TPI Composites

The typical day of work at TPI is getting your hand off from the previous shift, analyzing what needs to be done and in what order, and doing it. While working with TPI I learned proper use of calipers, micrometers, easy lasers, torque gauges, and various other tools. I also learned how a wind turbine blade is constructed, how to repair the defects if there are any, why various steps and processes exist. I also learned what impact defects have on a blade and the possible outcome of them. The Managers at TPI seem somewhat out of place in a factory setting, they excel at mediating situations between co-workers and do their best to promote activity and safety. Many co-workers at TPI are more than happy to inform or update their fellow associates on proper steps to take in various situations, or how to preform a step of the process. The single hardest part of being a Quality Inspector at TPI is climbing inside of the blade, it's a confined area and offers very little room for maneuvering. The most enjoyable thing I experienced as a quality inspector at tpi was the co-workers, a majority of them are friendly people willing to lend a hand when needed.

Continuous exposure to numerous hazardous chemicals (styrene, formaldehyde, etc) with very lax or non-enforced safety protocols (company seemed to lack understanding of hazards).  Management demonstrated poor understanding of actual products, production methods, and related systems, which often led to poor decision making or inactivity (or resistance) related to necessary improvements and development opportunities.  Company initially seemed to have potential for making advances in composite pultrusion and other mass production techniques, but once working there it became evident that resources and corporate structure were inadequate for real advancement.

So I work for this company for about 3 to 4 years traveled across the country multiple times and then the pandemic came they asked me to travel to California and when I returned I was told I was going to be able to quarantine for two weeks by upper management. The management gave me false information and I was terminated after  quarantine  company is totally unfair to work for and they will work you to the Bone if you let them The day after I returned I had some minor symptoms and decided to quarantine in New Hampshire with my immediate family you don't like what I was doing during my quarantine after working being a reliable employee in working tons of all the time

Learned the 48.7 meter blades and the 50.2s 
Management in some fields were okay, a lot were hired outside the company with no blade experience whatsoever 
Co-Workers upon my employment were great, you did have your lazy workers and your get it done and get it done right type. 
Hardest part about the job and converting from the 48.7 meter blades to the 50.2 blades.  Some differences in the blades and some comparisons 
Most enjoyable part is getting to know your fellow workers, helping your company achieve their goals.  Becoming a part of the training department helping the new hires and associates struggling 1 on 1 with difficult tasks they don't understand.

TPI was exciting with the involvement of green energy and the size of the operation. the best part of the job was training new employees in the fabrication of wind turbine composite blades. Management was great and allowed myself to learn the process, put together a training process, train new employees. The most enjoyable portion of the job was the long hours spent bringing the operation into full production, the hardest portion of the job was the very long hours we spent making the operation successful. I learned much on green energy and the pitfalls of making the change to wind energy in the US.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Absolutely not applicable.  They treat you like property so there were no “best” parts

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Just being there, mistreatment and enabling of personal attacks against employees.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Malicious, cruel, sadistic and absolutely dehumanizing.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My days off and vacation. Whatever day I’m not there.

working with this company helps create job opportunities to excel in direct position within the company, base on work performances and dedications. The most important thing I enjoy working with TPI is being punctual and treating their employee with respect and appreciation. Secondly, I enjoy working with TPI because they make you work longer hours with overtime, it helps me get more money helping families members and relatives to pay their bills and have some extra money available

What is the best part of working at the company?
N/a,  I wouldn't say they have anything great going for them. They refuse to fire people that stand around and don't work...

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It's a good old boys system. So one terrible leader brings on another and another. Tell no one does anything right.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile. But they had people from 62 countries. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Try and start up, find out nothing had been done the shift prior. Fix and rework. Just a waste of time and money

Typically did not exceed 40 hours per week. Morning management meeting to share actions and develop new action items. Management had implemented well structured methods of operation. Culturally I sensed a separation of agenda between management and production workers.The most enjoyable part of the job was when I was able to take production workers ideas and implement them into a project. The hardest part of the job was dealing with workers who displayed a sense of entitlement on the Production floor.

Company culture is bad.   People are treated badly by other people. There is a sense of arrogance, I’ll use of power and control issues in leadership roles and management. Prejudice and racism Is  evident in some.  It is clear through time, that the company really doesn’t care so much about you as the employee.  Also, hope that life doesn’t throw you any curveballs while you work there, becausethe company point system will crush you and they don’t care about your personal issues, they will get rid of you.
