What is the best part of working at the company?
It was 30 minutes from home all the over time I could want or not want  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Many things 4 ten hour days for a work week sounds great but never happened 6 to 7 days a week 10 to 12 hours a day you get time off but can’t use it because you have to work weekends which is overtime which they tell you is mandatory if you miss you get wrote up your only scheduled to work 4 ten hour days Monday through Thursday so you can’t use pto time or vacation time for weekends because your schedule doesn’t show you have to work on there ADP app that you have to put on your phone to clock in and out and everything else and they move you around in departments just to keep you from getting a raise or having to give you one and the way they do pay is fishy to me every thing is all broken up in the app you can’t never put in and take vacation time when you want to you’re a valuable resource as long as they can use you 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Japan owed American run sum what no one is your friend come to work and go home keep you private 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Nobody knows anything you don’t know how many days in a row you have to work if you’re off the weekend until Thursday so don’t make plans if you do work Friday Saturday and Sunday probably 12 hours they don’t know depending on if they have parts if machines aren’t broken if both shifts made shipments they don’t know if they do they will let you know at the last minute so you will not have a life

I truly feel bad for the workers who have been there for a long time. They work 12 hours a day 7 days a week. Including holidays. And they make the same money as a new hire. They look exhausted all the time and say things like. "I just don't know why I feel so tired all the time". They are always pushed for better production. Which is fine but the targets are impossible to hit because of the machines always breaking. No joke on any given day. I bet 2 out of 8 hours is wasted on machine malfunction. Maintenance can't fix anything because they don't have the proper parts. Just put a bandaid on it. Everyday. It's cheaper to fire and rehire than to fix the machines. They pay is ok starting out. But no advancement opportunities. No vaccination requirements. But they want people to wear masks. Even though everyone has already gotten covid. So alot of good it has done. Went threw the place like wildfire. Still is. If you have no home life. Enjoy being told that you have to work weekends. "Regardless of what they say when you start" and don't mind catching covid. This is the place for you. 84/hours a week is about $1000 paycheck.

Its normally chaos every day. I began on nights (were absolutely no one cares about their job including management). I began school in May(Night Classes) so i had to switch to the day shift. Thinking it would be better with more management but i was mistaken. More work, stress, and alot more unprofessionalism to deal with. Management talking down on employees. Knowledge of bad quality parts from other manufactures and they turn their eye and blame the operator. The machines that i have worked with hardly work properly and its almost impossible to get anything fixed(unless its making out of spec. parts or completely broken).Advancement is all about who you know not knowledge, skill or experience.Being one of a handful who can over exceed production numbers on a daily basis you are expected to continually get the over exceeded numbers even if you have bad components a machine that's not working properly or all of the above. With them not doing a thing about the bad quality or fixing your machine. In the end you are getting talked down on for not hitting the over exceeded numbers.

I worked at the the flemingsburh ky factory. Worse place ive ever worked, supervisors/line leaders would run and hide or set in the office all the time. Mandatory overtime 7 days a week 12 hours a day its awful, machines constantly break down and the maintence men are to worried about getting in yhe workers pants than they are fixing the machines. I was told through a temp angency that id be hired full time after 90 days yeah right!! There was temps that had been there for 8+ years a still a temporary!! Used to be allowed to wear whatever kind of shirts you wanted to until the "big guys" came in and they realized there are more temps than full time so they just made everyone wear the same colored shirts!! Lol PATHETIC! They nees to open 3 shifts so their workers arent such a slave to their jobs and they can spend time with people who actully care about them THEIR FAMILIES! I will never work here again and i dont recommened anyone else to work here!

I worked at Toyo for over a year and within that timeframe the enjoyment I received from working there gradually decreased. My co-workers and supervisors were all great to be around but they lacked the motivation to get the job done and done well. There was limited management oversight and any time that an issue was addressed there was nothing done to settle it. It is an easy place to get into, as all you have to do is fill out an application with Reliable Staffing and pay for a drug test; but the issue with that lies with the type of workers that are hired through the staffing agency. In my time there, I was witness to at least 40+ people walking out within their first 2 days, and that was just in my department. The supervisors in my department were courteous and did everything that they could to help if there was an issue. There are a few key issues that need to be fixed with this place and if they were, it would be a great place to work.

I worked there for just over 2 years. In those 2 years I watched as numerous people walked off the job. The line I was on worked 6-7 days a week, 12 hr days, 4pm til 4am. This left you absolutely no time for anything. Couldn't make doctors appointments, see family etc.... The managers could care less about the workers. Line leaders hide from everyone all the time, machines break down constantly. You can tell someone something is wrong, off spec or broke and they shrug it off. Constantly getting yelled at even if you told them it was wrong and the supervisor passes it. Pretty easy to get in, thru a temp service but good luck on the whole promise of getting hired in 90 days. There's temps that have been there over 3-5 years that haven't gotten hired. The shops dirty, smokey, and overall unsanitary. Girls will throw their used feminine products on the floor in the bathroom....

This company has so many good people that are just set in their ways. Departments step over each other like siblings in a dysfunctional family. Managers don't actually run the departments, they work on projects and have no time to develop people, set goals, or plan for the future. Speaking of the future, we are not sure we have one. When asked in the all employee meetings, the president of the company stated that there was no plan for next year. People crave leadership, stable processes, and the right tools to do their jobs. Toyo Seat uses technology, processes, and a management style from a bygone area. The only thing lacking is accountability, because everyone is too busy to be able to hold anyone accountable.

If you enjoy working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, with no vacation for the 1st year then this is your place! If your choice is jail or work think twice before deciding. There is zero work life balance and the turnover is extremely high. They have burned through the local workforce and have had to hire people from out of state. The one saving grace is if you need to put some money together the amount of overtime allows you to save up some money quickly. The leadership doesn't seem to care about the turnover so I don't see anything changing in the near, or distant, future.

overall toyo seat was one of the best places i've ever worked, however because of certain choices by manager(s) my work life became a living nightmare. the pros to this place are many it has great healthcare,dental,vision, and life insurance once hired on. most employs are friendly, and most jobs were straight forward. however some managers would eagerly throw you under the bus to get out of blame. and sometimes the effort to get maintenance to show up to your area was absurd. I really liked toyo seat and even most of its employs but the few bad apples have chased many away during my 5 years there and i doubt that will change.

Worked here for about a year. There was no reason to stay. People with 5. 10, 20 or 30 years in made the same money which was only maybe a dollar more than i was making. So I did not want to waste me time at a company with no future in sight. If someone has been at a company for 1, 2 or 3 decades thier hard work, loyalty and dedication to the company should be reflected in the pay. 
The people are nice, the pay sucks. Im glad I did not waste to much of my precious life at toyo  like those poor people that have been there for so long and get treated like a statistic. They get treated like 20 years means nothing to the company. I could not see myself staying at a company to make 1 more dollar in 30 years. Good luck to all ypu there. Thanks for warning me before i invested to much time for nothing.
