What is the best part of working at the company?
My boss was great at letting me take off time when I needed for my children. He let me work from home when needed. He always knew I would make sure my work was done. No matter what. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with in a white male dominated environment. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The employees were really great for the most part. I really enjoyed helping them in HR and at Christmas we went around handing out candy canes. But the management there is questionable. The owners of the company have less than ideal ethics. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on the day, I worked on payroll or accounts payable. No day was the same. I had employees coming to my office multiple times a day with questions and concerns.

I maintained the corporate offices and employee restrooms and break areas. Worked the reception desk during lunches and if there was coverage needed because of taken time off. I also worked in the warehouse packaging and labeling and moving freight if needed. Ordered product, multi-tasked From the minute I clocked in until I clocked out I had many by responsibilities and worked at a constant fast pace. For the most part coworkers were a pleasure to work with. The hardest part of my job was the maintenance and being able to keep it up to my standards. Trying to maintain a factory my single handed can be quite difficult at times.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay and most of the operators on the floor.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The Toxic management and supervision That made it imposable to do your job.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic.
 Managment is always correct no matter how wrong they are. Regardless how many times you prove they are wrong. Then they target you and make it so you cannot do your job. 1st year and a half were good. last 6 months after management changes it went downhill instantly.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
try to get your job done and Manager would have someone change things you are working on or have someone work on exactly the same thing and not tell you. It was the biggest waste of time. glad to be rid of the place.

To anyone that is considering taking a job at this company, be aware of the following. Raises occur based on attendance and job performance. More than likely the training you receive will be terrible and your raise will reflect that in the end. They advertise $16-$21 an hour. You'll start at the minimum on your shift. You'll be left on your own before you are comfortable with the job. Coolant is constantly in the air and will be on your safety glasses all the time. You will smell it as soon as you walk in the door. They say you can sign a bid to go to another job but don't trust that. They will do what they want with you. 

To many people get a little bit of power and let it go to there heads, Some of the management will throw you under the bus to save there butt even if you did nothing wrong. The pay could be a little better depending on the job your doing, Its a clean environment to work in but for the most part I enjoyed working there and In my opinion they have a good retirement plan.

PTO is a joke. Only receive 2 emergency days per year and regardless of when you hire in your vacation resets in January. If you hired in March you have to wait the entire year and then the following year to receive more PTO. I had to work 18 months with only 1 week vacation. 

Fast paced and varied in terms of the duties I had to do.

I learned a lot about manufacturing of car parts

Management was great and they created a great work environment.

I felt like I was an extended part of the family. Everyone worked well together.

Dealing with visas' and work permits in foreign countries.

The people!

"Working at this company has been a rewarding experience. The positive work culture, supportive colleagues, and opportunities for growth make it a great place to work. I appreciate the collaborative environment and the chance to learn and develop my skills. Overall, it's a fantastic workplace that values its employees and fosters a sense of community.

Room for advancement if you are one of the boys or on the buddy buddy system, they will tell you one thing to get you in the door then turn and do the exact opposite,  don't let them fool you with the we are like family here, you are just a number and that's how you get treated unless you are buddy buddy with management.

Engineers are over worked and don't have time to document the processes, therefore documents are not accurate and sometimes sloppy. Management sends mixed signals about processing, they want a process with all the bells and whistles, but won't spend the money.
