Bob Sumerel Tire Co

Hard work, good people, fast paced. It's a tire factory. Expect to work hard, get dirty hot and sweaty. Only issue with the whole place is everything is broken equipment wise. In some fashion or another any equipment you operate, especially the pneumatic items will be malfunctioning. Almost smashed by air equipment due to faulty controls that failed to stop when the controls were released. Also the tracks used to transport the tires around the factory via hooks is pieced together with cheap welds and are snagging and constantly causing extra work and dangerous issues. Untrained forklift operators who do not use safety practices, (horns), when driving through the open area with no designated zones for pedestrian traffic. 

The current manager there is a hard worker and helps the employees with their duties when needed. Said manager is hands on and was reasonable with you about any issues you may have. The long time employees there were very helpful and friendly. The work load can be very demanding and at times stressful!  I averaged 20-25k steps a day working there, so if you don’t mind the work out then you’ll do well there. The schedule was great for me being a parent. I loved being off early afternoon. Although come 10pm my body was BEAT. If you don’t mind repetitive work then this will be for you. I left due to the work load being too demanding. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing bad management organizational skills are horrible and then if you kiss, but you get what you want

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management can’t make their minds up what they want to do every day

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Backstabbing two-faced if you weren’t in the clique with the boss and you got the short end of the stick in the dirty end of all the work load

Everyone was stressed overworked and overwhelmed on a daily basis. Managers stand around and harass employees busting their backs while letting others get away with doing nothing. They will feed you whatever lie necessary to get you out of their face, they do not promote from within. Theyll make promises to promote but will never follow thru no matter how hard you work or how much you know. Just a sad back breaking grunt work job. 

The direct supervisor is very knowledgeable. The trainer would not accept people and different skill levels and doesnt know how to adjust accordingly. He kept treating me like garbage and putting me down and tried to joke around but there is a click in that company and if you ain't apart of it then they consider you an outsider.. the regional manager is old and I think he needs to retire.. he will knock down your pay as soon as he can and not give you a chance to prove yourself.. I'm glad I dont work there anymore..

Needs to update technology and staff. C-workers aren't use to new workers. They have been there so long that change hurts them. I really wanted to stay in this position, but they felt I was no longer needed. I was at a faster pace and they were so behind in invoice that I tackled it to where the vendors were complaining that the already sent the invoices in. The ball was dropped somewhere and I wanted to get the boos up to date. Alot of money hanging loose.

It was good from the start but then I seen why this company has 2.5 star reviews managers do not care about your wellbeing or your life outside of work be prepared to be working from 7:30 to 10 a clock cause no one knows how to plan anything there be prepared to be working in a understaffed environment and everything that needs to be done is suddenly put on you also this is not a military friendly company so if you are a guard or reserve member just don’t apply 

The manager and other higher ups have no regard for your life outside of doing the job. Will make you come in for "mandatory overtime" every weekend. They only care about what they look like in their supervisors eyes and habe no concern for your safety or well being. Normal work day was said to be 8 hours but normally work more like 10 hours due to the manager wanting to get the number of tires they want to get out not caring how long you habe to stay.

The position was okay. 

 Did not care for my direct supervisor. 

The daily processing of the store locations inventory was challenging due to incorrect counts and sales postings.

Trouble shooting the user's problems with computer hardware and software was hard due to getting only half the picture from my supervisor instead of the full picture.

This company at the beginning was great to work work but over the time I have been there things went down hill. People have come and go due to bad management being mistreated not being recognized for the work they do. Under paid employees was a big problem. People feeling like there worth as an employee was not noticed. Overtime has been cut next to nothing. New management up until now.
