Ambu

Ambu is under new ownership and management. It is a decent place to work Right now i don't know what direction the company is going and i am bothered by that lack of knowledge. What once was a team environment seemed to be just the opposite. A typical day for me consist of special projects that my Previous supervisor and I came up with. I now have a new supervisor who seem to be really knowledgeable as to what really need to be done and the direction we should be going in as a team. There was nothing really hard about the job other than getting my coworkers motivated to take our duties to another level. I came in and moved up very quickly which caused problems with my coworkers whom had been on the job 6 to 10 years. The best part about my job was meeting with my previous supervisor and her and Coming up with challenges for me

Typical day at work here at Ambu is always fast paced & busy. 
 I have learned how to multi task at a high level. 
Management here at Ambu is very laid back, they do not have to question your work if you know what it is you need to accomplish on a daily basis & do it deligently which I believe I was able to because I was never questioned about why my job was not done.
Co-workers are also laid back & everyone does their job here.  There was always team work.
Being forced to leave here as of Aug 9th due to major aquisition between Ambu & King Systems.  Accounting Dept is moving to Indiana,
Most enjoyable part of the job was that I believe I knew my job & my customer wants & needs when they needed them even having to ask me for them. 

A typical day would be generally challenging with new issues to be solved and people to deal with. I have learned from ground up, from understanding operators needs in terms of language translation in documentations (living in a multi lingual country). My career then proceeded with an upgrade to be a process engineer, where i was in charged of process improvements. This then pursued with a cooperation with R&D division which was being developed for expansion. Here i was in a R&D-Process Engineer role, where i was helping to liaise with suppliers to develop a new R&D laboratory and also with NPI and product transfers.

When I first started with this company I really liked the company and the work I was doing.  I was promoted to leadership after 4 months of starting with a staffing agency.  The company has changed hands once since I've been there and twice in its history.  Management has changed hands 3 times since I have been there.  They have already sent almost half of the molding shop to china and it looks like about half of production will go overseas this year.  The future is not looking bright for the people that work there.

A typical Day at work was working with others trying to make sure to make the parts correctly as well as hit the numbers that were required. I learned that it can be hard to work in a collaborative work environment if others don't pull their weight. Most people don't always agree with management but usually they try to keep everyone in the loop of what goes on in the company. The hardest part of the job is the short breaks but they are easy to get used to. The most enjoyable part of the job is how easy it is.

Going into work ,applying myself to the typical work day and keeping myself available and  resourceful to all and actions needed. I learned teamwork and communication skills to make the workday more successful and profitable to the work environment. My co workers and I function as a team when need. Staying on work schedules when other don't apply themselves. Feeling accomplished at the end of the work day when knowing your hard work was appreciated.

What is the best part of working at the company?
One of the worst company’s I’ve worked for. You’re just a number and upper Managment is absolutely clueless 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Knowing they will chop your legs out from underneath you at any moment. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s not a one that builds confidence or encourages success. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day is doing admin. Trying to allocate product for your accounts because everything is made in China.

My experience was as a Dip Line Adanced Operator. Before I left there, we had 3 other employees in my area who could no longer work in the area because of hand injuries that prevented them from pulling the bags from the forms. These are life-long injuries. Many of the others in the area felt the same problems developing. I was fortunate to get out of the job before I suffered the same, and sometimes I feel I may have some permanent damage still. The company did the minimum to improve conditions.

Based on this company overall assemblers get  low wage and focused on high volume with little innovation.Started working 3rd shift and the training was quite confusing.The environment here is very causal but not for everyone. Overall the work is quite simple after training and the hours are constant. BE AWARE THIS JOB HAS UPPER MOBILITY IN 5 YEARS! The company doesn't know how to grow and cannot due to negative management. Take the job if you must and get out when you can!!!!!

Ambu is fast paced, they pay good money, and great benefits are available. Breaks are short which is understandable as many employees break in shifts so that there are operators always running the machinery. However at the time I left, lunch break was 30 minutes. If you are willing to get to know your co-workers there are a lot of good people working there. My supervisor was always fair and good to me. Mandatory overtime happens so if you are looking for extra money this is the place to be.
