Autoneum North America

a typical day at work would have had me comeing in at 8 in the afternoon and standing for 8 hours until someone can come and tag me out for my brake...
if someone came for me at all...

I learned that I hate the Indiana workforce commission.
the only brake I got was spent on the tiny amount of food I could afford from the overpriced food kiosk.

I think the hardest part of the job was seeing someone Die at work because a safety gate lock being installed incorrectly (it was installed on the wrong side of the door with the wind down timer disabled) when the police got there our managers told us to "not stand around and go back to our stations."

the only enjoyable part of working there was one good friend I got to work with. and getting payed just so I could keep my house.

The pay and the benefits are really good at this facility, and most of the production operators are friendly. However the management of the place is very poor and often places and higher than necessary demand on production workers and lower management. They do not provide enough resources for maintenance and engineering, production scheduling is a nightmare, support for any issues on the floor is incredibly limited, overtime is mandatory nearly every week, management appears to be relatively unconcerned about production operator conditions and issues. Overall it feels like the admin and management team is more concerned about their own job posturing and office politics than the actual productivity of the plant 

Working at Autoneum North America is exciting. They soundproof, assemble and manufacture car floor boards for BMW, Mercedes Benz, and Infiniti. I find it exciting because, knowing that I'm a part of making other people's ride quieter and less noisy. Extremely easy work, all I do it staple a Velcro strap on the side of the part and insert floor mat hooks on the bottom of the part and lable it. Amongst the line is a very precise machine called a water jet, it cuts the holes in the carpet. It's a huge robot like machinery that heats water and shoots it out with extreme pressure. It's cool to watch. Everyone is friendly everyone helps each other and we all have some form of relationship, everyone knows each other. Close knit and almost like family. 

Terrible. A typical work day which is more than likely a forced 12 hr shift.  working conditions are terrible and unsafe.  equipment is faulty and generally held together with zip ties and duct tape.  Fires are a major concern.  The fire suppression system is faulty and never maintained. Management is unhelpful in every way.  due to the fact that they themselves are getting constant pressure from higher management, because of this they are in a constant rush and let safety go to the way side. co-worker are lazy and usually high or drunk it is like a drug dealer convention. the hardest part of the job is the hours. an average week is usually 84 hours. there is no enjoyable part to this job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The overtime was probably the best part. In order to make good money you needed to work night shift. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not knowing if someone was going to overdose when they went out on break at night. Major drug use and people trying to turn machines on while someone is inside. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You could only get far in the company if you was willing to do "extra" things for the management. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Expected to be treated like you are stupid and spoken to like you are trash.

This company used to be ver good years and but has gone horribly downhill. Bad bad management. No communication. Lack of supplies means often times being sent home. Also contributing factors are lack of maintaining and fixing machines. Not really sure from week to week how much you are working or might get sent home. Union is a complete joke. They only collect dues and do what the company says. After ten years ive had enough and looking to.leave/retire. Last few years been nothing but a great exodus from the plant even of long time employees.

The production workers are good ppl. Management ppl belittle some employees. Years ago this was where everyone wanted to work. Now the management in charge destroyed it. Autoneum quickly became the worst paying factory in this area. Management even wanted to take our raises away. Thankfully we have a union and they were unable to do that. They are sending all our jobs to Mexico. You run continuous. Someone will give you a break two 10 minute's and one 15 minute lunch. If you are a minute late the are calling you on the PA.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Getting paid 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being told I'm cheating at my job, poor management, being told to shut up about problems because no other shift says anything. Toxic.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, upper management is completely out of touch with the few good workers they have. And then they punish those same workers if anything goes wrong.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in go to work cell bust a move break ad infinitum every day ever

I feel my job is challenging you never know what to expect , some nights the machine will run well while other times it's a nightmare.I like the support I get from management they are willing to  fix problems . It's rewarding when you have a good shift and you make your supervisor proud. I guess the only down side is I work 2nd shift with little chance of ever getting on 1st shift  and the 50+ miles I drive a day for work.

Fast paced and a very demanding environment. Usually here anywhere from 9-10 hours per day, typically off every other weekend. The culture here has changed dramatically since I started 7 years ago. Hardest part of job is dealing with so many people that believe they are entitled. The maintenance department has had a lack of real leadership for my entire employment at the plant.
