Vuteq

Work-life balance
For the moment they are getting weekends off but when production starts they are going to be time based instead of production based. That means weekend work to make up the time.

Pay & benefits
You do earn PTO but they will deny you from ever using it.

Job security and advancement
Although if you just show up you will pretty much have a job, there is no advancement. They would rather bring in a Japanese counterpart than promote from within.

Management
Management although I'm sure they mean well has no clue what they are doing. Everything is last minute and i do mean at the last possible second. They never follow up with tasks for employees, the employees have to follow up with Management. The worst part is they will stright lie to your face about things.

Culture
Yes you can work alone but that is only if the Japanese allow it. Most of the time your counterpart is watching you like a hawk and will question your every move. And if you make something good, they will go behing you and change it because they didnt do it.

Overall
Vuteq has the potential to be a great molding facility but the dishonesty, treatment, and favoritism makes this place a burden to carry daily. Very few places have I worked where I hated even pulling up into the parking lot. Unless you are Japanese nothing you say will be listened to at all. Even when you physically proove it, they will still take hours out of your day to try and prove you wrong or will stright lie to you. The only shinning part to this facility is there current maintenance manager and production manager as they will try and fight for you, if they are still there.

Even though I requested to learn different jobs, I went to work every day doing the same repetitive thing. The supervisors would say they will get me onto something different, but it never happened. As long as I was a temp, they wouldn't fulfill my request, but I did notice that if you were a contract worker or a full Vuteq employee, they would get their way in a hurry. While I was there, a contract employee would constantly complain that her hands were swollen and hurt, so they would put her onto something lighter and easier to do. She also missed quite a few days of work while I was there. I saw an employee get seriously hurt because this person had to literally run from one machine to another in order to do the work of two employees. When this person came back to work, they purposely had this employee back doing the same thing! That was so cruel of them to do that. I could see that this person was in a lot of pain still, but they didn't care. It was like do the job or there's the door kind of attitude. The hours were long, and if you wanted a Saturday off, you had to fill out an "Overtime Refusal" form whether there was any overtime that Saturday or not! They did give out bonuses, but it was a three tier payout. Temps would get a smaller bonus for doing the same work. Then the contract workers would get more than the temps. And the full Vuteq employees get the most. Hardly fair.

No matter what the problem is on any production line, all senior leaders, team leaders, and their loyal childish tattletales clan together. 
No treatment the same with their OWN rules, therefore that is equivalent to bullying and harassment.
Employees are terminated for diverse reasons and other's stay for the equivalent diverse reasons.
Senior and team leaders harass team members by verbally reprimanding them for trying to get the job done by cutting a corner. Maybe you should not, but your counterparts do, and NOTHING is ever said to them. That's favoritism and bullying.
I could go and on.
I think I've made my point.
Bullying, Favoritism,Harrassment. Adults who are still looking for that payback in life.
Grow up.

This place is horrible! They will flat out lie to you and promise things they have no intention of fulfilling. They LOVE to keep a definite line of "US" vs "Them" - as it comes to the Japanese Advisors and American employees. If you are Japanese - you can do whatever - If you're American, you better outwork everyone else and NEVER make a mistake!!! Information will be purposely withheld so they can blame you at another date. They guy they hired as "Senior Engineer" is an absolute. Talk about someone with a little man complex...He's in WAY over his head, but his pride keeps him from asking for help. But for some ungodly reason, they are putting all their faith in him... CRA CRA... Well - they are just in beginning stages of hiring people (management) and have already lost 3 key people due to the way they act...The only entity of Vuteq I would ever consider working is Canada - at least they know what they are doing.

they do not care about employees. after starting there is NO training other than call us if you need help...it's like they set the employees up to fail rather than to succeed..in my 7 months being there i was Never shown one Work instruction sheet... and never had the attendance policy explained to me... i have spoke with other employees  and they told me same with them...and the hire in bonus they say they give to you,,i had been there  6 months and 2 weeks.......and they informed me i would Not get the sign on bonus,,,beacuse i wasnt there long enough...so beware of what your situation may be if you go to work there... be prepared for anything... except anything good


before I start , I was never fired . I gave several yrs to this company .  If you need a job Vuteq is always hiring , with that said  . Vuteq treats you like a number  Iv seen great people especially single parents lose their jobs over to strict of rules .  They preach family friendly , Not even close.  The company at least in Princeton lie to new hires all the time . Bottom line ,   You are a number if you’ve been there 1 day or 18 yrs .   The plus side is benefits are extremely cheap and they give any gifts consistently.  That’s how they keep core people but those people have some if not several medical issues. (Example) As a veteran it’s not easy coming from a world of respect to a 19 yr old Team Lead who’s never left the area try to  de humanize you. 

It was a good place to work but once you top out in pay working overtime on average of 1.5-2 hrs every shift gets old. I left to go to Aerotek and started out more than I made once topping out at Vuteq. So pay was really the only reason I left since Aerotek works the same hours and mandatory overtime everynight since they are both on Toyota schedule.

Place is full of people who don't speak English. The pay is pitiful, they think they can buy your soul for a pizza once a month. The hours are terrible, usually ten to twelve, usually six days a week. The will let you off at normal time on Friday night, so you can come in early on Saturday. If you have to leave early, expect a final written warning after the second occurrence. Breaks are ten minutes, the minimum required by law, but they will try to steal four of those. Mostly Mexicans, drug users, ex cons, and other trouble making trash. Horrible. Turn over is outrageous. One whole department left one night. Of three new hires one night, the last one made it till dinner.

The jobs required are indeed physical. This job has great pay and benefits, however, is not very family oriented. The work schedule leaves you with very little time to spend with family. The management has changed so much within the 10 years I worked there. At times, it is downright ridiculous and useless to go to management with any type of issue cause most times it gets swept under the rug or there is a conflict of interests. The most enjoyable part of the job is all the new people you meet and work with and also the pay and benefits.

Terrible, never wanted to come in to work, insurance was pretty good and they had a once a month shift lunch that usually wasn't good. Management treats you like your replaceable. And they don't do anything to keep you even if you are an amazing worker. Most of the employees that are in the same level as you are friendly so they help make the place bearable. They're so low on workers that they had to increase the sign on bonus to get people and still fire people when there clearly in need of help having your leads on the line causing you to not be able to go to the restroom when you need too.
