Toyoda Gosei

It is frowned upon and frequently not allowed that you attend your children's school functions, sporting events, or have to get them from school due to illness if it interferes with your production of parts.  Some of those in charge are very confrontational and have little respect for the workers beneath them.  There are some good people there as well but the overall atmosphere (instilled by those above them) creates a very unhealthy environment, even if you are lucky enough to work for the good ones.  Working weekends are common.  You are expected to work on short notice.  Basically you are on call 24 hrs a day and 7 days a week if they need you, if you refuse to work on short notice expect to be written up. Ironically if demand for your product diminishes and they need less parts from you, prepare to take time off without pay with little notice, while your salaried bosses still make the same amount of money and still get those bonuses. If you are there long enough to get vacation days you can bet at some point you will have to cancel your planned day off because they need you or someone else they like better wants that time off.    At times the smell in the plant is unbearable and the noise as well.  Worst atmosphere I have ever worked in.

I worked on the BMW  line. After the inserts finished I became Billy spare parts. Every shift consisted of cleaning while my workmates did disappearing acts leaving me with all the work. I also inspected but again had to leave this training to constantly help out elsewhere. My last shift ended as a former work colleague turned up 3 hours late then took a cigarette break and was told a total of 15 times that this was his last chance. In the meantime guess who was left with all the work? The air flows on machines were reversed on me covering me in black microscopic fibres went down my throat and I began to choke. I was ill for 3 days. I still went to work and the playground activity still carried on. Eventually I left during the shift as I just couldn't take any more. My supervisor was lovely but needed to be tougher. I miss the staff. Get rid of the idiots and decent staff will want to work there. The 6.31 for a night shift is a disgrace. Concept recruitment should be ashamed. I used to get phone calls 2 hours after I had come home from a night shift with no consideration for my sleep pattern. When I explained this at the jobcentre they were  embarrassed as they put me forward for it. If you work there remember your just a number.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Having previously worked at a molding company, this was a good fit. Toyoda is excellent for quality overall. Compensation for the location is very good.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Most stressful part working for the company is that you're expected to be able to complete your shift without much defect on the parts that you are making/producing.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very nice. Straight up Japanese culture is welcoming and rewarding in self confidence and can do attitude. Work smart and be productive.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in and clock in, pre-work meeting with stretch exercises and then to your press to start the process of making truck parts from molding machine to finish production without defects.

What is the best part of working at the company?
When you leave, clocking out to go home and leaving the b.s. that they feed you everyday has to be the @highlight.com

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management is a joke and the h.r. department is not there to help the people, instead of calling them human  resource workers they should be called the people that will screw you over the most.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hot, dirty and very stressful, if you want to live a short life then this is the job for you.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Getting yelled at for doing everything wrong,  everything gets blamed on the employees that woek the hardest here, and nothing ever gets blamed on management. It's always the little guys fault.

Work life balance is horrible. You never know if you work an 8 hour shift or have to work 12s. Management is horrible about favoritism. They have no respect for people's outside life and just focus on getting parts out the door. They treat supervision with so much disrespect and have no idea what they deal with on a daily basis and do not lend a hand if tasks are not being completed on time. The operators are FANTASTIC to work with but most are burnt out and overworked so the moral is horrible. Nobody wants to take the time to stand back and look at the reasons behind low productivity or turnover or don't want to take the time to train new people the way they should. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The other employees make the job itself not as stressful 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with the lack of trained supervisors and their lack of care for their employees 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is not bad within the team members themselves but put the supervisors in the mix and it makes for a bad situation, the culture has gotten much worse over the years as the transition from Japanese owned to someone else

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Starts out knowing you have 1000 parts to have made in 8 hours and you just hope your machine doesn't break down.

i worked here with promises that were not kept even though my job performance was excellent.  the physical work was exhausting and sprawled out over several buildings.  The computer work was more aesthetic than important to anything the company is actually building which is basically plastic tubing for gasoline in automobiles.  They are obsessed with cleaning the plant floor but no one leaves there job station or is bothered by a forman.  I was promised a full time or part time permanent position and it was pulled out from under me and they left me hanging without any security.  I felt i had nothing left to do there so i left before they handed me my walking papers.

I really enjoyed working at Toyoda Gosei. I loved learning everything (each process). Management is not very good. They had 3 different sets of Management while I was there. Workplace culture is good, a lot of diversity. HR was very good when I was hired on, then they let go of the person who really knew about the company and did the best they could for everyone. Replaced them with 2 others that really had no idea of how the company was or how to help employees. The hardest part of the job is having to answer to too many people. The most enjoyable part of the job, is meeting new people and learning new things. 

This job is great if you don’t mind standing for long hours while assembling 2-6 step parts. Unlike the main plant, you only assemble small components for the trucks, for example, plastic housing for the radio, the compartment box, the housing for the gauges, etc… they take a few seconds to assemble and you have to do that for the 8-10hours per day, 5-6 days a week depending on production needs. There is no shortage of work so this job is perfect for a constant flow of cash. Benefits are decent but only assessable after you have been hired on by the company. Two weeks of shut down. One in the summer, one during winter holidays. Paid fully only when you are hired on by the company. Temp employees will have to work if they want to be paid which is usually deep cleaning the warehouse. 

Management is unrealistic and uncaring. The work culture breeds incompetence and laziness. If you are someone who values their time and takes pride in doing a job well, you will quickly find yourself constantly frustrated. Benefits are average, starting pay is good for the area, but raises are minimal and infrequent. Attendance policy is punishing and unforgiving, even in emergencies and acts of God. Scheduling for assembly workings is nonexistent, you can be sent home without pay on Wednesday because of lack or work, then be forced to work that same Saturday because not enough was produced during the week.
