Trojan Battery Company

A typical day consists of communication from the off coming shift,  information is vital for a company that size so I get al my information and what needs to be done in order to have a smooth day.  I learned that team work goes a long way.  Focusing on the goals an the determination of exceeding those goals on a daily basis.  The management I cant complain.  I stated communication and team work goes hand in hand followed by a good leader who can teach and also learn from their employees to be a successful group who will have each others back and not be micromanaged to a degree.  The workplace is filled with different people all of which have different back grounds.  Getting to know different people and working together helps the job run smoother also allows friendships outside of work making it the job less stressful.  Having someone to count on helps and learning from different co-workers, supervisors and managers is also a plus.  The hardest thing about my job is picking up slack from a disgruntle co-worker.  I try to encourage my co-workers is a positive way an give them advice to make the work load easier and less stressful.  ill help out anyway I can if I have the time too.  The thing I love the most about my job is the ability to voice my opinion and ideas to my supervisor or managers.  They listen and will see that their are other ways to get the job done correctly.

I would only recommend this company if you really need a job quickly. But I would recommend this job for permanent working. Poor management and leadership, lack of communication and the managers are more disruptive and liars then the employees. Lots of favoritism and racism in the company. Before they promote within the company they will hire outside and want the employees that they overlooked to train them. The entire time I worked at Trojan I was harassed by upper management and lied on. Never will I recommend anyone to work for this company. And that C& D has taken over, the people that have come to visit are unfriendly  and no one introduces themselves to anyone. I am relieved and feel sorry for the workers at the Sandersville, Ga facility, horrible site to work at.....they really need to dismantle the Sandersville Facility it makes the entire company looks bad.....

Almost everyone here is related which will make it hard for someone to move up and more likely for them to get in some kind of trouble. They will always have each other’s backs. In other words, there’s a chance you might  lose your job faster.
This company + upper management/supervisors seem to be more worried about numbers (including their paychecks, company budget), keeping OSHA standards + OSHA Personnel out of their hair then the well being of their employees.  Worst part is how they contradict their very own rules & expectations. It’s baffling. Makes absolutely NO SENSE. 
Expectations are very unrealistic. 
The urgency to fill positions should say a lot other than how fast people are to quit. 
I learned more about the picture underneath the paint. How some employees play victim and how this place is  really not what it seems. Things sound good but that’s about it. They would much rather lose hardworking people who can add some good to the company then to do what’s right (it seems)

This place is what work dreams are made of, hands down! Trojan Battery is truly a great place to work at. Not only is the company culture terrific but their management really cares about employee safety and overall wellbeing. Teamwork actually happens here. It's so refreshing to see that after not seeing it at other companies for so many years. Trojan also offers a career path, opportunities for employees to advance in their careers and job growth within the company. The pay is good and benefits are nice, too! I'm only here on a contract assignment but after seeing all I've seen in the last couple of months, if given the opportunity, I would stay here in a heartbeat. I will miss this caring environment when I leave but I wish everyone at Trojan Battery all the best!

We should all be so fortunate to find a place like this. Trojan Battery Company is the place to be!

I enjoy this job, because you stay really busy most of the day and the time goes fast. I have learned how to work with so many office products and became very comfortable with the experience and enjoy working in that environment. Management needs improvement. Working with my co-workers is not a problem at all I work with some really nice people. I have a desk job, and also there are times when I go into the factory to deliver paperwork to the employees on the floor, sometimes I am asked to fill in and help in factory, sometimes without training but it's really nice to help when I am needed. When I see the products that are completed and sent to customers I feel proud that I had a part in that success.

If you are looking for some good money this is a good job to take a look at. But making good money comes with a headache . The Sandersville plant, you got management that knows nothing about the process of making a battery. Majority of  employees has no knowledge about the process either and aren't trying to learn because they have no leadership that drives them,because like the saying goes the blind is trying to lead the blind. I would be surprise this place last another 3 to 5 years, Employees lay out of work like everyday, can't never have a full crew because someone is out. that makes the next person have to work even harder. MANAGEMENT SUCKS  from the plant manger on down to some supervisors. In all if you want to make good money and not care about you job then this is a great place to work. I am so glad I left this place and all the headaches that was connected to that place OMG

This company is very uncertain as to what they want, from my experience there they only care about the money and can care less about their employees even after they continuously continue to lie to you in your face about how they supposedly do. The only way for you to move up here is for you to either KISS ALOT OF REAR ENDS or YOU NEED TO PERSONALLY KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS IN A HIGH POSITION ALREADY SO THEY CAN BRING YOU UP. Also the restrooms and washrooms are dirty at least 90 percent of the time. It gets very hot in the summer and the only way they let you rest is until you literally pass out from the heat. I saw alot of things in my short time there and will never go back there again.

Overall, this company offers an okay work environment, especially for those who can adapt quickly and work independently. The workplace itself is manageable, and the fast-paced nature of the job can be a good fit for people who enjoy staying busy and handling multiple tasks.

However, communication is a major area that needs improvement. Expectations, updates, and changes are not always clearly communicated, which can make the job more stressful than necessary. Better organization and clearer communication from management would greatly improve the overall experience.

In summary, it’s an acceptable place to work if you’re comfortable in a fast-paced setting and don’t rely heavily on guidance, but stronger communication would make a big difference.

pay, benefits were very good. and were flexible with working from home for kids.

Despite they're emphasis on doing the right thing they clearly dont. they will give you extra work outside of your job description (that of a higher position) without due compensation/promotion. They also let go many employees with no warning with lower management not even being notified...which hit extra hard  when you find out 2 days prior that your wife needs chemo treatment. 
They also will not give out raises and yet still hand out promotions and extra benefits to the executives; as well as spending money on stuff for their "work culture"

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people I worked with they really showed me everything.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I don’t have one. They showed me everything and if I had a problem I can go ask them anything.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great! They really treat there works like family. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Breaking down the old batteries separating auto from deep cycle. Load the paperwork on a company then pull orders off the computer pulling orders to load onto trucks for shipping and unload trucks to get more supplies of batteries to distribute around the other company’s.
