Often you hear about places that will give you as much  as your are willing to put in. This company is one such place. Here are a few points about the company.

First thing you have to understand is every plant is ran differently. This shows if you drive a fork truck and must re-certify per plant. So your experience will be different per plant.

Second is you'll be on your feet for 12 hours a day unless you have a job in the office or are a yard worker who gets to sit down. This is a no exception rule as chairs are not located anywhere on the production floor.

Third you'll move up as much as you work towards it. This company doesn't want a mindless bee worker. They want you to be educated and will pay for you to go to school. They do high level training and it shows. If you need to change your schedule due to school they are very accommodating

Fourth they are one of the few companies that you'll find that put their employees first over profits. However don't be surprised with a lay off. While they will try to keep you employed as much as they can if you work in a non skilled area and haven't put time or effort into the company you won't last.

Fifth the main plants operate 24hrs a day. Don't be surprised if they move you to nights after working a few months. At least they didn't lay you off so they like you enough to keep you,

Sixth they operate an old school mentality when it comes to time off. You'll read that people don't get a lot of time off. This is true as you won't get paid time off until a year then you'll get a weeks worth of vacation to act also as sick time. You'll then get an option to buy a weeks worth that will work out like "Your weekly pay"/52 taken out of your check. You'll get 10 points to use for non paid time off and being late. Late for this company is 6:00:01. Ideally they want you clocked in 15 minutes before your shift. FYI you won't get paid for doing so unless you actually work.

Seventh don't expect your boss to know more than you. Your boss is put in the position he is because he can manage people. You'll end up knowing more about the machine than your boss and you should be okay with this. As Webco is at the forefront of automation the machines maybe from the sixties but the mechanics will be new and improved. So much so that you'll have to keep on your toes when the engineers come to make the machines work faster, better, stronger.

So remember these points: Your experience will vary per plant, you will be on your feet for 12 hours a day so get comfy insoles, you'll get as much as you put in, they will work with you until the end if they lay you off, they run 24hrs a day so be prepared to work nights if needed, they are old school with old school benefits, Don't expect the guys above you to know more than you just remember they are there to take the blame if something goes wrong.

Work-life balance
Work-life balance at Webco Industries is ok, the only complaint I have is they force overtime on you and most of the time its with very little notice, sometimes less than 24 hour notice. If you tell them you can't then they act like they hold it against you with a grudge.

Pay & benefits
My pay and benefits at Webco Industries are ok. The pay isn't great but the benefits are, in particular I like the health benefits . I can see a doctor and not pay a dime out of pocket. Very nice. I feel like the pay is better balanced on some positions but mill operators do not make enough for all the stress you deal with.

Job security and advancement
In terms of job security at Webco Industries, I think the company is very resilient.  Job security is not a concern after you've been there at least a year.

Management
In general, managers at Webco Industries suck. The company itself is a great company but the Management at mannford really needs a complete overhaul.  Most of the Management team has little to no experience on the equipment on the floor. There are too many managers, the upper Management team are from different plants so they don't really grasp what the operators deal with. Management does not value experience.  Management is the #1 problem at webco.

Culture
There used to be a lot of teamwork but here lately the culture is shifting to " well thats not my job "

Overall
Its an ok place to work if you can handle summer heat and all the big company BS. If you a good butt kisser you can make it all the way to the top, ive seen it done by people who are well under qualified.

