Cons

My family member worked at this company for a while, and I have to say, the experience was disappointing. It was clear that professionalism wasn't a priority for them. For starters, management and HR employee Erin do not know Texas TWC rules or they do not care. When a former employee has to tell management and Human Resources that they are supposed to issue your last check within 6 business days of termination, after being told you could pick it up the next scheduled payday, there is a problem. When the call finally came that a paycheck was ready, you might go to the office expecting your last check, but you get a direct deposit pay stub instead of a live check. They could easily have mailed that, however, a call was received that a "check" was ready. By the way, direct deposit came on Thursday normally, so they couldn't care less about TWC compliance as the next day was the regular scheduled payday. As for wages, the cheaper you are, you will definitely be hired. You will be promised multiple amounts at each promotion and never receive the wage they said they would give in 30, 60 or 90 days after promotion. They do not pay fairly for the work being done. They promise one thing but rarely deliver. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a professional work environment or fair pay. Not to mention management yelling at other management about how they are specific derogatory words unable to be said and remain professional and threatening them. But others are terminated for "attitude and production." Curious about those production numbers now? Just for information, I am head of HR and Accounting and work for a welder/fabrication and oil and gas company. I have worked in HR and Accounting for 27 years in multiple fields. Restaurants, Towing, Oil and Gas, Fabrication and at a University with grants and contracts. It is disappointing knowing this corporation treats employees and management as they do. They do not care about anything but money in their pockets. It explains why they have such a high turnover rate with how little employees are valued.

Pros

Open door policy with everyone. I didn't see or hear of anyone with any ego problems. Even though lots of women there, they all seemed to be respectful of one another.

Cons

The only one I saw was that most departments had mandatory overtime. The warehouse staff had been working 6 to 7 days a week for months- mind you they are hourly and are getting paid and they were happy for the money. Some in logistics were also working Saturdays.

Pros

If I can find any, is that it’s a job...and they hire felons so if you fall into that category then I guess it’s a pro

Cons

Probably the worst staff that I have ever worked for! You get no sick days. They don’t care if you have many years of welding experience or not because the supervisors there don’t know what they are doing / talking about on projects or much knowledge of anything really. It’s NEVER steady work... supervisors pick and choose their buddies that they went to prison with to be shift leaders and majority of them smoke weed in the front of the parking lot. The pay is laughable, you get no sick leave, no vacation time and not to mention that the company has several casualties over the past few years...Madden Bolt is MISMANAGED, UNSAFE, LOW PAYING & A JOKE!
