ENKEI AMERICA

The work environment itself was not really welcome. It was a sink or swim operation with a very steep learning curve. Pay was nearly non-competitive, while the benefits were decent. Management, in my opinion, was lack luster. Production flow decisions were made without proper working knowledge of actual workflow and employees' abilities. High turn over rate since there  was minimal training time accompanied by the aforementioned steep learning curve of the production process. Coworkers were not really welcoming, as "hazing" new employees was typical. The hardest part of the job was the amount of work required with the hours of the job typical 12 hour days). The most enjoyable part of the job was some of the interactions with other employees.

The plant has a lot of Japanese staff that run the day to day operations and control the direction of the company. The culture gives preference to the Japanese staff, and non-Japanese staff seem to be second class citizens. Be prepared to grovel to the owner every 6 months when 5S occurs. Sleeping during meetings is a common occurrence of the support function management. 

This is an easy place to get a start and then move to another company with better pay and more opportunities. These positions are laid back and slow paced, putting in extra hours is not necessary. During economic downturns in the economy expect to be asked to take a pay cut and don't expect to get that pay back soon after the recovery. (Example 2008 crash)

What is the best part of working at the company?
No mandatory over time,work overtime when you want,or don't work it what ever you want,pay average,a lot of learning keeps you interested, people are good to ya,the hours could be better I like 10 hr shifts ,will work 12 hr shifts it's a little much,you don't get proper rest on 12 hr shifts

Busy busy busy,long hard hours

If you where well train in the area that the company puts you in, Things will work out.
You try not to get stressed out over a production line has stopped running. And that would happen most of the time.
I have learned that with all knowledge that person has a computer sometimes has a mine of it's own . I worked in production control Where I had three auditors under me.
I enjoyed working with people and helped were I can.
And reporting problems to my supervisor at the end of my shift.

The upper management could care less for the workers. I was a shift assistant and between the 3 shifts no one would help the assistants. No matter what you did right its never good enough. You go to the mangers with issues with family asking if you could take care of it and you get its not thier issue. But they get to show up and leave when they want to because family issues. Let's nit forget that everyone talks about everyone behind thier backs including management it's like middle school all over. If someone asked me if they should work there I'd tell the run!!!!!!!

This Job I was very good at but the environment and management make it harder than it needs too be. It stays at a constant 90+ degrees inside and can get up too 130 degrees. The employees get great benefits but the pay isn't worth the toil that your body takes over the course of a couple years. The Management are only worried about numbers for the most part and are willing change it too make themselves look better.

This company would be the best if they had different management. They don't listen to the employees when they make decisions about the job. They often make things harder than it has to be but they won't take what your ideas are in consideration.

Dealing with Human Resources

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Good until HR walks the plantation

I worked my last several years as a clerk, I worked with great people, and a great management team. My typical morning was working with night shift to make sure they had the needed supplies and doing manger reports and daily income statements for the various departments. I enjoyed my daily routine, and the people i worked with. I scheduled department lunches for record breaking months.

Take calls of equipment failure, fabricate parts or equipment, and perform PM's. Learned more on robots and temperature control equipment. Supervisor would always jump in when we got swamped. Co-workers would always jump in to help out, Working on top off the ovens in the middle on summer. Most enjoyable was when a tough job was completed.
