Xtreme Manufacturing

Days start out like any day, a safety meeting followed by some kind of consternation against the employees whether be about eating or words said overheard by management. Encouragement and motivational speeches are followed with immediate threats of writeups or termination. 4-10s was great with that extra day off except for the mandatory friday which is pretty much an excuse to make sure employees dont have too much freedom. 

Not much can be learned at this place if you don't know how to use tools, you're pretty much on your own without some guidance from a veteran worker most of what i learned was learned from a previous employee or extremely dated prints. 

Management pretty much has an adversarial position against the employees one in particular doesn't know anything about the products or general mechanics, the other I never had direct experience with him since he works the other division but seemed to follow through on requests better than my former. My direct manager wasnt much of anything, best description of my work experience with his is like working with a functioning rat, must be a San Diego thing. The recent "reduction in workforce" was a ruse to get rid of as many Snorkel division employees so that the plant manager could expand his favored division, and avoid giving some of the longer term employees a raise. 

Work culture is what it is you got the slackers and slobs that drag everyone down, then you have the ones who keep their heads down and look busy. Some days are slow some are quicker the mood generally stays upbeat considering the odds are always against the employees.

I would say the hardest part of the job is dealing with the constant lack of parts or incorrectly made parts that end up with a bunch of downtime where you have to watch your back because upper management will find any excuse to cut you lose. 
70% of your days consist of looking for tools to even do the job, The division i worked in was more or less the red-headed stepchild of the company and that's me putting it lightly.  How bad? it took 2 years to get a dedicated pallet jack and that was because upper management pretty much has it out for the division for some petty or weird reason. Breaks and Lunches are so short you basically have no room to breathe before you have to clock in, also I'm pretty sure they're breaking the law somewhere regarding the break times. 

What's there to enjoy, i guess surviving another week with a paycheck to go home with. 


  

The typical of work here starts with a meeting then to threated to fire everyone in certain departments give task that can't met the deadline from the start spend more time tearing down set ups then running parts till the job is done.

I learned from the head machinist there he is very knowledgeable but It does no good when they fire all knowledgeable people and have layoffs every three months.

Management is the worst I've seen in 11 years pretty much none existence never will help you openly lie and gaslight you.

Workplace culture id as toxic as it comes openly pinning departments against each other workers are very hostile and not trustworthy.

The hardest part of the job is dealing with the looming fact the company is trying every way to screw over works lieing about benefits,pay,layoffs after layoffs working like you have a gun to your head all the time not knowing when they want to strip your benefits away because its in convenient for the company

There wasn't much enjoyment of the job they make it impossible to focus on any project that comes forward I seriously urge people to stay away from this company its a extreme shady company 



This is a production company where the workdays can feel quite repetitive. If you're new to welding, you'll pick up some valuable skills, but if you have more experience, this may not be the right fit for you. The pay isn’t competitive considering the demands of the job. While they claim to provide tools, you'll often find that they’re worn out and not functional, with sharing being the norm. Good luck getting the right tools when you need them. Safety is emphasized here, but the "safety meetings" often miss the mark. They say you can go home if you’re sick, but that can have consequences. Overtime tends to be reserved for favorites. There are some excellent leads here who are underappreciated, while others have simply climbed the ranks through longevity and politicking. Thankfully, there are many great coworkers who are willing to lend a hand, which can make the day a bit smoother. The most challenging aspect of the job is navigating QC inspections; it can take considerable time to get feedback, and you might receive mixed messages from different inspectors over minor details. However, the highlight of your day is definitely leaving the parking lot!

this is a full of good people to work with. but management need to do a better job at inventory and the numbers they want us to produce is crazy hahaha. when i first started we need to build 3 to 4 a week. Now right before they let me go for reduction in workforce they want us to build 8 a week. But they laid people and want more work done. Didnt get my 90 day raised like i was promise. They started to cut over time hrs. But when i first started I worked 63-67 hrs a week. and was told I can stay as long as there is someone there with me. Over all alright company if u dont mine working 2 hrs ot every day but if they do cut the ot. Its not gonna be worth it working there. No raise since i was there i crossed trained and worked in 3 dept. and train 5 people but they still said i was an average employee. I even went to my old dept. to help out when they was behind and trained other employees to do the job right and I still got let go for the fact they did a workforce reduction. I did missed days but everyone did. Like I said the production line people are good people but i dont know about management beside Joel and Jose...

