They need to bump the pay up. They made you work twice as hard and not enough money their raises were a joke they lie about how much they will give you. Employees and myself worked our tails off and put in many hours and made difference in that company and they still paid us cheap. Ive never been in a management position and get paid so low. I had the title as a leader but got paid as a regular employee... The need to Offer more hours have better benefits get more involved with the employees. The boss did not care as much for the employees. Pretty much he seen it as dog eat dog world. Didn't personally care about the employees always making jokes instead of listening when there was a real issue. The job was easy but tiring because of how it was being ran. The employees were nice and some managers were nice as well but over the three years I was there when we got new bosses in place things got worst and employees stopped caring for the company. They fired too many people without probable cause. The plant manager was not fair to all instead of being a rolemodle to everyone under him he wanted people to fear him and played favoritism. Overall not a good solid family owned company to work for. By far the worst family owned company I've every heard of or worked for.

When you come into work your gathered in a large group where your then split off into teams for different production lines. This is a production job, numbers do matter to this company. Each line has some type of welding, bending or stamping machines set up in a circle with the welding machines first. Based on how good you are, your either placed back into the same group or sometimes like I was your moved around a lot. I was extremely versatile so I was moved around a lot. Your given timed breaks along with the rest of your shift, the 1st is almost three hours into your work day and your lunch is 2 hours after and your final break is about an hour and a half after that. This was a full time job, and over time was available (on a first come/high senority basis).

This was by far the best place I have ever worked. I can honestly say that if you were a good employee you were treated right, if anyone has a bad review of WMG than the chances are that he/she was the problem. Advancement is based on an individuals own performance, every Line Leader, Supervisor, Foreman, the Superintendent, and many other members of management have been promoted from the floor. The company does care about it's people at all levels, I know this with first hand experience. 
The owners of the company, along with the GM, are awesome to work for, you know their expectations, they are fair, and take great care of their people.  

On a typical day I get into work about 5:30 a.m., and I supervise from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on the production floor. At 7 a.m. we have a short team meeting to make sure everyone is on the same page for the day. I usually work about 60 hours per week. I spend about 7-8 hours on the floor, and only an hour on the computer to check e-mails and orders. . I rotate staff according to attendance, I have Temporary employees on a daily basis come in from different temp agency. I deal directly with the Union rep regarding disciplinary actions that have to take place with full time union employees. Train new employees, empower them to succeed. Stay on top of all production numbers and shipping for the week or month to make sure our customers get there product on a timely manner.

Where do I start... Favoritism is the only way to get promoted  the chemicals are unsafe and your completely exposed the management don't care about you and don't care what drugs your on as long as you show up I've seen guys completely methed out before they don't mention overtime until the very last minute 
They pretty much put you on a station without any training and then leave you there unsupervised 2 days later they comeback and tell you your wrong and that your doing terrible 
Management can take smoke breaks every 30 minutes for 30 minutes but only allow you to take 10 minute breaks never around when you need them 

I’ve spent a little over two years with this company and developed a family like relationship with employees.  It was pretty fast paced and kept busy and often I would find myself working a lot harder than others, And it often went and noticed.  But I kept working hard and was promoted and this made fellow employees jealous.  And they have their cliques that sabotaged new employees with potential. And dress code for women was too relaxed, and coincidentally they moved up faster. Worked there till it was no longer tolerable.

It's a warehouse job. You're going to boil in the heat, freeze in the cold, and wear your hands down doing the same task over and over again. They pay okay for a job like that, and the management is actually really great. But the training is subpar, you are expected to learn quick and learn well. Your hours are few and far between and that's only if you can muster up the will to work in a place doing the same thing over, and over, and over again. It's a job, but not a good one. But, then again, that's my opinion.

Good place to work, learn and grow. Hard work in the production area never goes unnoticed. Definitely a place to grow your career especially if your passionate about the automotive industry.
Started in production area and moved from Line Leader/QC to a Release Coordinator for the Trim Dept. Great Memories and a definite a learning curve. I have obtained a great amount of experience working here. Something I can carry with me in the future.

Everyone who's been there will try to get you fired so they can get overtime, they talk about you with the supervisor and Lil short line leader on 2nd shift will gossip about you and tell everything you tell them. It's messy everyone is sleeping together and it's ALOT of favoritism most definitely!! The work is pointless, and the machines are always breaking down. The foreman was pretty chill, and foam supervisor, maintenance team was good HR was okay, they gave you free food and drinks for.holidays.

Fast paced environment Hard working coworkers Easy to learn jobs There aren't really any hard jobs but there a few dirty jobs (oily)  The most fun part of my job is joking with the people I work with as we/re making our production
