Pace Industries Employer Reviews

Pace is a die-casting facility in Arden Hills, MN. My days consisted of trimming the die of the parts after they were cast, filling up the metal furnace i was assigned to and cleaning up at the end of the day. Mngmt, is my only complaint about this company, simple details are constant change in work hours and vacation days. Our CEO however was absolutely – more... great, he would come down to the floor and wanted make sure we were happy about once a week. Employees were great, fun to work with and always had some interesting work assignments. The work was good, very engaging and quite hot during the summer months. The most enjoyable part of my day was the end, after the sun went down the facility cooled off, it was a great way to end each day at a hot summer job. – less

Load and unload between 300 to 1200 parts in and 8 hour shift. fast cycle times

They try to care about their employees, but are a bit out of the loop as far as recognizing how issue laden and repetitive many of the jobs are. They have a 401K plan, but provide n o company match.

The health insurance is ifffy, and does not pay out much for some routine medical services that I feel should be covered more extensively: i.e., colonoscopies, – more... dental check-ups.

Co workers are fine, and what I've come to expect during my several stints in factory/manufacturing work environments.

The hardest part of my job is mainly the the EXTREME repetitiveness of the machine operation work that I perform. You are assigned daily to a particular machine that makes a particular part and you cycle that machine about 800-1000 times in a shift, using the same hand and wrist motions each time. – less

The experiences is good I learn how to change shot tip on the machine . fits oil leaks, trouble shoot and fits other problems on the machine that need to be fits.

Great work hours with minimal weekend work. Easy to work around family. Great company to work for. Management extended themselves to anyone in need.

Some travel, even work load, nice people to work with.

The Exec team is a good group of folks.

The Mid-Level team is strong also.

The Facilities have pretty good leaders as well

Very conservative company, not big on risk or reward

I started there in the trim department worked in that area for about four years, then i advanced to the machining department and i was running c.n.c. and worked there for about five years, then i had the chance to move into assembly/deburring department with advancement to be come a lead and with that i started training people in, started makeing up – more... processes for our jobs on assembly and deburring. As with learning to inspect parts be for shipping. I have been lucky to have great co-workers. Im involed in the safety committee, strategic deployment,lean horizons. and was in internal audit team. I enjoy being able to be involed in all aspects of my job and keep on learning. – less

Iv worked here for ten years now and every year it gets worse. They pick there fav people and thats it.

HOW DIE CAST MACHINE OPERATE, AND TRIM PRESS. HOW TO WORK SMART AND SAFE. THE CHANCE TO TRAIN PEOPLE. SOME MANAGEMENT IS OK, SOME CO-WORK ARE OK, HARDEST PART IS MISCOMMUNICATION, AND THE PART IS THE EXPERIENCE.

hardware administration support was more reactive to performance issues than proactive as opposed to my approach to be preemptive. I was given freedom to create bottom up new capabilities, and enhancesments to present capabilities(deem it extreem improvement). at odds with parent company Primex which was returning to 3rd generation software (IBM vindage – more... 1980)development as compared to the Pace provided tools that were 3rd,4th,and 5th generation(object oriented programming) software development. Shown highway, Pace morphed into parent company Primex. Hi end production said bye bye on their own. – less

not a bad job worked pretty hard and the day went fast worked alot of overtime

too much o.t. managment doesn't give dreaction. slow pace . no tooling no machines that work right. production doesn't train. people don't know what to do.

They are really nice people but they like to "let you go" on the 89th day

the company is well organize fun place to work everyone did a fair share of work quality controll ( perfect )
