Do not work here.
Overtime is unpredictable. Nepotism (there's a looot of families working here together) and favoritism are rampant. They've changed their point policy and raises a lot in the past few years; recently they decreased the amount of points you can get before you time out all while still penalizing you for an entire year with each point before they expire, and taking away quarterly raises for new hires. Sewing machines along with other equipment are outdated and constantly need to be repaired by maintenance which can take forever and force you to look for something to keep yourself busy. OSHA violations are plentiful, and the overall structure/organizational system of the factory is quite chaotic. You can expect to be pulled to another department with short notice and no explanation as to why. There's often no work to do.
I can list quite a few people who shouldn't be working there, along with quite a few people who shouldn't have been fired. The woman who runs the training center has been known to pay more attention to certain demographics than others. Night shift lead for walls does not like to be challenged and will intimidate you if you do. And there's one woman in HR (out of the measly 3 who run it) who quite frankly seems insane and it's AMAZING that they have her in HR. She's horrendous. Her family works there as well, all of whom likely also get away with doing nothing. There's more I can include, but I'll save it.
This place will only continue to decline. And I hope everyone I care for still working there leaves or retires before it crashes.
I love working as a machinist for this company. Great benifits and the management staff is very friendly. I can see myself employed at this company for a long time. And the work we do is great quality work. Sometimes hard work,lol but we do it to satisfy our customers!
I have Ben dealing with anchor sinse Rick Jinkens was my rep. In Lafayette Louisiana back in the 90s Their quality and customer support far surpasses others in the industry. Stay strong my friends. Here's a few pics of the last two I got in 2019! Proofs in the pudding. Cajunpoolboy
I loved working at Anchor. Dave, Bryan, and their whole team were all great people to have met during my stay. There is tons of room for advancement. I so desperately wanted to go for the First Responders Classes, And the Safety Classes. Hate that I didn't stick with it.
When AXIOM bought our current office in 2000, the entrance was not covered from the elements, plus the building looked plain and did not emulate our brand. We contacted our local Anchor dealer and worked with them to create a design that matched our brand, and a structure that was functional and attractive.
Our Anchor Awning is Awesome! It faces the west and is directly exposed to the extreme weather of southern Indiana. The fabric lasts about 8 to 9 years, so we are on our second set in 17 years - that is durable! And, the design really sets our facility apart on a very busy downtown street.
Satisfied? You bet!
