Pros

Nothing but great things I can say about this place, I started working for MMW when I was 16 still in high school and have been there ever since. I started out as a helper doing all the grunt work such as; cleaning machines, sweeping the floor, running errands etc. and quickly graduated into learning how to weld more proficiently than I already could. I kept my nose clean and my head down and strived to make each weld or part I was fabricating better than the last which lead me to where I am now 6 years later at age 22. I can run every machine we have including our CNC Plasma Beam Line, CNC Press Break and everything else in our shop. Mike and Jackie have great visions for this company and they both want everyone to be successful and strive to be better each day. They'll work with your personal life issues that may or may not come up & treat you fairly like a member of their family as long as you work hard. Don't be afraid to ask for help and ask any of the guys for help on something you may not know. My favorite things about the company are as follows: Room for growth Friendly atmosphere Family owned and ran Bosses cater to your personal life and care about every employees needs Everyone is open to suggestions that could better the company

Cons

Not much to complain about at all in my opinion. Mike and Jackie have a greatly laid out company. My only complaints would be: No Dental No 401K

Pros

Tons of room for growth, flexible with personal needs, good pay and benefits

Cons

Worst thing is the occasional slow periods with little to no work. However they’re willing to keep you busy on something to keep you working.

Pros

Great company culture, the owners of the company have a great vision and goal. Looking back the at 3+ years of working here we have progressed and we are becoming a force to be reckoned with in the San Diego Structural Steel industry. We now have a CNC beam line that will allow us to blow away the competition! There are plenty of opportunities to gain invaluable experience here at MMW. Personally I started in the shop painting beams and cleaning up, I kept my head down and worked hard and now I help run the estimating and manage current projects. Looking forward to what the future brings.

Cons

People who do not possess flexibility to learn new ideas and adapt to new technology will be left behind.
