Autoneum

I started out as an operator, and became promoted to Team Lead after 1 year. Once you get the hang of daily tasks, procedures, and workflow, this job is fairly simple.
As a Team Lead, you are responsible for your assigned machining cell, by writing hourly production notes, printing labels, calling for maintenance, making sure operators are good and keeping busy, knowing when and how to do different types of changeovers to different parts, and verifying quantity plus quality of parts produced.
Working as a team might be the most fun part, if you don't have to deal with turnover rate, and work with new operators every day. Although mine is when working a full shift, and seeing that the production board is green (target parts per hour >85%, or 0 scrap parts).
The hardest parts are not knowing your schedule for the day until you walk into work (sometimes), or having to run a line other than your own, that you have little to no experience running, or being in an operator spot that is very, very fast-paced, with no downtime between part assembly, or running a part that is impossible to reach 85% OEE (target parts per hour).
Overtime past 40 hours is 1.5 times pay, with Sunday being 2 times pay, and working on a holiday is 3 times pay. Sometimes you may be scheduled to work 10-12 hour shifts, instead of the normal 8 hours, or to work 6-7 days of the week, or both, maxing out at 72 hours in a week.
My hardest part of the job is either being unable to say no to overtime, and working every weekend for months, or the machine I'm running constantly having problems, breaking down, making scrap parts, and blowing out dust plus steam.

Their pay doesn’t compensate for how much they work you like a dog. They lure you in with decent benefits, paid time off, holidays and discounts but that’s just to cover up the fact that this place is not a good place to work at. You’re on overtime 99% of the time because their machines break down every 2 seconds. They blame the employees for why we don’t make numbers but in reality they just need someone to blame so it doesn’t look bad on them. Expect to work 6-7 days a week, every week and don’t let them fool you when they tell you, you won’t be on overtime forever. The management there is terrible. Don’t expect to get any recognition for the work you do and don’t expect to come to them with a problem and them be civil about it. They don’t like to hear how they could do better or they don’t like you questioning their motives even if they’re in the wrong. The supervisors and team leads love to pick and choose favorites. Are you slow at your job but they like you? Don’t worry because you’ll get to do whatever easy job you want. If you’re good at your job, just know you’ll get the bad end of the stick. Did you injure yourself on the job? Oh well. You have to do your job or else you’ll get in trouble. You’re on your death bed? Don’t think for a second they’ll feel sympathetic for you because all they see you as someone who can work. Oh, and I forgot the best part, mostly the supervisors, but some team leads will do this too, will treat you differently if you’re of color. So don’t expect to feel comfortable working at this job.

Started there and they DO NOT train! They throw you into the wolves while you’re blinded. The work is easy if you have a good team lead and others on your line who actually care about the job. Most of the people there are just stealing company time. They don’t put in any work and will literally stand in the way or even stand there and watch you work. There are a few good people that care about their job and who do a good job but management is so terrible to where the good employees get treated badly. They tell you communication is very important and that if you need help with something or have any types of issues then they will work with you which is a complete lie. They are very unorganized. Being a young female that is a very hard worker in that place is terrible because they have some people in management who will try to use intimidation tactics and treat you horribly. Overall stay away from this place!!

The worst thing there's no escalation process for the jobs. Even though

There's no climate control in the building. So with all of the machines running the temperature inside gets higher then the temperature outside. The culture is fast pace.

Stressful, hot, and dirty. The building is big, but there is only two bathrooms in it. For over 300 employees to use.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
 A typical day for me at Autoneum was long and steady , I stayed busy , never a dull moment.  Every day was never the same but I stayed busy and I enjoyed my job

My typical day at work was trying to case down two or one other guy working in maintenance. Was giving no keys to home the robots which ive done for years. Couldn't touch a skyjack or forklift till there was a group that needed training but had tickets for both. And job I would find the guys at only one of them would explain what was going on or the issue. Then you have so a bunch of bosses but the head engineer was how you had to listen to and he would talk bad about everyone in maintenance . He stuck me doing machinest work and when he didnt like the part i made he would say your not a millwrght.  Just a bad  enviorment from day one. I was looking for a job  my third week in. They promise all this stuff but got none of it.  Worst place ive ever worked at. Easy.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part is the meeting coworkers, the actual people you work with fay by day

the most stressful part of working here is management, they say one thing one day and when stuff comes back to them

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
As far as work environment you have to have a personal relationship with higher level employees. And I mean intimate relationship 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is not knowing what you are doing for the day , management never keep up with what their job title is

Poor working conditions: ACL molders are constantly leaking hydraulic fluid in the mold/oven areas. NVH molders are known for being wonky because no maint. BOTH AREAS have hydraulic leaks in the pinch presses, they tend to open close 3-15 times before allowing the operator to do their job when it requires only 1 close if it was up to snuff. ALL water jets have pressure issues because autoneum refuses to order parts necessary to upkeep machines [and no longer has a IN HOUSE fabrication / CNC] 

ALL AREAS END UP SEEING 90+ F ambient  during summer!  MOLDERS IN BOTH AREAS SEE 100+ F! 

Water and oil on walkways and paths to break areas..... I could go on for awhile.....


ALSO ALL SUPERVISORS/MANAGEMENT ASIDE FROM FERRIS HAVE ISSUES BEING: HONEST, RELIABLE, TRUSTWORTHY, RESPONSIBLE....

There’s a reason this plant has injuries, high turnover, and a fatality.

Safety, quality, and employee well-being all take a backseat to production numbers.

You are held accountable for things which are beyond your control, by managers who cannot communicate, train, or manage effectively.

Your training will be bare minimum, and usually taught by people who themselves weren’t trained properly. 

If you have a family you’ll see less and less of them due to mandatory overtime.

Your concerns will be dismissed with rationales, passive-aggressive digs, and  excuses for unethical behavior.

Do not work here.

A typical day at autoneum consisted of picking up the slack of the completely incompetent machines and coworkers. If you want to get worked like a dog this the place for you. The culture was very highschool and leads often had favorites who weren't worked as hard as the rest. I developed carpal tunnel from the very short time I was there which was about 4 months.
