Pros

If you like being busy your job responsibilities will continue to grow as Marmon loses customers and employees and ask the survivors to do more with less...at the same salary. If you enjoy drinking 80/20 Kool-Aid this is the place for you. However you will have to develop a liking for a slight antifreeze aftertaste, because the top dogs are poisoning everything that was once good about Marmon.

Cons

Marmon is in a death spiral. Their ill-advised management strategies result in falling business levels, so they have to reduce head counts and inventories to match the decreased revenues, which causes service issues that further negatively affect business levels, which necessitates further resource cuts. Lather, rinse, repeat...right down the drain! Constantly changing guardrail-to-guardrail business strategies. Micromanagement. Cult-like management group-think because if you speak your mind, you're out. This ensures that the company doubles down on disastrous business policies, like firing customers. As the old guard management is forced to leave, all that is left are the yes-men who are only worried about their own jobs. There is no concern for the individual human beings they supervise and nobody speaks the truth. The current atmosphere is oppressive and everyone is looking over their shoulders, terrified of being handed their walking papers. Absolutely nobody in management can be trusted.

Pros

Some of the pros that I have experienced while working at Marmon/Keystone is the ability to grow within your department. They also help develop interns and entry-level positions to not only grow within the company but to grow in their careers. Another pro is that there is cross-collaboration between departments when issues arise to help prevent further issues and to help grow relationships between the departments.

Cons

The biggest and only con that I have experienced is the turnover within our leadership roles at this moment.

Pros

site management was good, just overwhelmed with huge workloads placed on them. employees at the site were good to work with. some senior management was great. others you heard their name randomly and you never saw them at a site, ever. especially sales .

Cons

sales is lagging terribly. low to no inventory most of the time. equipment goes months without even being turned on. investments to improve site conditions for employees in the warehouse seemed to take forever to get accomplished. its loud, dusty and smoky all the time. breathing in that soot is not healthy for you. site is hard to get to since its location in the city is dangerous. cranes that go right over your head with dangling loads of loose pipe is scary. pay is also very low for a company like this. we have had 4 mass layoffs in 5 years so stability isn't here. same with a rotating door of leadership. its a company that is circling the drain to a slow and eventual death.
