Trico Group

Trico bought FRAM & Autolite from Rank Group. Once Trico (Crowne Group) owned it, all of our progress stopped. No training. No development. All decisions were solely financial. Numerous workforce reductions, none of which seemed to make any sense and seemed to happen at random times. New hires were awful. They slow pay suppliers and customer rebates (burn the wick at both ends). Closed our location in Ohio and forced everyone to relocate or take severance. Severance was fair, but no one is absolutely sure the company would even be solvent long enough to make all the payments. Witnessed the death of a couple of great brands and a great 25-yr site.

A typical day starts by me sitting in the parking lot wondering why I'm working for a failure of a company(Horizon Global, a side project of First Brands Group).They've cut shifts I'm on twice in 2 years.First was night shift and now Weekend with a $3/hr loss to our checks.It's depressing and I'm not motivated enough to care at this point.There is no culture.Just a bunch of lazy and boring people who can't speak English.This place just dumps all over anyone who actually tries Bosses are phony and transparent.

I started in January of this year, they wanted to fire me for going to see my dying father who had brain mets, on top if it senior management makes all the wrong calls that screws you and the whole department you work for over, not to mention flooding everyone with OT. The building is filthy inside, theres metal shavings in the air with no purifier running and the temp is usually 20-25 degrees hotter than what it is outside. There is no joy in working there, not when the people above your floor supervisor are making daft decisions.

I was recently let go because of my health. I missed a few more days than allowed and I was on FMLA. They have this policy called a “2nd chance” which they didn’t even give me the option of taking. Some workers don’t wear the proper PPE and they say nothing to them!! The place is a joke and a full of “daycare” people..meaning most of them are young adults and goof off more than they work and they don’t take safety seriously!!

Terrible company, every decision is dollar based, surprised they're still open. EVERY decision is based on dollars, no thought, just cut cut cut. Checks are short, not on time, don't pay suppliers, pull money from YOUR 401K, I"m honestly surprised they have not yet went under. If you're thinking about Trico, looks elsewhere.

The day starts by walking into the most disgusting factory you'll have ever set foot in. There is literal oil that drips from the ceilings while you work. It usually runs about 20 degrees hotter than it is outside, and youre watched like a hawk by management that does little to nothing all day. I wouldnt recommend this place to a felon, let alone someone looking for an actual good job.

A typical day at work, safety meetings in the morning, then head to the hooch, get your work assignment, harness, life line, radio and extra battery.
I learned how to read a H2S monitor, sniff holes before entry
Management was fun and helpful
Workplace culture was very diverse
The hardest part of the job was climbing the towers
The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new workers in the plant

There are constant issues that do not get solved. This company doesn’t care about they’re workers and will cut hours anytime they want. The attendance policy is extremely unfair. You receive points for calling in sick even if you have pto to use. 

They will never give raises and will refuse to compensate you properly for steel toes despite the average price fo a pair that last to be $170. Even the managers I work with on the floor knows there's no talking to the big bosses 

Company has a bad industry reputation for not staying current with with paying suppliers. Employment - revolving door with respect to employees, knowing now what I know never would have wasted my time working there - would not recommend this company to anybody.
