General Fasteners Company

This job started out decently, but went downhill pretty quickly. So many of my co-workers dealt with unreasonable management. A couple of the managers' actions toward their employees were horrific. One of the CSR managers was so awful to an employee, she had to be moved to a different position. If you want to be belittled, mocked, yelled at, harassed, etc- this is your place (at least the customer service position is). Reporting the issue to HR won't do much- they don't really care about the issues that go on within the company. The turnover at GFC is unreal. The new system being used is causing more problems, that customers are ready to use someone else. Not only do the managers talk about their subordinates behind their back, they talk about each other as well, so it is really hard to put any kind of trust in them. This place is a train wreck, and I advise you stay far away!

Management does not listen to any of their workers period. You're not allowed to talk about pay scale, and this is because the people you train and are brought in long after you will get paid more regardless of how much knowledge you have and how much more you do. You can be a great worker and not get hired for years but they will hire around you. Management as a whole is unprofessional and they curse at their workers. Raises are horrendous if you even get one. You will not be recognized for your hard work and dedication.
The new system is failing and it isn't a secure job because it depends largely on the flux and flow of their customers.
The ONLY upside of this company is the insurance. Other than that, I would not recommend this as a place of work to anyone.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working my co-workers besides that the general manager, upper management, and HR were horrible.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
General Manager, upper management, and HR thinks everyones replaceable. They never have the employees backs, computer systems go down at least more than three times a week where it interferes the work processes. Very unethical and unprofessional company to work for.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
No structure, and flying by the seat of your pants. Training was horrible, and employees felt like they had no voice.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Not knowing what your walking into, no plans, no structure. Sometimes computer systems wouldn't work, which slow things down.

My day always started with a phone call to my inside sales person, we discussed my schedule for the day and any issues with customers.  I learned to work with engineering departments.  Management was non-existent.  If I had an issue with a customer, I dealt with it on my own, management was not available for assistance. I relied on my inside co-workers and they did not disappoint.  The hardest part was always having to inform a customer their account was on credit hold.  The most enjoyable was receiving a purchase order.

I enjoyed working at the Madison Heights Engineering Center.  The director and engineers were always quick to provide assistant when needed.  I learn to read and understand fluently, drawings, specifications, materials, and the proper material structure to conduct my daily job duty.   
My job duties were filing, email, shipping out lab equipment for calibration, maintaining calibration log, maintaining supply inventory, shipping samples, and assisted with projects.
The Engineering Center is a very enjoyable place to work.

Zero training. You have to hope that you find the one person who's actually willing to help. Uneven workloads. Some people would have to work 12 hours and stil be overwelmed while others barely did anything during the 8-5. Salary is a joke and the raises are almost nonexistent. People like to say "that's not my job" when you ask for help. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only best part was I got to work remotely.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part was the lack of direction in training. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
At first it was good environment but a few changes were made in management. This made the environment very much terrible, lake of actual leadership, no sense of direction and terrible communication.

During epidemic they force u to work doesn’t provide safety tools needed to work to stop the spread of the virus nobody is practicing social distancing there’s no sanitizer or wipes they said they can’t get them lol they won’t provide paid sick leave or hazardous pay for being forced to work and threaten to terminate you if you don’t shoe company is terribly managed from the supervisor to the branch manager no stability constantly switching  managers

Poor management & unequal job dispersion . They hire people in at about the same hrly wage as somebody that's been there for years.
Ask them about the "monkey file that used to be on their T-drives. Tell the "monkeys " what they want to hear to keep them passified. They'll deny it but I've actually seen it before they removed it

If you value having a life of any sort outside of work, this is NOT the place for you. They claim to care and be understanding but they aren’t. There’s no structure, it’s chaotic, incredibly dysfunctional, and just an all around mess. There’s zero communication, no training WHATSOEVER and the managers are completely clueless. This environment is horrible. Absolutely horrible.
