What is the best part of working at the company?
Company wise nothing. But they're some hourly people that are pretty good people. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Company direction. Example. Supposed to know on Wednesday if we work Saturday or Sunday. Some times they will some times won't. And even if they do they will come to u on Friday and change to working or not working. Just example. But much more extreme lack of direction 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not very good, the idea or feeling is it's an us vs them. The managers or salary employees are looked at as an "enemy" (enemy is a bit strong of a word tho) the words from  hourly employees " they don't know what their doing, they just say anything, they say they're gunna fix it but never do, nothing changes unless u keep asking or telling them about it" Ive heard those exact words from atleast 250 people 


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on your job title. As an operator you simply run your machine, make your labels for bin, check your parts, right your hourly number down do that 8 hours n go home.

Only thing good about this job was 1st shift start at 6am out at 2:30 pm. It’s hot the work load is huge. Temp employees should be advised that you are going to be lifting heavy objects, moving non stop. If you do not meet expected production numbers you work the weekend. Equipment was usually under repair and not functioning. If you don’t catch on at any point in time they’ll move you around the shop and eventually out the door. I came in through a temp agency did 90 days got sick a couple of times and it was held against me (time wise) got the OK to hire in got the physical (hernia check is mandatory) came to work late two days  later (6 mins)  and they ended my assignment for missed time. If you haven’t been there for years don’t expect for anyone to help you learn the work station and process unless it’s a shift lead which they are pulled in every direction. This was at the canton Michigan location. Pay at the time was 16$ an hour isn’t worth it  but needed a paycheck 

This company have no foundation Management is terrible they, keep firing all managements teams about every year and they bring worse ones.
They have good working technical staff that under paid that they take advantage of, they cant keep their production on schedule due to bad treatment and low pay for operators.
they don't buy any spare parts, if something goes down you have to wait for weeks to get replacement,
I worked there for three years and every year they replace their plant management and they get worse ones same with other key players.

no up keep on their equipments and if you ask for PM no one understand what that means.
they brought a manager from a grocery store to run the plan and he fired every one and then he got fired himself.
Big turn around and management don't have a clue or the experience how an Auto Supplier need to run.

Hr been replaced 8 times since I worked their and they are all racist 

The company took on a bunch of business early and had growing pains. The Management team is focused on increasing efficiencies and communications across the board. Before COVID, there were cook outs for the employees, birthday celebrations and baby showers for the soon to be parents. GNS America is a great place to work if you want to make good money starting out, with the ability to grow and move up. Medical Benefits are the best I have seen in the area, Tuition reimbursement and training is paid for by the company if you are looking to further your skill level or education in the industry. On Hot days in the summer, they have popsicles, water and sweat towels. 

I started as a temp and was hired as soon as my agency term was complete. There is a lot to learn for someone who has not worked in manufacturing, but overall the work is not hard. The pay is competitive for the area and the benefits are outstanding. I paid almost twice as much out of pocket benefit cost at my last employer. The management is very hands on and spends a lot of time on the floor. The company pays for school if it applies to your job, which allows for advancement. The hardest part of my is learning their computer system. I enjoy many of the people I work with daily.     

I Worked at this location for over five years I was forced out of my position and replaced by someone with less then a year’s experience. 
Was told by management and corporate hr that seniority and ability to do my job, was a non factor. Management shows favoritism to certain employees and hr dose nothing to correct it. If you have an employee problem there is no way to reach hr to rectify issues.
They will change your schedule in a day’s notice and could care less if it’s an inconvenience to you. No raises, holiday bonuses, there are absolutely no perks working for this company. A company with no morals or respect for their employees….

Management is just as confused as the employees. They claim their a new company. 7 or 8 years. I'm glad I didn't waste too much time here. Management claims that there is room for advancement but I didn't see any. I'm a machine tool builder and they had me operating a machine but needed me to actually help maintain the assembly lines. 

Can be hot asf on the warehouse floor. Working with hot metal and car parts, while having machines that mess up constantly can be annoying as well. The ppl that work there were cool asf for the most part though.  Decent ppl that work there but it’s hot asf in there depending on where your stationed. The hardest part of the job is lifting heavy, hot, car parts, while trying not to burn a whole in your gloves.

I actually give gns North America a great review actually I think the staff there does a great job as well and I really do commend the staff and the workers at GNS of North America I give how do I say it I give credit to where credit is deserved they actually do a great job and they work together greatly as a team when in need.

Toxic work environment. If you are not willing to work more than 40 hours a week, they try to get rid of you. They do not follow safety protocols, they barely train you and management treats their employees like dogs. Very restrictive breaks, and it’s really hot in the plant, you get dehydrated working your 12 hour shifts. Worst part is that after they don’t train you, they blame employees for everything that goes wrong.
