Friendly environment but lacks employee loyalty - Maintenance Manager ME Elecmetal Employee Review

Everything, nice management! Better work culture

No cons at all! It’s onsite

Great safety culture. Well above average salary and benefits for the area and foundry industry at-large. Very technically interesting manufacturing process for engineers, lots of opportunity for continual learning and development. Forward-looking business and CapEx planning, new induction furnaces are being installed in the next 3 years. Quarterly performance bonus for salaried employees, typically pays out well since operations and quality performance is well-managed.

Pretty flat organizational structure - not much opportunity to move up for technical people other than middle management. Production tons follow boom-bust cycle of the mining customers, so during the boom times there are sometimes 2 weekends/month where production is scheduled. Salary exempt staff is expected to come in but receives no additional compensation.
