Miserable & completely toxic work environment. Nothing is the fault of management purely from oneself failing to perform - Recensione dipendente - Purchasing presso Relco Locomotives

* RELCO is a small enough company that individual contributions and suggestions *CAN* make a difference. * While the work is challenging, the wages are fair. * Your co-workers are nice people to work beside each day. * You can listen to the radio and smoke in the shop. * They have very good health care benefits, they make contributions to your health care premiums. * The work is rewarding to see locomotives roll out of the shop looking like new and knowing you had a part in it. * Senior employees work hard to train newer employees.

* The eye care insurance needs more options in Iowa and better coverage. * The shop can be hot in the summer and cold in the winter; due to the doors opening and closing to allow locomotives in and out.

Excellent facility in Albia, Iowa with some very good skilled employees (if they are still there). Good place to learn about railroad industry and locomotives.

Perfect for railfans.

Management is very bad, the two brothers running the place are trying to suck the place dry for their personal benefits. Company has trouble paying vendors, suppliers and sometimes even employees. Google all the lawsuits against the company.
