Shifts start at 4:55 am and pm respectively for day and night shifts and end at 5 pm and am, respectively. Hours are long and you get breaks after 2 hours, 2 10 minute paid breaks, a 20 minute paid break, and another 2 10 minute breaks over the course of your 12 hour shift. System is based upon a 2 week rotating schedule where the days you work one week are the days you are off the next and vice versa, with the exception of mandatory overtime. Max hours that can be worked a week are 60. Most weeks you work between 36 and 48 hours. The management and powers that be are making many changes to the systems of production and inventory processes. There is a lot of changes going on right now and much in the way of expansion. People are friendly enough and the work is not too hard. People have relaxed a little bit since my hire date, but many of those that do not hold operator positions need to get fresh help and management needs to address training new people. Training is minimal as most training comes from operator instruction sheets, not always seasoned employees who have worked that job before who can show you personally the ins and outs of a particular job.

I was hired by Tribar in August of 2022 as a Master Planner to join a new department that I was told was being developed. The day after being hired, I was informed that the employee who I would be training under was taking a 3-week vacation starting immediately. I was then left to head a Tier 1 automotive program by myself with no management, no training, and no support. Despite the extremely difficult start, I was able to learn the position on my own, and quickly corrected the issued that arose from placing a completely untrained employee in charge of a program. There are no standards and practices for the company, no accurate bookkeeping or inventory, and the company is on credit hold with the majority of their vendors from unpaid invoices. The Monday after Thanksgiving, I was sent an Email by HR with a letter signed by the new operations manager stating that I was being terminated immediately with no reason, notice, or explanation. I only give this company one star because zero stars isn't an option. This company only still exists because there's no competition.

The owners of Tribar treat us hard working employees like we are robots with absolutely no feelings, no self respect, or even have a life outside that building. We’re the ones working hard 10-12 hrs a day, 6-7 days a week sweating,  short staffed, stressed out making them rich and they show us absolutely NO appreciation at all! They took away the bonuses we used to get, the profit sharing we used to get, cut our vacation time down, gives us no sick days, and does absolutely NOTHING for their employees during the holidays but at the last minute tells us we HAVE to work or we will have repercussions and won’t receive any holiday pay. WTF we have families and make holiday plans, but you WONT EVER see them working a holiday!  My paycheck was always messed up and would have to fight with HR to get the hours and $ I worked extremely hard for. Living paycheck to paycheck I NEED every dollar I worked for. The health Ins is HORRIBLE ! They got rid of the good ins we used to have for, cheaper for them but more expensive for us, HORRIBLE ins! Just save yourself the stress and anxiety and DO NOT WORK HERE! 

Where do I start. I started at tribar 3 and a half years ago. I've been holding out hoping rhey would give use better pay. Well they did. The starting pay went up 2 dollars an hour. But.. the cap out remained the same. So you can only make 2 dollars more no matter how many years you've been there. As an operator, under this nee pay scale, I make the same amount of money per hour as a new hire. They evaluate you every 3 months. So instead of paying you a wage that's more along the lines of what you should be making... they'll come up with multiple ways in which you need to get better just so they don't have to give you any more money. They did that to me TODAY. So if I were you, take this little bit of information I just gave you and multiply it by 10. That's how bad it is. Look somewhere else for work. I promise you'll be more appreciated anywhere else. The janitor gets more appreciation than us operators do. So please, find somewhere else to work. Don't apply to this place just because you need a job. Apply somewhere else. Anywhere else. Don't be underappreciated and underpaid. 

I've heard lots of good changes have been made since i was there but it was poorly managed and people seemed more concerned about covering their own rear and who they could blame things on than actually doing good work. Gossip was suffocating, atmosphere was unnecessarily tense far too often and most management seemed to just see what would happen instead of taking proper preventative measures. Follow through was abhorrent, so many good ideas implemented then just left to the wayside only for issues to arise that would have been avoided if they had followed through on procedures. 

  But, all you really had to do was show up. Some people sucked at their job but they showed up on time, all the time and a home was always found for them. Generally the people were pleasant, you always got paid, the shifts may seem weird but it is a good option depending on what you need. Plus all my negative stuff from above was really starting to improve before i left. So give it a shot!

Plenty of overtime if you want and need it. But severely understaffed. Extremely overworked and underpaid. HR is almost impossible to get ahold of for a vareity of concerns. Management is extremely toxic and immature and unprofessional. They try to make their own rules thay aren't even company policy. The overall environment is extremely poor. Laughable at best. It's actually good work with good hours, but terrible vibe and work environment due to everyone stressed out and treating everyone poorly. Raising wages, incentives, and bonuses would make it a decent place, but there's none of that. Highly do not recommend unless your patience is of master level. 10/10 don't do it unless asking for higher wage.

I used to work in the office at Tribar and we had a 69 % turn over rate, and an average employment rate of 3 years. There's an extreme drug problem and the management team allows their employees come into work intoxicated and operate heavy machinery, OSHA should be notified its truly a violation. They have a facebook account that they spy on current employees with when people who work there unknowingly add them. Their termination process is unfair, while multiple other people will be written up for multiple incidences other people will be fired without notification, or write ups for the same incidences, this is a corporate monster and no matter what they tell you in orientation, you will not get what you're looking for out of Tribar. The only good part is you might make friends. Do yourself a favor and explain to yourself you deserve better.

Before, as a mom and pop shop it was run in crazy- no organization in pay - another person on my line was there less time than me and paid more. No reviews.  No culture unless you were friends with the supervisors - plus they worked 7 days and were paid less.  Now, we are getting review, they have an easy to understand pay scale for all positions.  We have had our first holidays off, first weekends off since i can remember.  it is getting cleaner, more vending machines and they have reports on the wall where we can tell how much and how well we are producing.  Lots of people are leaving and lots of people don't like change, but they don't like to work either.  Current management is promoting and I'm hoping to get my shot!

All cultures get along peacefully it’s just the supervisor and they little pets team lead 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very stressful annoying difficult long dull and argumentative supervisor and pet

Most companies care about the overall appearance and mentality of their employees. I can’t stand their unwillingness to improve a single individuals work life. People constantly encounter issues with work, people, etc. I’ve seen multiple people harassed and I’ve even tried to help fix the situation with facts, quotes, and lists of respectable coworkers that have been there for years. This company is based on greed alone and delegating everything. They’re concerned as to why the company is failing and yet it’s right in front of them. If they showed me more respect for the effort I constantly put in I could change their downhill spiral alone.
