Pros

Kurt Mfg Co Main St division performs many complex sequences to a wide variety of product line. Employees work in a fast paced, safe environment using cutting edge machine tool technology. Kurt is an ESOP, which gives the employees all an equal responsibility to provide our customers with quality they expect.

Cons

"Old school" culture that is at times difficult to change.

Pros

People at Kurt are like family. Management treats you like a person, not a number. Great place to grow your career, Kurt always strives to promote from within. Educational benefits pays for school while you advance. Very challenging work. ESOP so now all employees have a stake in business.

Cons

Kurt is a contract machining company. Work load is ever changing. Overtime one week and 40 hours the next.

We appreciated you taking the time to post a review! As an Employee Owner, you know what Kurt is like. Our culture is why so many people come to Kurt to build long term careers. Kurt posts job openings and supports ongoing training through tuition reimbursement, certification testing, cross training on the job and targeted skill development. We look for motivated people interested in doing challenging work as part of a team.

Pros

The Kurt Machining Division has a great deal of upcoming opportunities for those who want to pursue advancement. Kurt has many employees that are happy in their current positions and not climbing over each other for advancement. Many people outside the twin cities don't understand how easy it is to get to Kurt Mfg. The North Star commuter rail and North Star Link run from St Cloud to downtown Minneapolis, Monday thru Friday, with a stops near the the Kurt facilities in Coon Rapids and in Fridley.

Cons

I wish we could find and hire more people to fill the open positions so we could grow to meet the growing customer needs.
