those faucets in your kitchen jus know people really slave for them omg man i was tired all the time when i first started they worked 7 days a week and the people wanted to milk the clock if youre gonna work here dont i repeat DONT!!!!! go to assembly if you do try to transfer to another area quickly. upper management is bad and unfair. supervisors dont care and your coworkers purposely annoy you if you dont talk to them. it seemed like you are forced to talk to them or theyd try and gang up on you. if a girl that everyone thinks is cute likes you oh boy you better get ready for competition cuz there are alot of player haters there. then the managers use scare tactics to motivate you. like firing people to prove a point. a supervisor liked me but i didnt like her back she got so mad that she'd try an write me up for goin to the restroom or getting some to drink while the line was moving it gets pretty humid in there not too hot tho.there 401k program is good but it took bout 15% of my check i didnt think anything bout it til their business went down really bad i went from getting 40+hrs/week($1300-$1600 checks/biweekly)to barely 20 (400-600)i was severly living paycheck to paycheck like no food or gas 2-3 days before payday it went on for 6 or more months i had to sell my puppy i had jus got 2 months b4 cuz i couldnt take care of it.i got really depressed after that. i dont know how i made it working there. i quit. it was one of the best decisions of 2019 for me. im giving myself one more year in this factory work then im done for the rest of my life cuz its jus modern day slave work.whoever reading this and you dont have any kids like me go and pursue something greater college didnt work out for me so im goin to get a trade still gonna make good money jus wont work my life away doin it

This place is so unorganized I really don't know how they stay afloat. Most of the management and salary lacks professionalism and have zero respect or curtesty for the hourly employees. They change your starting time constantly because they can't figure out how to keep production flowing within the departments. In one year my hours changed 6 times and the 6th time was back to the original. Few months go by and they are at it again. And they take no recomendations from the floor seriously. And if you have a good idea, just wait 6 months or so and then they'll use it as their own. Also, if you're not one of their pets (you know the kind that tells on everyone, so they can get away with everything) then you have no chance of advancement. And of course they're a few good things they do. You can earn free lunches and Delta bucks to spend in company store. Which is really awesome. They have some really nice things. They also give a bonus out at the beginning of the year for the prior year, if goals were met. It's not as big as the good ole Christmas bonus we use to get, but it is better than nothing. People from all over South Eastern  Indiana knew about that Christmas bonus. Delta use to  be well known for having such good rapport and being a reputable company that people wanted to become a part of. Hopefully someday Delta will return to what it once was.

They preach to be a continuous improvement facility but its plant manager's way or no way!
Management has to go, including plant manager Greensburg, IN 
When you speak up on items to improve office team members be little you. Office employees dont take hourly seriously. And if you have

Pros
Some good people. Decent pay. Meet goals-free lunch.
Cons
Management treats hourly poorly, salary people are never held accountable for their poor behavior, favoritism is not unnoticed, company rules are not held to all employees.

Typical day at work: Completing competitive analyses of various products and brand campaigns, data tabulation and synthesis of consumer and market research, participation in new product development/cross-functional teams, fulfilling sample and giveaway product order needs, generating surveys for marketing department use, completing new model workflows (PIS), building standard presentations for internal and external use.
I have learned how to synthesize information from the field and generate reports to multiple functional groups within the company. I have learned the importance of clear and concise communication as well as the importance of honesty, ethics, and equity within working relationships. 
Management is hierarchical but communication is open and equal amongst all parties. The culture is one of respect and constant learning and improvement. 
Managing multiple projects simultaneously can become difficult with the amount of meetings and potential delays in production. 
I enjoy the product marketing side due to the internal production and research intensive characteristics. The culture of the company is also very enjoyable.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Absolutely nothing, that is unless you enjoy no HR assistance,  no management,  1 Saturday off per month (maybe), working in a chaotic, dysfunctional, hot environment that produces inferior products. If you enjoy being a scape-goat for bad badly engineered products and never knowing your fellow worker's name, because the revolving door for employees is the only breeze you'll feel at Delta Faucets Lapeer!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Showing up and then the next 8 to 10 hours. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Chatoic-dysfunctional environment peppered with anticipation of who is going to be the fall guy for the previous shifts horribly produced products and filled with wonder and amazement at just how far from the products engineered specifications the management will deviate from those specifications just to get numbers out the door.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hot, sweaty, exhausting, stressful, frustrating, unfulfilling, watching a clock that seems to tick in reverse,,,Other then that, it's a day at the beach,,,one with shark infested waters!

The typical workday started with a check of email for process emergencies from 2nd or 3rd shift, walk through for face to face feedback with 3rd shift, move forward with many projects during the day, walk through for face to face feedback with 2nd shift, then continue with project work.  The vast majority of my knowledge and experience came from Delta.  Management and the culture of the company was great until they learned that 95% of all manufacturing operations were going to be moving to Jackson TN.   The hardest part of the job was that only management knew of the move to Jackson, so it was very difficult to understand why new equipment was not being bought even after justifications yielding 6-month paybacks.  The most enjoyable part of the the job were the technical challenges with finding faster and better ways to produce product more cost-effectively and with superior quality and process reliability.

A typical day to start off one's shift is that you meet up with all team members as well as management over the shift an go over any issues or given information on how or what is expected before the start of the shift or any emails given down from upper level management after that there is a daily exercise in stretching to be performed aka mandatory. As far as management it's usually the same universal they're not good at they're job.The workforce culture was diverse from a range of ppl young to older with different backgrounds.The hardest part of the job was you were expected to get a certain amount quote of work done on a daily basis like on a performance basis scale or you would or could get reprimanded for poor performance so it was a very stressful environment to be around an there was no climate control in the CDC soil was extremely high and hard to breathe in the summer months allof sweating for sure.The most enjoyable part of the job will there wasn't one actually besides getting To go home.

A typical work day is supporting the shipment of goods produced, organize work place to make sure customer receives the correct shipment, report defective materials to the supervisor, and make sure the work area is clean and to follow all safety rules. The management is absolutely sexist and is unequal. The people who also work there are not the sharpest either, the employees can start fights and get away with it because they kiss the bosses butt. The hardest part of the job is coming into work everyday and trying to accomplish the quota and if you do not come close you get yelled at but if you do accomplish it you're not doing a well of enough job and you need to work harder. There's a no win situation here between your co-workers and the management.

Wanna be worked into the ground? Come on down to Delta Faucet. Where they put uneducated people in a team lead position with no intention of running a successful team. You will wonder why everyone around you is leaving left and right, management is why. The job in itself is not hard at all, but when you have write ups constantly threatened and favorites played on the daily it becomes extremely frustrating. If you want to experience work and home life balance, this is NOT the place for you. 12 hours of standing on concrete especially when it’s extremely hot will wear your body down. The money is not the worth the amount of pain your feet and back will be in. Not to mention if you work 12 hour shifts you wait 3 hours and 30 minutes for your first break. 10 minute breaks are not long enough. And 30 minutes for lunch is no time!
