Gibbs Die Casting

You may not know this but Gibbs has made many changes in the last 5 years that are for the benefit of the company and the employees. The overall atmosphere is now quite positive and the safety program is first rate! The work can be physically demanding in the summer months but considering the benefits, vacations and compensation, it's a good place to work! Some of the positions require higher education/ college degree and are more mentally challenging but still require time on the production floor working in the the production environment which, again, is more physically challenging in the summer months. Most jobs have clear written work instructions that are generally easy to follow but still occasionally need simple clarifications. I enjoy the job and my coworkers are good, like minded folks who go out of their way to help! Good people, great place to work!!!!

Descent place to work,except machines leak all over floor(unlike any other factories I've worked),as this is only one who hasn't learned to put machines in big trays,makes for slippery unsafe floors,non-green environment using gas fork trucks still Instead  of electric ones,work loads in building(Comac)are uneven,meaning some people work their bottoms  off(line loaders etc.)while others got time to lollygag,sleep in makeshift offices (fluid fillers etc).It's an air conditioned building alright (unevenly distributed air flow)some easier jobs,have air like a jet stream,while other jobs(back of 055)slippery floors,and burn up like" h e double hockey stick in  summer months.I guess you can get used to it after a while,but there was a need for an HONEST review here!Could be alot worse (Tyson)where I wouldn't send a sick dog to work!

First off you need to know that the place is hot and dirty.  And getting injured is easier that any other place I have worked at. They have "onsite"( meaning at one building) nurse. And first and foremost they worry about "lost time". They don't really care so much about you. As they do that they have to record the "incident " which also counts against you. And everything is your fault. Regardless. So you have to watch out for yourself. Because they won't!!! They pay is low, but if you manage to stay.... the longer you stay the better it gets. But the starting pay could be a lot better. 

I would go in wait for the supervisor to tell me what press to go to, the go to work, maybe talk to the shift before hand about any issues if there was anybody at the press. It was always hot in the building, especially in the summertime, no air conditioning, except in break rooms and office. None of my supervisors told me I was doing a good job, ever, which isn't a big deal, but they made you feel like a complete idiot, instead of trying to tell you what you were doing wrong or right. And I couldn't have a decent conversation about any ideas that I had about improving my work because that was apparently too outside of the box for them. I worked for these two companies for over a year and thought I was actually doing a good/decent job and I got fired by deception from both places. Will never work for them again, if I can help it, unless they change some people and policies.

Typical day at work was getting parts off of a line, inspecting them and passing them onto the next line so they could be machined. Learned a lot about how to inspect and fix faulted out machines, and how to clean up coolant and oil. Management was terrible, they only cared about the amount of parts that got out and did not care for their associates, although they did push safety a lot. Culture was great. Made a lot of good friends there. Hardest part of the job was consistently being in a spot I did not want to be in and not being able to be moved. Most enjoyable part was the friends I made there.

First of all they are sexist.  Women always get the easier jobs. Expect to do very repetitive jobs and (depending on what station you're at) expect to get injured and still be expected to do the job.  At my station my hands were burned (several burn blisters) despite having two pairs of gloves, my wrists were very sore to point of barely being able to move them (from repetitive motions).  About half the time I couldn't see properly (also very dangerous) because of sweat in my eyes or on my goggles because you are forced to where foam lined goggles that get drenched in sweat.  In a 12 hour shift you get 1 hour in total breaks.  It's honestly one of the most miserable jobs you could do and you could see it on the faces and in the eyes of those that worked there.  The pay and benefit is the ONLY good thing.

No training program provided. You have too do the best you can with whatever you can get someone too explain. McDonald’s is paying higher wages starting out than some here are making topped out. The company can do better. Machines need a lot of work. High turnover is killing production. Would really like too see some changes but the powers that be won’t budge!

I made it through 2 weeks before it just got to be too much for me. Unless you can work fast and constant, this isn't for you. People were nice and helpful for the most part. Managers work on being mentors. There was training but it goes quick so you dont start off comfortably doing your job. If you can tough it out, things get better. 

 the people I work with are all helpful my supervisor and leads are very helpful and really go out of their way to help you. Let me be very clear if your wanting a easy job that u can slack off in, text your buddies , show up,  late call in, work just the 40 hours and has air-conditioning this job is not for you. The work isn't physically hard but we do work alot of overtime and yes just cause it is Saturday stuff still has to be done and a lot of reason is people don't show up for their shifts and stay shorthanded. It's a job for people who want to make money and work period. 

Clock in, look at the chart to see where you are assigned for the shift. Go to your area and find out from the lead what machine you're assigned to. Then your team will work together the best way they see fit. Depends on the people assigned to that area, because some times you trade up at break time for a different assignment in your work area.Teamwork makes the dream work.
