Management will lie to you.  They make promises they have no intention of keeping.  You will work for 12 plus hours a day on your feet.  

They don't care if your tired or sick; you must come to work or face threats of firing.  Miss 5 days in the year (includes bad weather and power outages) and get fired!  The sick policy is absolutely rediculous for parents or caregivers.

Management will play favorites (been there almost 20 years and have seen it the whole time).

The pay is great.  The benefits are outstanding.  The 12 hour shifts suck but you get used to them.  The forced holidays worked suck but you get used to them.  

Management and office workers treat you like trash.  You are expected to smile and appreciate it.  They pay so well that you really don't want to leave because replacing them would be hard to do financially.

They do layoff.  They do furlough.  They have tuition reimbursement.  They have generous bonuses.  They treat you like they did you a favor by hiring you.  Like your undeserving of your job if you have a complaint or an ideal they can't use.  In fact, they ask you for your opinion and then tell you to go find another job.

Everyone is replaceable.  They tell you that. Believe them.

Overall Toray is a great company. The benefits are top notch and the pay is great. Once you top out in a few years you’re making 70k a year and that’s with no overtime. Shift work is hard and you never get use to it. The current management at Toray is good as well. The manager over HR is very approachable and he is always willing to help. Since Toray merged with other Toray facilities some of the hometown feel it had is gone. Now everything basically goes through our sister Toray company in Tacoma, Washington. If you’re a production worker and that’s all you ever want to be then you can do that. If you want to move up or even go to a day job, those chances are slim to none. With that being said, that means there is a very low turnover at Toray in Decatur. Overall it’s a great place to work. 

Management, supervisor and HR don’t know what they are doing. Management and Supervisors show a lot of favoritism to a lot of people. Old workers don’t get raises and new workers get paid more. HR gives favoritism and makes you feel unwanted. Supervisors don't speak english and treats you like you don’t exist. You will never get a raise unless you beg and start doing politics with management. All the operators are cool and treat you like family. New management and Human Resources do a poor job. The turnover rate is high and Ogs are quitting. I do not recommend this Company. 

The number one thing people say about working here is how great the people are. It's a diverse group of people who are quite friendly.

Advancement within the company is common, with a large percentage of office and management personnel having been promoted from the production floor. A good attitude and a good deal of common sense will get you a long way.

There is a good amount of silo-ing within company , with each department having somewhat conflicting  priorities. There always seems to be some sort of initiative every year to reduce this but it still persists.

Benefits are great and are above average for the industry and area.

You will use your brain and hands in every role at Toray. Work hard and achieving your goals will be the frame work for many possible roles in the company. If you can lift the team members around you, there is much satisfaction that can come from this. Leaders know everyone on the team and fully understand your happiness is key to the companies success

Not a good company to work for at all. The management, as in HR, managers, supervisors.. etc, just suck! No other way to put it. They dont care about anything except "get it done and get it done quickly". They act like they care about safety but do not. Personal life? Throw it out the window! You work your life away. Every other weekend is mandatory. Lots of 12 hour shifts because they cant keep anyone employed so the turnover rate is ridiculous. I could go on forever. Highly do NOT recommend this company! Only good thing is the pay is fair.

The job was very easy and they train you how to do the job so you wont be left hanging. But anything after that I wish you luck. I was there for 5 years trying to get a lead roll but I did not get it. They would rather promote someone else then demote them a year later. You have to be in the loop to even be considered for a supervisory role. I did not hate my time there, there was good pay and benefits but very little opportunity for advancement.  

The manager at the time that I work there have a year or two before he was to retire he had been there 25 plus years when I came there I was struggling with some health problems just coming to the end of those problems the manager at the time I felt the need to make fun and ridicule who I was bring me in front of other employees it makes fun of me behind my back targeted me in the work environment they became harassment it became an unbearable situation to where I couldn't work there no longer

a good start job but in terms of a career look elsewhere only way to get hired is thru an agency & they barely help at all friendly staff but not much else only certain departments have a welcoming feeling but others have coworkers hating their work and it shows alot. the packing area has a great team work however

Great benefits, good coworkers. Lots of collaboration with other departments. Promote from within and there is support from management. It is a lot of work but the people there are really supportive if you ask for help. STRONG culture on safety first and very proud of it. Most departments are great there a some toxic departments that I wouldn't recommend working in but overall it's great.
