GPC is a very fast paced setting with great co-workers for the most part. Management team is great and largely misunderstood as stuck up bad communicators. GPC offers a lot of experiences that are essential to become a hard, dependable worker. The fast-paced day to day work will put any new person on their seat. If you don't have great patience, communication skills, collaboration skills, get lazy or don't show up on time I strongly recommend not to even call. Anybody can get hired, but the only ones that stay and possibly move up are the people advanced in those areas as well as the career you apply for. I will not raises are rarely given and it is hard to obtain promotions. If you get close with management that may give an advantage if you have all of the other traits as well. The bosses do practice favoritism and assign work back to back.

If you want to deal with the worst bathrooms I have seen in my entire life and be fired via a text message for no reason on your day off then this is the place for you!
But seriously though unless you just need a quick job and some overtime dont bother working here.  Experienced guys especially dont bother applying because they hire like 20% real welders and the other 80% literally dont know a thing about fabrication.  It was a well managed circus the entire time.  I dont think the supervisors were bad honestly but they were very out of touch with what was happening on the floor and just sat there on their phones like 75% of the time.  

Floor management is good, the training is thorough, and you can learn a lot. However a majority of the issues stem from the top down; poor communication, lack of clarification, as well as being strung along for several months past my hour allotment. My story is not unique, as this is the case with several people who started around the same time as me. 

I worked at GPC through an agency for nearly a year. I was told I would be hired on a temp to permanent basis, and that I would have security once I had hit the allotted hours. This was not the case.

If you are like me, and seeking job security, then this is not the place to go.

Global Power components has a lot of potential to become a great company, but sadly upper management and the owner prevent that. All the stress and hard work is put on manufacturing, but with none of the appreciation, pay, and benefits. There is a strong disconnect between the office and production floor. If more energy was put in to well thought out purchasing, scheduling, organization, and management, the place could thrive. But instead their solution to everything is to have underpaid production workers just "figure it out". 

It's been 6 months since leaving and I wish I had done it 3 years sooner. The leadership group is just 4 guys who think they are cool. If you support their fragile egos you can get accepted into their club, but you don't really want to. This place exploits their workers and will take everything from them and give them back nothing. Only the 4 cool guys will get paid off of the hardwork others do, but if you want a raise you can go work overtime. They will lie and manipulate to get what they want, so don't trust the people interviewing you. I would give zero stars if I could.

this company doesn’t care about it’s employees or their safety. they care less and less about the people and how much they can do instead. i spoke up about safety issues here and they iced me out after that. never took my opinion or what i had to say, brushed everything off until they found a reason to terminate me. I hadn’t even gotten to talk to HR or Management about it. just terminated. i think this company treats their employees extremely unfairly. wouldn’t recommend working there.

If not familiar with electrical work, it is rough on a new guy. A lot of the guys there are pretty decent with training but the place is overall disorganized and kind of hectic. Can be frustrating at times. You have to be hired through a temp agency...no such thing as direct hire. 
No promises of being hired on.
I advise you work as many hours as you can. It’ll help you last.

Management and management structure is terrible. No advancement opportunities unless your involved with the right people. No pay increases. Overtime is readily available and they consider that your increase. Benefits are bad. Once hired your on your own with little to no support or appreciation of any kind. Employee turnover is the worst I've ever seen.  Accountability is non existent and people will scape goat someone in a heart beat. 

When the boss came up to me and told me that they were gonna call it quits, I looked at him and said "SWEET!" Packed up my tools and got the out of there! Never looked back. The guy would tell me to do something one way, and scream at me when the quality inspector told him it was wrong. Would yell at me some more when something would take a long time, but couldn't be bothered to get me ok'd to use the cranes or forklifts is I didnt have to wait a half hour for someone to move a part for me. Like I said, I never looked back!

Global Power Components is a wonderful company to work for. Everyone works together as a team. There is a great Supervisory Team that works very well with the Safety Team.  I enjoy working with everyone at GPC!!
