Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry Co.

Great place to work for. Management is very helpful and respectful.  Supervisor's are very understanding to your home life and needs. Training is very sufficient and helpful in your job duties. Breaks are not lacking in time. Sufficient time for you to finish your meals and to relax. Hardest part of the job is the heat. But you will get acclimated to it. Workload isn't overwhelming and if additional breaks need to be taken in order to recupe because of the heat, you are able to break for a few minutes. Pay is above average and overtime is available for those who want it. You can cross train different equipment to gain more knowledge.  

A typical day at W.A.F. for me was pouring aluminum into metal dies making quality aluminum castings for a variety of customers. Including following detailed process sheets, filling out daily data sheets, running computer operated heavy machinery, and driving forklift among many others. I believe the heat really made the job extremely tough while working beside 800 degree molds and 1400 degree furnaces. The best part of the job for me was working with my co-workers which made the heat somewhat bearable for the previous 15 years. 

The guys are great to work with. 
The management over the years has really gone downhill. It’s all about who you know, not what you know. The supervisors are usually buddies of upper management. Management expects a lot out of you when they don’t really know how to do the job themselves. The pay should be a lot better for what they expect. They cater to certain people. Only work there if you’re desperate. 
The vacation schedule is good though 

The work gets boring after you learn what to do and it gets hot obviously. The supervisors are good you can talk to them anytime if you need something or have a question. Work overtime and you can make decent money but dont have much life outside work. breaks could be longer and who ever comes up with the rates needs to do the job themself they are insane on some jobs. I dont plan on staying here for the rest of my life but its a good group of people

I would report to the same spot daily and clean parts with hand grinders, files and other tools. I would read process sheets to make sure each part was getting cleaned properly and if there was any issues I would take it to management to determine what we could do to change the process. Overall it wasn't a bad place to work.

a harder dirty place to work at . got to learn a lot of the moter cycle parts grinding them and raming them out of their castings a lot of people that i didnt know much and wouldn of got to see unless working there . hardest part of the job was the danger of the equipment . the best part was the beneifits

It was hardwork but they pay was worth it the supervisors always pushed you to your best, I just hated the fact that there were nosy people who didnt mind their own business and always stated the fact that they were their longer and takes advantage of seniority.
