Pros

The shop in Schfoield Wi was kind enough to give me the opertunity to learn welding and so much more! I see the poor reviews from previous employees, I was there about 7 years. I had walked out one day for a serious opiate addiction! I have no doubt that human resources would have helped me however I couldnt find the courage and had to much pride to talk to hr about it. If your the type of person who can get to work everyday on time and are not afraid to work... you will make some serious money. I made more at merrill iron in 1 week then I make now in 2 weeks! I was mostly a welder and got along well with alot of the guys. Alot of people do not understand what quality and production is! Merrill steel has very high standards. I would love another go at it, I should have known better a notice is critical to an employer and thay obviously deserve one! If you get a chance to work for this company jump on it! You will learn so much.

Cons

You are required to work every saterday when thay are busy.

Pros

The benefits are much better than most companies in the area.

Cons

It is a fab shop which means it is dirty. If you are a welder or used to working in a fab shop then it is a normal atmosphere.

Pros

Break room was nice. They had some nice celebration. Free chiropractic care and on-site clinic.

Cons

The place was dirty. In the maintenance department old parts had been sitting in the same place for years collecting inches of dust. No room to put your tools. While guys have been there a while had space where they can have their toolbox a chair to sit in and a locker and you got crammed in a corner. No Hands-On training of any of the machines while I was there. It was just thrown in and had to figure out how to operate/ fix the machines. Most of the other maintenance techs wouldn't help you or train you on anything. They had one guy that would actually show you how to do things properly and teach you how to work on things. I was eventually supposed to go to the second shift, right before I went to second shift they pulled me into the office and told me that they were going to demote me to just a regular maintenance tech. Docked my pay $3 an hour and told me that I could possibly get it back. But they still wanted me to work on electrical stuff.
