Micro Precision Calibration

[TDF]

This will probably get deleted again, but trust me you do not want to work for or do business with this company! The owner is nothing less than a crook! None of their standards are calibrated.  If you really want to work at a real calibration company aviod this company like the plague.  I worked for them long enough to know what goes on there and believe me, it's not real calibration.  Just ask any reputable cal company in cities where MPC divisions are located.  They undercut EVERYONE! Customers should ask themselves why MPC prices are so cheap.  You definitely get what you pay for here.

As far as working here, if you're ex-military, you might get between $19-$22 per hour with very few benefits and very few chances to promote.  If you have no military experience, you'll be lucky to get $14-$15 per hour tops.  Pay raises are very infrequent and they usually like to use the old line "we're freezing pay raises due to the economy", yet in-spite of the contradiction, they're still opening new divisions in new cities.  This company is not worth your time or aggravation.

TDF,

I'm not sure how that is plausible deniability... But, how about this, instead of bashing the company in a job thread, posting as a guest, why don't you register and start another topic in one of the other areas. 

I respect your right to your opinion, but I'm not sure the job listing is the proper area.

Actually, this is what I'm going to do...  I am going to split this thread and move it to the General Discussion area.  Any more posts in the job listing topic as a guest will be deleted.  Please continue all discussion in this thread.

Thanks.

The rant about Micro-Precision is none-the-less TRUE whether the commenter is registered or not!!

Meh,

Sounds like a pissed off employee to me.  Accusations without proof.  If I am to believe I need more than someones opinion.  I personally havent used there services but I hear this all the time about 1 company or another ESPECIALLY in the Pmel world.

If you feel so strongly and you no longer work for them and you obviously are so indignant you would of course never work for them again then why not have the GUTS to just post your true  identity instead of hiding behind the wall of an anonymous post,give some proof and back it up. I know if I attacked someone or some company so strongly in a public forum for all to see and I knew  what I said to be 100% true then I would not care who knew my real name or worry about the feelings of someone or some company for whom I truly despise.  IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT YOUR A COWARD.

And by your 1 post one could easily come to the conclusion you work for said comapny and are looking for this individual.  Instead of a witch hunt Id be looking at why my employees may think like that instead of calling people cowards.  A bit of training or information to your employees can go along way.

There is always more to the story...on both sides.

I will address your post a section at a time so as to not confuse you. 1. You point to my 1 post,I actually don't come in here a lot but I do occasionally to view things, unlike "some" others here I don't feel the need to reply or bloviate on every post. The number of posts I create is irrelevant.
2. Unlike the original poster I won't hide behind an anonymous name and e-mail and to not have you jump to wrong conclusion I do work for said Company as a Technician (non management-which is not my cup of tea). I am not on a witch hunt, as a technician I have no power to do anything to this person. They will continue to be anonymous and post here,I have no control over that. My point was to say how cowardly it is to act like a baby and whine about pay/compensation and about  employment issues here. Take them up with management and if you don't like the response-QUIT. ANYBODY SHOULD QUIT THEIR JOB IF YOU THEY ARE THAT MISERABLE. There are many companies hiring. Also I take offense to their posts as it casts aspersions on me as a tech.  I do have integrity and I am Military PMEL trained(Lowery). I don't need training I had the experience when I was hired. I have worked for other companies of which some who post here work for but I have never and never would post trash like that. I moved on as that is what MEN do. I could never say for sure who posted the rant in question but to be honest  I have my suspicions and have had them from the very first post but I keep them to myself as they are just suspicions. It amazes me how I am a tech here and make a reasonable wage but the schlepp who posted that garbage is railing about their wage,maybe they needed or need a better work ethic.

Also, I think it's fair to state that different locations of the same company may vary somewhat in their relative compliance to 17025 and/or ability to perform all the steps of a procedure. The location that TDF worked at could conceivably be as bad as he or she states while the location where Mr. Hogan is employed could be an exemplary lab. It all really depends on local management.

I concur I have worked for the same company for a number of years. I have had 4 managers each one was different. One did not care what you did the other 2 were middle of the road and the 4th guy was gung ho quality.

You are absolutely correct. The problem is the poser(oops. . . poster) said Cities,implying all are the same. As far as the branch TDF worked at he consistently says in his posts "here", of which usually people use the word here if they are still employed "here". Once again if it is so bad for this person he should quit,move on and try to achieve that elusive Holy Grail of Military/PMEL pay(from his post) which seems to so out of his grasp.

Dude,

You seem to have a lot of anger over this.  As you can see from some of my posts in the past, I too have been known to carry a grudge from time to time, but really you have taken this to a whole new level, even making sound personal.  Just let it go.  If you like the guy or dont like the guy, he is entitled to his opinion and entitled to share it in this forum, as long he is not slanderous and is only expessing his opinion.  Isn't that we all served for, so we are all free to express opinions rather than being gunned down in the street for them.

First of all I have no Anger,I basically posted that the person whom holds these views about where they work should go find employment in a place that makes them happy. I called them a COWARD for not having guts to put their name to "in your words" their OPINION. They obviously ranted about their lack of raise and in my posts I am telling it as fact that I am a technician for the company and I make a good wage and do get raises. If I have a beef with someone I bring it to them not in some anonymous post. As far as personal it really is not personal but professional as this persons "Opinion" insinuates that I Hotstamp equipment as a tech for said company which takes this far beyond opinion and is SLANDEROUS. Have a nice day
