MICKEY TRUCK BODIES

A typical work day begins at 8a.m. with real hands on work. The atmosphere of the work place is great, one of the best I have ever been a part of. Before I started with this company I had minimum work experience in that field, but they gave me the proper training to excel with my work. My higher superiors truly know how to manage such an industry and they do a fantastic job. There is a true passion for the work they are in and it is respectable to see that drive and ambition. My fellow co-workers are a good crew to work with, we all get along and we have become a little family at work. We all have each others back, and are always willing to give a helping hand when we need it. The most difficult part about my job is inside the buildings temperature. We work in a big warehouse type structure with no air-conditioning, so it could get quite hot during the summer months. Management does take care of us with supplying us with water and Gatorade for hydration, and also frequent breaks for the excessively hot days. The most enjoyable part of my job is waking up in the morning and not dreading to go clock in, it honestly is a great place to be employed.

I've read the reviews on here and I believe some of these, are people that experienced termination. The HR team is always available and supportive. They absolutely see the entire human, if they didn't, I wouldn't have a job. The pay is okay but it increases every 6 months as long as you are doing your job and progressing and improving. I am well paid for the work that I do. They have some room for growth there, but they make up for it in so many ways. Bi-weekly incentives alternating with your earned paycheck so you receive a check every week. Safety Biscuits, Safety pizza, cook outs, Holiday dinners for every employee, turkeys for Thanksgiving, Watermelon for Memorial Day, attendance awards....the list of give back from MTB is long. The insurance is expensive in my opinion but so much of it is free, that it makes up for the cost of medical. I can't speak for all of the management because I've only been here for a year but my supervision is a common sense leader. The only micro managing that happens is in regards to accuracy. The direct communication and respect are out of this world.  I am very happy to be here and pray there is never a reason to leave.

I was held back because I was a girl. Took me 6 months to get to a position that I originally wanted to be in while they hire other guys that had 1/4 the knowledge and skill than I did and they were making more. They say it’s a 10 hour shift 4 days a week but don’t be surprised when they work you 6 days a week for months. I was there for over a year and only once did I work a 4 day work week and that was with working more than 10 hours a day. Their schedules are not possible to meet, and they put more and more trucks every week, without making any changes to the production process. Also good luck if you come face to face with an important issue. HR doesn’t care, and won’t do anything to help you. I will say the money is nice but it wasn’t worth it to me.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Security. You are not just a number you are family and it shows. I could not put into words what this company has done for my family and myself. But thank you Mickey Truck Bodies

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It is very fast past but with Mickey's resources and management is a tool for success. If it is stressful then you are succeeding. Jobs are not supposed to be easy that's why it's a job. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Team Work and family oriented 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very productive. Never not something to do. Great environment

I worked here for 5 years and when I started it was great. After the first year everything fell apart. Started working 12 hr days 6 days a week not negotiable either work what hours they want you to or find new job. On Saturdays at the end of the day they will often come tell you you have to work half a day Sunday. They literally said in a meeting that your job comes before your family. If you're not good friends with management you will NEVER move up. You need 2 codes just to get in the building so you can go to work. Its like working in a prison.

I love working for a company that makes great products. The work is challenging but invigorating. My direct boss is amazing and supportive of my growth and development. The company supports the team members and the community. Manufacturing truck and trailer bodies is hard work but it is fulfilling to see the end result rolling out to the happy customers. Managers and supervisors are hard working people who care about the work they are doing and the people they work with every day.

The poorest managed workplace I have ever endured. Horrible work culture, employees stab each other constantly. Management nurtures  this environment. People constantly quit/fired. You are required to clean the bathroom (everyone takes turns @ sheet). Constantly criticizing employees, never feel trusted, constantly looking over your shoulder. Great place to work if you don't mind all that. I doubt very highly this place is going to be in business here very long.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing really due to management 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management  is very disorganization at all levels. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
More and More  truck bodies. that there culture. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
you come in and they go over safety. yet all they want is more and more  truck bodies . if we did 20 this week they like to get 22 next week. appetite is insatiable

This company is a perfect example of the good old boy network. Being a family run company no new ideas accepted, slow to no change. Troubled with over 70% turnover. They continue to be stuck in their old ways - new talent exiting once they know they cannot make a change to the environment - This "culture" is broken and the sad thing is the owners/ owners son think it's great - 

They praise the lazy ones. Dog out the workers. They do not care about the employees. Only the numbers on their books. People are only out for themselves. You get no notice on what you are working. If you get off at 5 pm they will come around at 450 pm and tell you that you are working til 7 pm. Never know what hours you are doing. Changes by the minute. Work to family ratio. There isn't one. You adjust your life around what the company sees fit for you. Their money first your life and family LAST.
