Arvin Sango, Inc

Arvin Sango is a great place to work.  Work...not get paid to do nothing.  I'm a woman and I have done jobs that made grown men run out crying.  Some jobs are easier than others,  but it's WORK! We are asked before being hired how you feel about overtime,  we are not misled  in anyway. MANDATORY  means mandatory.  From team leaders on up, some people SHOULD NOT be in authority  positions.  We've lost great workers due to poor teamleaders or supervisors. Women are not treated equal by some supervisors and team leaders. It's not right,  but people are afraid to stand up for themselves or someone else. This DOES NOT REFLECT ON UPPER MANAGEMENT.  
If you can work hard, work overtime,  and want to earn decent monet, please,  apply now. Applications can be picked up in the office for direct hires or go to the temp agency.  We need dedicated,  hard working people. I've been here for many years.  The wait to get on days shift is about 3 years or more. Temps get hired after 90 days,  it use to be a year or more. If you have questions about working here, call Human Resources to get honest answers. Shutdown week in July and December.  Paid after you've been there. 14 paid holidays,  great benefits,  some opportunities depending on your ability,  work ethic,  attitude,  etc. It's up to you! Hard working,  honest people,  please apply!

The workdays at ASI were great for the first few months, while I was still getting acquainted the the company. Then, they turned chaotic and stressful. This was not unusual in a computer programmer/analyst position, but I thought ASI was going to be doing things better. When I became ill and was still working on recovering, I was required to sign a "Performance Improvement Plan" document with untrue statements about company policies that I had supposedly violated, if I wanted to keep my job. When it became clear that I only had a few weeks and I was going to be dismissed for "non-compliance," I had no choice but to go on disability, which was supposed to be covered by the company insurance plan for up to two years. After one year, the company dismissed me and the disability insurance stopped paying.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no best part. Unless you are friends with someone who works there or have family or friends in higher up positions. Managers doing drug and drinking alcohol on the job. Supervisor drinking alcohol on lunch break at a bar. Some people leave their position and magically come back 6 months later and gain same position or even a promotion. I could go on for days


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working in unsafe environment, watching people walk around for hours and not doing anything 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible, if they don't like you they do everything in their power to make it miserable. I've been there 12 years and feels like a lifetime 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working nonstop, work 3 and a half hours before you get a 10 min break. 6 hours before lunch break

Overall a wonderful opportunity, they will teach you how to weld. Management will assist you on making your quota if you have or are falling short. Very easy to learn any of the positions you get hired on for and they believe in showing their employees recognition for all of their hard work by providing us with free lunches and paying for family days. Which is where every employee is alloted up to 5 tickets for their family members to join us with a day pass for six flags. They may not do tickets to six flags every year but they do know how to show their appreciation for their employees. 

If you want to work more than 40 hours per week, you'll get that here. However, if you ever have a medical issue and need to take FMLA they do NOT always approve your FMLA. But they don't tell you this in time for you to keep your job! Then they will tell you that you can come back to work after 90 days. So 90 days later, when you re-apply you'll be told that they will not rehire you. They lie to people that have given up time with their family for MANY years to make sure their exhaust systems & manifolds were exquisitely perfect. NOT COOL AT ALL! I know of many hard workers they have done this to after being employed with this company several years. (Madison, IN & Manifold bldgs.) The HR in the manifold building will tell lies about calling in or deny your FMLA for unjustifiable reasons. Very unprofessional and unethical to test employees in this manner. You can do much better with another company, if you're looking for a long term employer.

I worked at Arvin Sango last year as a translator and group leader through a staffing agency. One of the highlights of my experience was definitely the people - the team is welcoming, collaborative, and supportive. The company also offers 12-hour shifts, which helped me fit work into my schedule better than typical 8-hour shifts. 

However, the pay was a downside. Despite my experience and bilingual skills, the staffing agency could only negotiate a $0.50 increase over the standard production associate rate, which felt insufficient given the demand of my role. I think there's room for Arvin Sango to improve by offering more competitive wages, especially for skilled or specialized positions. Additionally, I noticed areas where safety, continuous improvement, and operational efficiency could be enhanced. Overall, it's a place with great people and potential, though certain aspects could be further developed. 

I loved working here. Not all of the people you work with are pleasant but other than that, I enjoyed what I did there. You made time & 1/2 after 8 hrs and worked at least 10 hrs a day 5-6 days a wk. If you like $$.

But the point system was ridiculous..If your just a minute late 3-4 times in a year that's 2 whole points. Say you miss 3 days in the hospital theirs no "exusing" days. I was put off work for 3 wks after an emergency surgery I had to have and Arvin H.R told me I'd need a leave of absence. For every week I was out I was POINTED 1 pt per wk. I've never heard of such thing.. they're not very understanding or caring about their employees. I was 1 point away from being fired when I returned from leave (7 is fired) I lasted 4 months on that point. I got stuck in the snow and was 12 mins late 1 day and the last .5 pt my alarm simply didn't go off so I woke up and had no job.. 

Running multiple machines throughout the day due to being understaffed. Engineers are very intelligent and helpful however the steps taken to get them to work on the lines are pathetic...if you are down you have to call for a team leader who tries to fix it and fails and then calls maintenance  they fail to fix it  then an Engineer is then called. So much times wasted on people who can't fix the machines. Management sucks they have no clue what's going on 90 percent of the time. They sit in their office while the members suffer on the floor. People who work on the floor here are great to work with. Hardest part of the job is never getting caught up..ever. There is nothing enjoyable about working here. The company will order more than the lines can produce so your constantly behind or out of materials. Working 7 days a week 10hrs a day. 

I enjoyed working here, I was responsible for taking measurements on components that were created in the plant. I led crews in quality checks and entered all information into our computer program that would make sure the components were correct. 
I loved most of my time here. When management changed , my outlook changed as well. The idea of quality over quantity changed and I could no longer feel the pride in our parts that I once had. 
The hardest part of my job was having to work in a very hot environment. The plant could not have any air conditioning and it would get up to 120 degrees in the plant. My favorite part was feeling like part of a team and I really liked the benefits and pay.

If you're not used to working at a quick pace for long periods of time then I would not recommend you work here. It was an alright job physically demanding, you're manufacturing exhaust parts for vehicles, and you have to make from 5 to 600 pieces a day. It's easy if everybody on your team wants to hit the quota for the day. If not then that means you have to catch up on it the next day or on Saturday. It was really annoying when the machines that would weld all the steel parts together would go down, because if the maintenance team couldn't get the machine running quick then that meant you had to wait, and sometimes it was for hours at a time so that meant you were most likely going to work on Saturday and maybe Sunday if it was that bad.
