Walterscheid Powertrain Group

I was a cnc operator. Very short-handed on staff. A lot of orders are 5- 6 months behind and they over work their employees for it. I worked here about a year and 1/4. On average its 10 hrs for 6 days a week but they will push for 12s (The company omitted the amount of mandatory overtime even when interviewing). There was constant pressure from supervisors who havent run the machines. Previous shift (2nd) would always leave incorrect and even broken tools needing to be changed so down time was inevitable, but landing at the falt of new shift operater regardless of informing management. Every operator working here has been kind, but they feel overworked and poorly understood / trained. Attempts to speak up on productivity, fairness and maintenance will be pushed aside for way of a new, hardly used popcorn machine instead. 

Worst place to work for the company hires you to try and fire you. They do nothing to help there employees out. The pay is poor for as much work as you have to do. They can never give you a answer for anything you ask for. They never want to fix equipment the right way until something happens to someone and it’s always that person fault. They have no maternity leave they write you up and point you even if you have doctors notes. They take your vacation from you for being off and since you didn’t work a full year they expect you to pay the money back to them. And they don’t teach you anything and they don’t promote inside there company to try and train you on new things in other words there is not growth. Also you can never find management even if you page them because you find them taking a nap in the office.

Management struggled to understand even the most basic concepts

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic and overworked. Very rarely did they understand process Improvement much less how to increase throughput


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in around 6:00 a.m. find out what all was broken by people who didn't care about the job temps from other countries. Literally people who were flown in just to work for them not immigrants who would he be here for a few months and then go home.

The company started off to good to be true. The pay, the hours, and tbe overtime were fantastic for CNC. Yet, as time went on they promised to cross train, but that did not happen. I trained 2 people on my machines, but did not learn any new skills myself. They push you hard on getting orders ojt and you get nothing in return.

There are cliques in the company that include the supervisors, so watch what you say and who you say it to. Don't trust anyone because they may seem friendly, but they have other intentions in mind.

I was let go after three months due to "budget cuts". Used and tossed out after all the hard work I put forth and the compliments that I was given by my supervisor.

 So if you take a position here, always have a back up plan and trust noone. (Two-faced people)



The company moved to Loves Park last year. Even the most basic of shop supplies, such as calipers and high stands, appear to have been lost in the move, and management refuses to replace them. Then they complain that it took you too long to start running your machine because you had to stand in line for 20 minutes to use the one high stand before you could even start your first piece inspection. They are for concerned with the floor being perfectly spotless than providing you with the basic tools you need to do your job. On the plus side, they had good pay and benefits with 13 paid holidays, but the company culture leaves much to be desired.

Very poor management/leadership. Do not respect their employees inside or outside of the shop. Want to control their employees at work and their personal life. Do not care for their employees opinions or personal lives/matters. Do everything they can to be a burden on their employees. Human Resources try their hardest to get the employees in trouble or fired instead of being an aid to them. Supervisors are not knowledgeable in their fields, and are poor leaders as well. Very toxic work environment all around.
