Expect to learn (if you get the proper training from someone that is not busy) the most painstakingly difficult database to access models, documents and to create design change orders.  
This database is specific to the company and it takes months to learn.  Even the most seasoned veterans of this database forget certain aspects of it...but are very helpful when asked for help.  
When and if you get said training, be expected to execute tasks utilizing this database on a very compressed schedule and on top of other tasks as well.  
I observed that most of the designers ended up doing a PE's job because there was no time and/or resources to complete them. 
As far as environment goes, most are willing to help you and people are nice but it is a clicky environment.  If you're "in" you're in and if you're "out" well...good luck.  
Management is to say the least experienced but lack in dealing with difficult employee situations.  Surveys have been instituted to remedy this problem and honesty is encouraged but beware...the response I've witnessed is "in one ear and out the other" or the response is defensive and unprofessional.  
All in all, it appears that the company is trying to make this a great place to work but it will take leaps and bounds and a lot of time to achieve.

It is commercial airline aircraft assembly if you're willing to learn things can have a basic knowledge of tools you don't have to have much experience to work there. Like any other place you will learn a new job more experience. Management and even other coworkers there's always going to be the different ones and that's the way it works everywhere. Sometimes there is down times or you're standing there doing nothing but if you're on The prep side of parts and give you time so it's a good and bad thing. That would have to do with available parts that still a system that is behind since COVID. There will be over time especially going towards the end of the year but usually if it's a Friday it's a straight 8 hours. Usual is Monday through Thursday 10-hour shift Friday overtime would be a straight 8. 15 minute break every 2 hours. It's a weird system for advancing but they do give recently pay raises yearly and there is a quarterly bonus and that is a weird system that they have so you know can't really count too much on some of these things.

The pay is not enough for this position.  I feel like a minimum of $20/hr should be offered.  The training they provided mainly focused on the computer and should be a mixture of hands on and the computer system.  Which I believe the trainer said they were working on something like this for future classes but it really would have been helpful during my time there.  They rushed to certify me in about 2 weeks when previous employees stated it took them months to get certified. If you call out sick you get a point, if you come to work sick you get a point and a write up.  If you call out sick and bring a doctor’s note, you still get a point.  You really work M-Th and your overtime day is Friday but you pretty much working every Friday when if you were off on Friday, you could use that day to take care of appts to avoid taking time off during the week without risking getting points.  When there is overtime, it is always mandatory so if you don’t come you get a point. They quick to give out write ups even if it’s an engineering issue that they are already aware of.  The 

Let me start by saying that, based on feedback from some of those affected, Recaro handled the COVID-related lay-offs very well.  They offered both decent compensation and guidance/assistance with figuring out the unemployment.
  Now, there are people in management positions here that have no business being over other people.
  There is only room for growth if you both know someone, and kiss management a**.  If you’re any good at something, it’s nearly impossible to move out of your area.
  No pay increases, no matter how many additional tasks become part of your job, how hard you work, or how many people you train.  Yearly reviews are a joke.   
  Yeah, the insurance premiums are covered by Recaro, but they use that as an excuse to not provide any type of pay increase.

Recaro isn't a bad company to work for, However you should be prepared with these details. Lots and Lots of standing around due to incorrect parts and parts shortages. On average only actually work 2 days out of 4 day work week. Lots of clock watching! No phones allowed,or ear buds for music. You basically stand there 10 hours people watching.Management is some of the worst I've seen anywhere! HR will retaliate against you if you bring forth problems. They bring you in on a "4 day" work week,however mandatory Friday's are a almost every week ordeal. And you won't even get 24hrs notice if you're working Friday. Basically you need to be a good worker bee and hush. Pay is garbage for the industry. Benefits are great but will be restructuring 2024 due to inflation so that's no longer going to be a perk. Overall it's meh at best. They play favorites for sure.

They stuck with a "trainer" that could not communicate the functions of my job properly. When I asked for help I felt unheard. I was given a "verbal" one week, so I asked for help with the issue I was having. They gave very little insight and I was fired the week after. I wouldn't waste my time applying or interview here. They drew me In with a promise of culture. That really fell short. They really do make it sound like a good place to work but if you look closely and pay attention to the red flags, you will see what I ignored. They too the time and resources to hire me and when I expressed any concern they immediately turned to show me the door instead of trying to help me with my concerns 

I started early to enjoy the quiet before everyone else came in. The office was pleasant and my working conditions were nice. My co workers and others were pleasant and usually easy to deal with. My immediate Supervisor was one of the best I have ever worked for. She was knowledgeable and accessible to handle issues and train me on new processes. The hardest part of the job was collections and the most enjoyable part was organizing and establishing my processes to get my job done.

Typical day included supporting all aspects of the Final Assembly Line. As a supervisor was given multiple leadership training opportunities. Employees are friendly and supportive of you and your job task. Very family oriented company. Nice bonuses if you and the company meet yearly goals. Better benefits than any past or present employers. Most enjoyable part of the job was traveling domestic and international,participating in company sports and hanging out with the work team after work hours.

Upper management follows work processes at their convenience. A current manager works from home most of the time (doesn't know what's going on onsite), offers little to no training, and does not support their team members on the production floor. Due to the lack of support lower level employees are forced to do what managers/supervisors from other departments tell them to do (regardless of work processes in place) which adds a bunch of unneeded stress to the job. The pay is on the low end and not good enough for all the added stress.
