Rea Magnet Wire reviews about "pay"

safety, fires on the drawing stands, breathing fumes from enamel all day, favoritism and bullying from managers, crappy 12 shifts

You work a swing shift. There is dangerous chemicals that you work with and the air contains a lot of fumes.

Morale was low. Some workers downright bitter. The work was hard and the pay was low. Though, at the time of my departure, Rea was going through some restructuring. Nevertheless, even after the market analysis, my pay rate did not increase. I know a lot and was growing in skill, and feel my work was worth more. It's why I left.

Lots of over time bad

None. Great place to work. Good pay and benefits for the jobs performed.

hours or work, managment is a good ol boys club, favoritism is rampant

sentenced for knowingly spreading AIDS through sexual activity and IV drug use. There was recently a stabbing on the floor. I know I was accosted by a female panhandling that used to work there. Seems they like to hire some people on work release programs. Anyways I just bring all this up because HR typically have poor critical thought processes ( or logic or any other skill that requires concentration) and I’d imagine they’ll lump you in with the couple bad apples. Also outside of this city there aren’t many opportunities in this exact business. If you get a job at the factory maybe one day you can look forward to getting an easier job making another $1.5 an hour. Maybe a handful of people out of thousand’s have moved up to supervisory or cushy type jobs but virtually nobody has ever been promoted to the corporate side. The place stinks like burning wire and various chemicals, you’ll stink as well after working there. In fact you’ll need to go home shower and change your clothes before you go out in public because everybody will freak out thinking there’s an electrical fire going on. Nobody cares… about anything. Seems like most people just see this as a place to go hangout at. If you’re a driven person you’ll frequently have to do everybody else’s work. You’re probably going to end up usually working 70+ hours a week. I usually didn’t mind, I need the money and it’s what you have to do if you want to almost make those grown-up people paychecks. Façade of caring, they don’t really care about you your family or your safety (they just don’t want to be held accountable if you get in an accident) or work life balance. Like I said they don’t care about anything. Just don’t let them lull you into thinking that it’s anything more than a job. As a new employee you’ll have zero sick days, emergency days, vacation days, family days etc. After 3+ years it starts to get generous. Appears most of the old-timers have health issues . The “union” is pretend , keep your money
