Pros

Thanks to 6+ decades of work and 3rd generation ownership, we're bigger than ever in complex structural steel and plate fabrication. I appreciate working in an atmosphere that I'm personally respected and valued for my experience and knowledge. I've been given the opportunity for both personal and professional growth. There is a strong focus on enhancing our employee experience; Merrill Steel offers a competitive wage and benefit packet, focus has been placed on reducing health care costs, offering flexible scheduling, expanding paid leave and providing strong retirement planning to name just a few. Merrill Steel is committed to supporting the community and often focuses initiatives around groups/organizations that are meaningful to employees and their families. There is continual reinvestment back into the company in both the office and shop from infrastructure to technology. Merrill Steel is simply a great place to work!

Cons

We build it BIG (literally) and with that are big demands NOT that this is a con, but the work that we do at Merrill Steel is intense, both physically and mentally challenging as well as demanding. The rewards on the other hand are even BIGGER.

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.
