The good: you'll learn and get certified in whatever position your in. 
The BAD: management is the worst,  they won't pay you for clocking in early or clocking out late unless you are told specifically by a manager. They don't pay you good. They can write you up for any reason they feel possible, even if someone says you were doing something but they have no proof, just because they have a few people that are there that they use for keeping an eye on anyone not working or looking at their phone to see the time.  They get mad if your time sheet is incorrect and have to fix it and threaten your job if it happens again.  Too many bads at this company.  Overall not a very good place to work unless you want to learn to weld. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
There isn’t any best part. If you like living at work one week and barely making 40 hours the next this place is for you. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Shop management is terrible. No accountability! The supervisors act like they are paying you out of their pocket while they sit in the cool office doing nothing. It’s tough when u see the manager walk out with a jacket on and it’s 105 outside and 130 in the shop

Long hours. Management doesn’t help you out with your concerns. Expect you to learn multiple positions with no increased pay. No promotions. Promises of increased salary will be made but you will need to jump through endless hoops to even have a chance to see a raise. Management never has answers to pay increase questions.

Be prepared to work long hours

Management needs a little work but over all it’s a good company. I would not recommend it for someone who knows nothing about welding. Supervisors and Q/C will make it known when you mess up. It could always pay more but the pay isn’t bad. The coworkers are awesome. Benefits are second to none. Could start out with more vacation but it is a man hours job and they expect you to be there. Takes awhile to get off of second shift. They are rarely ever short on work making for long hours but good overtime. 

A typical day starts at 5:30 ends at 4:30 I learned that you have to put away your emotions and become somewhat of a machine to deal with the lack of communication from a certain supervisor who will not be named the work place culture is be sure to offer insight to new people no matter their age the hardest part of the job is not being show any gratitude for the hard work you could do the most enjoyable part of the job is forming bonds with new people

Can't think of one off the top of my head

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It's ok the position i had I loved my work getting the job done and moving on to the next job task..

The employees around you are what make that place tolerable. The managers just add to the problems instead of finding solutions. More of a frustrating work environment. For the type of work that is done there. People are very underpaid. 10 hour days is the norm but they'll have you work 12's for 4 to 5 months at a time. If you can handle that then this is the place for you.
