Really Toxic - Production Worker Central Valley Machine Employee Review

Great company with strong leadership and a clear vision for the future. Management genuinely cares about employees and gives people the autonomy to do their jobs well. The culture is collaborative, fast-paced, and results-driven without being toxic. Communication is solid, expectations are clear, and good work is recognized. Opportunities for growth and learning are real if you’re willing to step up and take ownership.

Like any growing company, things can move quickly and priorities can shift, which isn’t ideal for someone who prefers a slow or highly structured environment.

Some nice people to work with, and if you negotiate, you may be able to get paid upwards of 18/hr. Steadyish work for steady pay. Quite a flexible time-off system as well. Decent benefits.

As mentioned by others, there is extreme nepotism, which you can either work against or with. If you know someone there or get friendly with certain people, you can expect to move up. Otherwise you won't get anywhere, as almost everyone in upper management is either related or knows the family. Most of the bosses are related to the CEO, so if you get on their bad side, you're essentially in limbo. They also expect you to not discuss your pay with others, which is an illegal requirement. This is likely because all the assistants are paid as low as possible and most are on different hourly rates. The Project Managers, meanwhile, earn around $100K. Your experience depends heavily on which boss you get.
