Start each morning listening to maniacal job holders making unintelligible shouts and sounds. You will find most of you coworkers are too high to be helpful. Poor workmanship is encouraged, if you have a not my job attitude you will excel. Grown adults can often be seen having temper tantrums over the smallest disturbance. Basic rules are not implemented as any complaints, questions, or suggestions will fizzle out along the ever changing line of management. Your compensation will be just above the poverty line. 10-12 hour days with mandatory Saturdays are a normal schedule. Long days for little pay is part of the culture. However most new hires will start with a better salary than workers that have dwelled here for years. Feel free to cancel any vacations. You’ll need to use you PTO for both of the shutdowns each year. Expect to start each week with little to no work, halfway through the week you’ll get hit with backed up production and be expected to work through the weekend. Quality is of little importance because you can replace missed structural welds with caulking and paint. The plant is filthy and outdated. Be prepared to thrive in cobwebs, trash, asbestos, clogged overflowing toilets, unchanged rodent traps, and leaking roofs. If no one will hire you because of that felony or gap in a resume you will find a toolbox here, just need to know left from right and the ability to use a screwdriver. 

I started off at Reading with high hopes.  They seemed like they were poised to make improvements.    Unfortunately, my assumption was incorrect.  In the 2 years I was there, they went through 3 plant managers.  The corporate  PA location has provided very little support to the Claremore Oklahoma facility.  The lack of support coupled with the absolute poorest management I have ever seen, has left culture in shambles.  It's truly sad what is happening at this company.  The workers on the shop floor are hard working people who just want a clear direction from management, but that never comes.  

Facts and hard data do not matter at Reading Claremore.  This was very frustrating to someone who bases their career on data and being able to use it to make decisions.  

I was on unemployment before accepting a position with Reading.  If I had known how it would end and the scars it would leave me with, I would have not even applied.  They have a jobs posted on these boards often for a reason folks.  I am no disgruntled ex employee.  The day I drove out of the parking lot for the last time was the best day in over two years.

The new executive leadership team which started in 2024, along with all the Directors they hired, all posses poor leadership and lackluster performance which along with poor company results, all have driven the company morale and reputation significantly into the lowest of lows.  There is no opportunity for growth, unless you are hired externally from the VP of Operations himself.  Corporate greed has driven the core team members out within a short period of time, and the company is facing its most difficult challenges in revenue since covid and prior.  If you want to work for executives and Directors who have zero understanding or empathy for your life or family, than Reading Truck is not your fit.  Not to mention they’re hiring folks, just to continue laying off and cutting back.  Don’t leave a secure job for this place.

By far the biggest joke of management I've ever experienced yet. I'm not a disgruntled ex employee, I'm just being purely honest from my experience. Management, where? Who? They tell you "team work" but the second you try to play apart of the team they tell you to "stay in your lane". They hire mainly convicted felons, which isn't horrible because everyone needs a start back into life, but it really sets the atmosphere of... attitudes and lack of intelligence.... HR will side with the troubled ones regardless who's right or wrong.. HR isn't hardly ever there on site, alway gone for some reason nor gets anything completed for you.  You have to do it yourself.  They'll tell you Monday thru Thursday with some overtime. But you work overtime every week 100%. The "quality" there is the biggest joke I've ever witnessed. It's quite sad to be honest, the company makes big plans that constantly gets pushed further and further and you get a $25 annual Christmas bonus on a gift card.... all in all, it's a paycheck...worth it?? Find out for yourself.  

The company used to be great was exactly what I was looking for. Over the past 2 1/2 years they have begun to over work the certified people and allow the others to slack off. I provided my own tools for the job and they are constantly being stolen, I have replaced all of my tools at least once or twice. The company is illegally allowing the employees to wailed without certifications or training. The employees that they hire are rude and disrespectful, they curse and insult others. They have a verbal schedule nothing is ever written down. The company is based on a point system with no way to track where you are in points. Once you reach 10 points you are terminated no matter how long you have been with the company. They do not give you a warning when you are close to reaching the 10 point mark and you are just supposed to trust that where they say you are a in points is true. They have forced overtime, there is no time to spend with your families with this company.

Overall RTB isn't a bad place at all. It has been recovering as all businesses from Covid and having to retrain individuals into the workplace. there are a lot of unskilled labor but with proper training and guidance the company can go back to what it once was a few years ago. HR needs to become an active role with all the new hires and there needs to be more direction and less independence on the floor. Lack of supervision is the down fall of all good companies, and not having the proper individuals in the correct positions will cause the ones who have dedicated their time and sacrificed to help the company thrive leave permanently.

I worked for auto safety house for a number of years and ultimately the high turn over and poor benefits is what drove me away. It's a revolving door for employees, management is often disorganized and squabbling between department heads is frequent. Their benefits can be described as nothing short of terrible. During my time there they switched insurance companies multiple times, they provide no 401k match, you're expected to use vacation days for sick time, and the 401k program they do offer has some of the highest management fees you can find. The culture and moral at auto safety house is overall very poor, a generally negative tone is a constant and there are frequent ownership changes. There are plenty of other companies out there, I would tell my friends and family to look to auto safety house as last resort.

Poorly run company. Management is a good old boys club and they do not appreciate the employees or care about their customers. Completely clueless as to how each location is being run and would rather have a high turn over rate instead of addressing the fact that they have incompetent people in charge. Some have zero industry background and are blatant in the disrespect they show to workers with real experience. Very petty people to work for. Pontiac location has two at the top who are running it into the ground and it's a chaotic mess. If you want to work for a reputable company look else where. Everything about this company is amatuer and sub par. Total disorganized mess.
