Aisin

Work was non-existent but relaxed until you find out management dropped the ball.
i learned what working for a LLC means. i learned how to work for less than my value as an engineer feels like.

i learned i should have worked as a team member to make more money than people with degrees.

hardest part of job was dealing with nonsense and laxadasical approach in assuring quality of products.

most enjoyable part of job.. clocking out and looking at paycheck and telling yourself i have to do better.

co-workers: well.. mixed feelings. you will be dealing southern illinoisians, not a bad thing but country folk are different than metropolitans.
there are some not so good to work with people. office discussions about politics, and how & where you were raised are often. very childish environment.

management: a few managers are really great to work with. plant management is not so great..

job security: its pretty solid but dont expect to move up until "you've been there for ten years." who wants to work underpaid for that long and watch new employees come in and make more despite the level of experience.

compensation: this place is a get in get out employer. use it as a stepping stone and revolving door. it does not make sense how a engineer with master's degree makes 50k/yr.

if you have a degree, and work here i suggest you work as an hourly employee. this facility does not value education. they succeed thru try and fail efforts.

Aisin was a great manufacturing company , Ive met a lot of people at that company who were very skilled and had lots of potential. What I brought to the workplace was confidence leadership , and an outgoing character. I keep a positive mind set at all times , as a leader I have to be attentative to others concerns and ive got a lot of good reviews on being good honest counselor , Aisin made me feel at home those long hours were nothing but a breeze, when everything worked smoothly. I love it when we hit production makes me always to be productive , setting new goals , made me pay attention to no time.I also was impressed with the safety procedures we took in caution when we maintained a positive mind set and we where focus and cooperated as a team their seemed to be no safety issues  that just goes to show how much we can achieve , when we fully operate as a group ready for business and loving our JOB.
Aisiin was a great experience for me , but unfortunately I had to relocate do to school  , but I can Thank Aisin still to this day because if it wasn't for their hospitality and great knowledge,I wouldn't have had the chance to further my education.
Big Thanks to Aisin.

I had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend this to others. From the very beginning, the process felt smooth, professional, and welcoming. Communication was clear and consistent, which made everything easy to follow and stress-free. The staff showed genuine care and attention to detail, and it never felt rushed or impersonal. What stood out most to me was the balance between efficiency and friendliness—things were handled quickly, but with patience and kindness. The overall quality exceeded my expectations, and I truly felt valued as a customer. It’s rare these days to find a place where people take pride in what they do, but that really shines through here. I left feeling both impressed and grateful, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return again in the future. If you’re considering giving it a try, I can confidently say you’ll be glad you did.


Middle management is actually pretty decent.

Being a Japanese company there is a little bit of culture clash. They really think their way is the only way. They dont like seeing american tools and parts in the plant. So lead time to get what we need from Japan is long.
They barely pay enough. Don't get me wrong I actually like working there. But the cost of living has exploded over the past two or three years and the wages are barely sufficient to cover the bills. 

Their rate of turnover is extremely high, especially on the production line.

However if you don't have small children at home and your wife is able to work then this is an excellent opportunity to learn about a cool industry.

At Aisin manufacturing you learn to be on your feet for more then 8 hours a day sometimes 12 and away from your loved ones more then what you want but always be prepared for over time and then some there's tons of changes that are made almost every day sometimes in one night and you will always learn something new. 3rd shift is awesome one of the best shifts for those with families. My management was one of the best. Always Have good work ethic and ignore the drama because at the end of the day your team members aren't giving you a pay check. Aisin has the best benefits with great pricing for families. I hope to one day soon come back and work at AMI overall good place to work at.

Its a really great place to work if you aren't a parent, because you spend most of your time there, the pay is amazing though, you will just be very tired from work. Pretty sure it's still 12 hr shifts it's hard to manage a life with kids and work this job especiallyof you dont have a villiage at home to help with your kids , but the benefits of this job is amazing so is their pay. Talk about making the $$ 

I would shadow the manufacturer, then i'd make the sample pieces. my supervisor would then tell me to sweep, dust and clean sometimes even mop.my favorite part would be having to go to shipping/ receiving to help the manager do inventory.  towards the 10th hour of my shift I would then check little parts to find any broken or missing parts on it.
