ABB Motors and Mechanical, Inc. Reviews

Pros

Profitable and optimized plant performance.

Cons

Maybe just locations all being near each other.

Pros

There were descent chances for promotion.

Cons

Pay was lagging behind compared to other manufacturing.

Pros

LOTS OF OT if you like to work and have money

Cons

Bad leadership and buddy buddy system in management

Pros

Good co-workers, laid back work enviornment

Cons

Department management could use some major work, no guidance on job duties whatsoever. Everything moves super slow due to the bureaucracy integrated into the company. Measly raises. Annual reviews are a joke where you have to "review yourself". Mediocre to below average pay relative to other companies. No opportunities for advancement. High turnover rate.

Pros

My former co-workers were very goal oriented. We came together to accomplish our common and individual goals. If you needed help or were able to give help, both were present at all times. Our department leads were involved and very hands-on.

Cons

There was a disconnect between the overhead and the shop floor. Sometimes it jeopardized the ability to be as productive as possible. Communication is key in an assembly process. There is a trickle-down effect, that can change the entire outcome and efficiency.

Pros

Good hours, and great pay

Cons

Vacation hours, and many breaks

Pros

Really good job, no complaints

Cons

Wish the pay was better, but overall not bad

Pros

For the area, the pay was phenomenally good, but this may have been a carryover from the Reliance/Baldor days. The local team, my supervisor, the plant manager, and many of our engineers were some of the best that I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

Cons

After ABB purchased Baldor (our facility manufactured custom 300hp+ Reliance motors) they spent quite a bit of money on two local facilities, only to shut them down 3 years later. Rather than continue to manufacture a good reliable motor that our customers loved that continues to make a profit, they decided that due to the change in political climate, that they would sell a cheaper alternative built overseas for a higher profit return. Be wary if ABB buys the company you work for, they're in the business of buying out competition, shutting it down, and then selling junk back in its place.

Pros

Hours, Benefits, Flexibility, Pay, and Culture

Cons

extremely face paced work environment

Pros

Stable position. Decent pay for the area.

Cons

Poor management. No HR support. Constant restructuring. No advancements.
