Universal Galvanizing, Inc.

I would have to say that no day is typical. Each day is filled with its own unique set of challenges.  Although that can be difficult some days, this does allow me to constantly grow and evolve as a supervisor.As a galvanizing plant we see all kinds of material come through our plant.  Nuts, bolts, and handrail you name it and at some point or another we have probably seen it and galvanized it!  With so many different parts coming through our plant adaptability is key.  The needs and requests of our customers are always changing, giving me the opportunity to change with them. This in turn allows me to develop great customer relations with everyone I come in contact with.

I hope you like breathing in chlorine gas all day. Because they don't vent outside just push it around from on side of the building to another. 
They try to incorporate a point system to punish you for being late/ absent. 2 points if you call in, 4 points for a no call no show, 2 points in your a minute late/ clock out a minute early. You can't get more then 16 points in you first sixty days after that it's 40. Resets per year on the day the point was given. So no one has any idea how many points they have, so no one calls in sick or really leaves for any reason. The management doesn't care about the employees at all. If you have an issue with anything there answer to you will be then quit. 

Management doesn’t truly care for anyone or their safety. They will throw medical incidents under the rug, try to convince you to use your own health insurance, and find a reason to terminate you when you go on medical leave.
HR is generally okay, but I feel with the pressure from other branches of management, it forced HR as well to submit to the toxic work environment.
Also, promotions are handed out like parade candy so if you want to feel like you’re thriving somewhere when all you’re doing is filling a temporary void for management, this is your place.

The management is a joke. It’s hot, dirty, and dangerous. You can easily get burned bad. Not worth it when you get treated like a slave and get yelled at for no reason or for something you didn’t even do! No job is worth the pay or the work when getting treated like trash.

So far my time with universal galvanizing has been challenging but yet rewarding.  I foresee a great future in the Acid Recovery Dept.  I was trained well and quality is a must. Finally I work at a place that sees my potential and doesn't treat me like I'm just a passing thru employee.
Hope to give many years of service to this company.

Hot dangerous work . top pay $16.75 hr. To get burned and burned out. 4 yrs of my life wasted and got nothing for it. Won't pay hazardous wages. 10hrs a day mandatory 6 days a week. If you have a bad record or a drug addiction then this is the job for you. Be sure to keep burn cream in your pocket cause it hurts alot. GOOD LUCK.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is good and it's not a bad job 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The heat in the summer and cold in the winter 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hot in the summer and cold in the winter 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We work hard and do our job have fun doing it

The job has great potential for the right type of person. The work environment is constantly about 100-200° unless you are in front of a big fan. The hours are a bit much, 11.5 hours for 2 shifts, but the job is great if you are in shape and can beat the heat. And remember, BRING A LOT OF WATER!


As long as you do your job and be safe and be productive and help when your cell coworkers need help you will get along just fine with everybody there it is a team based job. You should always watch out for the person next to you.

Management at UG does nothing but complain about work that doesn't get done, they don't leave the office to coach/train, they write people up for jobs that you weren't assigned to do in the first place, and they even fire people for other people's mistakes or jobs they didn't do.
