GRI Towers Texas

GRI Renewable Industries and Gestamp Wind Steel are both wonderful companies to work for. However, their new US venture in Amarillo, TX is far from ranking as high as other facilities around the world. 
I have been with the company from the beginning of production, and have seen lapses in integrity that I do not agree with or will conform to. These decisions are coming from local management and representing the company, as a whole, in a bad light. 
I do not feel comfortable in the situation I've been put in, but others may see differently.

A typical day is a lot of getting threatened with being fired, you will have to self teach yourself the jobs, management is absolutely horrible. The employees are all pretty great guys, and fun to work with,  the hardest part of working there is you are treated like you are worthless by management, the most enjoyable part of the job is leaving at the end of your shift.

It started out with great benefits then that was changed to the most horrible insurance on the market. The managers are horrible and the production manager at the time was a tyrant. Conditions are so bad that the employees unionized and the company still treated the crew like second class citizens, and safety don't get me started because i am supprised no one has been killed. If you like being treated like a sorry dog then this is the place for you. What ever you do stay far away from this factory. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

This company brings in foriners from other countries to help out and treat them like gold . They can mess up all of the time and nothing happens, but let an American worker mess up and they will fire you. If you have a concern or complaint the formen does not seem to care. I work in area 3 where everything goes to get fixed . The boss welder's are supposed to weld the bosses 30 mills apart and never do . The formen never seems to say anything to the welder's about it.

My experience with GRI was really painful and nothing to write home about as Management was very insensitive and inhuman to her employees. Infact, most supervisors are to be blamed for everything because they hold their jobs like it is the last bus stop for them thereby hurting their subordinates 

The payment at nightshift it’s ok, but the culture from internal to production its not good, the communication it’s never clear, most of the time they take everything to personal, at long as you do your job with out making to many mistakes you will be fine, and also never trust internal people they could be very passive aggressive 

Doesnt matter what you do, nobody knows who is the plant manager because he doesn’t care about employees. They are bringing a lot of foreigners to get the job done but the foreigners are causing a lot of problems and management doesnt care. This is the worst job that I had in my life.

In our city it is hard to find an opportunity with a company from the ground up. this place is a great place to work and retire . to get in on the ground floor of an operation is truly a once in a generation treat in Amarillo.

Poor management at time if your lazy you fit in  hard work and dedication mean nothing to them 
If you good with supervisor you can pretty much do what you want

1st and 2nd shift are great to balance life and work but aren’t very good with hours. Downside to my experience is if your good at your job they wont move you up.
