Metal Sales Manufacturing Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Metal Sales Manufacturing full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Pay, bonus, 401k, job drive distance

Cons – Management at the Orwigsburg branch is well below average. Administrative Manager at the Orwigsburg branch is not supervised and creates a hostel work environment with other workers, but puts on a good show when corporate management shows up. Administrative manager uses fowl language daily and is unprofessional.(Metal Sales provided anger management class didn't help her).

Advice to Senior Management – Corporate office needs to run this branch or supervise closely and take action with the managements poor operational skills. New GM for 2013 and administrative manager clueless. (Put up cameras in their rooms and watch for yourself). Daily comment from customer service when hanging up the phone with customers is. Sucks to be you. And it's not my problem. Customer service manager has NEVER had a formal meeting about anything, you would think she would want to find ways to improve performance and help solve problems.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Metal Sales Manufacturing full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – In general, good employees wanting to drive the company forward. Branch locations are somewhat buffered from the ownership of the company.

Cons – Culture is driven by ownership's complete lack of respect and distrust of all employees. Owners instill and manage by fear and intimidation. Employees resigned to keeping heads down and out of the line of fire as much as possible.

Advice to Senior Management – Owners: Look in the mirror...

Current Employee – been working at Metal Sales Manufacturing

Pros – Talented co-workers.401K, decent insurance.

Cons – No training whatsoever. No standardized operations between branches. Each branch, its own fiefdom, reluctant to share anything. Eminent termination threat.

Advice to Senior Management – Get in touch with your employees. Find out what they need to compete in their individual markets. Training, training, training, and then hang on to your people. Stop hiring outside individuals with no market, or product knowledge. Start hiring, and building from within.

Former Employee – worked at Metal Sales Manufacturing

Pros – Very laid back place to work.

Cons – No room for growth
Upper management like to talk around issues instead of fixing issues.
Pay is low
Employee raises are very low

Advice to Senior Management – Get someone to run the branch that wants to improve all aspects not just someone who is a seller!
