Hyundai Transys Georgia Powertrain

This is my first job out of college with my bachelor's. 

CULTURE:
Culture is certainly something to get used to. There is definitely a divide between many of the older Korean staff and American staff. Younger Koreans are more approachable and social than their older counterparts. Get used to a lot of conversations in front of you completely in Korean, and then being filled in afterwards. HR does not seem trustworthy and there is definitely a buddy-buddy attitude among them. This is a great place to build a resume and get your hands on a lot of different stuff and projects. Expect to do many things beyond your job scope; this is a pro and a con depending on how you look at it. It definitely feels like many of the Korean staff are paid more and/or abusing the overtime system in place. Company provides ridiculous perks to senior management from abroad (housing, travel, cars, phones, furniture, food, utilities, etc.) and pay the actual team members doing the work comparative pennies. Aggressive anti-union systems in place. 

BENEFITS & COMPENSATION:
Salary is okay, especially for the area, but not competitive at all the moment you look elsewhere. Especially with the increased workload with the facility expansion. Bonuses were cut for two years in a row despite record sales numbers "because of COVID". Benefits are great, especially if you have kids. 401k is average. Company provides yearly stipend for steel toes and company clothing, the latter of which must be worn at all times.

CAREER POTENTIAL: 
Not a lot here. Promotions are given more on a tenure basis than actual performance. Upward mobility feels limited if you are American; most management and ALL senior management is Korean, so it feels like there's a definite ceiling there. For most people it takes 10+ years to make it to management and there are better jobs out there than staying here for so long. Turnover is very frequent among many employees. I haven't been here even three years and have seen 30+ people hired after me resign.

You will either be overworked to the extreme (especially if you are Korean) or unworked and not cared about. When you do have work, don't expect to have any legitimate processes to follow. For instance I pretty much trained myself. You can also expect finance to give you a hard time any time you need budget for things that you should have budget for anyway or if you have questions on how to process payments. Expect there always to be a quality issue that trickles down into being your problem (bad suppliers). That being said there are some really good people in this company, but unfortunately everything else overshadows that. Also no pay until you surpass 5 hours of overtime is ridiculous. They will also handle any leave you might need to take horribly, whether it be bereavement, maternity, whatever. For all of that, the pay is just not there at all. 

This company doesn't care at all about the employees. They take on contract after contract and want employees to work 7 12 hours days with total disregard for family. They had family day on a Saturday gave night shift the Friday off but first shift had to work that Friday and start up that Sunday morning. Employees have been in car accident right outside the plant and were still pointed for being tardy or absent that day. They only care about the bottom line with total disregard for any outside life. It's like a prison, and the only difference is you get to go home daily just to sleep and come back to do it all over again. The culture really is terrible 

Company will compensate fairly for work, but abuse and manipulate this to keep workers past actual production hours and force them to work 7 days nonstop. Assembly department seems to be in control of the company so all aspects or incitive revolve around their department with no regard to the other departments. Management HOD thru assistant is toxic and only look out for their interest not the employees or the company's. Expect to be treated as a inferior human from the eyes of Korean management. 

Company to buddy buddy won’t hire within to much favoritism no structure no leadership management causes to much confusion amongst team members to cause division lack of communication lack of support from tr or hr treated as an object not an employee no bonding no expectations no over all goals 

They don't have any care for people mental health care. Someone should take the time to ask if we are ok. We work 6 to 7 days a week for 12 hours a day.  And they will give you a absent point if you leave in a ambulance for fainting on the job.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Work all the extra hours you want

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Things are always changing from day to day.


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Busy but not to bad, no yelling or screaming at people.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
12 hours a day 6 to 7 days a week

I didn't see where you could advance but so far within this company. Also, there isn't any work life balance at all within the company, and that was my soul reason for leaving this company after being with them for 7 years. 

Work is easy, management is NOT easy.  The managers do not want to manage, only collect the pay/bonus etc.   Zero communication or respect.  Bonus pay is good but don't anger your manager or it will be reflected on the bonus, your raise and status since they take it personally and can't be professional about it.  

I was fired not once but twice! The first time I got cancer and was fired, I was hired back with a promotion, and in less than 2 years I was fired because I got covid. The HR department is worse than cancer, and will fire you over the phone so they can have a guilt free smile.