I started on nights and that crew and that manager were top notch, I transferred to days due because I needed to be home at night with the family, they were easy to work with on that point. So here is the issue, on day shift they have leads in place who have less that two years experience, I spent a whole lot of time trying to find work to do, I spent hours a day on jobs that should have been finalized in half or a quarter of the time but was told by leadership to stretch them and make them last, but nobody on the floor seemed to be telling the owner that there was no work on the floor, that the planners, and project managers  were dropping the ball and that their purchasers were letting us run out of consumables constantly. Combine those things with the massive amount of drama that comes from fraternization between members of leadership and well the whole place is not well operated.

Hello, 

A typical day for most employees is very long, physically and mentally demanding, and challenging. I have learned a lot of how a manufacturing company's procedural flow works and more importantly what common mistakes are made to produce negativity, low employee moral, and poor results.

I would say the most negative and discouraging element is not what I do or where I work, but the negative and draining managerial environment presented by senior and upper management staff members. Recognition programs and incentives are non-existent, employees are subjected to physically demanding hours and mandatory overtime required to be worked on weekends. There is little the company offers in constructive reviews, bonuses, incentives, monetary increases, and benefits.

Work-life balance
Work-life balance at Xtreme Manufacturing is terrible you work too much

Pay & benefits
My pay and benefits at Xtreme Manufacturing are bad, the only thing that makes up for the pay is the hours but then you have no life

Job security and advancement
In terms of job security at Xtreme Manufacturing, I think there is no security one day I was be praised and the next I was gone no telling what might happen, a lot of SNAKES

Management
In general, managers at Xtreme Manufacturing are out for themselves might find a few that are cool but don’t put all your trust with them

Culture
Collaboration with my colleagues at Xtreme Manufacturing is good but some people are out for them selfs and we’ll do anything to look better than you

Overall
My experience working at Xtreme Manufacturing it’s a great place to learn stuff and try new things but not a career or a good job

Xtreme Manufacturing is a great work place. It is important to be able to work alone as well as with a team in order to accomplish task. I was able to advance my skills in welding while working with Xtreme, as well as develop in metal fabricating and blueprint reading. Co-workers in the plant were courteous and helpful. This company requires a lot of hours as it is a manufacturing company and manual labor is required in order to make deadlines. The hardest part of the day was on slower days when there is less work to be done. I enjoyed communication with co-workers as well as having a variety of tasks to complete. Although most work is repetitive there is enough different tasks to not become bored with repetition.

Prior to joining Xtreme, I was a Automotive Technician for a dealership and the dealership environment itself is usually pretty toxic in general, and that’s what I compare the environment at Xtreme to be like. 

The hours were 6am - 2:30PM perfect hours with weekends off, although last Saturday of the month is mandatory to be worked. By the time the day is over you just feel like a zombie, you’re stuffed in one area for 8 hours, you’re exhausted and have no energy to do anything. Management is always pushy and rushy always expecting everything to be done at the snap of a finger. The president of the company is constantly walking around looking for reasons to bust someone for something. You can’t get your work done without feeling watched your entire shift. It’s somewhat an unhealthy environment to be in.

I worked here fir 4 years and learned that the higher up you get the less responsibility you have to take as you can just put the blame on your subordinates when trying to weasel out of a situation you out yourself in. The leadership is constantly changing directives and refuses to take accountability for a lot of the self made issues. Instead they attack their employees who work very hard to keep up with the inconsistency.  This company is plagued by a culture of snake like behavior and produces toxic leadership because of it. The only reason this place is getting 2 stars is because of the few who were not snakes were very great people to work with.
