Solberg Manufacturing reviews

In general they are terribly understaffed and disordered. There is a quiet chaos that leads you to wonder what is going to catch fire next. Everyday is a game of hot-potato as the turn over here is incredible. There is a growing separation of general product knowledge have's and have nots. Scrap is an issue, the floor has a mentality that it is cheaper to remake it. Leadership will either take no accountability often searching for blame to be on a person's shoulders rather than the inefficiencies they are facing or give the issue to the same few who always handle it. There are questionable practices with a third facility. There is a movement to 'title-less' roles, but in a place where no one or "the regular-ones" are responsible there aren't really titles to begin with. There needs to be movement that brings in 45 and under crowd of thinkers because there are many long term (15+ years) employees who do not want change and cannot think outside of the box. There are many family groups that work here including the owners. Outsiders on the production floors are bullied out, yelled at, and often quit in less than 30 days. There is a strong patriarchal leadership mentality (ex: women cannot drive a forklift, but may drive the pickers) on the production floor and hints in the office working atmosphere, female leaders do not always have strong support and are second guessed or blown off. Parking is tough, the lot fills up quickly.

In growth phase... company is sorting out best way forward. Decisions are carefully considered and, as a result, sometimes more time-consuming than needed.
