Motus Integrated Technologies

Overall I would give Motus 2 out of 5 stars. The work was generally easy, but very tedious  and mind numbing. You are not allowed to have headphones to try and make the job more tolerable. Most of my negatives come from how the company was ran and how the shift supervisors managed their employees and responsibilities. More than a few times people were blamed for things at an individual level opposed to company policies or unmaintained equipment resulting in company damages. One of the shift supervisors is a "golden" in the sense that they have never made a mistake and the blame is always on someone else. There are empty promises that never follow through. The general factory quality is probably an OSHA violation with the amount of dust, debris, and burnt fiber glass in the air . The tuition was nice, but there are certain strings attached where more than likely you are not getting the "full" tuition. Very high turn over rate and when i was leaving I heard multiple people trying to start a union. 

You will have no idea what's going on here. Training is virtually nonexistent. People who have been there for 2 weeks are "training" brand new hires, which goes about as well as you'd expect. More likely than not, you'll walk around blindly asking anyone you see who your team leader is until you find them. If you're lucky, they'll actually show you how to do your job.

You get two (yes, 2) breaks in an 8 hour shift; a 20 minute lunch and a 10 minute break. Your first break will often be 3.5-4 hours into your shift. There's a 2 week grace period before you're required to start working overtime whenever they demand it. Sometimes you even get an extra break for working 10 or 12 hours, but don't count on it.

The pay seems great at first, but you will soon realize that it isn't worth the nonsense you're expected to tolerate from management. You are nothing to them and they will speak to you accordingly.

If you're desperate to start working, go ahead and accept a position here, but don't get comfortable. Keep applying for other jobs. I am not exaggerating when I tell you this: You do not want to work here.

What is the best part of working at the company?
8 hour shifts
1st shift has great leadership
Assembly 2ns Shift has great employees 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It's like Junior High School on 2nd Shift ppl spread rumors and make up lies. Anything that immature adolescence do you will find on 2nd shift. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast Paced and Stressful 
Horrible management
Lazy Employees and Team Leads

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I never know what the next day holds. Some days someone quits or doesn't show up therefore I have to fill in. Some days certain ppl are friendly next they are doing everything in their power to get u fired.

No air conditioning unless you work in the office. Normally short on people so the move me to production. They don't hire for part time anymore which is probably a reason why they are always short on people. I've heard claims that they don't hire part time for ease of scheduling but it doesn't make sense because they could just have someone work a full day a few days a week rather than a full week. Management expects people to be robots. Most parts are large so it is hard on the body. Will be fine at the start of the day but it gets exhausting quickly especially in the summer. Fans just blow hot air. Diversity here is good compared to other places in Warrensburg/Missouri, there are a lot of women and there are quite few people here who are bilingual in Spanish and English, I can easily think of at least 6 people who speak Spanish.

A typical day has alot of variance in the schedule.  There is alot of turnover in the company.  I learned alot outside of my personal / trained knowledge.  Management has a hands off approach with minimal attention to complexity of jobs.  People in the office and leadership have many opportunities and / or required to perform cross job functions regularly outsite of their expertise.  The most difficult aspect of the company is that everyone is so busy that there is rarely time to work collaboratively.  Pay is good and flexiblity of office work vs. working from home is available.  The downside is that there are many in corporate positions don't understand the road blocks of the day to day production challenges.

Motus is a great place to work with or without prior factory experience. It was easy to get started, things are explained well during orientation. The work day is a long one, but the employees are helpful, give great advice and are easy to learn from. It is a very physically demanding job, so having lots of food and drink options along with energy drinks and ibuprofen available in the break rooms are very appreciated. The machines do tend to have some issues frequently, but maintenance is quick to get to your cell and help and team leads are understanding if your production goals aren't met.

Was told in the interview that they don’t really work overtime. Then when I got hired we’ve been working 10-12 Hours 7 Days a week. 2 Months In now and I’m Already getting laid off. Everyone told me that they work you for a few months and then lay you off for a bit then bring you back and do it all over again but I didn’t listen. It’s true. 
Pays decent benefits suck and are VERY expensive. Typical hot factory in the summer. Favoritism is definitely a key factor. Everyone got sent home and I was told I had to stay and work the whole night. 
It’s a good job if you’re looking for something to hold you over till you find something better. 
But don’t plan on staying and not getting laid off. Apparently it’s a job. Not a career. 

Enjoyed my job cleaning the plant IE: break rooms, restrooms etc. 
 4+ yrs of doing my job, as janitorial maintenance my production workers stilled thanked me for keeping the place so sanitary. 
plant Manager and my Supervisor where fairly easy to get along with. Other Salaried people not so much.
Was OK not having to deal with the DRAMA in production. 
Hardest part of job was consistently adapting to the changes required due to covid pandemic.
Most enjoyable part of job overall wass the people I worked with.

Do not ever join this company if you are looking for a career. If you need a job for 3/4 months in between finding a better job, this is the place for you. You will be lied in the offer letter and during the interview process, actual work given to you will be different than the one promised during the interview process. 
Most of the people here are laid off or they leave, only 5% employees stay beyond 5 years. This place is a career suicide if you are into careers, if you just need a pit stop until you find a better one, go for it.

Motus was a mixed bag. People were friendly. Shifts were long with short breaks. The work could be exhausting, or your line could be down for hours giving you nothing to do. There is a lot of independent problem solving, because a lot of things can go wrong on just a single production line. The management were helpful when asked, but a lot of work ends up self-directed as they are spread thin throughout the plant. The regular wage is on the low side, but premiums come with working late and additionally working the weekends. They also offer tuition reimbursement, a huge incentive that I would recommend to anyone in college.
