ABC Technologies

If you’re in the Tech 1 building, their processes and management is much better structured. The Tech 2 building is a disaster! It’s a lot of backstabbing and people throwing other  people under the bus. It’s drama all over the place. Nobody wants to work and are lazy. You’re forced into working weekends or they’ll point you. Their equipment doesn’t work most of the time and the company is too cheap to actually have it fixed so the production goal is rarely achieved, hence why you get forced into weekends. For a company that’s been around for a little while now, they can’t even keep something as simple as inventory under control. Upper management is god awful. None of them actually know what they’re doing and they take their incompetencies out on the people who are trying to drive their direction and make it their fault. If you’re a good employee, upper management will push you and put more work loads on you and will hold you accountable for what doesn’t get completed while the lazy employees do nothing and fly under the radar with no accountability whatsoever. All absences, regardless of the reason, are unexcused and they will point you. If you or your kids are sick and you can’t come in, they will point you, even if you have a doctors note. I truly don’t see this division of ABC being around much longer. Don’t waste your time with this place if you’re in Tech 2. 

The management there is god awful.
They do not care about you or your family.
Low end on pay scale.
They literally do not know what they are doing. The production schedule was figured out on the go. Emergency mold changes were super common. There are more engineers there than actual workers. The people running the place have no experience doing anything similar. Your consistently asked to do things beyond your job requirements. If you do, than you can be judged on those things. Even though your helping the company. If you dont, then oh well.
People who work harder are punished, while people who do less are dismissed.
If you make too much during down times your a target.
If you are not on day shift, you are the go to problem.
They are extremely unethical.
They drug test constantly. Passed everything, but to be taking one every week is frustrating.
Your ideas mean nothing.
If you get unpaid breaks and they need you, you are expected to work when your not paid.
The worse attitude you have, the more untouchable you are.
The more you help them, the easier you are to get rid of.
If they need you your untouchable until they replace you.
They LIE to their customer, GM. 
There is no structure.
There is multiple random shutdown periods with no pay. If they are ahead they will shut down and give you a week of unpaid work. 
Horrible attendance policy.
Extreme indifference to off shifts.

I have learned we the ones working are not important! BUT  the Managers and all those on Salary are.. while we the employees do the work, working 7 days a week, every week (because it's mandatory) 8-12 hrs a day. Most of the ones that are Salary don't even show up on the weekends. They are at home with their families..while we have to work, or be pointed for it. When you are hired, they tell you 8 hours a day Monday-Friday..and maybe occasionally a Saturday..but once you go in it's changed without any thought of any plans you may have made with your family. In other words..when you work at ABC say goodbye to the real family you are working for, you will not be allowed to plan anything with them on the weekends..ever.  Everyone is not your friend...remember that. The less you tell a coworker the better, because they will backstab you in a heartbeat..and also remember you're looking for a job, not a job to OWN you.

Abc has a lot of issues. You are either working extreme overtime or laid off, there is no in between.  The company has gotten away from most methods of appreciation like the Christmas or yearly bonus, its always struggling with quality and financial issues so you are always told the company is struggling so why would you expect anything like that. The management is contiously rude or degrading and the human resources are always covering up for anything they do or say.  You will be penalized for the tiniest slight while everything they say and do is excused. They promote and bend over backwards for people that just start there and people that hardly show up for work  while long term employees are skipped over and used for back up positions. 

Well on a Daily basis you clock in go to your designated station or workplace. Work for about two and a half hours and get your first 15 min break, which is paid for. Come back in and work for about three more hours before your lunch break which is not paid for you must clock out. Return back to your station for the last three hours. Maybe an hour or so before its time to clock out they will give you your last 15 min break. they also have a lot of volunteer overtime so you can work up to sixty hours a week!! I learned how to almost run every line they have I showed ABC that even though I joked around a lot, i could perform any task they threw my way. All things are possible, if you have enough self-confidence  and perseverance its possible to get through the stress that some of the machines can bring.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You can trauma bond with your colleagues.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Long term solutions are never implemented, so everyone from operators up to vice presidents are consistently in fire-fighting mode. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The toxic environment and culture is created and sustained by management's poor attitude. Seemingly no one enjoys working here and everyone is stressed at all times which shows through the short tempers of everyone from operators to upper management.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day will consist of a new emergency to fire fight. It is common to see an employee cry because they've been yelled at by their superiors.

This is a really awesome place to work... If you want to spend 7 days a week here. When first starting you get a vest to show you're new and need a trainer with you. You work the hours you applied for and everything is great!! But once you leave the vest you're scheduled to work 12 hour shifts for 4 days and a normal shift for the 5th day plus almost always Saturday and Sunday. And breaks are terrible!!  Especially when working 12 hour days. So I say beware if you have a life outside of this place because you'll never have off!!! And you point out so quickly if you miss your mandatory overtime. Hope this has been a helpful review.

Typical workday was full and impactful.  Supported four executives so there was never a dull moment. Frequent, last-minute inquiries and/or changes, kept it exciting and challenging.  Variety of tasks kept it exciting, i.e., travel arranging, expense report prep, calendar management, scheduling of meetings, presentation prep, prompt communication of changes.  Hardest part of job was consistent, yet needed interruptions.  The most enjoyable was being recognized and verbally communicated that I was doing a great job.  Often called a "Rock Star" which I was never called with previous jobs and left me with a great feeling that I people thought as such.

The manager,, a woman called me for a material handler position. And yes I have warehouse experience but not forklift experience simply bc I am 5 feet tall and the men normally did it at my old job. She treated me like I was completely unqualified and asked me “if I didn’t have the experience she was looking for why apply? Like okay if you knew I didn’t have the experience you wanted why did you call? Just seemed super unprofessional and degrading. People get new jobs to learn new skills I don’t think her attitude or condescending tone was necessary. If anyone knows the woman I’m talking about, she has an accent and her phone number was from Canada, I think she should be fired she has horrible people skills and I wouldn’t want someone like that working for my company it’s honestly embarrassing.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some good coworkers that are hard working and care about the company. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It’s a pressure cooker. They expect you to live there and have unreasonable demands

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They say they care about the people but it’s a revolving door because they mistreat you.  They scream and humiliate people.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Total chaos with over demands and shortage of people and their solution is work more hours. 60 plus hours a week is more than enough to give a company. Especially when it is never enough
