mechanic - Mechanic Ball Corporation Employee Review

Great Pay, good benefits, plenty of time off

Management in some areas, no climate control.

There isn't a difficult job in the building. The pay is good for the area, especially since most of the positions don't require any specialized training before hiring in.

Some of the chemicals used throughout the plant, will cause irritation. Some on your skin, some in your airways. Mandatory overtime is the most annoying part of this work environment. The work schedule is 4 on, 4 off, however, you find out late in your shift on your 2nd day working if you will be forced any overtime during your days off (you can be forced up to 2 of your 4 days off). There are also conversion and maintnencance days that are mandatory overtime, in addition to the forced production overtime days. While these days add a nice chunk of change to your paycheck, they make it extremely difficult to plan ANYTHING.