Have been working for Webco for more than 10 years.  This is a great place to work when you are young or just starting life out.  This is a place that you get what you put into it.  They have a somewhat laid back atmosphere but do push production. They encourage overtime. Typically 4 12's.  But 4 12's in the summer heat can get old very quick.  Temps are about 10 degrees higher inside.   Webco is filled with great people, and this is what keeps a lot of people working there.   They do work on a grade scale system.  One advance to this is when you first start you are able to quickly move up in grade/pay.  One con to this is once you get there, that is it.  There are people working here that haven't had a raise in years.  They do have programs like profit sharing and shop experience pay.  Profit sharing is paid out every quarter if we hit our goal.  Shop experience pay is paid once a year after working there for 5 years.  Both have been a hit and a miss.  But lately it seems that they have been putting forth more effort to hit them.  Even small profit sharing checks have been a good morale boost.  I would recommend working at Webco, but it isn't for everyone.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Very good pay and very very good benefits. Management is very welcoming and cheerful. Very clean working environment. Excellent training for every job you may do. I definitely loved working for this company and wouldn’t have left if it wasn’t for another employee 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
12 hour shifts unless your management or office worker. Work life balance can quickly become off balanced. Some voices are louder than others. So speak up. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Every department works together and is very easy to integrate into and advancing and raises are exceptionally easy to achieve.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Going over any problems from machinery or equipment throughout the day/night getting to work a good lunch break that’s paid and repeat.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Worked nights. If you stay on top of your work, you'll actually have a bit of free time. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The stressful part is staying awake until 6 am then driving home. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
During my shift, the atmosphere was pretty relaxed. Since my department stayed ahead on work, there was never any need to rush work. If we forgot about something or wanted to organize, we had the time. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
12 hour shift. Go in at 6pm, short talk with the day shift, see what needs done. Build up or repair parts that come off the mill, load up pallet with rolls, then go do a roll change when needed. Break at 10pm and 2am, measure and record wear on used rolls to see if they need reground.

Webco is a great company to work for.  I was hired right out of trade school with little to no experience.  The training I received was top notch and every day you will learn something new.  The sky is the limit on advancement within the company as long as you are willing to put in the work.  Management is great, you can talk to them like peers instead of some kind of feudal hierarchy.  If you screw up they understand.  Mistakes are a part of learning.  Pay is excellent for the area and overtime is all-you-can-eat.  Benefits are good, bcbs of ok.  The 12 hour days take getting used to but after a while you couldn't imagine, or want, it any different.  Co workers are nice, helpful and give good advice.  Webco puts a lot of time and money into training you for your position.  It made me want to do the best job I could for them.

At their Tulsa Distribution warehouse, they have various tasks you may do, from cutting steel/copper nickel tubes, bending heat-exchanger tubing,  creating fin tubes, or various quality checks of said tubes. It is is a fast paced work environment, but lacks a balance between work and home life. Work weeks are typically around 40 hours, but during high-production times can go up to 72 hours a week and can last months on end. Vacation is allowed based on company needs and if a long planned event may interfere with production, vacation can be denied up to the the day before.  For a 12 hour work day, there are 2 breaks; one 15 min break and a 30 minute lunch.  Upward mobility is difficult to obtain. They work on the buddy system and not who would be better fit for a particular job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at Webco for me was the teamwork and communication between management and the employees. It is a great job with great pay and many advancement opportunities

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working at Webco was trying to hit daily/weekly goals when the workload was short or the machines were broken down for hours at a time. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical work day was clocking in, reporting to your station, determining what orders you were going to run, running the orders, inspecting tubes to ensure they met specifications, help pack them up and send them out to the warehouse. Some days you start with PM's on the machine, other days you clock in and go right off the start.

They come off as this amazing opportunity and a place to build and grow in a career but have poor on job training and don't take the time to explain or help u learn the correct procedures and process's to perform the duty's of the job..they like to skimp on things like heat breaks and Would rather  have u busy ur self with assisting others on a task thats done even if that actually means following those coworkers around n watching it be done while trying to stay out of the coworkers performing it's way instead of taking that time to organize or clean or complete forms or to do your safety training computer courses required by corporate...

As a graphic design intern, I was not given much variety when it came to my job. However, as I progressed and exceeded the company's expectations, I was given more freedom and opportunities to work on different projects. The workplace culture is nice, as I found myself getting along very well with my coworkers. The team that I belonged to would often go to lunch together every week, and would plan different activities for the company like golf tournaments or escape rooms. The company was also very active with community service, which was very refreshing. During the time I interned there, various neighborhoods in Sand Springs suffered a lot of flood damage due to ongoing storms. Fortunately, Webco was able to provide food and other services to those who were effected by the storms.
