Stuck in 2005 - Anonymous employee Marmon/Keystone Employee Review

Some of the pros that I have experienced while working at Marmon/Keystone is the ability to grow within your department. They also help develop interns and entry-level positions to not only grow within the company but to grow in their careers. Another pro is that there is cross-collaboration between departments when issues arise to help prevent further issues and to help grow relationships between the departments.

The biggest and only con that I have experienced is the turnover within our leadership roles at this moment.

site management was good, just overwhelmed with huge workloads placed on them. employees at the site were good to work with. some senior management was great. others you heard their name randomly and you never saw them at a site, ever. especially sales .

sales is lagging terribly. low to no inventory most of the time. equipment goes months without even being turned on. investments to improve site conditions for employees in the warehouse seemed to take forever to get accomplished. its loud, dusty and smoky all the time. breathing in that soot is not healthy for you. site is hard to get to since its location in the city is dangerous. cranes that go right over your head with dangling loads of loose pipe is scary. pay is also very low for a company like this. we have had 4 mass layoffs in 5 years so stability isn't here. same with a rotating door of leadership. its a company that is circling the drain to a slow and eventual death.
