Thai-Summit-America-Corporation

Thai summit is a promote within company and I can appreciate that! However due to this the management team have a shop floor mentality and are not willing to develop with the ever changing industry. This made it difficult for me to do my job and also made it so the company lacks process.

This also being a Thai company there is a culture that does not apply to all employees. Thai employees are entitled to roles regardless of experience and they have regular gatherings that exclude non Thai employees.

My executive boss did not understand our department or scope of work and was regularly manipulated by my boss becuase of this. He is unfortunately naive and it cost him several good employees.

I put my two weeks in and found out my current boss attempted to slander my name at my new employers. After confront my boss I was escorted and terminated by the decision of "upper management" HR did express concern but seemed to either do little or were unable to do anything. 


Not a bad company to work for as for compensation and benefits.
 Associates or the heart of the company are for the most part great to work with. 
Management, facilitators and anything above suck! Company has double standards, favoritism issues.
Plenty of opportunities to advance provided your the company pet or know someone high up. 
Education means nothing leave that at the door because they promote people that aren't qualified for the position........ again as long as they like you.
You'll typically work 7 days so you won't get much family life and you'll be trapped on 2nd or 3rd shift for a long long time.
Watch your backside because the company is quick to back stab and point fingers at their employees.


I started as a forktruck driver in Shipping. Great pay, top out after only 3 years, plus extra at milestone anniversaries. $19 starting to $24-26 for regular floor workers. Much higher wages if you transfer to one of the skilled trade departments. I only worked every other Saturday maximum which was okay, weekends are always a more relaxed pace.

This company promotes from within. If you are a dedicated worker with good attendance and attitude, you will go far here. They also will help pay for college.

Best factory I have ever worked in. I have no plans to leave. They also have fantastic benefits. I am very happy with my healthcare and 401k.

I find that most of the people here who complain have never worked a truly bad job or are lazy in general. I think the pay to work ratio is more than fair.

Company itself is a delight to work for and when I started there were plenty of hardworking, knowledgeable floor personnel and hands-on management. Work-life balance was pretty standard with overtime available if desired.
Excellent benefits and good pay for relatively easy work.
Recently, the incoming workforce has been lacking at best. Budget cuts have led to company being understaffed and resulting in regular 7-day work week for floor personnel. Shifts in management have been jarring and company is less inclined to promote from within as it pulls from the limited amount of current knowledgeable floor employees. Upward mobility is lacking.

Your experience depends on what plant you're working in, but Plant 2 is decent. I was fortunate enough to be placed with one of their best teams on 2nd shift. If you're on a Simpac Servo press, you'll start racking & stacking, which comes with soreness to get used to. But if you demonstrate potential & interest in learning the roles around it, you can get forklift certified, operate a press, learn to troubleshoot minor errors of the machinery (lockout tagout) & more if you stay long enough. Room for growth, good money if you tolerate mandatory overtime (every other weekend). It's about as strict as any other decent manufacturing job.

Management has favorites and unless you are one of them you will never advance or achieve your goals. They say they are supportive but if you disagree you probably start looking for another job. If you are native Thai you will be included automatically in management decisions-no matter what your title. If you aren't good luck getting management to listen to suggestions.

I enjoy what I do, I just don't enjoy doing it here because I have no support or appreciation.

At a senior level, it should be about the quality of work, knowledge and meeting deadlines. I have found that it's more about if you are at your desk from 8-5 every day.

It’s ok place to work, co workers are pretty chill, floor managers are pretty good.
HR is very stressful, and will get frustrated with you, that is the one problem I would watch out for, I worked there for a month and asked Human Resources if I can switch from 3rd shift to a different shift because it was hard hours on me , and they gave me a resignation form instead. I felt very disrespected. Human Resources will treat you like a contract and only care about money. Don’t waste your time with this place, your just selling your soul to work 7 days a week without any holiday off.

What is the best part of working at the company?
That I know almost everything that has to ran on the floor. Been there since they opened up.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
We have deadlines and they have to be met.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is fine because I don’t go to work to make friends . I go to work to make my money 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fast and on point. Have a meeting every morning of what needs to go out.

Human Resources at Thai Summit is all about covering for facilitators, up. They're NOT for the people working on the floor. Doesn't matter if the floor workers are 100% in the right, the bosses are 100% wrong, they're always covering up for the bosses. It's an extremely shady place to work... Unless you don't care about how you're treated.

It was definitely one of my favorite jobs. Was it great? It could have been worse. Like every job there's good and bad. You do get mandated for weekends but if you volunteer they are less likely to make you, the pay is pretty good, especially if you work the weekends, over time is awesome. Management was kind of bad, but the people for the most part are pretty chill. I'd still be there if I hadn't left due to family issues.
