GEORG FISCHER

What is the best part of working at the company?
 During the hottest part of the Summer, the company gives extra breaks.  Employees also get showered with frozen electrolyte pops and an occasional frozen drink.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part is working machines that have the production pace pre-programmed into the machine by maintenance.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I asked for reasonable accommodation after about 10 months working for the company and was terminated immediately thereafter.  Otherwise, work areas cleaner and safer than average.  Hard, productive work is rewarded through advancement, pay raises and opportunities for overtime.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical days are fast paced and intense.  Breakdowns are common  but maintenance usually fixes problems quickly.

Georg Fischer is the best company I have worked for.  I feel respected and valued with this company.  The workload is constant and requires full attention to detail in any role.  GF is constantly looking for ways to compensate appropriately and to reward high performers with advancement opportunities.  The roles are challenging but manageable for those who are willing to put in the work.

Currently, we have a new management team that is working to provide coaching opportunities for those who really do want growth.  They are developing plans to structure expectations for performance, attendance, and behavior to create a clearer path for success.


I worked in 205, riser assembly. Arrive at 7 AM and not a minute later or you receive 1/2 a point. Team lead tells you the things we will be doing for the day. Then we get to work doing things such as auto welding, crimping, press machine operation, and painting. They only open the vents for you sometimes, when the weather is nice. Despite that weld smoke is burning and spray paint is permeating the air. I left most days with a head or stomach ache. Other people don't seem to mind it but I can almost guarantee that place is terrible for your health. A handful of girls I knew caught respiratory infections after working there. If you take any unscheduled, UNPAID PTO for emergencies they will force you to take it out of your vacation time.

Work-life balance
They will point you for leaving sick or leaving to tend to a child or family member. There is no work/life balance at GF

Pay & benefits
they over tax and make you over pay for health insurance.

Job security and advancement
They will throw you on a line with no training and expect you to know what to do.

Management
All of the managers have zero people skills they talk to their employees like they are slaves.

Overall
I worked there for almost 2 years and loved it until I got a team lead who had zero people skills and a manager who was his best friend so you couldn't talk to either of them about personal problems and they point you for tending to family needs or being sick. Also they will fire you for being 1 minute late. In total this place is just worried about getting parts out and not providing for their employees

Easily the best workplace culture I have ever experienced, all employees get along well and nobody is excluded. Extremely diverse staff, as many employees came from varied European branches of the company.

The 401K matching is great, Life insurance is provided and health insurance includes an option for a HSA. Many programs to promote lifestyle mindfulness, such as reimbursement for gym memberships and allowance for alternative transportation or carpooling. Also annual bonuses based on company profits and department performance.

Try to negotiate high when you are brought on board, because while there are frequent opportunities to advance to higher paid positions, the annual wage increase tends to only just compensate for predictable currency inflation.

The management is so poor, that the people that started on a Monday, do not make it to that following Friday. A very high turnover rate at this place from people getting wrote up for some of the most ignorant reasons. You would start out on night shift and if a day shift position comes open, the company will not let you have a chance to get it. Every manager thinks that YOU can be very easily replaced. They expect you to work every weekend but will only pay you straight time. There is absolutely no overtime. If you do work overtime make sure that you do not work any more than 40 hours and will have you take off work when it is not convenient for you.

The work environment is professional and international, with skilled colleagues and collaborative teams. One of the most valuable aspects is the opportunity to work on global projects and interact with different functions across the organization.
The company offers a stable environment and good exposure to complex industrial products and technologies. It can be a good place to grow professionally, especially for people interested in working in an international industrial context.
Like in many large organizations, decision-making processes can sometimes be slow and internal structures can be quite complex. However, overall it is a solid company with a strong reputation and a generally positive working environment.


What is the best part of working at the company?
Competitive pay for technicians and other critical skilled labor.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Always understaffed. Poor leadership.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
New boss in town trying to drive culture change. Culture is not good right now. A lot of opportunities because there are a lot of problems. Fast paced manufacturing.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My skill set is in extremely high demand, so I am overwhelmed with work. Always understaffed and low on experienced skilled labor, so there are a lot of mistakes for me to address. I nearly jog from task to task.

GF Central Plastics of Shawnee,OK iswhere dreams go to die. If you want a so called "career" with Harassment from upper management, HR Co workers. Not only harassment, discrimination, hostile work environment, Mainly in department 104. Why? because there is a "boss" rather than a leader running plastics. Plastics department management treat their employees like the are expendable. They don't care for the employees. why do you think the benefits are so good? 'Cause the job blowsidn't get paid enough to put up with the bull that goes on in that building. The people there are so corrupt and greedy, it makes me sick.

As an intern, you understand that you will get work which is considered the boring work including scanning papers, entering data into spreadsheets etc. If you show you are willing to help and always seek an opportunity to learn you will be given those opportunities. Georg Fischer is full of a ton of amazing people who are always willing to help you with a problem you may have. In my experience, you will never be left out on an island to survive alone here. 

Georg Fischer is an amazing place to work with many great people to work with. You have a chance to grow within the company if you put in the work and show what you can truly do.
