Entry Level Machinist - Machinist Davis Tool Employee Review

- Variety of projects to work and gain experience on - Input on product selection, process and policy - Choice of Mac, PC or Linux for working environment.

- Due to being a 24/6 business, maintenance and upgrades often has to occur on weekends.

The company has about 200 employees acrow 24/7 shifts. About 50 office positions and the rest are machinists, welders, etc. The company is great if you like your autonomy and you don't need constant supervision. If you are proactive and resourceful and keep on top of your workload, you will do great. That being said, I noticed there tends to be somewhat high staff turnaround in some departments, but from my observation, it seems to be mainly people who need constant supervision and hand holding and don't seem to ever break out on their own. The company seems very LGBT friendly, specially in IT, but I know of a number of people in other departments and have not encountered bigotry or issues like that.

The company has a very niche customer base, and that can cause sudden staffing increases or decreases.
