Kromet International

In my honest opinion, I am surprised this company has not kicked the bucket yet considering how the workplace is managed.

The usual work day for the operator on the floor involves the usual manufacturing grind including fabrication, pressing and CNC. The job requires basic manufacturing skills to safely operate machinery. 

Now heading up to management is where things are an absolute mess. The higher ups' never want to spend money on the correct machinery or add proper processes to ensure a quicker, more reliable rate of production. It is a shock to me when there is a meeting about how machinery needs to be changed or no production will be done; yet they will never do anything about it until the machine completely eats dirt and causes thousands of dollars in lost time. 

The Quality department, in which I worked in, is and most likely will be a complete mess. There is never proper standards to follow or rules being enforced for proper quality procedures. There are never any new processes being made to combat future issues that are staring them in the face. Any new suggestions I bring up, or even new standards or programs I create to try and ensure that something could get enforced and changed did not matter in the slightest. 

All in all, the company is not recommended for a long job opportunity, only a quick way to make a few bucks.

Would not recommend working here. Only as a filler if you desperately need a job. People who care about their jobs tend to leave due to no one ever getting in trouble for anything. I’ve seen other operators run their machine only half their shift and walk around and not get in trouble. One of the supervisors is known to disappear for hours at a time and management doesn’t care. I left for a company that values hard work and appreciates hard work.  If you’re an operator that cares you will feel unappreciated and if you’re a supervisor, you’ll be responsible for everything while they give you no help to get the job done. Those who get work done, get more added onto their plate. Those who don’t get anything done, get away with it. Seems fair right?

IF you do decent numbers of parts and look like you're working they'll leave you alone.
If not, they're not 'the nicest' per say.

They'll blame you for their own technical issues.

Management is very bad while your fellow workers and direct manager is good, but there's only so much they can do as they're on the bottom of the pyramid. 

Lack of formal training and communication.

only positive is pay is decent and once you get the hang of things, you can get skilled.

Handling the parts wasn't difficult as they're not heavy but not being allowed to sit down while you're waiting was the toughest part.

Get reimbursed for anything you buy for work ASAP as they don't respond to emails when you're no longer employed.

• Fast paced production environment.

• I learned how to inspect, assemble and pack products with the ability to recognize a good part from a reject.

• During a typical day at work I will be at a work station responsible for making sure I have what I need to ensure proper delivery of good products in a high volume.

• During my employment with Kromet International I have learned a variety of different skills.

•The hardest part of my job is the physical demands; Standing for long hours, moving skids, racking and unracking.

•The most enjoyable part of my job is the relationships I’ve formed with co-workers and management on a more personal level.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Use to be a good place to work, now it's gone to sith since new management took over and the senior H.R person is hateful 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having to do someone else's work on the fork lift because they didn't like to drive and take things off the shelves 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Some people are very nice, and others not so much ..like anywhere I guess 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, having to drive a fork lift at this place can play a tole on your nerves

I worked there for 5 days. I was told my pay would be sent through email, and I have yet to see a penny from this company. This speaks volumes to me. I would never support or purchase products from an employer that doesn't pay it's employees. Tomorrow is Christmas eve to add more stress to this whole situation. Now I am wasting my time trying to contact someone regarding my pay I am owed, when I could be looking for gainful employment with an honest company. This is ridiculous! To say the least. Horrible company. Stay away

On a typical day at work i would go at my assigned machine and start cutting my parts at the right length and continue doing so until the order was filled or i was put on a different machine. The pay is really great but the lack of training makes it hard for the new comers to learn the environment. Also i was let go 2 weeks before i was to be unionized for reasons i still do not know because i was not given any reason to why i was being let go and that i had never received any negative feedback from the management.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good People to work with and train you.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Too closely tied to Automotive so we all know how that goes.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The group I worked with was friendly and helpful.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Routine and busy.Typically more of the same. Kinda noisy.

In my personal experience, I would say the co-worker environment and the good amount of motivation by the supervisors was the most beneficial during my time. Though the only memorable negative about my experience was the conflict between projects between engineering and manufacturing as testing for new product require taking time out of production and/or labour

Interaction with all departments and outside resources providing support and guidance to the manufacturing engineering and maintenance groups.
Further expanded my knowledge in maintenance tactic, engineering environmental compliance, powder coating and aluminum extrusion.
Chemical process as it relates to aluminum anodizing.
A dedicated group of co-workers.
