FCC (Adams)

During my time with FCC Adams there was little to no cosistancy.  Each day was repetitive however, guidance was changed based on what made them look good.  We were often interrogated about things that we knew and had already handled.  There was no trust and lack of support.  Don't think that anything you do outside of work won't be used against you.  Someone at work, especially management, sees you do something they dont like you may be reprimanded or talked to about it.  Culture is very much management vs employees.  Management really needs to understand it takes their full team to make this business thrive.  Don't wait until someone is unhappy and leaves to do 'damage control', make your team understand their importance and listen to their concerns/ideas.  When concerns are expressed don't use the excuse how management is so busy, we are all busy and often under staffed adding to that issue.  If it was management alone that contributed to the companies success then they wouldn't need the hard working people they have. Pay was a constant issue for skilled personnel and administration.  They want to offer experienced and great talent pay well lower than average.  I get it is Berne Indiana, but you still need to be competitive with other local businesses.

Horrible 12-hour days and depending on where you're situated at. forklift drivers are treated with disdain and overpressured due to management. You have no opportunity for advancement. none. never will. The people running it do not know who anyone is and do not care. you are a number in a spreadsheet to them. Any talk of organizing will be met with immediate removal of the facility and promptly banned from ever returning. They are well aware of the lax work requirements here in this state and not only do they take full advantage of it, some might say its boarding onto abuse. Don't work here. please do not work here. they are a stain to the identity of Berne and once they depleted their resources, whether that be due to a lack of any skilled workers, such as forklift operators or the workers internally just aging out. this company cares for one thing and one thing only. Money. 

Management doesn't understand why turnover is so high. They don't realize that they are the issue. If you want to be micromanaged and treated poorly this is the place for you. They stopped caring about the quality of candidates and they have just been looking for a warm body to put in a position. They over work employees and there is poor work/life balance. You get treated poorly when you take time off that you have been given just because they are short staffed. If you are good at your job you get to do more and more and not be compensated for it. No use in trying to go above and beyond for them because they will always want more and more without a wage increase. Some machine operators can make more than Team Leaders because they get more incentives. Invest in your leadership and you may not have so many issues! It was the worst workplace culture I have experienced.

The company has turnover at every level. This puts stress on current employees to take more responsibility than is expected (overtime, doing multiple jobs, and training new employees all at once with little to no leadship.) This is causing turnover of experienced workers and passing the responsibility to newer employees... creating a seemingly endless cycle.

 It gets hot during the summer in areas, but is a relatively easy job for someone willing to work. There is very little flexibility on scheduling for new employees, so don’t miss unless you absolutely have to in your first 90 days. You are given 80 hours of personal time at your start date (partial for the first 90 days)  which resets every year. Vacation is given AFTER one year. Perfect attendance gives and extra $1 an hour each month, which is great. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no best part of working there.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management treats you like scum. Management acts like it’s the only job in the world and expect you to put up with the way they treat you. I’d you have a problem there, they WILL NOT resolve it! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is very hot in there if you’re not in assembly. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My job was to find issues with the quality. Each time I found issues that were not passable-even with the picture of the example of bad quality, they would come out and pass them all! They have people that make those decisions that do not care about the quality.

For the most part FCC was a great place to work. Management was good at the start but then new ones came in. In about seven months working there management was a bit of a joke. There were a lot of things not getting done and communication was lost. In the area witch I had worked, the management had put a lot of stress on one person doing a two person job and still wanted the same numbers in production. We lost workers due to the stress and hours ( seven days a week ) had went up and too many of us were frustrated upon not having much family time. I would say that if they get management in order than FCC would be a top notch place to work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It's a great paying job, you got a guaranteed 40+ hours, great leadership, and great People to Work with. So a 👍's up most DEFINITELY!!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing really probably just the stress of everyday normal going to work life

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is great with good people, cleanliness, and a excellent work culture

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day is like me going in doing my how many ever hours and come home happy, in a good mood. It is kinda like going in working and talking to slpeople getting in therapy N not even knowing it lol.

Bad management from the top down, everything from decision making to simple things like being professional is too much to ask for from this place. If your a woman u will be judged based on your "looks" behind your back and if you report it it will be ignored. For everyone else it's either do what ur told or they do what they can to get u to quit. Money is decent but not worth the day to day stress of working here. I have never worked at a place with such a low morale.i worked there 2 and a half years and not a single person wanted to be there. If your someone who doesn't care and is just looking for a paycheck, this is it for u, but if any bone in your body cares about how you are treated as a worker or person, find somewhere else.

This is the worst company I have ever worked for . They have their favorites and go with what other employees say. Will let you go at the drop of a hat and not very personal. Have no empathy of your feelings and your concerns and worry mean nothing . The interview process is a front to get you In the door and as soon as they get you there . They treat you so unfair their management is awful and has no respect for you at all they feel like they can talk down
To you and treat you any type of way.If you are short tempered and quick to pop off I suggest you stay away because this company is the type of company that would get you locked up! This is why they have a high turnover .... unprofessional and just flat out rude !!!


This place says that they want to implement things but will not take the steps necessary to do so.  This is ingrained in the Top leadership culture. 

If you are in management position it is on you to hit the ground running as a manager should.  However the resources needed many times are not available.  

When you challenge the norms and give them honest feedback on why you are leaving a three week notice and continue to work towards closing out things you started working on they will lie about you.  Give you a bad reviews. They will lie about you if you leave. 

They will pretend that you’re doing what you are supposed to but never give you any feedback on what you are doing.
