I have been working at Trico for more than 3 years ,and I have to say they don’t care about any situation you have other than work. Of course they could say that you can go to your Drs appointment, family situation, fix car issues or anything that means you have to leave early to work, they will tell you to come back to work afterwards or the next day even tho you have a Drs excuse of not going the next day. Another thing about this company, you will always get overtime. Now don’t get me wrong overtime for some of us is great ,but when it comes to someone that is already from the company and they haven’t give your evaluation on your raise $$ especially because every 3 months you have a raise but they don’t give it to you and your still making the minimum with all this overtime instead of being paid on your top pay. This applies to everyone weather your a picker or a forklift. And last thing I have to say is the hours and the days of work. Now scheduled is Monday- Friday BUT only when the job is slow or if you and your teammates caught up on orders date, but in reality it’s Monday- Saturday sometimes also you work on Sunday all 7 days for weeks or months with 10-12 hrs every day. And some supervisors and managers will make a big deal if you miss a day. Their is soooo much BS working for this company and I’m letting you all know about this if you are considering on working for this company. Good luck to you all.

Previous owner was a private equity company, which saved our bacon and made us profitable.
The remaining workforce was a core group that knew what they were doing and got the job done. No slackers.
We were sold earlier this year and the new owners have cut
staff on the engineering side by 10%  Motivation is unknown.
 If you want to work here, know your stuff, don't expect an easy ride.
 Designers & engineers. Wiper systems are complex enough
to keep things interesting and small enough for you to handle in it's entirety.  You'll get to work on various platforms and get to see your handiwork within 2.5-3 years. 
 If you're lucky, you'll get to package the system from concept,
although many systems are carry over components, thru to 
production.

For the most part the employees there were great to work with. Except for a director and the VP of Sales (2nd in command). Guidance and direction on projects were vague at best. I asked plenty of questions, however, responses were even more vague or focus of project immediately changed. The work was very fun and interesting and certainly provided me with great career experience, but the working environment was practically abusive and hostile.

Trico has been good to my family and I. Lots of opportunities for self growth. Made lots of good friends. A typical day involves reviewing the work orders generated during the night shift and seeking solutions to any issues on the production floor with the equipment.

Commodity large enough to be interesting and small enough that you can handle a platform by yourself.  Great to see the final products in a couple of years.
They did have issues with PDM but were working on the install of TeamCenter when we were let go.

In order for this company to be good for you is get hired at a higher up position. You will learn and get to do everything other higher ups do. You will not get a raise or climb the ladder, just more workload.

Issuing Certificates of Origen to the automotive companies was always a challange.
Since I work on differnt departments I learned a lot.
The hardest time was on iventories (long process).
I enjoyed working in different depatments and meeting new cooworkers.

Wiper design is not simple.  This makes it exciting and challenging.  Engineers are responsible for the whole system and can work on a vehicle from quoting till after production.

Trico used to be a good company but after being bought by the Crowne Group it has become a nightmare to work for:

There is too much work to do and fewer employees.  They expect the job to be completed and do not care if you work Nights or Weekends.

There is very high turnover at this place
