environmental health and safety manager

Woodbridge

What is the best part of working at the company?
They paid pretty decent. But not much else going for them

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything was stressful about that company being in tool setup I would come in early by 2 hours and end up staying late up to 2 hours as well and this wasn't just one day a week or two days a week it was every day of the week and it got old

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was good everybody treated everyone with respect it was a mixed diverse company and everyone respected everyone and the cultures and beliefs as far as I seen everyone treated me good and respectful

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Well I'd come in 2 hours early to build our tools and set up it is a Non-Stop working job after a couple tools built it was time to install them in the press and it always took longer than it should because we would come in with no tools built which the shift before I should have at least one or two so we can come in and start installing when we get there but we have to build our own tools and then install them but most of the time we would have at least one or two tools built for the shift that came in behind us but we never had them built for us when we came in

I worked here for about three weeks. One day I had to go home because air was sick, so I let HR know because the supervisor was nowhere to be found. The girl I spoke to specifically told me yes & that she’ll let my old supervisor know. About 1hr 1/2 later I got a call from my temp agency through them to end my assignment. They didn’t want to give a reason to the agency or me, only communication was “It wasn’t the girl you spoke to that decided to & it’s not because you don’t feel well.” Their machines are always going down, I remember one day it was not until after twelve I started working; mind you you clock in at 6:45 & get off at 3:15. The people their act a certain way with you, you know as grown miserable know it all. it’s a climate controlled wearhouse & you deal with wet parts to pack. Fair breaks, really low pay about $15.50. Random shutdowns which equals no pay once again expect to run two machines throughout your shift same pay because they’re low of people probably because they keep firing people. 

I liked the manual labor and fast paced work. If it were a job that gave me 40 hours a week and didn’t lay workers off so much I would be happy to stay here. 

Management is incredibly deceptive - the team leads are better, but anyone in the front office can’t be trusted. Every single person I work with hates it here and is either working a second job or applying to jobs during their lunch breaks. 

People on the line are mean and disrespectful to each other, they will yell at you if you’re too slow, they won’t rotate you out at stations and a lot of people here have back issues. They are chronically short staffed and run good workers into the ground. Management took away our Christmas bonuses this year and kept their own. I really wanted to like this job but it is miserable here. 

Don’t work for this company, even if you’re desperate for money. You won’t make it

I would have to say working for this company was one of the most positive environments that I've worked in it just so happened that some of the individuals that I were working with decided that they wanted to work and manipulate the unemployment benefits I had had a surgery at the time and somebody said that I can collect and collect my salary at the same time I did not read the bottom line which until I had got caught up into a Statewide investigation I would like to say that they did everything that they could to help me but the thing that I had done at the time kind of took the legs out from under me until I was at fault I should have read the bottom line I thank them for the opportunity for working for them I learned a lot while I was there

It seems to me that some parts of Woodbridge are favored over others. It seems our division is left to wonder in the woods while other locations get the training, support , and personal they need. While we have been asking for support for years . Now they bring in experts and tell us we need to be doing things a certain way . The exact same problems we have been asking for help and training and or personal on but were denied in the past.  Parts of Woodbridge are great. Our division may be one day. They need to have an honest rapport with the boots on the ground. it could save they lots of money in the end

I worked here for many many years and it helped me raise a family. Great benefits and comparable pay keep you around. Great union UAW job with steady work that isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Not a lot of weekends but it is the auto industry which can be feast or famine. OT is in 4 hour stints so it makes an 8 hr shift into a 12. That gets better with more seniority though, easier to avoid. Online classifications works a little harder but gets paid more than the offline classification. Building isn't air conditioned but they have some airflow and a ton of industrial strength fans which help. Still super hot in the dead of summer.

When I worked for woodbridge I was a temp the 1st time. I did alot of overtime due to their seniority policy and mandatory overtime rule. I usually worked about 72-84 hours a week. I was making around $800/week tax exempt. I was hired on permanently and worked the same amount of hours with taxes coming out so that 8 became a 4 very quickly. I was a very good worker but had to go because of escalating tension and harassment from co-workers. You can make good money here but you have no time really for a personal life because of overtime and then you have to deal with poor management, culture barriers, workplace drama/gossip, uncaring HR department,etc.

Never know what time you are getting out and recently you don’t know what time you are going in.   I have worked days as long as 15hrs.  Unable to plan anything outside of work.   Management is brainless.  You can’t ask a simple question without getting a smart  aleck response or a stupid joke.   HR sides with the company and acts as your enemy.  The union is inept, also can’t get an answer out of them without a joke or stupid comment.  Seniority is meaningless.  The 401k is a slap in the face.  The company barely matches anything.  Multiple violent felons working in the facility.   

The Woodbridge Corporation in Riverside Missouri is a failing company, and going down the drain.
Losing their Ford F-150 contract in 2019 which accounts for 64% of their proceeds is causing them to cut back on personnel and increase work load per employee. Along with their poor management it's causing employees of 30 plus years to cut and run!
I know i work for them, and I'm leaving them.

The management in the Riverside Woodbridge is corrupt and underhanded...

Woodbridge is a good place to work with great people working around you we take the job seriously and doing the job right while having fun.The hardest part of the job was standing on feet sometimes 12 hrs but I appreciate the overtime, the most enjoyable part was s the nicest people I ever worked with cutting up and having fun to pass the day while delivering a great job and product.
