.

The CEO owns a church. If you don't attend then you won't go anywhere within the company.  He pays terrible wages and only the upper eshalon gets decent pay increases.  He does not respect women either. They have over 400 employees and only about 20 of them are women and none of them hold any relevant management positions within the company.  Management is horrible to the people.  They are passive aggressive in retaliation if you voice yourself.  Stay away!!!!!!

Turbocam has a unique Business mission to Honor God creating wealth for its employees producing best quality manufacturing of 5 axis machined turbo machinery. I have the opportunity to partner with the owner in community service at home and abroad. 
   Turbocam is family friendly. there are opportunities for development and personal growth. Daily challenges include minimizing machine downtime while training to troubleshoot effectively.
