Pros
Great talent and even better people. The shop floor is run by hardworking folks who treat you like family.
Cons
Formerly Wauseon Machine, currently Steelcrest Precision: Personally, gave a few years of loyal 110% service to this shop before new management arrived and wrecked it. These are not decent people. Despite never having swept a floor, deburred a part, or touched CNC coolant, they believe they know how to run a job shop. In this industry, an MBA is worthless if you don’t understand the trade, and their incompetence has tanked a once-great business. With talented machinists gone and customers fleeing, they boast about an ‘open-door policy.’ Don’t be fooled: they’ll greet you with a smile one day and fire you the next to protect themselves. To make matters worse, the family-owned capital company that owns this machine shop venture are untrustworthy.
