Habasit-America

Aside from numerous daily report review commitments aganst open orders etc, had total responsibility for all aspects of customer care. Typical day at work would be reviews with production on open orders and large quotes that were generated ----taking care of schedules for 16 customer care reps while insuring coverage across the US and international market areas---reacting to any customer requirement that needed special ahndling in order to turn a quote into an order or an order into a shipment.
Hardest part of job was dealing with customer reps who had family / health issues that did have an effect on their performance and helping them thru the issues at hand.
Most enjoyable part was resolving issues to customer satisfaction and "thank you for your help with our problem" no matter what it was.
Management support was very positive

Working at Habasit America has been an absolute nightmare. The management is completely disorganized and indifferent to the well-being of their employees. There's no clear communication, and the work environment is toxic and stressful. Promises of advancement and professional development are empty; hard work and dedication go unrecognized and unrewarded. The equipment and resources we’re expected to use are outdated and often malfunction, but complaints and requests for better tools are ignored. There's no sense of teamwork or support, and the company culture is driven by favoritism and office politics. I've witnessed numerous colleagues being unfairly treated and even pushed out for voicing legitimate concerns. If you're considering employment with Habasit America, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This place is a career dead-end and will only cause you frustration and disappointment.

Habasit has had 4 managers in just the under 2 years I was there. They have literally moved walls, switched everyone schedule and work place more than 10 times in that time. Cam in on a Monday and was told I was now on night shift from 11-8 pm, no one notified me, no one asked me. I had a child in my care that I was raising. My shift and days in and out of that building switched almost monthly. The stress is so high I have seen people crying at their desk. The workload is unbelievable and they make excuses when 3 people have nothing but constant phone calls and no one else out of the so called 40 other CCR's has none. They tell you, the problems with phone is the issue, but never opt to fix it. They than PUNISH you by saying you did not meet required numbers that day/month, meaning you lose your supposed bonus. My health failed and it was a nightmare for me and many others who quit or took early retirement.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best parat for me was it was close to my house. The management changed a lot while I was there and did not allow a lot of autonomy, but it was a good place to work with good benefits.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful was getting other departments to do their jobs right.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work enviroment was casual and the culture changed during the time I was there, I was there for 9 years. There was a lot more fringe benefits for the employees when I first started. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very busy, I had a lot going on, as a manager. I did not have enough employees to cover the workload.

A typical day at Habasit was satisfying knowing that I already knew what I was going to do for that day. I've learned a lot at Habasit from learning how to draw in on a loom which then the weaver would run the loom to weave the belt,  which we had a few. Management was always respectful and professional.  The workplace culture was from younger men and older people too. There was a lot gossiping going on,  but that's anywhere else in the workplace. I think the hardest part of the job was training or learning a new job in the plant. The most enjoyable part of my job was I did what I loved to do and that would be sewing the nomex 's belt knowing that I drew that belt in on a loom right in the other room. 

A typical day is supplying customers with quotes, enter their orders, answering any inquiries they may have with the products that we supply.  We are a manufacturing company in which we sell conveyor belts to distributors through out the world.  The customer care group works closely with our sales team in order to bring the best service and product to the end user.  Our managers work with us in order to insure that the customer receives their product on a timely bases and the quality is satisfactory.  The most enjoyable part of the job is the contact with the customer. The least enjoyable is when an order does not go to the customer as planned.

Habasit is a growing company with many opportunities for growth for individual employees.

I am so happy that this was a temporary job for me otherwise I would've gone crazy. More then half of the employees can't speak English and they are the ones doing the training. My first impression was scary, no one was friendly and talkative. It seems like they can't wait for you to make mistakes so they can fire you. 
However, work was easy and constant. If you like factory labor good luck with that. Never again!

Habasit provided a rewarding and challenging experience. The work environment was pleasant and always presented new challenges to excel efficiently and productively. Duties always went beyond a typical  "job description" the fast paced company aided in expanding the skills obtained during previous employment, if the company had not had cut backs I would still be employed with Habasit as each day presented opportunity for growth.
