I really enjoyed this job, inside...
Manufacturing - Maintenance Mechanic (Former Employee), Scottsville, TX – October 26, 2012
I didn't work here too long and the reason was the pay. I was promised a certain amount within a certain time and just didn't work out this way. I started low because of their promise for increase.
I had the opportunity to change jobs (IP) and General Cable couldn't come up with hourly rate as promised.
I really like the co-workers.
No complaints.

Fast-paced & fun place to work
Machine Operator (Former Employee), Jackson, TN – July 20, 2012
Pros: limited supervision
Cons: 12hr shifts
A typical day includes me operating extruder machine. I learned many automotive maintenance techniques. Management in this case are only concerned about profit. My co-workers at this company were great. I'm still friends with some of them until this day. Hardest part of this job is working outside. The most enjoyable part is that I get to work on cars.

empresa seria
oficial de tercera, trefileria. (Former Employee), Abrera – November 1, 2012
Pros: servicio medico en la empresa.
Cons: ninguna.
el aprendizaje requiere un tiempo tanto para el montaje como para el funcionamiento de las lineas, con lo cual la ayuda por parte de los operarios con experiencia y los jefes de la planta, es escepcional. Durante todo el tiempo facilitandote tanto la integracion como cualquier necesidad para el desempeño de mi trabajo, en cualquier momento; herramientas, – more... prendas de seguridad, o cualquier esplicacion necesaria.
Montar maquina fue lo mas dificil de aprender.
A primera hora me mirava el material que devia entrar en las maquinas, los carretes vacios, con la ayuda del relevo del turno anterior al mio. – less
