What is the best part of working at the company?
There was no best part to working for them it was a nightmare from the beginning

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It was a nightmare working for this company. When we merged with them in December 2023 they said that everyone has a place there and now myself and one of my team members were let go with crazy excuses. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful and overwhelming not knowing where you stand and then bring let go and having to look for another job when I was doing my job very well was disheartening

What is the best part of working at the company?
There isn’t any they use and abuse you 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everyday they don’t take any accountability nobody takes accountability 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hot stressful and you spend half your day looking for the tools to complete a job they want done efficiently 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Laid back but stressful they act like they own you after they hire you. And you work hard knowing you’re underpaid.

Favoritism is a serious problem. They are willing to work with you on very serious family emergencies but when it comes to personal health, the individual does not matter. I have been out here throwing my guts up every five minutes but was threatened with the loss of my job or a write up if I went home to get the rest I needed. In a hot and stressful place like this, it is not recommended to work in such conditions with a sickness any more serious than a seasonal cough.

Good ol hous club. Lot of racism and drug use. Even one of the foreman who works the rack sells drugs. Lots of clicks. The foreman are lazy.  The two new ones are the only good ones. Lots of drama. A foreman assaulted an employee and they both work still work there. Lots of employees sleep in the toilets. So many lazy people. They pay awful starting out. Unless your a relative of the higher ups. Then you get whatever you want. Good luck making 9.15hr and welding and doing the same work as someone making 23hr.

American Railcar Industries is not a forward thinking company as they are stuck in the 90's, which is giving them more credit than they deserve. If they have a layoff, which they have every other year, they protect management positions by demoting them and letting everyone else go. So let's look at it this way, as a result of management bad decisions they are allowed to keep their job and the workers are let go.

I ran the furnace at ARI. I would load the tanker cars, with a 50 ton crane, on a flat bed train system and move from station to station to put them in the furnace. I would then program the furnace to cook the tanker cars. After they finished cooking I would move them to the unloading station and use a 50 ton crane to unload them and put them on the next line. The people were fun. The place was hot in the summer and cold in the winter. The hardest part of this job was the extreme temperatures. The most enjoyable part of the job was the pay.

Not a bad work environment but if management doesn’t like you, its a matter of time and your gone and they will work to get rid of you. I enjoyed working there and wasn’t ready to leave when I was terminated after 6 years of service. It’s best to remain obscure to last there for a while. They pay well and expect you to be there everyday your scheduled.
All in all not a bad experience I just wish it would’ve ended differently. Stay on all the bosses good sides.

A typical day at work consisted of 10+ hours, usually some weekend time also. The management is largely promoted from within the plant so there is good and bad. The hardest part of this job was being a change initiator, because the in house promotions kept the vision at a very local level. Great people who want to excel! The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing the plant run smoothly with production goals exceeded. Win-win!

loved working here until I didn't! My immediate manager and I had a powerful disagreement. I took the wrong way out and walked away! 
Looking back I should have gone to upper management with the problem instead of leaving the job. Other management was always available and helpful. Working for the company was rewarding. All the employees were like a family. Every one was there to make it all work together.

typical day consisted of disrespect from management.
a production number to meet daily of 10 tank cars cleared through xray.
management is very disrespectful, unwilling to help, show favortism.
ive learned to trust no one.
go in do my job and go home.
if i share a few laughs with co workers GREAT!
i really loved me job as well as my co workers
