Pros

Outstanding team, I like almost all my coworkers and it feels like a family; Flexible on hours (salaried only) as long as you get the job done; Management is proactive, forward-thinking, and listens to/understands your concerns; Bad coworkers are weeded out not just ignored; Employee expectations are generally realistic; company appears to be in good financial shape; layoffs are a last resort, and are targeted towards mediocre performers.

Cons

A little too much cynicism, both in office and production floor; Sometimes the company bites off more than can be chewed (but sometimes grows more teeth by it); Some people (fewer every year) have old-school mentality that hurts quality capability; Pay isn't competitive with local salaries for engineers; not enough vacation for very new employees; Communication could use some work.

Typical day at work in the office is between 7:00am - 5:00pm work fluctuates from busy to no work at all you end up doing miscellaneous work. 

Work itself is interesting and fun, the struggle in the department I work in is the cliques, they got a solid group of people that has been there from day 1 built the processes from the ground up, it is outdated (sad to say) and you will see/feel it once you start to explore the technical side.

I lost my enthusiasm because of the lack of intention to embrace the current technology most companies are using. Management style is also a little too constricting.

I would say the most enjoyable part of the job is seeing the parts you make digitally made to reality.

I worked here for a while, only to see that no matter how hard you worked, you were never appreciated. I finally realized why, they were never a minority company. I was so glad to become an employer there, because I was able to work where 3 of my family members were employed for many years. The managers just sat around waiting for you to mess up a piece of material so they could find a reason to move you to another area, then eventually out the door. I enjoyed my time there, but once you have something going on not dealing with your job, you can forget coming back. The company itself is old and in need of repairs, especially the machines.

A typical day at work would be setting up a job for a customer , reading the blue print and program to cut the part what the customer needs . I learn a lot everyday by cutting different types of material and ways to make the part come out as perfect as possible . Our work place culture has always been positive everyone gets along and works together. The hardest part of the job is being able to produce the amount of parts the customer needs with a limited amount of machinery. 

A typical day at GM Nameplate was busy. As an Inspector, I had to inspect and package labels and placards in preparation for shipment. The department I was in was always busy and fast-paced. The people were great to work with. There was a lot of diversity at GM Nameplate, so I was exposed to many cultures. I enjoyed the people I worked with and really felt that upper management was just awesome! People were very friendly there and I enjoyed my time with the company.

I worked there 19 years, I was under paid new how to do everything in 2 departments, they show favoritism towards men, was harassed by an employee they did nothing about it, then I started getting harassed by plant manager and HR over family issues and an injury I sustained while working there, they don’t care about the employees, horrible place to work.  Corporate is the same they don’t do anything.  The whole company is awful.

The offsite Warehouse had many perks to it. We bust butt early and coast the rest. Shipping has small complications but once you get the hang of it you are good to go. It was just 3 of us at the warehouse so you do more than just your job but the team knew how to get everything done with no issue. Just keep checking the weather and dress accordingly. Winters are brutal and summers are scorching inside the building.

GM nameplate is a manufacturing company. It’s very small and doesn’t much benefits for the part time people but full time people do get them. Pay is ok but could be better. But again very small and old place. Not much room for advancement because the same people have been there for years. And your normally working a 9-5 and no weekends unless you need to come iN on a Saturday. So not to bad of a job just slack benefits and pay

Walk in to work clock in go to work station I worked for the day. We had different work station tile I started working CNC.
I learned how to operate molding machins and operating Hass CNC machin.
hardest part of the job was there was no proper training so I had to learn most of jobs I did the hard way.
I enjoyed being around the good people that worked with me and the new thing I've learned.
