What is the best part of working at the company?
There's nothing good about working with people that have work together for 20 plus years they see outside or new hires as people taking their jobs they don't want to train you they don't want to show you anything if you take initiative to try to find out stuff they shut you out when layoffs come they are basically laying you back off because they want to keep their little organization kept together they take 30 smoke breaks and when you decide to take a 5 minute break they ask you what are you doing they come to work put their bag down and grab that cigarettes and start smoking to the point that the warehouse has layers of smoke in it and you can't breathe North see really every little thing that goes on they threaten you of losing your job if you don't want to go here go home if you feel as though you can't pick this up go home if you ask them a question or ask for their help they say you don't need to be here but really bad experience in the company itself is over asserting itself by buying all types of access and coming to find out that it's not working and then they start laying off and cutting back hours you're working 8 to 9 hours daytime 3 to 5 hours in the evening and all the rest of them are home in bed resting and you working a total of 12 13 hour days 5 days a week and they ask you why you get so much overtime if you rush they ask you to take your time if you take your time to ask you to rush if you do the speed limit they say you're going to slow there's no winning with this company they switch to a third party was took most of the expensive out of their pocket and put it on the third party which is business since and pushing others out of work

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working at transtar is people constantly looking over your shoulder pushing the blame of their work and other coworkers on you everybody's not carrying their weight when something comes about they say you was told but you never was told or showed us or given a handbook I went through two deaths in the family just to find out that we had a grievance time to take off that no one told us about after 5 years

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is kind of shady everybody smile in your face talk behind your back and pass Blame

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Coming in trying to get through the day without incident

My work week starts at 6.00am monday morning  I normaly arive about 45 minutes early and listen to 100.3 the sound radio station.
Good music good funnies starts a good day. Say good morning to all clock in and proced to the tool room. Over the years I"ve learned that doing this type of work is always changing and always a challange.
Management here has a healthy attitued very frindly and knowledgable.  They keep things running smooth, there when you need them.  Workers get together in the lunch room and we play dominos or cards. Everyone here is pretty easy going and easy to get along with that's nice!  There's no real hardest part of this job, maybe
the patience involved in working metals can be vigerious. But at the end day or each project I finish, knowing did a quilty job feels good.
I really love this kind of work everything I do has something to do with making things using the skills I've been blessed with. 

Working at Transtar gave me the opportunity to build strong relationships with wholesale automotive customers and expand my knowledge of the transmission and automotive aftermarket industry. The people I worked with were helpful, and I enjoyed helping customers find solutions to difficult parts and technical issues.

The downside was the amount of organizational change during my time there. Branch closures, account reassignments, and shifting responsibilities created uncertainty. Communication from leadership could have been more consistent during these changes.

Despite those challenges, I gained valuable experience with customer relationship management, sales, and problem solving. I enjoyed working with my customers and many of my coworkers, and I left with skills that will benefit me in future sales roles.

All my co-workers were very friendly and helpful. There isnt really any room for growth once you are hired. In the feve years i was there I had four bosses and I dont just mean supervisors. about every year corperate would find a new one. the only good one was the one I had when I started and he had been doing it for fifteen years I believe. When he left and all the following bosses were hired they came from outside the company so they didnt have a clue about the industry, this really hurt the company. As for job security it wasnt bad until they bought out a smaller competitive company in another state and shut our entire plant down, laying off 150 workers so they could have cheaper workers at the company they bought out.

My duties include: Establishing, developing and maintaining business relationships with current customers and prospective customers in the assigned territory/market segment to generate new business for the organization’s products/services. Make telephone calls and in-person visits and presentations to existing and prospective customers. Research sources for developing prospective customers and for information to determine their potential. Develop clear and effective written proposals/quotations for current and prospective customers. Expedites the resolution of customer problems and complaints. Coordinates sales effort with marketing, sales management, accounting, logistics and technical service  groups.

I was able to do my job as I felt needed done and still in compliance with company needs. When something needed updated, I could do so with proper explanations and costs presented before hand. Justification and presentation are key to success and this place allowed for this. Permitting company growth. Interaction with all levels to provide best IT service to everyone and improve little things that would make a big difference down the road. 

This company is a joke.  I was told when I was hired that this is an understanding and train heavy company.  That is at the very least laughable.  I should have been trained for at least two weeks, I was trained for 2 days.  I was then expected to know everything I wasn't trained for.  The regional manager is a joke, who only got to his position by obviously back stabbing the previous regional.  The company as a whole does not care if you have a family medical emergency. You are expected to work even if a family member is in the hospital and in poor shape.  I would not recommend working for this company, much less do business with them. Worst place I've ever worked for.

Hardest part of the job is telling customers that we didnt have the parts in stock and that they could be ordered from other locations and would take 3-5 days and shipping would be about an extra 30.00..
Not being trained on how to do most of the daily things needed is bad and when asked its learn it yourself.
When and if you have a staff they are usually good..thats the saving grace.
Corp needs to concentrate on all things not just the new shiny purchase they just aquired,and push off the older aquisitions and discard them like last years xmas toys.

A typical day at work was a hard working face paced environment. I learned how to run a lathe acquiring minor skills. Our management team was a very fair and great team to be a part of. The co-workers were the best part of the job working at Transtar. Any question you had or would have they would help find the answer if they didn't know themselves. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the engineering team and meeting our goals. The engineering team did not want to work in a team effort with the floor workers. The most enjoyable part of the day was getting to see your coworkers.
