GITI Tire USA Ltd

A typical day consisted of sustained physical labor moving rubber and chemicals onto mixer conveyor belts, and sending them into the machine. Documentation was to be kept for when the recipes were started, ended, how many were made, and what kind they were. After the work was done, you were to check locations relative to the machine in order to empty hydraulic oil bins to prevent overflowing the mezzanine on which they sat. I learned how to operate and maintain the machines at my position through effort, and hands-on training. Workplace culture consists mainly of most people being dissatisfied with the lack of pay increases due to the painfully slow process of certification, as well as ever-increasing standards of reaching said certification. There were numerous difficulties associated with the job. The first being the unreliability of the machinery. Down time is frequent, and in some cases, long, due to faults in either the machinery, or the process associated with specific details regarding individual recipes. The second biggest issue was the overburdening of individual operators. Due to being shorthanded, you will often see operators being made to operate machines by themselves at decreased efficiency. This problem is exacerbated when the machine has an issue with the batch being processed, which in some cases, is very often, leading to additional down time, and cleanup on the part of the mixing crew. Another major issue is safety. Employee safety is aggressively encouraged on paper, yet beyond these fanciful demonstrations, workers are told to keep up production speed by nearly any means, even if this entails bypassing safety measures in order to prevent the stopping of the production line. The work was physically demanding, and emotionally draining due to the long nature of the shifts. Part of what made these shifts even less bearable, was mandatory overtime. Periodically on one of your days off, you would be required to come in for overtime and work another twelve hour shift, leaving you only one day for rest and responsibilities in between your next work days. This was very irritating for a lot of people. As for what I found enjoyable. The employees at GITI were usually a positive part of the job. Most of the employees I worked with who didn't turnover quickly, were actually acceptably hardworking people, who were easy to talk to in order to pass the time. I felt that some coworkers made days easier due to their own competence, or their ability to keep each other entertained throughout the day. Other than that, the only real thing I liked about the work day was the hour break that the mixing department decided to have. I always thought the idea of sparse, spread out breaks was unwise, and that it would provide less recovery, seeing as the physical labor was very taxing. The hour long break that we were allowed once a shift was a good halfway mark, that gave you some breath back before returning to the shift.

This company is completely unorganized. The management staff does not communicate clearly what the maintenance crew is supposed to be doing. The maintenance crew is not recognized for all the hard work that is done daily to keep the production going including working on their days off being away from home and family.  There are no raises. And when asked about pay increases they always state that it is something that they are working on.  The company produces a lot of scrap material and thousands upon thousands of pounds of waste due to all of the mistakes made by poorly trained operators. Communication across departments is very poor. There are not enough operators to go around for each machine. There is a high employee turnover rate due to the fact that they refuse to give raises. HR is very unprofessional and racist.  They do not accept employee input and the work environment is like being in high school again. If someone doesn’t show up the rest of the crew is screwed and overwhelmed.

Overall I love working for the Giti company. I have amazing coworkers and all of the departments are welcoming to new employees. However upper management is a mass of debauchery. The Receiving supervisor has already been involved in numerous HR reports due to lack of professionalism and overall poor leadership skills. However the upper management team fails to take care of the situation and continues “offering chances for improvement”. I would recommend anyone to avoid the receiving department at all costs. The other areas are much more organized and professional. Be prepared for a daily inconsistency in processes, poor communication skills and a complete lack of positive leadership attitude. It is a daily struggle to remain positive about where I work due to such a downright pathetic excuse for a supervisor.

I worked at GITI for almost one year and while I worked there I was in production in the mixing department. I worked the highest paying production level job and was only paid as a forklift operator. I was promised for about 6 months without success that I would be paid for the job that I was performing. Not only was I not paid for the job I was doing but I also had to run my machine (which requires two people) solo sometimes. This in combination with the fact that you are forced to work overtime really makes this company impossible to tolerate. Workers like me don't appreciate being consistently exploited like I was when I worked at GITI. For obvious reasons I quit such a horrible job. Another thing worth pointing out is that I knew a few people who were getting paychecks 1-3 weeks late I kid you not and HR made the problem worse because they would seemingly lose track of direct deposit forms that were turned in to them.

In the beginning this was a dream job.  The company was focused on growing and cared about their employees as if they were family.  Five short years later the company goes through a complete overturn of employees -- Sales management and sales team QUIT or are terminated and replaced with competitors leftovers.  Everyone fighting for a place in what is left of the company and trying to reinvent the wheel.  They open a new plant on the east coast and it just got worse.  The actual people who work for the company are wonderful and hard working.  When your HR manager leaves after 10 years and your Accounting manager leaves after 15 years, you should wake up and realize how toxic your company has become, but they don't.  I feel badly because they were an excellent company to work for 10 years ago.

In my time at Giti I was met with a job that required long hard hours of work with mediocre pay and a supervisor who was unfair and treated people different and not as equals. I was let go because of a simple mistake which other supervisors were making as well but got no punishment whatsoever. It was definitely a wrongful termination. This place expects a ton of work out of its employees but doesnt like to compensate for that level of work. No room for growth or advancement. This place is ran horribly. Honestly I dont think anyone knows whats going on here. Even managers and supervisors seem completely clueless. I would never recommend anyone to work here. Trust me you will dodge a bullet if you heed my words.

401k match is lowest of anywhere I've worked! 
HR is the worst I have ever worked with... totally in their own world and clueless as to how a major corp runs! If you want a job you have to continue to contact  them or you will be lost in the pile! Nothing changes even when concerns are brought to attention! No raises until at least after 1 year... dont believe anything you are told! Even if it's in writing... Chinese Culture is much different than US companies. 
Could be a good place to work if some changes are made in management areas.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing . If you like going to work where Human Resources is only for management and not for the employees a lot of back stabbing and lying going on coming from the management 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with the lying bcm’s and human resource employees !!! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The don’t care about the people who work there !!! 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Looking over your shoulder to make sure there’s no knives in  be your back

they suck. Lack of communication. They don't care about you or fulfill there promises. It's like high school meets but buddies in there. It's now about what you know. Its about who you know and who likes you. The money is ok if you get it, but if you don't than it isn't. The training is a joke and inconsistent. The start you out at 13 while other factories are starting you out at 17. They will work you 7 days a week with out a day off for months and you will have no rest or life.

Anything but typical, due to the fact they are still in a start up phase your duties may slightly change at any given moment.  The culture is very relaxed and self rewarding.  You must be disciplined because they do not hold your hand.  You have to be willing to speak up ask questions and be a part of the growth. The most enjoyable part is you have the opportunity to learn and as far as I am concerned you get in where you fit in but you must be self starter because there is no real structure.
