I was looking into a job change since I really hate my job now and was wondering if anyone works there or has heard of the company, pay, environment… They have a job fair saturday which I may attend but I just never heard of anyone work there or of the company. ---

They are very busy right now. They have alot of CNC machines and welders. Shop is kinda dimly lit the last time I was in there. That’s all I got. ---

I was going to go there as a welder, but their work is pretty shitty. all crappy quality mig work… I’d be ashamed to put them as a place I used to work at on my resume honestly. :\ As far as a shop as a whole, I asked my dad and he said it’s a shitty terrible company. This was back around 2000-2002 or so. He said guys used the coolant buckets for machines to spit their chew spit in. But if ya need a job, a job is a job. I gave them a salary requirement of a minimum of 38k provided excellent benefits and they gave me a call back… so I assume they’ll pay pretty decent. But then the impression I got is that they’ll dick you around. I believe the girl I spoke with was Jessica… or something with a J. They have a pretty decent website with all their product line on it… so you can get a good overview of what they do and what to expect. ---

I quoted them on replacing every one of their welding powersources with Miller Axcess machines and feeders. They wanted to data log every weld/parameter, arc on/off time, ect. Excellent idea for tight quality control, still haven’t pulled the trigger yet. ---

Hmmmmm. I’m currently on the job hunt. I’m such of being screwed over by my boss and expected to do a million things and he gives me one of the lowest raises. I have tons of experience. I really wish I could land a job with csx or northern suffolk. They seem like they pay good money. ---

They are a client of ours, and we handle their IT… Yes, they are very busy. As far as what they do, and how they operate, I can not comment. ---

They’re somewhere around 10k each for the 300 aren’t they? That would be a nice sale for you, lol. ---

I worked there for some time, let’s just say 10+ years but was not a shop employee. What skills do you have or are you looking for on the job training? ---

It’ll be hard work as they expect a lot of you. Very hot in the summer. Pretty much as much OT as you want to work. If you’re willing to work hard its a great place to get skills and training too. > I know a couple engineers there but can’t really comment as I’ve never been there and they don’t complain about the place. I know every engineer thats worked there for the last 15 years. You know current or previous engineers? ---

Some of the top people have left to work at other cylinder companies but that was a while ago. That’s all I got. ---
