Going into this company i thought it would be a great place to stay and make a career out of but i now realize that i could find better opportunity else where considering i am not paid fairly for the work i do the manager in my building is not helpful at all if you need help with something he will just come back with smart remarks and will tell you over and over how something isnt being done correctly because it is not being  done his way i have learned to just figure it out myself or ask other people i work with so we can work as a team you are over worked even when there is little to no work i have been yelled at time again for what other people have done ive even been yelled at and basically told im a horrible worker for parts that were messed up before my start date i knew this by the date on the label that was on the part we are treated very poorly especially in my department we have to sit a rework parts because people in the press department cant make good parts i have sat and fixed parts for a month straight before also temps are coming in making more than us there is nothing good about working here it is just a constant headache 

My time at RCO was well spent having days with NO WORK because of poor procedure protocol. Too not being able to breathe because EVERYTHING WAS LATE. D-33 as a whole is beyond what I would personally say, a joke of a production shop. They’re not set up for production, even on the low-volume level, but expect orders to come flying out when operators can’t even get jobs approved from quality. Then, if you approach quality (CMM department) about their progress on the job-setup that you turned in. You’ll be struck by their lighting fast reaction of “How-dare-you”s and “Can’t you I’m busy here, quit rushing me, I’ll get to it when it get to it”….. 3 weeks later. Yeah.. not great

What is the best part of working at the company?
None union plant … the pay isn’t what you deserved to an employee… they are prejudice in so many ways … the raises are trashy 10 cent 15 cents 45 cents raises are r ridiculous… you’ll never get ahead in life no promotions you either have to know someone personally to get a promotion etc..

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They laid me off in 2019 due to GM had a major strike at that time which was very economical stress on a lot of companies as well as RCO

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A prison …. The prison a juvenile detention center it feels like a zoo. It feels like you’re working with animals sometimes dysfunctional people sometimes it’s not comfortable. It’s a Lotta toxic fumes. Their exhaust system is not good. It gets extremely hot in the summer extremely cold in the winter inside the warehouse the ventilation system it’s terrible. Everybody’s health is not good. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A normal 8 hour shift is typical day

Very 1960's management style.  Don't trust "common employees", only company management.  As Leader of Quality for the corporation, I often wanted to speak with hourly employees to learn how to better develop the quality system.  I was often criticized because "Hourly workers don't have any knowledge worth obtaining."  No concept of Quality Management principles.  No concept of team environment.  Quality should not concern anyone except the Quality Department.  In 45 year career, 25 within Quality, 20 in Quality Management, this is absolutely, by far, the worst company I ever worked for.  They talk a good game.   Give nice presentations to their customers and ISO Auditors.  Have Bible verses on paychecks and present themselves as a company with Christian values.  Don't be fooled.  After approximately four years, I was "laid off" with no plans to ever recall in order to avoid a severance package.

Worked at RCO sturgeon location for about 4 months. Few good things about this place is the pay, and the people. I started at a pretty decent wage and the people were all really nice to me and welcoming. They also give you a free lunch first Friday of every month. They also offer you a pretty good benefits package. The supervisors were a whole different story. All the supers there are either related to the owners in some way, friends of the plant manager or another high up. They walk around with egos and stink up the place. Also if youre an attractive women they will hire you for some type of job that they make up and pay you really good money just so they can flirt with you all day. 
I was a hi lo driver, the job was easy a monkey could do it. You just provide and take away bins that machine operators are filling or emptying. Inventory work and other small duties.

I resigned after just a few months.

The company is Christian family-owned and managed. They specialize in the design, engineering, and prototyping. of various industries. They also have a separate facility test lab that offers product evaluation of automotive interiors and similar industrial applications. They offer competitive benefits but average salary compensation. It's a fun place to work, awesome incentives like free lunches on Friday at the end of each month, an annual company picnic at the Zoo or local Amusement Park, and annual Xmas parties with prize raffles at both events. The best part of working there is the fact you can have a flexible work schedule that suits your family's needs. 40 hr work week and optional overtime. 

Worked on Gulfstream seats, ie: singles, doubles, divans and sub assemblies such as back rest, foot rest, seat, track and swivel, arm rests etc. Sometimes designing, checking or detailing assemblies or components. I gain experience designing with different types of materials, ie: sheet metal, carbon fibre, plastics, foam cushions, steel, aluminum etc. It was a quiet place to work most of the time. My co-workers were easy to converse with. The build room was on our floor which made it nice to see the parts being assembled and the assemblies that were destroyed during testing. Sometimes we have to work through lunch or breaks to make deadlines.

6- No Room for Advancement

13- Sex Offenders work in Upper Management also on the production Floor 
14- Lack of Communication across the board 
15 - Supervisors can talk and scream at everyone even the Customers.

you generally have to get into an ingroup here if you want to climb the ladder here. if they do not like you for any reason, its impossible to climb the corporate structure they have here. for many of us, this is a dead end job at a place that underpays us.

HR wont really do much for you if you have a complaint against someone in management, they mostly seem to protect the company and those who are in the in-group here at RCO. there is a lot of nepotism in management around here. its all filled with mostly people who are friends with each other. everyone here does pull their weight but they wont pay you what you are worth. the insurance here is fine, and they pay for free lunches once a month.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Anytime you can scam some free food from them

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not knowing if you can make it to the time clock by 8:03 AM

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Can you say nepotism? Most of the managers are family, and most of them have their heads up there axx.  Statistics show most third generation family owned businesses fail; RCO should be a good example of this.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Constantly seeing all the smokers take extra breaks through the day, then getting in trouble for coming in a few minutes late from lunch.
