A Terrible Place to be an Engineer - Product Engineer RMB Products Employee Review

I've been at RMB Products for about 5 years and it's great to see the transformation the company has gone through in the past two years. The culture is constantly improving and management has done a great job creating a "team" and making sure everybody is works towards the same goals. The company tries to promote from within and works to develop their employees, helping them reach their goals. Training is always provided when needed. All 4 of the current production supervisors as well as the production manager were promoted from within the company.

Location - I live in Colorado Springs and it takes about 25 minutes for me to get to work.

RMB has everything it needs to be a great manufacturing company. There's a lot of expert knowledge and internal resources available. Many of the veteran employees are both experienced and willing to put in a lot of effort to make things work.

Management and sales constantly get the company in over their heads and the team on the manufacturing floor is often the first to pay the price. Long hours and difficult targets are made even harder when many groups are understaffed. This overpromising also leads to things like maintenance schedules slipping frequently, as machines are never given enough downtime for a proper maintenance routine.
