This job was one of the worst jobs I've ever worked in my entire life! Everything at the job was disorganized and ever-changing. You don't get hazard pay although you are working with cadmium and other toxins daily. The work culture is toxic. The managers and workforce are completely against  each other. The backstabbing and gossiping are horrible. The actual job itself is not hard, but there is almost always mandatory overtime on the weekends unless you work a weekend schedule already. You don't get any real benefits,  no PTO, no sick leave, no vacation for a year, then only a week after that year has passed. You are on a very strict point system and can get only 6 points a year before you are fired. That would not be a problem if they had sick leave and honored doctors' notes, but they don't. So don't get sick too often although working with the parts that are full of cadmium alone is enough to put you in the hospital. Oh, and there is no climate control. You will be dealing with extreme heat in the summer and extreme cold in the winter unless, of course, you are management and work in the climate controlled office. Don't get too excited about that either though because you will be working on the floor doing inventory checks for audits every month or so. They are constantly messing with people's pay and cheating them out of their money. Don't trust anyone because the client/customer, Lockheed Martin, will be walking around daily watching you with their noses upturned to be sure you are doing everything just perfectly. Contract negotiations are a joke and union dues are forced upon everyone. Even if you choose not to be a part of the union, there are fees for that too. If the workers decide to strike, don't expect pay or proper recompense at all. STAY AWAY FROM HOLLINGSWORTH, OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!

Their actual business is pretty interesting and will give you good experience however it is not a place you can stay long term. The low performers get promotions many times a year because of discriminatory environment while they refuse to promote everyone else. Certain people have full flexibility to work from home and work part-time for full time pay while others are slammed with work and not promoted when earned. Expected to work extra hours without compensation. They will also create nonsensical positons for their relatives with no experience. Does not matter how much they increase your responsibiliies, how well you perform(2 performance reviews a year) or anything the same people get promoted on no basis. Promotions are not based on merit whatshowever which creates a ton of error. They always blame the wrong people for the problems. And forget about a wage increase. They will find every excuse to not give you one. Vacation time is  minimal and not given first year(I was lied to about this) parking is dangerous, health benefits bad. I would not recommend this place to anyone, ever. Horrible business practices, shady environment. Turnover is very high, obviously. They send out anonymous surveys all the time so they have known the issues for years and do not care. On top of all of this they expect you to donate to their constant fundraisers. Strange emphasis on what a great place to work when everyone knows the opposite is true. Overall a horrible environment with horrible morale. Do not. Work. here. 

Shift managers can be too much. Expect to get nitpicked at and criticized on how slow your going because they’re on a dead line. I don’t think it’s fair to be yelled at because of your stress tolerance being low. Because of this I’m currently looking for a new job because I’m on the verge of returning the same attitude back to to the management. It seems like the second ones vest goes from yellow to black one can treat anyone how they want too. Bottom line, you just can’t be someone who gets agitated and irritated easily and think you can work this job. I say this because the shift managers and some of your coworkers here know how to push your buttons. I don’t enjoy working here. 

But the job it self is not hard, just boring . All you do is pack Ford parts at a fast pace. Also pay is nice, for 17 an hour. With that you have a guaranteed 40 he work week. Also if you speak Spanish, this place is great because that’s all really anyone speaks in this facility. 

Overall it’s a nice job if you can keep a cool head and take orders. I just don’t like standing for 8-10hrs out the day and getting yelled at for taking too long in the bathroom but that’s just me. Every job will have its ups and downs.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people you meet. Learning new things at hollinsworth.  There isn't a whole lot of good things I can say about the company.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
How the temp service won't let you roll over because if you do then they won't have anything here do. Rolling over is so hard there no matter how good you are no matter how much knowledge you have you will not become a Hollywood employee not there.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is very stressful there in the company that right there on citation drive simply because like I said there's no room to be rolled over into Hollingsworth employee you will forever be a champ employee you will never get to Holland work benefits and none of that you have to be one of the people that they just absolutely like we don't have no HR all you have is little temp agency and she does pretty much what she wants to do

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My typical day starts I'm always one time I make sure all my work is done completely and adequate at every day but no matter what you do there somebody's always got something to say they don't come safe you did a good job or they don't acknowledge you the acknowledge the people that do not work that is not always good people that just sit around their phones talking

