What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is really good because they paid double time for all overtime and since it is a mandatory 50 hour work week that's 10 hours a week of double time pay.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I worked the night shift and it was a mandatory 50 hour work week. Because of how the schedule is set up my first work day was Sunday night and then my last work day was Friday night, which means I wouldn't get off work until Saturday morning. So I only got 1 and a half days off each week. This is 2023 not 1923, this company is not what I call a family oriented business. Work is the most important thing to them rather than having a balance for people to spend quality time with their families. There are tons of companies out there with a much better work-to-personal life ratio.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Average, I worked in the maintenance department and it was about what I expected it to be. Most of the machine operators were pretty cool to work around but there was one individual that everyone had problems with because of his poor attitude. The plant manager was a control freak and she micro managed everything, which was quite annoying considering she wasn't a maintenance worker buy trade and had no clue how to fix any of the equipment, but she was the first person to complain about how long it would take to fix a machine that was down.

When you first get hired on of course that gas you up by saying you'll be able to get full time as long as you show up for work and don't miss, but don't listen to that because it's a lie it's almost like the supervisors and managers know that they're not going to hire you full time so they try not to be friendly and to really get to know you cuz you will eventually be gone once you find out you'll never make full time. Also try not to let them find out if you are in recovery because they do not believe in helping people like us out they will actually use it against you and you will really not get on full time. So it's best to save up and work there for about 3 months and be looking for a better job for a long term because you're not going to get it here especially if you're a Fork truck operator or on the paint line because they can get anyone to hire to do that job you can quit one day and they will have someone else to replace you that very next day and they know it.

I absolutely loved my co workers that I worked with they made the day pass. Now, there is a lot of favoritism here, if you aren't well liked you get all of the bad jobs in this place. The shifts are long, but it does make for a nice check,  although you will not have a life outside of this place. I was originally hired on as a welder, but I hardly welded, most of the time I was just put in whatever department management wants you in. There wasn't any communication at all, my shift hours changed and I only found out once I got to work on the day that they changed during my scheduled shift. They will lie to you about your shift hours and force you to work overtime even though overtime isn't mandatory. My pay was screwed up twice by my temp agency and nashville wire. They do not hire a lot of people full time and only have a few spots.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is the only thing good about this job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with the management is horrible. You’re always wrong and the Plant Manager will gaslight you and end up asking “are you sure this is the right environment for you?” The worst job I’ve had.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Tail between your legs and head held down that is the only way you survive there. The pressure from management is unbearable. My opinion they need a new Plant Manager.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You work hard and try to keep the machine running but if at all you have to stop the machine the managers will hover and degrade you until it’s back up and running.

They are serious about production. If you cant work you barely get any time off for family or anything.  The money/ pay is really good here but it is really physically demanding and requires you to lift constantly the entire shift.  If you can get off the paint line your pretty good foreal. Everything else in there is pretty fun and interactive like the machine operators have a decently good job aside from the production standards. Great pay, pretty good benefits, the benefits could be better but they do have pretty excellent benefits.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I drove a forklift and learned a lot about fabrication.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is no organization, no positive work flow, employees are not made to do the jobs, poor supervision

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The lack of organization and supervision makes for a poor work environment 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get paint line ready for production, ensure all parts are packaged and put away correctly, ensure lines runs and take care of any problems that arise throughout the day

Total Chaos and tip of the nose solutions.  OSHA should shut that place down for a month to have the company fix all of the violations and bring that place up to code.

If your desire is to be an engineer and improve the design of the machines, forget it.  The money won't be spent to do that.  There are several hundred incomplete projects that were started, but never finished.  The motto: penny wise and dollar foolish.

The techs are undermined by outsourcing projects.

Most techs stay there for a maximum of 24 months and then move on to greener pastures.

The plant manager here is a psychotic control freak and she is well aware of it. She constantly berates employees and is always a nonstop harassment in her language and attitude. The pay is top notch due to the culture nd her management style which is nothing professional AT ALL. There is a turnover rate of about 60%-70%. Good spot financially for a very, very short period of time. I was a supervisor there nd was in shock from the hostility and horrid retainment. Avoid at ll costs if you are even a halfway decent person. Miserable culture and work environment.

All around maintenance from PMs to fixing toilets. Okay enough if you keep your head down and collect your check.
Day to day tasks are pretty consistent unless changed last minute.

Very high turnover rate that’s the reason why they can’t keep good people because they run them off. I worked there for a whole entire year not a good place to work. That’s the reason why you gotta use staffing agencies but they can’t keep good people working there.
