AMARR COMPANY

What is the best part of working at the company?
Weekends off that's it. No teamwork poor communication ,disrespectful supervisor,over worked underpaid.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with rude irrate customers. Short staffed to many damages product. Contract workers pick up doors damage doors as they need install. Put damaged door blame on warehouse associate to be granted a free door, rarely return damaged door. They were supposed to sign off on product to protect employee from false claims, which they stopped doing leaving warehouse associate out to dry with no way of proving the product you loaded wasn't damaged before the customer leaves. Not a good company to work for from my experience. Trucks never arrive on time to unload and they be 30,000 pounds of product to manual unload and put doors up in warehouse

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was ok when people showed up to work. I was there five yrs. A co worker was with that company over 15 yrs. And up and quite because of poor management and work conditions. My boss quite after 12 yrs because of poor communication between him and corporate. Now if they departed the company and refused to come after asked and offered more money I would say not a good company to work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Unorganized and hectic. Long days alot of replemishing. Short staffed. Conflict with customers because there upset what they ordered haven't arrived after being told it would be in house on a certain day.

My experience was relatively decent compared to others, considering I was in good standing with coworkers and management and my work was decent. I'd wager that this combination earned me a good chance of working up in the company... if not for the fact that before I could complete my 10 weeks (which would have switched me from a temp-worker to an employee) several temps including myself were laid off.

For others, this was not the case, and not liking your manager/your manager not liking you (as said by many) was the greatest bottleneck to your job and any advancement/raise possibilities.
I'm by no means a large or strong man, but I spent nearly everyday lifting torsion bars, many of which in bundles of 80-110 pounds.
Over a number of weeks, this started to feel terrible on my wrists and back. This is to say to anybody reading this: be concerned about where they stick you in the long term.

The culture is a bit hit and miss--there is a decent portion of friendly people there, though many people also complain about working there on a daily basis. I don't particularly blame them; it can be demanding, stressful work. This mentality across people who have been there for months/years is something to be mindful of however.

Working for Amarr, under ideal circumstances, is fine. If anything goes wrong, however, and it often does, the management's immediate response is mandatory overtime. We weren't informed about extra hours we would be required to work until the end of the previous shift, making it impossible to plan around, and overtime was so common that I assumed my shifts would be 10 hours even when things were running smoothly. Things frequently go wrong at Amarr, though, and management's immediate response is 12 hours shifts and working the weekends. I ended up leaving the job after having been forced to work 76+ hour weeks back to back for two months without a single day off. This is completely unmanageable, and takes a toll on the body and mind even if the work isn't normally taxing. I would advise anyone with any alternatives to stay far away from Amarr.

The work is very labor intensive. It’s physically demanding, definitely not for those who aren’t used to grunt work. If you work there long enough, you will definitely get physically stronger. But if you’re not careful, you can seriously injure yourself. Safety is not a high priority as there were four of us on modified duties @ the same time due to various injuries. The GM @ the Rancho Cucamonga facility is THE WORST manager I have EVER worked for. During my tenure, there was obvious favoritism as he would hold some of us accountable for the most menial errors while others were given much more leeway. My training was very minimal, but I was held accountable as if I was trained thoroughly. Overall, the morale was very low due to the poor leadership of the GM. I’m glad I left! I feel bad for the associates who are still there.

There are days you feel like there is too much on your plate and not enough time to get it all done, but the company is moving in a positive direction.  The people there are great, management is being held to a higher standard in regards to leading with respect, and my co-workers were a major part of why I stayed so long.  The hardest part of the job is the hours needed to do some of the work, and sometimes it takes going through a lot of red tape to get certain things accomplished.  In all I loved working there for all these years even though I had some great times and some bad experiences it all balances out to be a good place to work and it's getting better.

If  you are looking to work somewhere that's poorly managed with no work life balance Amarr is the place. Expect to work seven days a week and go months without a day off with extreme physical labor no chance for your body to ever rest or recover. The company is very poorly managed and always over capacity. The compensation for the hours and labor expected out of employees in not adequate. Very high turnover rate for employees and supervisors basically because you have no life outside of Amarr. Worked as a supervisor there and in my 19 years working in the manufacturing industry poorest managed company I have ever seen. Seriously like working in a overseas sweat shop. Only work here if you are desperate for money or a in between job because you will have zero life outside of work period.

There is very little training provided and management has way too high of expectations from the maintenance crew and equipment to keep down time to a minimum. The production people are constantly
quitting or being replaced with people that don't know how to run the equipment so productivity is low. Human resources has a hire and fire policy so that very few experienced people work there and it ruins morale. The people in the maintenance department that have a secure job there would probably not have the experience or skill to work anywhere else so there is a very "insider and outsider" feeling to the department. Basically everybody in maintenance has to answer to every high school drop out and ex-con that Human Resources hires on the floor because "they are our customer" and that makes for a very long day.

I've worked for many companies and I can tell you that this place was BY FAR the worst company I've ever worked for. They don't give you raises, the benefits cover nothing, management is a complete and utter joke. Nothing about this company is good. Even the HR manager said the company moto is "Everyone is replaceable". If that doesn't speak volumes for a company I don't know what would. While working there my wife gave birth to our first child and had to have a C section. I called the day my son was born to say I will need 1 extra day off (only took 3 days off). When I came in I had a write up for missing a day..... I worked there for 6 months prior to this and never missed a day or even came to work late. So if you work in production, materials, or dock loading you know how the company is. You can't listen to reviews by the desk jockies at the company

Amarr is a decent company to work for . If you’re a young person 40 years and younger , yours should be able to handle the daily work load. The older you are the daily activities of lifting heavy garage doors does start to take a toll on your body especially during the hot summer days of the South . You definitely have to take care of your self that includes drinking a lot of fluids and getting as much rest as possible within your 12 hour break ( off time at home ) Sometimes You get to build good relationships with the clients and for the most coworkers tend to be good people to work with or at least at the Door center that I work at.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Worse place to work supervisor treat you with no respect they expect you to be farmed out to other areas cause they dont have enough help so they expect you to do your job plus someone elses. And when you tell them they threatened you with being fired.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of ppl, so they move you around to different departments because they double work u which is in there word farming you out. They dont have balanced hrs drug use is out of hand .

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful some coworkers are cool 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
When you get to actually do your job good.
