Well, that's what this place is in a nutshell, a dumpster fire. People in management, especially top management have no clue what they are doing when it comes to employee happiness or work/family balance. They are more concerned with getting an annual bonus. Morale is extremely low as they have 100+ cameras watching everything you do and people who monitor you. 

One of my coworkers said they would rather have a body in a seat/station being quiet than listen to employees who can improve productivity and save the company money. 

Everything trickles from the top down and it's not good, management seems to have this gorilla chest-beating mentality when it comes to being part of a team. 

People upstairs (mostly management) force you to work 45 hours a week, not 40 like most typical places. So, if you make a $50,000 salary, you are not making $24.04 per hour, you are making $21.37 per hour. 

Most people who work here don't come because they want a job, they come because they need a job as management spends lots of their time focusing on people working at their station/desk, if you spend any amount of time chatting with others, they think you are farting around, even if its work related. 

20-minute lunches for most of us, management gets 30-minute lunches, going off-site is discouraged, smoking in your car is prohibited. 

Got our quarterly "bonus" and it was $35.00, yes $35.00. The email about this stated that we are a team and needed to work even when we are sick to be productive. 

Pay is much lower than other plants in the region, although you do get paid weekly. Annual bonuses are a small 2-3% adjustment. 

The building leaks and there is mold in several places, home depot/lowes buckets are put out when it rains more than a day. 

Do not work here. 

In three weeks I watched multiple employees fired for reasons unknown. I watched management bypass poor work performances from individuals who couldn’t see or keep up with machines. Several worked stunk of fresh weed which if they were actively high could produce a safety issue. Upper management seems to by tyrannical you’re either their person or they find a way to fire you. Word in the plant is all employees are scared of lay offs. They have multiple presses and consistently don’t have enough work and many workers 5+ are made to clean/sweep daily. They are second chance friendly but they prey on individuals who can’t get positions in other places. They pay the bare minimum which is evident by their employee choice. Many of the employees are temps which is their easy way to cut ties. 

Generally as long as you did your job you weren't bothered to much. I learned a new software setup and how to get things done internally, whether that will translate to another position with another company it is hard to say. 

The management here was fine they did their job but mostly had to avoid tripping on egg shells. The hardest part of the job was not knowing where the company stood, you were mostly in the dark. Its almost if you knew too much, IE product not flowing per usual that your days as an employee were soon to be numbered. 

Personally I think turnover was too high and not paid enough attention.

The people I worked with were mostly enjoyable to work with. 

The job itself is simple and easy when there is either nothing going on or if there's a fair amount of co-workers with you. However, if TPS notices that you're capable of working by yourself or a much higher work load than what everyone else normally does they will absolutely take advantage of you and work you to the bone. On any shift you will have to clean up after someone else because they will drop everything they're doing and botch a task in the process of a shift change. People who work at this place on the production floor don't last long because of the work culture consisting of people who bring their personal life into there and gossip about other people because they peaked in High School.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Co workers and air conditioning throughout the plant. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Wondering when you were going to be laid off. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This is very tricky to answer, depending on if you’re liked, this place is very heavy toward favoritism and if you’re liked you have it made. You will have a good job, and a good work life. If you’re not a favorite, your life will be miserable until you’re pushed out the door, no matter how hard you work, or how good your attendance is. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Look at parts and watch upper management take smoke breaks all day.

I believe tessy was a great place to work because it was a stable job and you were ALWAYS busy. sure, sometimes it felt overwhelming but the management is great and will help you catch back up if needed. My only complaint is that the pay isnt that great. Sure, 9 dollars an hour isnt too bad for a kid that needs money for small bills and to go out but for someone with a family and bills to pay and people to provide for, i just dont feel as if that is enough especially for a factory job. Of course i understand that it is a business and they have to gauge the amount they pay based off production and number of workers but i still feel as if the pay grade is lacking.

A typical day at work is that I review all the production shift reports and cycle count any inventory that may have issues, I also fix an review any production folders that need to be made in Cell A and B. I also pull and "Open Order Report" for one of the top customers and review it and make sure that we are on time with all deliveries for the week. I work with the Production Assistant in monitoring the inventory and adjusting items when needed. I answer phone calls from the customers when they call in with question on there products.

You have the weekends off ,not much of an opportunity for overtime. Work has been currently slow. You go into work assigned to a machine and you work for 8 hours straight. Breaks are short. Turnover rate is high,it's an easy job however the enviroment will make you feel like you are in High School Again. Lots of drama everyday. Best to keep your head down,do your job,and leave . It's best to try to get an office position if you can.

I would work here my last choice. Managment was very poor,supervisor very unprofessional. He only wore the title never been trained. He don"t know how to treat people. Only certain people could operate the machine that produces by it self, and certain people on the machine you have to feed all night.And he put the same people on the same machine. Not fair at all he had his picks like every job.

My day at work consists of operating machines and assembling the products.My sonic weld or run a press on other days.The managers are eager to cross train employers on different machines and presses.My co-workers that are in my area are like family we help each other learn.Hardest part of my job is probably getting overtime,but for the most part i like it. Only reason i am leaving is that i am moving other than that i would stay
