This could be a decent place to work if the people in charge could get their act together. You tell mgmt about problems, they act all concerned, but do nothing about it. We are always running out of parts and the ones that we get in are poor quality.  A customer will shutdown for 2 weeks and instead of making safety stock, JAC just shuts down the line.  Then when it goes back up, we end up getting behind.  Pay is not competitive and good people keep leaving because of it. There is constant turnover in both production and office personnel. Our BU leader quit and we lost two good teamleaders. The problem is, the people that need to quit or be fired never leave. Hr manager who can never answer a question , engineers that do nothing, production planner in fab who has no prior experience and comes in late every day, supervisors who could care less about what goes on, and an invisible plant manager. The good workers who care about their jobs and the company constantly get dumped on and the bad workers do whatever they want and get away with murder. We get a new plant manager every year, and, with the way things have been going this year, we'll probably get another one in January. It's sad.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Worst communication process ever I ran 3 departments FOR THIER nenefit and go5 laughed at when i asked for 19.00an hour. I quit later that day after 7 months of low wage high work environment, haven't had an issue working ANYWHERE else. Can't believe I pitstopped here twice for low income and to many hours..

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being treated poorly by everyone around you. Then told how great you ate whe they need you to stay over 3 more hours while they go home.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Management lies to thier employees nochsnce for i.provwmt for almost 3 years in, however, no one stays that long because of the mistreatment.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I get overworked running 3 departments parts aren't order in a timely manor. Or we just don't have them. Inventory was done incorrectly and igot blamed for thier inability to do it.. when I had vacation all week and had nothing to do with it in a literal sense.  To much attitude and false promises.

As a temporary associate, this was one of the worst companies I have ever worked for. Management is rude and unprofessional, I have witnessed several incidents in which employees are spoken to in such a disrespectful manner. I could understand the frustration at times because there were a shortage of managers (due to high turnover) and some were responsible for multiple areas. Yet, the company wonders why the morale throughout the plant is so low. The job was easy to learn, the associates I worked with were great, but for all that must be done I feel the pay is too low. Also, I felt it was unprofessional to discuss openly in town hall meetings why managers/associates were terminated and then discuss who would be a better fit. That information is supposed to be confidential. There are a lot of incidents that go unreported because of fear of retaliation, a vast majority does not feel their conversations will remain confidential. If the DOL sent a representative unannounced, that plant probably would not be open much longer.

Most days are short of help, getting moved several times but that's due to some people refusing to move off of what they call their fixture news to me I didn't think they belong to us individually 
The same people the pets if you will get away with pretty much anything they should have been walked out several times but they haven't been and yet other people are held accountable by any means 
Some of the management seem to think that title gives them permission to be rude and disrespectful to the workers and then wonder why the workers are rude and disrespectful to them 
People get positions based on friendship and who knows who instead of who really needs to be in that position that can handle it with professionalism 
The worst part of the job some of the people the best part of the job some of the people 
If I could give the Napoleon plant a zero minus I would
I don't believe I learned anything  useful 
I don't think management has the skill set that's required for this type of position it's more like a license to bully intimidate and to make up rules as we go

A typical day for me started with the mandatory morning meeting that began a half-hour before my previously agreed start time. Then I would see how many customer concerns were posted on the customer portal (at least one per day!). This company would rather not upset their shareholders by spending the necessary money to fix their broken systems and produce quality product to their customers. Corrective actions usually consisted of two things: Third-party sorting at our assembly line and some kind of superficial and ineffective corrective action from their production facility in Georgia. The same failure would re-appear within weeks if not days from the last failure. This gives a quality person the feeling that they're just going through the motions and getting zero job satisfaction. Operators are treated well and are trying to do a good job, but for the office workers it's a shark tank for the support staff. In my 27 years in automotive quality I've haven't experienced anything like this place for a long time.

Management clearly choose favorites around this place, managers don't know what they're doing, even joke around about their lack of knowledge for parts. You get hired in as a temp, the point system is heavily flawed. You're not even allowed 3 days off in a span of 90+ days! I had to leave work one day early for a serious medical issue and that was a point. Then my car breaks down a few weeks later and I tell them I'll have it back within a day (which required me to only miss 1 day of work.) Then I received a call telling me I've been fired cause "I used too many points in a short span." I still had 1.5 point left! Not to mention you supposed to be converted within 90 days but the delay that for an extra 2 months, hoping that you can rack up points so they can let you go due to "attendance issues" so they won't have to give you medical, 401k, or vacation benefits, then just hire someone else in and continue the cycle.  Also, the people on my line NEVER came in, but because they were not temps, they still kept their jobs. Highly recommend avoiding this place.

There are decent jobs here that are not too difficult with decent hours. The problem is that the plant is so poorly mismanaged and disorganized but it's the hr dept that is doing the most damage. You can be fired for any little reason.  Complaining to corporate does nothing.  The maintenance dept in the fabrication dept is also failing.  A plant should have maintenance workers who are always working, not sitting and playing on their phones. Preventative maintenance is rarely performed on machines, especially on the weekends when most machines are not running.  This place is losing personnel like mad. In the past few months, they've lost the maintenance manager, quality engineer, safety coordinator, material planner, 3rd shift supervisor, inventory managers, and several forklift drivers, not to mention countless operators. Unless upper management there is replaced, this will continue to happen.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Weekly Pay, honestly, I really believe that's it...

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No communication,  under paid, Very hot in the summer, Very cold in the winter. No bonuses or extra benefits at all. No matter how much you succeed at making your quota. Even though they claim to give jobs to  experienced personal within the company. They eventualy Hire people "friends" from other companies that they've worked  With.(Franklin Ga site)..

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture has that "Good Ole boy" racisit mentality.. if you don't know someone that can help you get a progressive position, you will not get it over them. Work environment is basically fast paced and the people (operators)actually stick together. Because they are all they have.... 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go to work, get the parts they want out and then go home

Work pace is not too difficult for the most part. However, it is extremely unorganized when it comes to scheduling part production requirements. It can be a very high number one day and extremely low the next, and fluctuates up and down daily. Management is not very good. Higher management employees have terrible attitudes and really need better communication and people skills. Work life and home life is not very balance because if an emergency comes up with home life and you have to leave or if you have scheduled appointments, they are NOT understanding even if it is about your or your family's health. You cross train continuously. However, there is much favoritism in the company. Upper supervisors take lower supervisors words over operators. Major clashes between supervisors and team leaders versus the operators. Not very good at supporting or backing operators even if they are reputable.

Been here 3 yrs and already had 4 different supervisors and 4 different team leaders. Supervisors are horrible! They will MAKE you do things that are not in work instructions and when it is found out, you are to blame not them. You get wrote up and even suspended. To many "personal relationships" on the property and causes major problems in work environment. When you have a problem, you are out of luck when it comes to HR helping you. I've been threatened by upper staff members and reported it, nothing was done. Their motto is safety, quality and then production but that's not how it works, numbers comes first no matter what! Numbers over EVERTHING!! If ever get hurt, you might as well look for another job asap! WORST COMPANY EVER, NO MORALS OR VALUES!
