HAAS Automation Inc.

Quality of life here will depend on what manager you end up under.  Haas can be a toxic place.  You may be verbally berated, given unrealistic expectations, or expected to work excessive overtime.  You may be confused as to why there is no communication between fully grown adults managing different departments.  You will hear of a mysterious Tuesday meeting.  This meeting will determine the direction of your team and emotional stability of your manager at any given time.  You will be rewarded for appeasing others and making Haas your main hobby.  It will pay well if you manage to do this right and speak up loudly to get a raise or be promoted.  Those that don't speak up are often not promoted.
There are good things.  There is a lot to learn - if you keep taking on new projects you will never stop learning here.  You may even make a friend or two you can crack wise with when the place starts to get to you.
There are bonuses that greatly increase your yearly salary. This will soothe your burns when you go home fuming over what new h3ll an ER has released onto your production line.
The company has outsourced many of its parts without providing adequate resources to the quality department.  The hidden costs of this are likely to be enough to fund a legit research and development department for the Haas F1 team. 
All in all, it's a good enough company to settle at.  You'll always be left wondering if something better is out there, but the bonuses will have you coming back for more.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Haas Automation is a company that offers good pay, solid opportunities to grow, and a fast-paced work environment. The complementary lunches are definitely one of the best perks and appreciated by employees. If you’re focused only on work and making money, it can be a decent place to gain experience.

However, the company culture lacks understanding and support for employees outside of work. Emergencies and personal situations do not seem to matter to management, and employees often feel disposable. Instead of working with employees through issues, it feels like they would rather replace and fire people, sometimes for reasons that don’t even seem valid. The company appears more focused on production and keeping work moving than valuing the people who help make the business successful.

Overall, Haas Automation has good benefits when available, but the lack of care for employees and job security makes it difficult to fully recommend long term.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This company is Not organized enough

Haas is one of the best companies i have work wit. in a typical day we will be busy working at least 10 hours. i learned how to drive forklifths, like sitdowns stand ups order pickers, and electric pallet jacks. Well i can only talk about my personal supervisor he started as a regular employee and eventually became a supervisor he was a very nice person everytime we needed something he will get it like tools, reorder parts and explain new information about the system we were using. Some guys were really nice but we din't really have much time to talk we were allways busy. For me the hardest part was adapting to the change of schedule becase i was getting move from morning to evening to graveyard shift . The most enjoyable thing was learning how to drive different types of machinary and the pay ofcouse.

I guess it all depends on the person's motive. A person might just here machines cutting material,cursing, people all around fast paced working,etc.however if you look beyond that, their are endless opportunities all around the plant.i have been at haas twice, being laid off both times due to the downfall of orders that happens every  couple yrs. I now have another job, but if they would call me to come back a 3rd time I would say yes and here is why, haas hired me with no experience, I learned everything I know there. They took a chance with me, so I will take my chances on them ! Plus the experience you get there are plus.but it is up to the person if they want to learn or not -Johnny Ramirez

Pay is decent but be prepared to have 10-12 hour days minimum and no Saturdays off when production isn't "up to par" for other station managers, which is most of the time. It probably would be wise to avoid working here if you have any social life or any relationship of any kind since your job will occupy most of your time. Plenty of other things wrong with the company, (ie being instructed to use toxic chemicals without ppe given, shoddy/cheap ways to fix problems with equipment, managers managing sections they know nothing about, taking way too long to advance in the company, uncomfortable working conditions,taking too long to be ABLE to clock in, often resulting as being marked late), but if you think it's worth the physical toll and your time, go for it.

This is a place for people that are going to be very dedicated, which means you don't have a life. They don't care about your personal life or problems, all they want is machines quantity. I work in the lathe department and its a boat that's sinking, manager is horrible, supervisors are liars, will never back you up, and favoritism is the only way you will advance. I've been there long enough to understand this place is a place that sucks all the energy out of your body, and a lot of times you take the problems home. I don't recommend at all. Every new temp we get quits within 2 weeks, its not for everybody. Pay is not worth the work you do here and company will be moving to vegas, so you only have about 2-3 years to work here.

Typical Day:
Supporting 1000 systems between 3 helpdesk personnel, toubleshooting reimaging systems and new builds.
What i Learned:
I spent 13 years being the first responder in the IT Helpdesk
and all that that entails
Managment:
Poor.. very political environment Upper management all knew each other from High School so it was very hard to remove the bad apples so the company suffered for this.
Hardest part of the job:
suffering bad decisions from management which made our jobs more difficult.
Best part of the job:
I personally knew over 1000 employees and enjoyed helping them get thru the daily grind of computer inadequacy.

Fast-paced work environment, poor management, poor employee development opportunities.

Environment is focused on producing, but not improving process or finding root cause.

Poor quality systems that are not embedded or flowed down in the organization.

Poor chances for advancement.  Many long term employees with antiquated skill sets in higher management positions.

Company culture does not encourage self-improvement or process control systems like LEAN and Six Sigma.

The workload fluctuates and can be light on some days and crushing on others but overall management prefers it when everyone looks overwhelmed and drained due to their *devotion*.
Management could use more training as many managers are disrespectful or downright abusive. Work goals are not clear/consistent and that makes it hard to move up (on purpose).
People are nice but there's a lot of competition between teams so be prepared to get thrown under the bus once or twice.

If you enjoy the job you're doing, you dont notice how fast the day passes
