Fair warning. I had high hopes for this job, but they only care about numbers and not the people/person. Even with over a decade of experience in the same industry, they expected way too much from the get and they want you to be trained within a week or two on how to do the task they assigned you. I was tasked on a particularly tedious and long process from start to finish. One trainer and zero patience from superiors, from my experience. No structural support, whatsoever.  Apparently, I didn't work fast enough for them to work on the line. Fired me due to my "performance", their training structure is outdated and they need to realize that it takes time to get to the expectations they want you at, even with over a decade of experience and they want you to learn, know the whole process and also be fast within a week or two, is very unorthodox. They set a high bar with little to subpar support from the higher ups. I definitely DODGED a bullet, that's for sure. 

Gentex was supportive of me from the beginning.  I appreciated the opportunities to learn the products that were made by Gentex and their commitment to continuous quality improvement.  I was encouraged in their approach to investigative engineering solutions and cooperation with government auditors within established guidelines.  I am no longer working at Gentex in California, because of a family move to Arizona.

Depending on which area you work in, there's a lot of favoritism. You can be on time, hard working, and get paid the same as someone that's lazy/careless. It's very cliquey. A lot of drama in the work place. Supervisors sleeping with production workers etc. They put on this facade that they care about you when in reality you are just a worker bee. If you have no life, no kids and love being burnt out and underpaid this job is perfect for you. 

Will dismiss you without ever being written up, no points against you and never providing proof of what you did wrong but will tell you that you done wrong. Was fired without given or provided proof of their accusations. Never been written up and held 0 points on their point scale of 15. I was upset but didn't stress it since i was already becoming miserable working there. I let it go and moved on.

You start as a temp. It is unclear when you will be hired and when I was hired I didn't get a wage increase. You don't get a review and wage increase all year and you may or may not get a wage increase annually. I liked the hours. The people were nice. They have a good schedule with every other Friday off but the pay is low and not much of a chance for advancement.

Take it for what it is and it's not a bad place. Upper management is lacking. Sole focus is share price. Employees are easily expendable. They try to promote a good culture but have no interest in implementing it. Decent job but not a career.

This company sucks...100% turnover...your lord to from the begining. If you want to transfer to another dept you have to quit..they won't let anyone transfer because they keep anyone, due to their own ignorance...get a paper route..you get harressed by management..you are set up to fail.

A 
Great  experience working there
Alot to learn I had good management team that was willing to teach us the right requirements that I needed to learn.there was alot of new employers but willing to learn .

Overall not a bad place.  Very nice employee benefits. Take good care of employees.  Managers will help you work through issues, both personal and professional. 

Learn and add to your skills by professional management team, help you to train and improve your skills in regular basis such as six sigma training and certificates
