KPS Global, LLC

I was excited about working here the first couple days, then realized that the mandatory OT schedule here is completely unfair to certain departments. We were told 40 to 45 hours a week, but what that really means is "depending on department"
Gets very old watching the rest of the Plant leave after 8 or 9 hours while you constantly get stuck working 10/11 hours, 5 days a week plus some Saturdays! 
Yes they will let you leave "If you have a good reason" but since they don't have a point system, your basically playing Russian roulette with your job if you take a day off unplanned. 
Not just management, but the company itself really needs to reavaluate their priorities to their employees over their customers if they want to keep business going. There's a reason the Tennessee plant had a mass walk out due to unfair OT requirements and  hostile management/work environment! 


If you work in production prepare to live there during the summer and be prepared to barely make 30 hours per week in the winter if you don’t get released. Very high turnover rate, low wages but they have improved in that department recently. Management will talk to you very poorly unless you are liked by them personally. If you aren’t liked and a good employee you will be let go for any reason they feel like making up. They run the good ones off with a lot of experience and wonder why production and quality is down. Poor leadership from the top on down with the exception of a few higher ups. Very rarely will you hear someone say good job. The yearly raises are a complete joke and slap in the face, 15 to 25 cents per year while benefits go up every year. You wind up losing money really. 

If you value yourself at all, DO NOT WORK HERE! This place is an absolute joke. The management is ridiculous, the work environment is atrocious, the hours are insane, and the pay is very mediocre. This is not coming from a temporary position or a new hire. This is coming from a leadership role with a lot of experience. If you value yourself at all, DO NOT WORK HERE! I stuck it out as long as I could, hoping I could make a difference. You have production supervisors that have NEVER been in a leadership role before, supervisors that have NEVER been in a leadership role, and schedulers that walk in off the street. From may to October, plan on being there 7 days a week, 10-12 hours a day. November to April, you're lucky to get 36 hours. I can not stress this enough....... stay away from this train wreck 

At first it was a good place to work when I was on nightshift the raises were awesome. Then I moved to dayshift and covid hit I worked 2 years without a raise and they used covid as an excuse about money even though we never slowed down even with infected people in the building, they bought 250,000 dollar machine but said we wasn't getting raises and took our 401k match away and changed the vacation policy. This company does not care about you or your family, the only thing they care about is keeping Texas happy no matter what, you may work 28-30 days in a row without a day off the days just continue to run together and you have no time for your family. DO NOT WORK HERE IF YOU HAVE KIDS

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Just a typical work day..Just make sure you show up on time and have good work ethic and you will go far in this company!

Manage a quote database with new opportunities daily.  No 2 quotes are the same; learning with each opportunity.  Management provides me excellent training on how to do my job.  I love the fact that my manager knows how to do my job and trains me the essential way to succeed.  Hardest part is learning how to do things faster.  I have only been here less than a year and it is getting a bit easier with each quote.  The best part of the job is the people.  Everyone is so friendly and they too appreciate their job and it shows.

The turn around in the parts department seemed to be high during my time there. Managers would be promoted to other teams and the team went through 7 or so in one year. The last manager started a ticket system and expected a lot. 2 people were let go during my time there as well.  It's sink or swim environment and very helpful coworkers but beware of asking the same type of question over and over. You wont be taken seriously if you do.  I asked the right kind of questions I thought but was let go quickly. First day was paperwork and the rest you will be walk to your team to start side by sides.  Good luck and take lots of notes.

Long hours hours very a company that does not appreciate the hourly work force. They promote by favoritism versus performance evaluations. Not willing to invest in real good manufacturing training techniques. Leadership do not lead by example only do as I say mentality. 

Work hours is not always consistent. You better save your PTO for the Holidays. The company shuts down for about 2 Weeks and if you used your PTO before then. You won't get paid for the holidays. Management is understanding and play fair.  Fellow co-workers are human beings and act like it. You will meet some hard-working men and woman in east Tennessee.

This place is a good work place, yet I got moved after being told I would never get moved my skills was never good enough still after proving many times my work was done correctly you never advance they choose the people rather then evaluate the person if you can tell they don't like you it's best to just leave I felt left out at times the HR lady takes supervisors side 100% they have big ego issues
