Pros

- Some cool coworkers - Decent pay

Cons

Honestly, most of the problems came from management. Upper management handled the recent merger terribly, and after that everything seemed to slowly fall apart. The office atmosphere felt miserable. People were constantly overworked, underappreciated, and managed by supervisors who often seemed to get their positions through favoritism rather than actual ability. The whole culture felt like a boys’ club. Layoffs happened regularly, and instead of bringing in fresh talent, they usually just shuffled people around internally within MW. As the company started losing money, management’s attempts to fix things only made customers more frustrated and led to even more layoffs. One situation that really summed things up for me was being reprimanded by upper management for doing something plant management had specifically instructed me to do. Moments like that made it obvious there was basically no communication or alignment between upper and middle management.

HDQ Office Few Employee Presence & Great Perks

Pros

Paid for lunch when in office and full autonomy to do what you think is best with an entrepreneurial mindset. Great pay and benefits.

Cons

My time at MW was brief although when I was there a handful of people were let go with no explanation at random times; myself included. Tenure in the office was less than 2 years for majority of employees. HDQ office really did not have an inclusive culture - felt bleak or fake, however, plant locations thrived and were proud of their work.

Mediocrity is the Standard

Pros

Decent place to start if you have never done machining before, Variety of parts and skills to learn, Can be a good place for older folks looking to ride out to retirement. Vacation time is plentiful if you manage it well. Plenty of decent guys just most are burnt out though.

Cons

Little to no upward movement, Very little training, Practices nepotism and favoritism. Management never sticks to their plans and is constantly moving goal posts and 'restarting' their initiatives. No consistency throughout the plant, mediocrity is encouraged and rates are more suggestions, HEAVY scrap load due to mismanaged process/ lack of training/ lack of accountability. Big gap between management and folks on the shop floor. Company has been sold several times in the time i've been here. Raises and promotions often postponed "We can't give out promotions right now as the company is managing its books to look good for the Sale" (Sale meaning the company getting ready to be sold) management waits until the problem is bad before fixing anything. Pretty much to sum up, Unless you want something that you can just put in the bare minimum and are ok with lack of upward movement look elsewhere.
