Would probably still be here if company hadn't been taken over by a Venture capital group and decided to close plant and relocate manufacturing to various parts of Europe purely based on profit margin.Benefits good but could have been better considering the size of the company.Management just treading water.Used to be a good place to work many years ago.

An interesting business with a lot of potential.

Production Supervisor (Antiguo empleado) - Roxboro, NC - 31 enero 2022

This was my first and only soiree into the automotive manufacturing realm. It was a fast paced and interesting place to work. Staffing was a consistent issue as this place had a remarkable turn over rate.

Bloody minded and selfish

Operator (Empleado actual) - Western Approach - 15 septiembre 2021

Spent 11 years here which was my 2nd stint with them. The senior management collaborate with each other whilst trying to promote a good place to work. This is true your own opinion doesn't count unless it fits in with the managements.They pressure workers to return to work after accidents as to keep health and safety low. The lack of training or chances of promotion are implemented unless you know the management outside of the work place.Canteen facilities are basic. Operator are told to make the process easier even though there are teams for this. When problems occur the management micro manager or if it can be fixed without traceability it is.Wouldn't recommend working for the company as there's better employer's in the area

Ventajas

None

Desventajas

Constantly changing shifts, management pressure, plus many more

Depressing, everyone lies, watch your back

Metallurgical Technician (Antiguo empleado) - Gallipolis, OH - 7 septiembre 2021

Worst place I’ve ever worked. Left a stable job to make more money because they promise the world. There is no training they tell you to sink or swim at there company. They have no policy book I asked for it 3 times from Human Resources. I left after 3 months. Worst mistake of my life.

Industrial Maintenance Technician (Antiguo empleado) - Gallatin, TN - 6 septiembre 2021

Support Staff (Antiguo empleado) - Orangeburg, SC - 16 agosto 2021

Terrible Management

Bonding Mechanic (Empleado actual) - St. Louis, MO - 13 agosto 2021

Management needs an overhaul from the top down. Everyone there finger points, blames the union, makes excuses. Cannot get parts on time, cannot get issues fixed quickly, tool shortages, single point of failure all over. And they do not care about you as an employee or anything going on in your life. Expect to work every weekend all year.

Ventajas

You can make a ton of money in Overtime

Desventajas

Work/Life Balance is non-existent, hope you don't have a family.

Job with hours /

Just another body (Antiguo empleado) - Estherville, IA - 2 agosto 2021

It’s a job If you need hours. Don’t expect any saturdays off. If they could keep a person working 24/7 they would. Don’t ask for flexibility in hours , you will get fired.

Ventajas

If it’s sweltering out you get a free popsicle and free water

Desventajas

Long hours, expected to work just about every Saturday for months on end, sometimes sundays as well

Low pay, poor management.

Bonding Technician (Antiguo empleado) - Cromwell, CT - 16 julio 2021

If you want to be underpaid and see people who do nothing get advancement this is the place for you. HR is ran by children. Not even capable of setting up 401ks or benefits. There is no clarity on who actually runs things. Production is slow, you can go weeks doing nothing sitting down.

Ventajas

Shift times are decent.

Desventajas

Poor management, wages, benefits

Overwhelming, Stressful, Never enough

Production Worker (Antiguo empleado) - Orangeburg, SC - 8 julio 2021

Ventajas

I had a job

Desventajas

Healthcare stinks, Sucking up may help you here
