FUCHS Lubricants

If you're considering a maintenance position at FUCHS, ask detailed questions during the interview about training, certifications, tools, and scheduling.
Months into my employment, I still have not been provided with the basic tools needed to do my job, including a multimeter and a standard maintenance tool set. I also have not received certifications for equipment I was expected to work around. It's frustrating to be held accountable for maintaining production equipment without being given the resources or training to perform the job effectively.
Another concern was scheduling. What was presented as occasional Saturday work gradually became mandatory Saturdays, making work-life balance much different than what I expected.
The maintenance team works hard, but management needs to invest more in employee development, proper onboarding, and providing technicians with the equipment and certifications they need to succeed. Future employees should make sure they get clear answers—in writing if possible—about the tools they'll receive, required certifications, overtime expectations, and weekend schedules before accepting an offer.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people you work with. The work to life balance is horrible and management does not value their employees!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Overworked and underpaid! They expect you to do the work of more than one and do not pay adequately compared to other companies in the same industry! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very stressful and the morale is extremely low! They do not hesitate to fire loyal employees and promote those that suck up to management. Very too heavy- too many Vice Presidents and managers that do not really know their roles and put their workloads on their subordinates! 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start at 7 am and finish around 7 pm. They take advantage and overwork salaried employees!

Very poor management,unstable work environments,Poor lighting, Very poor work culture, very underpaid,Very High school environment, not for grown adults to work!! No PPE !! Nonones held accountable , Compounders do all the work with no say on there production orders or flow of pace!! There are Felons and pedophiles in management! They are outdated and not OSHA. Approved!! EPA was ran out by old Plant Manager!! He didn't return till a 2nd degree burn was reported and documented!! Injuries are common!! They don't care about you!! They are racist and Trump supporters!! Who really run a new age plantation!!

Company was a good company to work for & stood by employees. If I fired a person, the company would stand behind me. I also did interviews for new employees & hired them. Being a work person all the time person & not taking sick days I left the company with 96 days of which no pay was or would be given. Use them or loss them at the end of your employment. Was giving my retirement of 165,000.00 of which I didn't put anything into & given 1 years salary at time of leaving.

Working here was a pleasure , many intelligent people the surrounding was fun but very businesslike, this job was a multi task job, I learned many new ways to do various jobs however the training staff was not very informative ,it was kind of learn as you go procedures and a "have to catch on quickly" situation
Best part of my day was being able to learn and catch on to anything that was placed on my desk.

Prior to 2017, if you were part of Customer Service, you had to clock out just to go to the restroom.  No bonus for non-sales person, and zero incentives to work hard.  Bosses will frequently steal your ideas and bring it to the top.  Work place is all about politics, and kissing the rear, if you have a good idea, however the upper management would have to work, then shot down and target on your back.  I have worked for 6 companies in the past, and by far the worst is Fuchs.  

It’s a mixed bag here. If you work in HR/customer solutions, you will be heralded as the most valuable aspect of the company. 

If you work in the lab (besides R&D) or the plant you will be forgotten about & your issues will be brushed to the side. 

Middle management is a problem here, as was having to jump through hoops simply to get different departments to work together. Company has been making huge cuts that serve to harm their employees. 

Also…executive parking is closer to the door than handicapped parking. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Paid weekly that’s it toxic environment 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The graveyard shift was horrible 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic environment older employees who have been there 20-30 yrs treat the new employees like trash 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hot and working with harsh chemicals that irritate your skin lungs and eyes

Heavy long term top management  with all actions suiting their own independent agendas securing their long term $$ and future. All others considered expendable. No substantial change in 15 years on both material performance and culture even though the window dressing of caring and empowerment etc, are used as slogans and goals. Good move appointing new president outside those well entrenched. We will see what comes of it.
