Pros

Meet new people every two weeks make good friends

Cons

Poor management from the floor up no compensation for learning new skills or evaluations hire anybody from the one wanted from homeland security on their first day and still employ them to the bomb threats to airport and still employ them. Turnover is extremely high due to management money and no training or standardized work flow! Communication does t happen anyone off the street is welcome into the cycle of garbage! Racist company against minority.

Pros

Real friendly people. lots of overtime opportunities if you want it. Room to grow and learn new stuff. Lots of people that have been here a long time, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years. If they got happy people that have been here that long then they must be doing something right.

Cons

The shop isn't temperatrue controlled and some people have real trouble with the heat int he summer time. They got coolers and fans everywhere but ya its hot. You get used to it though. better than working in construction in the heat and under the sun. Its also real busy right now.

Pros

They literally hire anyone regardless of past or current involvements. The four day work week is a plus.

Cons

*Will hire anyone regardless of past or current involvements. *Very few considerations for PPE and workplace safety. Have not ever witnessed a tornado or safety drill here. *Most tools and machines are actively broken or are retrofit to make them work. Examples being a dull shearing machine, inconsistently heating ovens, and barely functioning forming machines. *Absolutely no support structure, I mean ZERO. One person can't be everywhere at once. Current leadership is new and being trained and cannot be expected to pick up the entire company's slack. *Classic "Hurry up and wait" combined with "do it last minute". There is no such thing as prioritization here. *How the metrics are tracked for departments needs a complete overhaul. If a worker makes / cuts / assembles 100 parts, 90 of which are good, 10 are bad, you can't break down the reasoning for the bad parts. All 10 are bad for X reason, not 7 of those were moisture in the material, and the remaining 3 were caused by machine errors. *Make the raises based of the incorrectly tracked metrics. You won't get a raise, good luck with that. Over 2 years for me now. *Departments and machines are split up causing a tremendous amount of unnecessary work going back and forth between the three buildings. *Give workers authority to stop production for X reason and ignore the workers reason for stopping production, instructing them instead to make the parts anyway.

Thank you for your feedback. We value feedback from both current and past employees. The feedback you've provided will be shared with leadership so we can review some of your suggestions. Please know that we do value the safety of our employees above and beyond our processes or making product. In the past year, we have refocused on our safety culture and enhanced our safety training for employees. We now hold monthly safety meetings that employees are required to attend and are holding employees accountable to following safety policies. That focus will continue into 2026 with enhanced and consistent trainings. We are also currently evaluating several of our metrics, how these are currently being tracked and whether these methods are effective and provide a true representation of our performance as a company. While we can not do anything about our current facilities layout, the layout is functional and follows the flow of production. What we can do is address tools and equipment that is not functioning correctly. Please know that we all have an open door policy and encourage you to visit with your leadership to provide feedback in person. We would love the opportunity to speak with you regarding your concerns and work together to find a solution some of these issues. Thank you again for your feedback.
