Utility Solutions Inc.

During my time at this company I have never seen so many grown adults act like they’re still in Highschool. It’s not about how well someone works but how well they can kiss up and tell on someone else. Management doesn’t believe something is really a problem until it starts hurting their pockets. Multiple times I have told, or have seen others tell about  problems in the production process and was waved away because we were too low on the totem pole. 

Even when they acknowledge there’s a problem they just believe in punishing the lower level employees when it’s really the entire process they created. I’ve seen supervisors in charge of areas where they don’t have a clue what’s going on and just walk around asking questions wasting peoples time. But it’s not a big deal if times wasted as long as they like you. 

There was one particular employee who they knew full well would deliberately slow down the production process if they didn’t feel like working that day, and not just for themselves, but other employees as well. Multiple people, including supervisors, complained about this individual at least 100 times in my time at this company and no action was ever taken. The employee was never fired or even written up while I was there

But be careful if they do fire or punish you because they will absolutely do it in the worst possible way they can. I know of employees who had their wages reduced without their consent because of messed up parts that were not their fault. I know of employees that were fired and when they tried to get on Unemployment, this company lied and pretended to write them up for occasions that did not happen so the fired employee couldn’t collect. They went out of their way to make someone’s life harder after firing them for what I believe was an unjust reason.

They’ve created a very toxic environment that will make you very negative.  The pay and benefits aren’t terrible but in my opinion it’s not worth the baggage this place will put on you.  I was absolutely willing to take a pay cut do leave this place by the end of my time 

When you go interview for them and start they’ll put on a good show for you at first but unless you’re an engineer or higher they’ll soon stop even pretending to have any real respect for you as an employee or even as a person.

Favoritism. Terrible leaders within the company. You never know when they’re going to fire you with lack of training, mistakes, and being self taught. Lots of gossip and nosy neighbors. Nobody looks out for you, as everyone waits for you to make mistakes so they can single you out in front of everyone. There’s no opportunities to move up when there’s a job opening. Open opportunities are built for those that are hand picked by the circle which leads to a lot of employees with multiple years of experiences quitting. HR/supervisor/leads are unprofessional when it comes to drama and keeping personal matters confidential. Rumors spreads like wild fire here. Expectations are very high vs the chances of getting yearly raises unless you’re part of the circle. So don’t bother asking for a raise bc you won’t get it. You’re also constantly walking on eggshells as it is difficult to ask for help. You’re always at fault when you’re not.  Free health/medical insurance,  pto, flexible hrs couldn’t keep me here.

Worst place I have ever worked in my life. Management has no idea what’s going. The changes in management only made things worse. Now the prior focus is production and only production. There is no confidentiality at all. If they have an issue with something you’re doing, they will come right up to you and air it out in front of everyone. They fired all of their skilled labor and brought more people in thinking it was going to change something. Now the new hires are training the brand new hires. 

They will find any and every reason to get rid of you if they do not like you. No matter how hard you work or how much extra you do, it is never good enough. They definitely show favoritism to specific employees that are let by with anything they do. 

The management sits in the office all day talking and laughing. I have caught the HR specialist multiple times watching videos and/or scrolling through shopping websites. 




It was a good place to work for at the beginning but you’ll soon start to see there is a lot of politics and favoritism played there. Training is lackluster and when you need help or ask for help with anything expect to be either cursed at, talked down upon or basically called stupid. Management in non-existent with HR being scared to address anything or if you need them they will avoid you all day long and keep prolonging meeting with you. Be prepared that anything you tell them in private will be spread around the office as multiple people will be talking about it throughout the factory. People would rather back stab you there or watch you fail than to take a minute to work together. If you’re in school please go somewhere else that will appreciate your time and could see a future and allow you to grow.

Typical day at work starts at 6:00am and you go in and clear the mess from
Overnight runs, check parts, restart machines and start setting up machines as necessary..I did not learn much because the technical support is lazy but yet you can’t be I dependant or ask questions.. The hardest part for a skilled and experienced technician is the fact that a certain individual only knows that shop and nothing else and refuses to listen to anything else but blames all his sorry programs on either you or the cad/cam system they use. No accountability for certain individuals..If you are a experienced machinist I do not recommend this place at all.. Also planning sucks and the technical support is lazy and has a horrible attitude.. The best part is when it’s time to go home and three-day weekends.. 

Worked here for a couple months they don’t care if you’re in pain or not they just wanted their production… DON’T WORK FOR SOMEONE WHO DON’T APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK. P.s. the coworker there are so nosey they’re so invested in each other life’s they can’t focus on their own life. Watch your back you have some snitches. Also, the coworkers there throw each other under the bus when it comes to getting in trouble. Terrible training NOT a single person is CERTIFIED trainer! HR doesn’t care about you or your needs they just expect you to show up everyday to make company products. Like the last post said.. if you’re NOT an engineer than your feedback doesn’t matter. 

This place started out well when it was ran by men that actually had to work for what they had. They sincerely cared about their employees and looked out for their well being. As time passed and more growth and leadership changed hands, sadly it didn't take long for a good place to work turn into a place just to make ends meet. They promise yearly evaluations and when you finally get one they just can't see that you deserve a raise at this time. Maybe later and later never comes.  However they can bring in someone new that has no idea how to do your job and make them your manager. And if that's not enough they bring in another to be your supervisor that also has no clue of what's going on. Good people to work with just not good people to work for

I will speak for my own role. While it is demanding at times, it has been the most rewarding role of my 10+ years of building my career. I have been here for around 4 years, and I have no plans to leave. The company is still owned and operated by the founders - and they expect greatness. This is not a problem if you are ambitious and prefer to be challenged in a culture of excellence, as success will be generously rewarded. Steel sharpens steel. However, not everybody is interested in a role like this, and the fast-paced, high-achieving environment is intimidating to some.  If you prefer a more laid-back atmosphere and seek a steady paycheck without the associated responsibilities, this company may not be for you. 

Management treats employees like they own them,If you have any medical problems,it is made public to everyone and you will be judged by that.If your not in the elite club in the office,you are considered to be in the"Good for Nothing crowd that gets joked about in their meetings,thats been overheard.HR or what they call HR seems to only try to find out your home life rather than try to help with real HR problems such as insurance,They are to busy trying to calculate your assets and how much money you have in the bank so they can categorize you.This place really needs professional Management and a thorough Tax Audit.All the signs point toward a shady company.Beware

Work is 4 or 5 days a week. Depending on your job preference. The jobs are manual labor or machine operators. Most are very easy to do. The job can be very boring. Mostly easy to do and easy to learn. You get to listen to earbuds as you work. And the benefits are excellent.

However, favoritism is rampant. If they do not like you, you will know it quickly. even to the point of supervisors and leads standing on the floor in front of coworkers and talking about you. People quit all the time because of management, not the job. If you can deal with that, then it is a great job. Do not trust your coworkers. They are looking out for themselves and will talk about you. 
I learned that no matter how much I like a job it is not worth the mental stress.
