•A typical day of work looks like management sitting in an air conditioned room, while you're sweating to death in front of a 300+ degree press.  

•I believe that I learned the difference between a job you look forward to, and a work environment so bad that you dread driving to work every morning.

•management is a joke. "We care about you and want you to have a work-life and family life balance" lol. Very few lies are bigger than that. Mandatory overtime every week. If you're laid up, dying in a hospital bed, they'll still point you for missing. If you look at them the wrong way on a specific day of the week, they'll fire you, regardless of your work ethic or work experience. If you say the wrong thing (like disputing pay,) you'll get blacklisted from ever working there again. Fail a drug test, they'll let you back in 30 days.

•workplace culture: do you like working under a group of people who haven't the faintest idea of what's actually going on? Do you enjoy a complete lack of any direction? Isn't it nice when management picks someone to throw under the bus for their own hangups?

•hardest part of the job: navigating the constantly changing rules and standards like it's high-schools politics, management(lol)

•the most enjoyable part of the job: the drive home, and searching for a new job on Indeed.


While I worked with coworkers I had worked with at other places, sadly the realization of the mistake we made by joining this company became clear to all. There is no continuity. Supervisors and Team Leads tried their best to detour unsatisfactory work situations with no success. Much talent was overlooked and it was definitely a dead end job with an extensive turnover. Employees are not challenged nor held accountable for failure to meet 5S standards nor production in turn creating more work and overtime. There are too many employees in positions that can be divided up to have more supervision and ensure good quality on the production floor. There is no confidentiality and issues that arose were subject to gossip,whether personal or professional. Promotions are given to those without knowledge or proper training of their job descriptions resulting in loss of good employees. I strongly discourage anyone from taking the risk to work for a company that would rather see you walk out the door than correct a problem. Please note the employees there with years behind their titles, are those escorting the employees out the door. 

Loved the job, its hectic and chaotic 99% of the time, but thats automotive in general, the customers never held to there plan, they would drop in and out orders and create confusion and panic. Thats the biggest issues for the overtime. Tons of great people on the work floor, but the environment makes them stressed then it all starts to unravel, they cant train correctly due to needing numbers, machines need some good work done to them, and parts for them take ages to get. Its just a mess alot of the time i really hope it lines out because that town needs that company and there are some wonderful people there that i truely miss working with.  Hr is wonderful, maintance is strong there, they just cant get parts alot of tikes to fix things. Quality department isnt bad, they just are never on the same page, the plant manager i use to really like...there is 2 big problems there and it boils down too 2 people, they fix that issue the sky is the limit if they can just see what they already are aware of

A typical day at Bruss, come in have a start up meeting they tell you the do's and do-not's. and what is needed from all the employee's for the night. Numbers and such. Every night we learn if the whole company is ahead or behind. and what is expected of us for that night. I don't think management is very good anymore they have very young supervisors and they use the system how they want. And for the culture part of it i guess it.s ok mostly white people work there but there has been other minorities worked there before. the hardest part of the job i think would be taking orders from someone the same age as your kid. and when you know they don't really stick to the rule books. there is favoritism going on in the company. And the most enjoyable part of the job, i love the work and the set hour's .

Has its pros and cons like everywhere else manga thing is clear and feels you work by yourself and its tail so if you're not a people person it's a good place for you if you're not a fast-paced person I wouldn't recommend it I do give a good amount of paid vacation days at the beginning of the year, that's a Pro.. But on the other hand, you only get 5 Points a year.   At the 5th Point u get,  you're   FIRED..THAT'S WITH A  doctors note and everything...  Also if you work your whole shift and leave an hour early,  it counts as ONE WHOLE POINT...JUST AS it would if you didn't come in altogether.... The Point system really sucks there.. you have to go a whole year, before knocking OFF ONE POINT... Then they wonder why they can't keep help..

Bruss is only as hard and stressful as you make it. All they ask for is your best efforts so they may determine where you would best fit in. Some people have the potential to make it all the way to the top and some people are just very complacent in their professional life. Good and easy money as long as you are willing to put in the effort. It's definitely not the job for everyone but if you have will power and are strong minded, then you can make it far with this company. No bull is tolerated, but then again they didn't become so big and be able to pay their employees so much by tolerating people messing around in the work place. In conclusion, just act grown and do your job and prove you are worth the efforts and you will definitely have a life long career with Bruss if that's what you desire.

Bruss North America has no respect for their employees. Ridiculously hot in there, unless you work in plastics. No fans or working air conditioning in bonded pistons or seals areas, while management sit in their comfy little offices with jackets and hoodies on. Management is a joke. Their rules and regulations change daily. They claim with new pay scale that you can make up to $12.80 an hour, that is a lie. They do ridiculous evaluations every 3 months which are based on if your supervisor likes you or not...not based on you experience and performance. They worry more about getting rid of people rather than keeping their more experienced and more skilled employees. Yet they don't understand why they can't keep any help... Place is just awful, don't work there if at all possible.

I worked for this company for over 8 years and witnessed several management changes. As it is currently and toward the second half of my time there, I would not recommend this place to anyone. The benefits are great, but all workers are treated as expendable idiots that are to blame for everything management screwed up. You work almost every single weekend and often times holidays because management cannot properly coordinate production and order supply. Many employees there have been led to alcoholism and depression from having to work in that toxic environment. Stay away if you possibly can.

There is absolutely no organization for work schedule, work assignment, placed in a different work area every night and I was placed by the supervisor in work areas where I had absolutely no training. I never had any confirmation of what days I was working and I worked with different associates every single night. The place is filthy and disorganized, even though the pay was good I felt constantly stressed out and uncomfortable and my supervisor was made aware of this on several occasions without any amends being made. Overall the entire work experience was absolutely the most horrendous place of employment in my 25 years of working and I would not recommend anyone order or affiliate themselves with this company 

Started off working 8 hour days but when new management took over we were forced to work OT to meet orders. We were not told most times until shift was almost over that we had to stay an extra 4 hours. If you didn't work the OT you were possibly fired that night or the next day you came in. Mostly skeleton crews working 2nd and 3rd shifts. Supervisor from mornings would tell night crew we had to stay over on Saturday mornings due to the fact first and second could not meet production.
I would never recommend this company to anyone that would like to have a family life.
It is a who likes you company and if not in their click you get nowhere.
