This company was amazing before, but now it is one of the most draining places to work at. A type of place where you seat in your car before coming in and say to yourself how much you hate this job. Working in the lines before you had a lot of skilled workers but in the past year there was high employee turnover. People were quitting left and right because of the way that supervisors would treat their employees and the lack of teamwork. Supervisors had unprofessional relationships with workers to the point of harassment. Supervisors would also look down on workers and laugh in their faces. Truly a horrible place to work at. You will work yourself to a breaking point to make the number and after 4 years there was no advancement because they would prefer to keep you on the same positions than for you to move up. So, just be ready to be there to work for 5 years and still on the same position even if you are A+ employee that works hard and keep quality as number one priority.

All upper level positions are filled to the brim so if you're okay working a basic 40 hour week without much room for advancement then this place is alright. There was a lot of talk about how when the company does well, its employees are treated well but, on the other side of that, when the company was doing poorly, employees were pruned and raises were culled. It's fine, it's part of being with any big company, it just hurt the low-level employees more than the higher-ups who still make enough to get by during hard times. Overall it was a good experience, people working there are all very nice to newcomers, giving them time to get the hang of line production, and management was fair, if a little too numbers-focused to see the underlying issues keeping us from production goals.

I've been fortunate with the many opportunities for advancement, starting with nothing more than a high school diploma.  It's a great place to develop your skills and grow within, but the management structure is more reactive than proactive, and they don't value tenure.  The overall environment is great to work in.  Fantastic people with a "family" type of feel.  Makes the stress of the job much easier to work with.  Though the job has it's challenges, especially with the global demands and restrictions brought on by working in a global system, the challenge is gratifying when you can find a way to make it work.

These are goods working at Wika: Safety and Security, cleanness, and good pay.
The safety department works hard to protect the life of all workers. Check-in and out is very professional. Bathrooms are clean all the time. Pay depends on your manager.
These are bad things working at wika: Attendance, the pressure of work, and Education consideration.
If your attendance is not good, you might lose the job within a week( 1 minute late, you get a point). The pressure of work depends on which department you are working in. some lines have less pressure than others. If you have qualifications and skills, do not work here, you will be surprised; getting the same or less rate with someone did not go to school.

Good luck!

WIKA has all the necessary parts to be the best at what they do. Globally, it can be argued they already are in many areas. In the USA, the one thing standing in their way is a clearly communicated vision with the top-down persistence (and accountability) to get there. 

It's clear that Executive Leadership wants to be the best, but the organization and willingness of upper management to lead by example, get involved, and demonstrate they expect nothing more of their employees than they're willing to do themselves is not apparent. Yet the company is filled with excellent talent waiting to get on board once they see a vision that is not only cast, but visibly and persistently applied from the top-down.

It is hard to focus, work efficiently, be yourself, be loyal to fellow employees and to the company, trust anyone. WIKA is not a work friendly place. Extremely fast paced, be very careful of every word you say to everyone (employees/Customers because it will come back to bite you in the rear. I was there15 yrs. of total devotion and loyalty. I did not take one day of sick time in 15 yrs. and with one stroke of the pen they dissolved the department and laved us off not looking to relocate us to other departments. I lost the love for this company. This company used to be an excellent place to work up to 6 yrs. Ago and then something happened to the management business plan and it was not to the benefit to the company and the employees.

Wika is a great option of a company to work for. The management is honestly really great and everyone knows their job however little to no room to grow within the company, you stay where you start. The environment is not as stressful as it could be and everyone is supportive in their departments to get work done. There is a clear divide within the company from warehouse to the office personnel which brings drama but what job doesnt have some form of drama. They are constantly as a whole company trying to improve diversity but the Chambersburg office doesn't have much of it which is sometimes odd and uncomfortable. 

Company culture is one of domination, intimidation, control and micromanagement. The pay is low, but other benefits are better than average. Many of the workers are foreign nationals, and their fear of losing their job is often exploited. Supply chain and support was good. Orientation was excellent. Training was fairly good.

you can work there if you dont mind working like a robot and risking your body parts for the work they want you to produce per min,hour and day. they treat you like your a robot not a human. always expecting more and more and never appreciative for the hard work done. racial tension and cliques. there is alot of favoritism there. getting threatened by an employee would go unnoticed. supervisors sleeping with co workers then caos once the spouses found out. they mostly hire blacks and asians. rarely would you see whites there unless they work in the office.
