Pros

decent vacation and time off policy company is growing

Cons

As with many companies that started small, there are many whole families that work at Fort Wayne Metals. Nepotism was a constant problem when I worked there, and hiring was far from diverse. The best talent would often be easily headhunted by other companies, as salaries are low at FWM for the region, and parental leave policies are not up to par for companies on the forefront of recruiting.

Pros

Fort Wayne Metals exists to save lives. It was a great motivator to come to work each day with such a strong mission. The owners provided the tools necessary to do my job and trusted me that if I said I needed something, I really needed it. Pay was good.

Cons

The company has experienced tremendous growth in the last several years. The mission may be weakening as more and more people are added.

It’s wonderful to know you had a great experience working at Fort Wayne Metals. We make every effort to build that connection between the work we do (manufacturing precision wire for the medical industry) and its resulting impact in the local community and world at large (saving lives). You felt and lived out that mission by the work you did here, and for that, we’re grateful. Fort Wayne Metals is a place where people are given the tools to keep up with the growing changes that come with our demanding industry, whether that’s supplies, technology, ongoing education or a variety of benefits. We know when our employees have what they need to be successful, the entire organization is successful. A sure sign of any organization’s success is the ability to add new employees. It’s nothing new at Fort Wayne Metals: We’ve grown from nearly 450 employees 10 years ago to more than 1,100 today. Such rapid growth does come with its challenges, but our family-owned organization continues to embrace our core values like “our people are the source of our strength” as well as a strong commitment to preserving a culture which has made us an Employer of Choice.

Pros

Great company. Good people to work with. Good opportunity for advancement. Pays for schools and pay is reasonable. Benefits are great! Nearly free health and dental insurance.

Cons

I have very few issues with this place. It can be difficult to implement new technology, even though we consider ourselves a technological company. I always found that odd.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. While we consistently explore opportunities to become more efficient and innovative, we would agree with anyone who might suggest that the implementation of new technologies can be an arduous task. We would also agree with your assessment of the good people who work for Fort Wayne Metals. We work hard to preserve our unique culture, and remain mindful of our guiding principle which states “our people are the source of our strength.”
