Greedy, corner cutting and brutal

Welder (Former Employee) - Redmond, OR - September 12, 2023

All this company cares about is money. They always want more more and do not care about the individual worker who is actually working on the parts. They do not care about your safety or your Wellness. They do not pay very well considering they are the top Aerospace company doing this type of work. Management is absolutely brutal because upper management is brutal. Management literally does nothing and same with human resources. Anytime you need something or have a concern they blow you off or just straight lie to you. All they want is money more more more.

Pros

None

Cons

Your entire existence will suffer. Mental physical spiritual.

Terrible Place to Work

Engineer (Former Employee) - Seattle, WA - August 14, 2023

Only cares about making the CEO happy. Chronic understaffing, bad pay, would rather stick a bandaid on something rather than fix it. They pretend to care about safety and quality until they have to pay for it.

Only care about numbers. Will get rid of people after 30 Yrs!!

Wax center (Current Employee) - Portland, OR - June 5, 2023

This place only cares about their productivity. They claim safety is #1 but it’s really about numbers. They will cut the hours you have to do your job but still expect people to be 100% productivity or you will be puts on steps, after 3 fired! MANAGEMENT HORRIBLE!!! They talk behind your back to others, unprofessional, sneaky, only give credit to some which is very little, favoritism! The only time they actually care is when the Union wants to come in. They will forget about productivity, start treating you with respect, give out shirts or jackets and put on a BBQ. Your co-workers will complain and say they are voting for yhe union but once voting happens they end up not voting for it because they feel that they will be fired if they see you filled out a card with the Union, STOP COMPLAINING THEN…..although if they did see you wanted it they would totally be on your back!

Pros

Good pay

Cons

Management is horrible!

Fun and challenging

Production Supervisor II (Former Employee) - Clackamas, OR - May 25, 2023

Line walks were brutal. You'd better know your business or else you'd be questioned to the core about your recovery plan. With that said it's a great place to work and the crew was the part of job.

Lot of learning & great people

Finance Intern (Current Employee) - Portland, OR - April 7, 2023

There is a lot to learn about how things work and I feel mostly supported in that learning. I have great people around me that I can always ask questions and they almost always have an answer and are generally very supportive and knowledgeable. I have struggled with role ambiguity and don't always feel productive, that has been a struggle.

Relentless exploitation of employees

Engineer (Current Employee) - Niskayuna, NY - April 5, 2023

Employees aren't acknowledged or rewards fairly for work. PCC has a management style of constantly pushing more and more from the workings.Managers are told to give high performing employees low ratings to limit the salary increases given out.

Pros

There's always work to be done

Cons

Bad health care, stressful work place

PCC as a whole is a great place to work and advance.

Production Supervisor (Current Employee) - Portland, OR - April 3, 2023

I've worked here going on 9 years. I started at the bottom doing what ever I could to move up and turn my life around. They offered countless hours of overtime, and were very enthusiastic about me cross training anything I could. Everytime I found another position I thought would be interesting, management was eager to give me any info I needed and get me started in Training for that pposition.they don't hold your hand, but they definitely don't stop you from reaching as high as you can. They give you the tools to succeed and the rest is up to you. I wish I had gotten on here much earlier then I did, but im glad for the chances I've been given. I've worked from the bottom, and now am the supervisor of my own department. This isn't the end of the road either. This is just a new road I'm barely starting on. At PCC you aren't given everything, and spoiled as if you're owed the chances, but you are definitely rewarded for doing your best, and trying your hardest. It's all up to you. Your path is written and walked by you. Take it to where you'd like to go, and PCC won't stop you from trying, they'll root you on along the way.

Pros

Good benefits, 401k, lots of overtime, pleanty of skills to learn, and people from all over the world to meet and befriend.

Cons

Stress, seniority based vacations and shift bids(although it doesn't bother me, I know some people hate that)

Co workers are friendly and hard workers. Start you off with good pay

Wax Machine Operator (Current Employee) - milwaulkie, OR - April 3, 2023

Pcc use to be a good place to work for. Now the upstairs only see numbers. Push workers to go out of their comfort zone, Safety is not priority like they say. New employees come and go. Same with the managers. prepare to change shift or location every 6 months. The starting is good but will give you excuses when time for raises.

Pros

swing shift paid lunches

Cons

You have to log into everything you do including bathroom breaks.

No work, Steel shortage

Grinder/Machine Operator (Current Employee) - Jenkintown, PA - March 7, 2023

I’ve been working at the Jenkintown facility for over 25 years. I’ve noticed over the last year a lot of people walking around with clipboards.There’s a lot of waste employees”Non Production” that cuts into the profit margin of the building.The amount of work in the building is drying up, I’ve never seen it this slow in all my years. I believe most of the work has been outsourced to a plant in Brazil. Precision castparts is America last. There’s also too many bosses and production schedulers to production employees. With less work I’m still expected to hit my production target as if it was when we were busy. I use up my vacation days when there is no work.When there is no work they treat you like badly like it’s your fault. The group leaders in a lot of the departments can’t even run a machine and are strictly administrative and they make about 3 dollars more than the set-up men who keep the departments running which is very unfair, Group leaders used to run machines for at least 4 hours a shift, now they sit in air conditioned offices most of the day. It’s just not fair they make more than the Set-up men. The group leaders are just very overpaid secretaries for the managers in most of the departments

Pros

Good pay, good people, no forced overtime

Cons

Very hot in the summer, lack of work, outsourced work

Ehh

Shell Processor (Current Employee) - Clackamas, OR - March 3, 2023

Management and HR suck. Leads do whatever they want. Nothing gets done when brought up. Favoritism. Supervisors hate their job and HR is not for the employees.

Horrible culture and lack of basic human decency if reporting to VP of Finance

Trade Compliance Manager (Former Employee) - Cleveland, OH - March 2, 2023

Terrible VP of Finance doesn't treat people with respect. Not even when you are interviewing. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. If you are applying for a role in Trade Compliance avoid this place.

Pros

Competive salary

Cons

Terrible culture, poor leadership

Management on the decline

Radiographer (Former Employee) - Milwaukie, OR - February 28, 2023

Pros:Great place to work, pays well, overtime available on a voluntary basis. No union. Been working there for the last ten years, up until my recent termination. Cons:Management is up and down, with corporate hammering down on low efficient workers and setting unreasonable times to improve on working parts from other departments. Management can be toxic to employees and HR will tend to side with them because they have the metrics to prove their case, while you have no way to fight for it other than your words.

Poor Culture and lack of leadership

Safety Intern (Current Employee) - Tulsa, OK - February 21, 2023

I started as a Co-Op with an initial job offer stating I would work for 6 months. Once that time came to an end I was asked if I would stay with the company. I said yes and asked if I needed to revise any paperwork. I was told no. 9 months on the job and I still don’t accrue PTO or get holiday pay. I work at all 3 Aerostructures sites in Tulsa. 2 out of the 3 sites have high turnover rate. All in all I would not recommend PCC as a career.
