REYES AUTOMOTIVE GROUP

Standing for 12 hours a night isn't so bad once you're used to it. But piling on an unwillingness to even allow cor advancement within 6 months after the trial period, or the stupid rule of instant termination for preparing your workspace, or the rule about simply going on break (and thusly taking away time from our measly 10-minute breaks) and that's IF they ever got around to giving you a break and it gets stressful. It seemed to be an incoherent mess of circumstances every single night. 

But the people working there are great. My bosses were friendly and caring, as were many of my coworkers. People who I thoughtbI'd never get along with became some of my best friends after talking about our mix of hobbies and interests.

I started that job from the begining and as the years have gone by, I have noticed that my company no longer truly focused towards Quality but Quantity. I am a person that does not back down and kept stating this, and this did not go well with management. So we went our separate ways. I loved the people there and the hours and will miss them but I had to stand by my values and just could not tolerate the standards. When management cares more about their bonuses and their employees and product suffers, then we have a problem. Its sounds like a bad review but this company has so much potential but cant see thier path, that they are on. I would not buy a tundra or tacoma unless it was built in another state.

- The day consist of repetitive work and excellent production with few defects.
-The company has taught me a lot thanks to the ability for cross training in different fields from: blow molding, injection molding, detailing, shipping & receiving, quality control and team leading.
- The co-workers were mostly friendly and worked really well together.
- Hardest part of the job was the long hours and last second emergency pick ups from the warehouse to keep the company from not shutting down.
- The most enjoyable part of my job was just how some the supervisors were helpful and understandable with their employees and why the teams ran so smooth.

The days are long shifts. The upside is in certain positions you only work 3 days and have 4 days off. The schedule also comes up for 7 days off at times and you still get a check because of the way the schedule days fall. The job is tedious and there are a lot of machines to learn. Management on B shift is amazing. HR is super kind. If you mind your business and stay out of others drama you will be just fine. It’s 12.5 hour days with a 30 min lunch and 3 paid 10 min breaks, 3 days a week with an extra day sometimes offered for overtime. Every now and then there is a day that’s mandatory for overtime but not often. 

The production doesn't start immediately giving you a chance to set up your station and from there it's repetitive but easy. I understood the importance of teamwork and cooperation for assembly lines. The supervisor was tasked with managing multiple departments but always made sure the workers had no problems performing their duties. Everyone was assigned at the beginning of the day. If they had any trouble keeping up with orders other workers like myself could step in and assist. The most difficult part is the hours but the environment and coworkers make it stress free.
