So, the pay is pretty great at least after being hired in.
You have to go through a temp agency and after working there for 3 months you have the chance to be hired in and during that time the temp agency takes their cut making it not so much of a great pay up front.
The work life balance is hard to rate as it honestly depends on the department and your luck/area.
Some times you'll go at least a month working 6 days a week. some times you would have a hard time finding a minute of OT.
Its all dependant on what orders they need to fill.
There definitely isnt amazing opportunity for advancement however its not even close to out of reach, I just wouldn't be suprised if you end up having to wait years for an opening.

The general job culture is both friendly and not, people all want to get out at certain times and nobody ever is on the same page about it in most cases. People will get upset at you getting done late and also will get upset at being done on time. 

Lastly the communication here is honestly kind of terrible. 
Upper management doesn't tell lower management details until the last second no matter what it is, this seems to be more of an issue when it comes to being a Temp where the temp agency has to communicate with the regular staff team, however it still happens reguardless.

Honestly it has plenty of potential and dont let this 1 star scare you off, but in its current state I would advise avoiding it. 
In the future? potentially a perfect position.

OH and the pay is 12.50 starting, once hired in goes to 14.50 with periodic raises in first year up to 16.50 and then a 1$ per hour bonus for 2nd and 3rd shift people. 

Used to be amazing and place to work. Management has went downhill. The whole time lace is slowly going downhill. Employees are all replaceable and that’s how your treated. If your title is production associate then your treated as knowing nothing. The machines don’t work most of the time and the situation is treated as your fault. Your still expected to hit them numbers in 8 hours or your stayen for 12. That’s your fault to. Doesn’t matter your machines don’t work right. Half of the time they forget to even order you parts to do your job or their sitting in a warehouse in Delaware. They may show up 30 minutes left in your shift. Guess what, your stayen that 12 to hits those numbers. Which obviously never happens. Maintenance chooses your machine to work on for the day even if your machine is running somewhat decent. Your not gonna hit your numbers. Plus half the time it runs worse than it did. The first thing they preach here is safety which is actually very much followed here. Second would be quality. The first thing out the door here is quality. If it comes to losing money from bad parts they will literallly throw everything out the window to not have to scrap a bad part the blame you for either outcome. I’ve worked in multiple areas, multiple titles,was a temp, full time hired in, worked here multiple times. From somebody that knows, benefits and pay are good. If your young a single perfect job for you to start your life. But you will never have a life outside of this place. So if you have a family especially one that has a spouse who works another shift. Don’t plan on ever seeing one another. This place cares little if at all about you or them.

The jobs at Yutaka were easy when cut to the basic of it but hired a lot of slackers or ppl missing work a lot. They tended to take advantage of good associates to compensate for the ones that would not put forth effort in their jobs.  The coordinators acted as if they were in high school working more about their love connections on the floor or hitting up every girl on Facebook to see what kind of profound photos they could get or to go further.  Team leads and offline were constantly finding excuses for not doing their job and wanting to put blame on others.  The facility did not fallow plant wide rules set by the company. Yutaka could be a most stressed environment to work for not to mention the hrs.  I worked more than my own team leader not to mention that everyone involved in the area of my work would need to ask me what are production for the day was and our numbers (inventory avaliable for production).  Yutaka is not a well put together facility. The pay and benefits however were decent. It was tolerable to work there but I would never want to be a part of such a disarray again.

This was a good job with good pay, lots of overtime(if you asked for it!) for me it was a stressful environment when they switched me to a different department when I got hired on. I was in catalytic converter department, which I really enjoyed and great management and good environment. But when I got put back in a different department (Silencer) I hated going to work everyday, the management I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s bad but you have to talk to them so much when something’s going wrong with your machine and trust me something WILL be wrong with it everyday. You get put under a lot of stress for this job sometimes but it is still an okay place to work. It has good benefits and good/competitive pay and $1 differential for 2nd/3rd shift!! I may be going back to this factory in the future, but if you quit/get fired you have to wait 6 months to go back.


Working at CYT has been an incredibly disappointing experience. From the start, the company's management style is autocratic and unresponsive to employee concerns. The upper management is disconnected from the day-to-day realities of the workplace and shows little to no interest in the well-being of their staff.
The work environment is highly competitive in the worst possible way, with colleagues encouraged to undermine each other to get ahead. There is no sense of team spirit or collaboration. Instead, the atmosphere is toxic, with rampant favoritism and office politics overshadowing actual performance and hard work. Moreover, the company offers little in terms of career development or opportunities for growth. Employee turnover is extremely high, which further disrupts workflow and morale. Overall, CYT is a place where employee voices are stifled, stress levels are perpetually high, and job satisfaction is virtually nonexistent. I would not recommend this company to anyone seeking a supportive and fulfilling work environment.

Opportunity:
If you are a recent college graduate especially if you live in Ohio then Cardington Yutaka Technologies INC is a good place to start.  It is a Honda Tier 1 supplier and a Japanese owned company with global reach.

Internal Workplace Description:
There are a lot of hard workers in the company.  Management is the same as any management in other companies - some are good and some are bad.

Pros:
Paid summer and winter shutdowns.  
Type of mass production parts sold to customer can be counted with your hands and feet.  Of course, service parts are a lot.
If you worked for a long period of time with the company then you gained valuable work and social experiences.

Cons:
This company has the same cons as any other companies.  If this was a perfect company then I would have never left.  So, honestly, the cons are personal.  It is up to you to decide what the cons are but honestly the cons are typical of any companies.

I love working at CYT but dealing with lack of communication and respect from management makes it quite difficult to feel appreciated.  I mean how hard is it to acknowledge someone who goes above and beyond what's expected. Yes, we are paid to do a job and show up, that's easy. But when management let's certain people refuse to work a specific line and pick and choose where they want to work. While the people who work where they are told without complaints, which is our job, get treated like invisible,  invalued and unappreciated minions, well that's the biggest problem in my opinion.  So basically what I'm saying is that DEPARTMENT MANAGEMENT, COORDINATORS AND TEAM LEADS SUCK and  upper management needs to take notice. People want and deserve to feel valued!!!

Most shifts were 8-12 hours. You had 3 paid 10 minute breaks, and 1 unpaid 30 minute lunch. I learned about working in a factory and as a team to achieve daily production numbers. Management was strict and firm with a lot of their policies. But understanding of most unexpected circumstances that came up. Co-Workers were not as good. Most were very judgmental and brought a lot of their personal problems into work. A lot of people would like to create drama and distort stories that would circulate around the facility. The hardest part of the job was the climate. During the summer, it would be extremely hot on the production floor. Bringing water to work was a must or else you would get dehydrated. The best part of the job was the pay and benefits.

a typical day at work is very stressful, mainly due to lack of leadership skills, and  no communication whatsoever. Although there is alot to learn the machines become repetitive, and are in poor condition. Co-Workers are very hardtop deal with sometime, nobody thinks they are ever wrong. most enjoyable part of my day at Cardington Yutaka was break time and whenever I was clocking out to leave. hardest part of the day was knowing you were doing the same exact things you been doing for the past 3 months.

Very good product,  review supplier issues on production assembly line.  I have much experience obtained before CYT and have learned that it is very beneficial in my daily tasks.

I write Quality Standards for new model launches, schedule and  conduct Quality Audits at suppliers.  I also process and sign off on submitted PPAP's.

CYT management seems to change directions from one president to the next president.  My co-workers and hard workers and are very capable.  

It is very hard watching new model launches when the tooling comes from overseas and do not match the suppler parts.

Solving the issues of supplier problems is the most enjoyable part.  Working with the supplier not against them.
