Worked here for 5+ years, had a lot of great coworkers (even most of the supervisors I worked under were great and encouraging), decent pay and health benefits, and the work was pretty easy, but the burnout became all too real after a while. Working 10+ hours 5-7 days a week in a hot, filthy factory, filled with harmful smoke, with no type of performance and/or attendance bonuses, no incentives at all actually, except a $500 (before taxes) Christmas bonus, and no work/life balance, I had to give up on this place. I know times got tough after COVID, but this place used to treat you somewhat like family, and they were able to keep hard workers, now because of low morale, all the hard workers are realizing their worth and leaving; they can’t even keep new workers longer than a week (some don’t even make it past lunch on their first day). Hopefully the higher ups can learn a thing or two around there about treating their money makers with some respect and appreciate them for all they do for this company, because as I know now, there are better options out there.

5 years working at saint claire shores location, was a good job to start, but as time went on it just got worse, the shift leaders grew more temperamental, and the line leaders thought teaching the workers their daily routines, and having them fullfil them so they could have more time to lounge around was a motivation. The laziness and incompetence of the leaders is very  stressing, and the HR department was even more disappointing, I was in the same spot for 5 years doing all the work of people in higher spots than me only to be told there was no where to move to, its a dead end job, its a good place if you need a check, but not somewhere you would want to stay if you have plans, and the fact that even though they blame it on Covid, the overtime is always mandatory, including saturday and sunday, so if you're say a parent that enjoys weekends with the kids, don't count on it. All in all I'd say its an easy job, but its the incompetence of the people that are supposed to set up the employees for the day that makes it stressful and unfulfilling.

You get paid very well especially with the overtime you generally make over 1200 a week with it, Second shift is the more challenging shift because first shift depending on what building out of seven your in will most of the time leave their work unfinished putting you behind in your quota. Its best to come in 30 minutes early off the clock to assure you area is ready for production. That way you can order you missing parts while the first shift hi low is there and make sure your machine is cleaned and serviced so that there are less complication. This also makes it easier on the floor manager as the worst time to bother them is the first hour of your shift while they are trying to see who there and how the floor is going to run. if you come in early it takes the stress and keeps you from falling behind preparing your area for the potential delay first shift will leave.

Fischer Dynamics is a first class  supply company. There goal is to achieve the best quality products and service as a supplier to all automotive companies. They have been in business three to four generations with great success. Fischer Dynamics uses state of the art technology and equipment for producing high quality products. I usually work 10 to 12 hours a day and they do offer training in which I learned to calibrated and repair specialized equipment and machinery that I was unfamiliar with. some of the co workers were great to work with and some were not. the hardest part of the job  was to keep up when you have three building you are responsible for at a fast pace. when time permits you are to receive specialized training to keep up with any new or changes of equipment or any new machinery. I enjoyed doing something new all and different all the time.

Look, if you go in knowing they expect too much production from a single person an hour, and that,really, they are happy for what you're able to give them because they KNOW they ask too much then you'll love this place. If you're the type that likes to feel complete accomplishment in your work then you may run yourself ragged (literally) trying to catch that production carrot. Just understand that going in. They train you over a few days, no experience needed. Then if you keep showing up they'll keep giving you the hours you want. Overall not a bad place to work. Make sure you wear your safety sleeves and ear plugs. 

Company is poorly ran, very disorganized and no communication. Pay is terrible for the amount of work that you are expected to produce daily.  If you hit your numbers for the day too often they will increase your productivity rates to un realistic numbers.  Good luck trying to talk to hr if you have problems cuz they could care less. If you are out on medical w a doc note you still get penalized in attendance,  and 8f u try to use your unpaid personal time they will deny it and still give you unexcused absence.  If you are in the hospital good luck. They will do everything in their power including lying on paper to keep you from collecting unemployment.  Basicly everyone I worked with all walked off the line and quit 

Fisher Dynamics is a place you can rent yourself out to and it will pay the bills for a young person starting out. The human resources person is vindictive, and a complete liar. Politics play a big role if you ever want to advance in the company. They often misrepresent themselves on future business and make it hard for someone to make any type of long term plans, regarding their career. That being said the management team from the shift supervisor on up, is as just and fair as any I've seen in a factory environment. It is an unusual mix of positive and despicable traits one has to deal with working for this company.

Worst place I have ever worked at they try to point and write you up for everything constant fear tactics you have a heart attack and hit the floor at work guess what pointed yet stupidvisors and hr come and go as they please and we get treated like dirt how is it an equal opportunity employer if nothings equal hr stupidvisors know each other outside of work they run the whole business and cover each other's ignorant decision making  no advancement  no raises and we're under paid yet the owners make billions running employees into the ground  working twelve hrs seven days a week operators make the company the big money but get treated the worst and paid the least and favoritism out of control huge turnover rate wonder why they just don't care about there employees . . .can you say union

A typical day at Fisher is always busy. I didn't learn anything that I didn't already know about the automotive field. I've been in the automotive filed / plant life for a little over 15 years. The only thing that I learned from Fisher that I took with me was how to weld thanks to one of my co- workers. He taught me to weld in under three days for an internal interview for a position that was becoming available. I interviewed and was told that your welding looks as good as these guys do that have been doing it. Needless to say that they chose another candidate. Certain aspects of the job leave different positions spread to thin on the production floor.What kept me so long was the employees and my co- workers . Great group of people to work with.There was no part hard part for the job.

The company and management Do Not care for the employee at all.They don't trest theor employe as a human being.
They thorugh their decision on employee and never care if it legit or doable.They only care for their production target.
Specially the plant manager of troy os really a bad person with worse management skill.
And the supervisor is like,he will treat everyone differently, people who butter him is good orherwise it doesn't matter how hard yoy work,he won't even ask you how are you.
And the most important thing is those vacation and paid leave etc are only on paper,they never give you any day off.
On my personal case,i asked for my yearly religious vacation for just one day ,ome month in prior,but they didn't allowed my day off when i had 6 day offs.
