Good place to learn, but if you need something with better pay, look elsewhere. Has profit sharing twice a year. Hourly wage is sub-par. Good stepping stone to move to something better.

One of the best places I had the pleasure of working. Clear advancement path, decent management, emphasis on safety, and solid benefits. There's room to grow into other areas and once you have a few different tasks under your belt, overtime is pretty easy to come by.

When advancing its not a clear, laid out path of expectations or tasks. Which can make it seem like it takes forever and even though you do the job they don’t give the title because it requires a pay increase.

They should always give out a title when you are getting a promotion because you do deserve I increase in your salary

That's too bad. 🍒

Exotic metals has treated me more than fairly. I started like everyone, thinking that I knew it all. I didnt, but I learned. They aren’t really open to new ideas, but they give you the latitude to do things your own way. If your way works better, it gets adopted pretty quickly.
