Timken Employer Reviews

I have Cert's in Machining from College and 20+ year's exp. Instead of hiring exp people from the steel trade they hire cashiers and bar tenders. Need I say more, of course I am referring to the St Clair plant in Eaton Ohio, which is where this job offer is from

Review of production of previous shifts, update scheduling lineups. Interact during daily fast response meeting with management to review, production results, expedites and concerns. The hardest part of the job often times are assuring customer receives product on or before promised delivery date. Delays caused often times from machine break downs, – more... or availablity of raw materials. The most enjoyable paqrt of the job is meeting our customer promise dates and knowing I did everything possible to meet promise date. – less

Timken was very family oriented. They trusted their employees to work by themselves and accomplish what needed to be accomplished. It was an excellent company to work for. There healthcare offered preventive care measures and healthcare workshops.

A typical workday is very nice.I have learned more about machines.The coworkers are really nice and love to be helpful.The hardest is probaly finding parking the parking lot because there is no parking if you get there late.The most enjoyable is having a lot of co-workers being nice.

Everyone was nice and work was steady.
Management was fair.
Breaks were far enough apart to make the day go by quicker

Overall I enjoyed working at Timken. They have high ethical standards and value your contribution.

A typical day at work is: Work 6:00 am to 4:00 PM Monday Through Thursday and if O/T is needed we work from 6:00 am through 2:00 pm Fri., Sat., or Sun.Work on a production line. Run, and maintain your own piece of equipment. No Maintenance crew here. We do have an Electrical Support Crew. We do our own material handling, P.M.'s
I learned alot about – more... maintenance and the upkeep of the equipment. Preventive maintenance and the ordering of critical spare parts. Had training on NDE (Non Destructive Evaluation) of steel after the Heat Treat Process to check for cracks of any abnormalities.
We work in a Team environment, so we do not have constant management supervision, unless needed.
The hardest part of my job is the mental stress of not know the outcome of a layoff.
The most enjoyable part of my job is working in a climate controlled building. Knowing that I will be getting off and going home at the end of the work day. Unless there is a break down or something out of the normal. – less

Swing shift is a downfall, but the money is good as well as the benefits. I did learn many new jobs. Mgt is mgt.

A day at Timken is focused on producing a quality product within on time delivery. My work experience focuses on training, quality, inventory management, and working in a team environment. The team environment is aimed at offering an open exchangable working experience. The hardest part of the job would be having an educated background with no chance – more... of career advancement within the organization. The work experience within Timken has given an opportunity to advance my leadership skills, computer skills, and inventory management knowledge. – less

My experience at Timken was a good one. Fellow co-workers and managers were very helpful. I was given the chance to work at different things during my short time there and it was close to my home. Overall my time there was very rewarding.

I worked on the furnace and the ladle aisle in very hot tempatures. I worked a 7 day swing shift and had plenty of overtime.

great management team,the phrase theres no I in team work is so true their

I worked on an induction machine when I left. I liked working alone on machinery. My supervisor knew I was more than capable of getting the job done and the work I produced was top quality. Great people to work with and for. The hardest part of the job was rotating shifts.

This was a very petite job, you always had to be on point. It got very hot at timken in the summer, but u can find ways to stay cool and hydrated

training was excellent, opportunities to go far, accountablity that was acknowledged all the time learned a lot of skills and proffesionalism

good company to work for. they just have some employees in leadership positions that are prejudice and show favoritism to dishonest employees. they really need to emphasize on the importance of safety. alot of unsafe work being done there.