Hostile work environment. They chose favorites and its clear as day to see, they dont even try to hide it. They have an agenda of who they want to get rid of and they constanly provoke and belittle you until you either quit or do something to get fired. Magement is the worst ive ever seen and they always blame it on the hourly employees. They can never keep good employees or good managers. They dont let you speak your mind, or voice your concerns. They want people who never get sick, and never question theyre horrible managment style. I was there for 2 years, in which we had 4 diffrent plant managers and 6 diffrent HR representatives, so that speaks for itself. The most recent PM while i was there was fired for having an affair with an employee. Hourly/Entry level employees are held to higher standard than managers. You work everyday in fear that you may get fired cause they bring up your past mistakes when they want you gone.
You cant days off unless you have vacation time, so in other words you must work a full year straight(including saturdays, which theyll tell friday as your clocking out wether youll have to work or not)  in order to take a day off to go to the doctor or take care of your kids etc. 
The regular workers are amazing and put forth effort into the company but constantly get put down by managment. They dont respect you. 0/0 would never recommend!

It is impossible to succeed here. Extremely challenging to work in an environment where your managers are not qualified for their positions and they are all family members. Another challenge is favoritism among Arabs(interrelated with unqualified managers). Somehow individuals with no prior work experience take higher titles and more responsibility than tenured and educated employees. They are also allowed to come and go as they please while other employees get docked by the minute. In order for change to take place they would have to clean house in terms of management/upper management. There are entire departments that never respond to emails because they are all related and related to upper management. Their facilities from Michigan to Texas have issues with exclusivity and dishonesty. If they fixed the nepotism they would not have to lie to employees about positions they created for their relatives or individuals that quit/got fired due to nepotism. On top of the exclusivity and dishonesty issues comes low pay(no annual raises), no parking, and many many safety violations. I am left to wonder if this is a legitimate business at all.

Managers are too emotional and that makes the environment stressful. Instead of worrying about if the work is getting done on time they are concerned about who is talking to who or what kind of music is being played. Company expected you to work 365 days on six points without the option of taking time off without pay. There’s no chance for advancement and no pay raises at all! After a year you will receive10 days vacation to use but u have to get there on six points. The way the company handles employees is very unethical. Management don’t care about the livelihood of their employees or families. If u have children this is not the place for you to seek employment. The human resource person (yes only one) is very slow when it comes to taking care of things, she’s very unprofessional and payroll is always messed up. The work itself is easy to learn and keep up with. This could be an amazing place to work if management would treat people like humans and not robots. I’ve been there for two years and it’s only gotten worse.  Always hear talk about morale and coming together as a group but when this happens management does everything to break it down once it’s built up.

I have been employed here for only 7-8 months and in that time we have had 3 different managers. The one that is currently in that role was put there because we had nobody else. His work schedule is very unclear. Works on some Monday but not all, doesn't work on Fridays hardly at all and seldom works on Saturdays. My current manager has worked only 3 day work week for some time however I have been required to work 6 days a week for months. Also people don't mind working hard for a employer that seems to care for their workers. But at the same time they do not want to work for a manager or supervisor or a company that only cares about getting the job done no matter what the cost is to the workers. A bit of advise to the recruiting team and upper manaagement When a candidate asks question about the expectation of the job. For example work days or hours or even their training give the person a honest answer and not just what they want to hear. Let the person make a informed decision that way in the future they can not be upset for being mislead with false information. This will also help cut down on the turnover rate due to misleading information.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Thinking…I’ll have to get back to you…

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Too many managers, all telling you something different, they don’t follow the same play book.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Appears to be somewhat calm, most people are quiet, scared to talk to one another because they know it’s a very high turnover rate.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in, get scanner, go to office, check in with one mgr, see what has to be done and do it if you can, if not seek assistance, job consists of pulling airplane parts, most in this bldg, some from others.
Make sure you wear gloves, the bldg smells like grease and is very dirty…signs everywhere that says these parts contain cadmium which causes cancer…that makes you feel comfortable. 
Update progress on computer. Repeat process until shift over.
