Employee Stories

After high school, I bounced around for a while – different locations, jobs and classes, too. Eventually, I had an opportunity to work at Metro Mold & Design as a temp. After my first day, I proved myself and they were willing to give me a chance. It’s been like that ever since – every time I prove myself, I’m given additional trust and responsibility. This has led me to working in numerous positions throughout my time here, and I enjoy the variety and working with different people along the way.

And that’s another thing about working at MMD – the people. You’re not treated like a number here. Owners walk around, know your name and say “hi.” It really makes a difference when you can enjoy going to work every day and get along with everyone in the company.

MMD has invested in training for me, and I’ve been given numerous chances to continue my career growth here. I’m not sure many other companies do that. It’s been a really great fit for me since Day 1.

I am proud to say I started as a temp. I got to see how things worked around here from the ground up, and now I get to have a voice about how to make changes around here and make things better. It all started by just working hard and showing a willingness to learn and be held accountable. My bosses have been great, recognized my potential and helped put me on a path to continue growing in my career.

That goes for training, too. The company has paid for me to get trained and certified so that I can continue to offer more to the company while gaining more responsibility and trust. I love that the CEO of the company knows who I am, I know everyone at the company, and we all work together to continually contribute to our success. I can’t believe I’ve ended up in this role after just three years, especially when I had no idea what to expect. It turned out to be a great move to apply at MMD.
