VALCOR ENGINEERING

Small private organization with a very niche customer base. Great engineering expertise for tailored and very customized solutions. 
Management ok, with antiquated aerospace business strategy for low volume, very specialized and unique solutions. 
Great entry role for engineering, manufacturing, and operations to help gain experience to move to a Tier 2 or 1 company.
Careful with managers with over 10+ years at Valcor, they keep all close to the chest and will defend their turf at all cost.

Great highly engineered classic aerospace products, however hard to compete with competitive shops who are non union. the CEO should NOT be running this company. He has no focus for the customers. He believes that late delivery is OK , which has always been unacceptable in this world , but more so today. Of the  products that do ship, they often don't work, further alienating customers. Customers threaten to sue for failure to deliver. They lack an emphasis on new product development, product improvements,  cost out programs, no M& A strategy, no goal setting, etc. CEO should stick to engineering and leave management.

Dealt with customers questions and concerns on a daily basis.
Management was very helpful with any questions or problems
The workplace was filled with fun energetic people who were always willing to help 
Most enjoyable part of the day is when we are able to satisfy the customers
Hardest part was trying to get products to ship in a timely matter
Every day was exciting

What is the best part of working at the company?
None. They treat you like a mushroom. "They keep you in the dark, and feed you s...t."

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When  they force you to pass the part just to meet the "quota".

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic ,stressful and not for the faint of heart.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Same old sh....t, different day.

Valcor is a place where's they're chance for growth with specific skills, but you need to be an engineer or have experience in the aerospace field.  If not there's not much room for growth or improvement especially if your forced to join the union.

The company needs to improve their culture from being a small business to what they have become. They still operating with a narrow 1970 vision. They used to have a woman as COO and it looked like progress but it was not. They have little regard for female . Their is not life balance. You will work over 49 hours . Working from home is not view very well by upper management.

Former CEO and management ran company poorly losing money.  New CEO no better.  Friend told me he openly lies at meetings still has same old managers doing same old thing. Outsourcing over half the parts, parts mde wrong or badly have to be sent back. Heard contracts are being cancelled because customers are very unhappy.  Company losing people thru quitting, layoff or being fired.

A typical day here was driven by the demand of the machine shop. You were expected to respond as soon as possible for programming CNC.  Between programming on MasterCam , I  would work on my projects.Management was ok as long as you did their way and their way only. The hardest part of the job was not to get to friendly  with the coworkers, they alienate you.

Great place to work if you want to work for a company that does most operations in-house.  Great place to work if mechanical engineering is your passion.  The atmosphere is very relaxed and employees of all disciplines work together as a team.  A lot of very interesting projects as well.

I have worked at Valcor for many years. We are progressing with the times. Management is supportive. The most enjoyable part of my job is successfully supplying quality products. The hardest part of my job is obtaining accurate information to provide deliveries.
