Kautex Textron GmbH & Co. KG

Kautex has a fairly lean, effective business structure with room for advancement if you show potential. The fast-paced, collaborative environment allows people to learn and grow quickly but also leads to a high burnout rate. I worked in multiple locations and engineering roles in my time there and certainly learned a lot. Unfortunately, I also observed a decline in the quality of leadership and morale as optimism for the company's future waned, a steady stream of top talent left the company, and those that stayed were pushed to their limits. At this point, most people stay because it's one of their best options due to location or other circumstances despite the poor work environment, and new people are usually thrown into high-pressure situations with little or no training. Upper management has been slow to realize that they can't treat their subject-matter experts of a niche technology as if they're disposable and still expect to run a healthy, efficient business.

They didn!t show there employees the appreciation they deserved for job well done! I worked there 30 yrs. and very seldom did they show you that they were pleased with the production you put out, and just overall attitude was that we were just doing our jobs! The co- worker on the most part was easyto get along with, and easy to work with. We worked on different lines occasionally, so we got to know everybody, and how to do all jobs for the most part. I learned a lot of differents jobs, and had to be fast on most. Which i was told I done pretty well by my bosses. The hardest part was when something broke down and we were sent home. The most enjoyable part was meeting a lot of people that became friends, some still living, and some not!

6 days a week,every week, nearly every holiday. No consideration for ones personal life.  Management is never to be found on the weekends but the plant runs 24/7.  Misguided sense of whats important between floor personnel and management. Issues brought forward are typically only addressed with lip service.  This is a company with a high safety culture however this is often a detriment to being able to get a job done effectively. Safety rules are instituted by those unfamiliar with process and productivity. The compensation and benefits are commiserate with other factories in the area.  This is the automotive industry and that should speak volumes if you are familiar with that.  Floor employees are bunt out with sore attitudes constantly dealing with some new change that does little more than complicate their ability to do their jobs.

I worked here a month and then was told I was not a good fit and let go. From day one was given no directions beside just to count materials which was impossible since they are everywhere and not organized. The people in the materials dept are rude and unhelpful. My manger never met with me and I had to find to ask what his expectation were and he just said to count. The buyers are unfriendly and rude. It took weeks to get my computer and access to the inventory system which I needed to do my job. I organized the materials areas and them the materials handler took the credit. Materials handlers work slow so they van get overtime. The floor people are great, but I can tell seem scared to say anything.
They can't keep track of the materials them panic when they run out and the line has to shut down.

A great place small plant the product is not heavy and not light either the work is easy easy to catch on I got along with everyone they show you how the work is done it's easy to catch on.
I miss working there but sadly the 2020 pendmic change all that I found something else after they lay me OFF after three years but kept the ones with More year's but sadly they  didn't know they didn't stay long with out there attendance being passed points walking in like they owned it, 
They thought the union will baby them little they know every company door's swing's both ways one Hired the other fired lol no matter how many years you have in company, no one is spacial but the owner lol . 

I was brought in I was excited to be working there at first then quickly realized it was so unorganized they hired to many ppl in a dept then lay them off it didn't matter who had been there longer, Education qualifications you might just walk in one day and be laid off. I saw it happen many times they actually let a guy drive all the way there work 30 minutes then lay him off no one seemed to know what was going on. I saw many good people be let go or quit there. Product consistently had flaws. Shipments were completely wrong. Inventory was a disaster. Good benefits if you can be in constant chaos. t

Kautex Textron of Lavonia is a decent place to work provided they want to keep you. From the short time that I spent working there I showed interest in going full time, but they didn't seem to share in my interest and they have yet to return my calls ever since they laid me off. At first glance the work environment may seem stressful but you get use to it very quickly. You'll be kept busy most of the time provided nothing happens to the machines. Great place for a career if you can get your foot in the door.

It was assembly line in a automotive factory. Since it was on an assembly line I did not learn much. The management was divided in two since it was a temporary job provided by Adeco. The supervisor treated everyone as a slave since he had no people skills. The co-workers where friendly and helpful, always able to make everyone forget about the terrible supervisor which was the hardest part of the job. The most enjoyable was the co-workers.

A typical day of work goes by really fast since you are super busy most of the time. I learned how to assemble Toyota tundra/Tacoma  gas tanks.Management was great, my supervisor was great and very respectful and understanding. workplace culture is very good. the hardest part of the job is catching up to speed but in time it kicks in. The most enjoyable part of the job is the pay and benefits they are amazing you feel like this company is family while your working there.

Things started out really well, I work on average of 55 hours a week and make great money, but you get burned out quick. Most of these hours were mandatory and still are. Lately management has started to micromanage everything and is looking to be cleaned out soon. Once that happens, the job should go back to being a good place to work. Just needs more freedom to do your job without people breathing down your neck.
