INSIDE SALES REPRESENTATIVE - Anonymous employee Rolled Alloys Employee Review

Good company. Profit sharing great.

Can be too political. Too much red tape

- Voluntary overtime throughout the week and on the weekend - Clean enough work environment, Janitors do a good job, but the cleanliness of your work station depends on you. - Continuous training/cross training (videos and/or 1 on 1) - Safety is taken seriously. The safety team are OSHA certified for CPR, AED, and basic first aid. - One lounge style lunch room with a market to buy snacks and drinks - Secure Facility with badge only entry - Company events and parties throughout the year - Company raffles and festive seasonal gifts - Decent pay, even for those without experience - Provides PPE, Uniforms, hoodies, your pick of free annual work boots, cool gadgets, stationary supplies, first aid packs, lockers - Two 15 min breaks and one 30 min paid lunch - Those who care are genuine and kind. Asking how your day is going and actually listens to your answer. -

- One mandatory overtime day during Inventory season where everyone has to come in on the morning shift even if you worked the previous shift. I hated this so much because I know it can be handled more efficiently than it is. - The difference in Office and Production areas are disparagingly different. Office employees are treated and view themselves as higher class individuals compared to Production employees. This quite literally shows in the quality of the work and break areas. Appearing as though all of the budget went to the Office area. The difference is most apparent in the break areas (Bathrooms, Lunchrooms, etc). There are even employee who look down on the Production employees. This silent segregation was constant in reminding me I didn't belong in certain areas of the building simply because of my job title and uniform. - Employees are incredibly gossipy and nosy. Spreading around peoples personal information that no one should know. Including things that should only be known by management. There is even information that makes it out of the Supervisor's office onto the production floor regarding an individual's pay, position, and/or employment status. A lot of employees do not like each other here to a point where there were MANY awkward situations I was made bystander to. - New hires are always quitting for the same reasons. Senior Production employees picking & choosing easy work and leaving the hard or complex work for the new hire is the main one. Many new hires also hate the way they are being trained. 2-4 hours on the computer watching boring training videos, then the remaining time spent on the floor with a guy who doesn't want to train you for real. They do a few weeks of that all for the trainer to go around telling everybody how much you suck and turn to you and say how well your doing. Nobody is keeping it real with these people and everything their told is super biased. Most new hires quit because of the people rather than the job itself. - Maintenance isn't bad, but there are times when they don't want to fix something or put it off onto another shift. Some machines are jerry-rigged and has numerous problems, yet operators are told/expected to keep running it until it goes down. The same goes for a couple of the forklifts they refuse to replace. One forklift in particular in the Shear aisle runs like an old Pontiac car with over 200,000 miles and an overheating problem. It constantly cut off on you, sound terrible, and drives like crap. Straight garbage. - All equipment are unsanitary. I had to make sure to clean any equipment I used because literally no one else does. I can't count the amount of times I've gotten sick by another employee coming to work with a cold and touching everything. I'm not even a germaphobe, but this was a really concerning thing that is not addressed here. - Communication barrier between departments and shifts are ongoing. Leading to a myriad of mistakes and quality issues that occur on a weekly basis. This alone costs the company a stupid amount of money annually. - The Production department either does not or can't keep a female employee because all the older men in there are literal creeps. I've personally seen and heard things said by these people that I should've 100% reported but didn't, because I didn't want to lose my job by appearing "problematic". There are still a few guys there that creep on the ladies in the office. This is for sure one of the reasons most office workers don't like mingling with production employees. There are only a couple ladies in the production department compared to about 40 male employees. - Not everyone is valued here and it shows. Those who are is apparent.
