SEW EURODRIVE

I was "hired on" and immediately they place you with a temp agency and tell you there will be a 6 month period where they are going to try you out. So right away- you don't have access to a lot of benefits that the ones that have been there for a way longer time have gotten. I was told that I was to be hired for Customer Service...as soon as I walked in they put me in Reception and told me that they decided to promote the receptionist into the spot I interviewed for. The customer service process was not always in the interest of the customer or in the pursuit of hanging onto their business. Because of this- customers would email in/call and gripe at the first person they could. 

It's an okay enough place to work- but the 6 month temp process (if you're even hired at the end of it) and the shady management is a turn off.

Hours were 8AM to 5PM, but my days were around 5 to 6AM to 5PM, not because it was required, but because I felt the need to get all the work there was to do, done in a timely manner.
I learned all functions of Purchasing/Inventory Control. I was in charge of 23 million dollar inventory.
Everyone that worked for SEW felt as I did. I was a great company, with excellent benifits, and upper management cared for their employees.
It was difficult at times to get all done that needed to be done in the time frame allowed, but this is what made the job interesting, and challenging.
The most enjoyable part of the job was the satisfaction of knowing that my contribution to SEW had value, and that I was a part in the overall growth of the company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people and the environment 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The hours were kinda crazy.  It was hard getting things done outside of work. I couldn't really spend much time with my family because of the hours I had to be at work. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awesome, Friendly and clean. No rats, spiders or anything crawling around. The people were very friendly and helpful when I would get stuck or unsure about anything. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Same thing different day. I was in charge of running the line everyday and packing. It was steady paced and fun. Being able to listen to my music made the time pass pretty quickly.

They run lean and have a great profit margin.  "Family run" but it's more of a "boys club" with poor management and no potential for growth within the company.  Outside sales are treated like royalty while hourly workers don't get much in terms of compensation or praise for how much they actually contribute to the company's success.  3% annual increase MAX based on performance.  If you have good work ethic and a passion for learning stay away.  Lower than average starting wages with decent benefits.  If your older and looking to skate by and let someone else do your work then this is the place for you.

Family oriented company that will work with you when things come up in your personal life. If you’ve shown you care about the almost 100 year old company as well. Managers are chosen by the old boys club and have no basis on whose best suited for a position. Managers have no clue how to even supervise workers who are off on their own program so they do nothing and breed resentment.  The company isn’t broke but the review that said 5 years of mandatory OT was right. I was there too. They won’t hire enough people and just abuse the ones they have.

The upper management are a bunch of bullies, if you breathe in the wrong direction you’ll more than likely receive a write up or some kind of disciplinary action. They lack good quality work due to the lack of caring. If they spent less time power tripping and more time resolving problems and listening to the people who do the actual work the place might become a better place. 

At SEW EURODRIVE they have great benefits and a on site medical team that is phenomenal. They are extremely flexible and willing to make sure that you are able to take care of your family whether medical, financial, etc. There is a gym with almost every piece of work out equipment you can thing of and they also offer discounts at YMCA , orielly's auto parts and a few more local businesses. The owners are there often and they don't hesitate to offer advice.

Management and all aspects are great. However, the pay needs to be better. There are great benefits and they tout these as being the reason for the low pay, however, nothing can compensate for being able to pay your bills. Otherwise they do take care of their employees in other ways. They do many things to make sure their employees are healthy such as health fairs, weight loss competitions, and an onsite nurse. Many things make this place a great place to be, but the pay just can't be excused.

Worked at sew for 9 years it is a great place to work there is nothing that is super hard work and the vaction and pto and paid holiday are nice and most of the benefits are great the only negatives are its very repetitive and the pay starts out ok but even if your a great worker the pay dosent increase much yearly and even if your a hard worker it will go unnoticed and if your not friends or family with management you will not get promotions

The benefits are great but that's about it. Management is very unethical and immoral with treatment of many of the employees which in turn has filtered down to many of the shop employees creating a cut throat mentality and toxic work conditions. Used to be a great family oriented company,but due to horrible management things have gone severely downhill and a lot of great employees with many years of service leaving.
