UPI Manufacturing

I've worked here for awhile now, and overall I can say it's good place to work. It does have it's ups and downs at times, but that's with anywhere though. It can get slow at times, usually about once a year, and there might be a stretch where you may be doing little jobs like clone cleaning or mowing the lawn. Usually there pretty good about finding work for you to do to keep you busy. This is a contract company, so generally speaking we only make parts for other companies, and if we don't get contracts we don't have work. Yes most of our contracts are for defense companies and government, which can be stressful at times, but it's not that bad. Yes management can get a little hectic at times, mostly because many people in management have been promoted within and or shuffled around and learning as they go. They do tend to cross train, which I think is pretty cool. In the event if a slow down you can go somewhere else in the facility to work to get you buy untill it picks back up again. I don't look my coworkers here as a team of employees, I look at us as a team of family members. We all have that one family member we might not agree with, but at the end of the day were all one big family working together to move forward and grow together. I'm very thankful for this place has done for me, and I hope to continue working here for many years to come. As far as the comments regarding felons and such, yes this place does like to give people second chances, they understand people may have made bad choices in the past, and they don't let that be an issue. People that have had a rough past, I don't look down on them, they seem to be good honest people. As far as the religion goes, yes, this is a Christian based company. I myself don't view myself as a vary religious person, and I never ever been asked or told to go to there bible studies or church, and more importantly I have never felt threatened that if I didn't go to there church I was going to lose my employment.  They do talk about God and at there monthly meeting and maybe share a few bible stories to reflect on how how we need to conduct ourselves and how it relates to us as a whole. We also say a prayer before each meeting. If you choose to not participate in prayer I don't think it would be that big of an issue, it's usually pretty short and sweet, not like a worship hour. Overall I'd say it's good place to work, and there willing to cross train anyone that willing to learn and listen. Generally unless you have certain skills they like to start people in assembly and promote within when the time comes.

UPI is a family owned business and a fairly small manufacturing company with around 50 employees. The company is very Religion based but they are definitely not going to fire or hire you based on your beliefs. They may however share some of their experiences every once in awhile with you since they are so excited about GOD and what he has done in their Lives.

They offer normal health benefits such as Vision/Dental/Health and PTO days. 

Not a typical work environment since they have a lot of government contracts which are ever changing that may cause high stress and quick thinking depending on your position. I love doing new things daily as I never get bored. 

There are a wide array of positions and skills required here but a lot of room for growth and they encourage upwards movement from within. They also love to cross train to allow for their employees to help out in other areas or take on other roles when needed. The more you are willing to learn the more valuable you are. Also you must have a great attitude and be willing to work with other team members. 

Half of management and staff have been employed longer than 2 years and upwards of 15+ years. 

They also offer extra incentives for meeting goals and working hard. 

If you are willing to work hard, think outside the box, work well with others and be accountable - This is the place for you.

UPI Manufacturing is a great place to work that offers an opportunity to feel like a patriot doing so much work for the American Military.

It's a family owned/operated business so there is a bit of playing favorites with relatives but honestly that's nothing out of the ordinary for a 50 employee company.

The work is fast-paced and there are new challenges every day which is just the nature of Government Contracting. Today we are working on transparent armor, tomorrow we might be making track links for the tracks on a tank.

The owner/CEO has a strong belief in his faith and acts accordingly.

The group of people that I get to work with every day are awesome.  Everyone is so friendly and willing to share their knowledge that it makes coming to work enjoyable. 

Also, knowing that the products we manufacture directly helps our troops, makes this job even more rewarding.  Not to mention working side-by-side with the many veterans working here is cool.

The culture is relaxed and yet everyone seems to be giving 110% because they want to.  Everyone is treated with respect!

Most impressive is the supervisors roll-up their sleeves and help out when needed which lets me know we're all on the same winning team.

You are made part of the family when you work here. The work is rewarding. The atmosphere is energetic. No one is allowed to say easy or wait. Shortcuts are not allowed. Blame shifting does not happen in this company. It's ok to make a mistake, as long as you are committed to learning from your mistakes. The support system is amazing. 

I consider it an honor to work for a company that helps facilitate our war fighters.  We take pride in our relationship with the various Government vendors and help assist in whatever ways we can to ensure our war fighters are safe and have the products needed to succeed.

UPI is a good company to work for, and they are striving to become better.  They are bidding on jobs related to government contracts, and are learning what all is involved and required.  They appear to be willing to put in the effort to get there.

It very fun to work there, working with CNC machine and learn many things and well trained. Friendly workers and staffs and boss. They have pool table and having small party with pot luck. easy to wrk with. I love to work there.

great place to work. clean environment, nice people. Dirty work if a welder. Lots on grinding depending on the parts. weld lots of armored steel. Very little instructions, Must be independent worker.
