NGK could be a really nice place to work but the Human Resources department is absolutely atrocious and out of touch with the people involved in production.  They are often combative through communication and incompetent when it comes to handling member issues. This attitude and incompetence trickles down through management and into the supervisors.  

During the summer the temperatures in the plant can reach 100+ degrees and 12 hour shifts can become brutal.

Career progression has been completely blocked for the past two years because member retention has been so awful.  Be prepared to be stuck in the same position for the foreseeable future.

If you are willing to ignore those negatives and face the grind the benefits (PTO, Health Insurance, 401k) can be pretty generous although the pay is below average compared to other jobs in the area.

Work with powder 12 hour shifts
Easy work and steady pace of work some slow days and OT is available mostly all year. Work is in climate control or weather affected areas 

120 hours of pto given per year only earn more after 5 years. If you're gonna miss days, come in late or leave early pto hours are used mo exceptions.

Management is below any expectation of in charge of work ethic that will come into the work place, tolerating the bad employees while they destroy the good ones 

They recently promoted a few people to supervisors and the power went to their head. They began writing people up for every little thing, They were so short handed the employees have to do double the work. Very stressful work environment. Pay is decent, but you get NO sick days and only 10 days of PTO for the whole year. If you do work here keep track of your pto and timesheet because they will not fix any mistakes and will tell you they don't owe you for hours you worked if you forget to clock in or forget your badge.

I work 12-hour shifts 4 days on 4 day off the benefits were great sometimes a job could be frustrating probably more tedious would be the word some of the management was a little hard to deal with sometimes but a couple of the employees they had their they really needed to reevaluate.

It's hot. Management and HR do not care about members. As long as you don't miss any work you can do as you please. Attendance is over hard work. The work is boring. Repeat they don't care. Leave in an ambulance and your supervisor might check on you, no one from HR cares. The thermostats on the tunnel kilns only go to 100°, I have seen it at 115° during the summer. 

The plant is very clean and in good condition. 
A lot of favoritism and overtime on weekends if you are not in good with your team leader. I was told I had to work overtime right before my shift ended many times, and had to make last minute child care arrangements.

Need better management pay the women what they pay the men that dose the same job need too change there work Schedule it should be the same as managed and office people should have too work the long hours as we do and management it’s not fair how there do there

The work is ok, not hard to do. And most of members are nice and easy ti get aling with. The biggest problem comes when trying to deal with management or HR. They talk in circles and definitely don’t care how the employees are handled.. The opportunities are few and selected by a “good ol boys” club. It’s who you know for sure.

overall good place to work. Noisy in some areas and hot, people are helpful and everyone gets along. Decent break times. If you need time off on short notice they will work with you. Decent benefits

Great teams ,l enjoyed working with team leads they were helpful and understanding I learn a lot of new  positions and running and setting machines.,hardest part 12hr nights.
