Pros

Friendly supportive co-workers, a focus on technology that's bringing highly skilled and rewarding manufacturing jobs to Elmhurst, IL. Val-Matic has a Wall of Fame (so to speak) in their training room, pictures of the many 25+ year employees, it speaks volumes to the low attrician rate of this 50 year old employee owned company. Senior management is experienced, competent and respected.

Cons

Traffic, but most people with longer commutes are able to flex their work hours, it helps.

Pros

Decent hours, decent pay, some good people

Cons

Upper manangement changed. The company seems very disorganized since then. New CEO believes whole heartedly in college degrees. Some great people who have worked there 20+ years were passed by on promotions only because no degree. Instead outside people were brought in and these people have no idea what they're doing and everything is a big mess right now.

CEO: Thank you for the comment. The Company is reorganizing as we experience growing pains and install new CNC machines to comply with the requirements to reshore our manufacturing processes. To build our ranks with future leaders we have begun a formal career planning program in 2018 for all employees including outside training, special assignments, and doubling the tuition reimbursement for college studies in 2018. We believe that employees with all backgrounds when provided with good training and support can succeed at Val-Matic.
