One of the best aspects of working at Means is the quality of my coworkers.  My colleagues help to create a work environment that is enjoyable to be a part of and a culture that fosters new and innovative ways to approach work. It has been fulfilling to be part of a team that wants to see you succeed both professionally and personally.   It is also stimulating to work for a company that is not out sized but still continually growing.  This creates the potential for employees to gain a diversity of work experiences within a single company.  Means Industries is a great place to work!

Means developed an on-boarding program that was very helpful for me in learning the different products that are made and how they function. We also had the opportunity to tour different plants and meet new people. The people have been great to work with, are experienced and knowledgeable about the products. It is an exciting time with new programs and processes in the plant I am working. I look forward to the many opportunities and challenges ahead.

Means attracted me with the vision of the company that management expressed. I was also blown away by the extremely positive company culture. From the moment I entered the facility for the first time, I was taken aback by the difference between Means and other automotive facilities. I really admire the fact that Means Management stresses employee development, and in turn employees are trained very well. Another thing I really like is that most promotions occur from within. Feeling valued and important by my company makes me look forward to coming into work every day.

Senior Product Applications Engineer

I first joined the team at Means Industries as a summer intern.  As an intern, I saw some excellent career opportunities as I was rotated through the different Means facilities and job requirements.  I was intrigued by the friendly, team oriented, atmosphere.  Once I completed my degree in mechanical engineering, I was offered the opportunity to start my career as a product applications engineer in propulsion systems. Over the last 2 years I have learned a lot about our product, and have gained valuable experience in the automotive industry. Looking back at some of the other career opportunities I could have taken, I truly believe that Means was the right decision for the start of my career.

Having been employed with Means for over eight years now, I was extremely impressed with all the teamwork at Means. No matter who you ask for assistance and no matter how busy they are, employees at Means are more than willing to drop whatever they are doing to assist you. Knowledge sharing is a huge asset when you are new to the company, and people here are more than willing to help you. As a Cost Accounting Manager, my days are filled with interaction with Manufacturing, Sales, Purchasing, and Accounts Payable employees. This interaction allows us all to have a better overall understanding of our business. Overall, my experience here at Means has been positive and beneficial.
