A fortune 500 company
Materials/Production Supervisor - St. Thomas (Former Employee), St. Thomas, ON – September 6, 2012
For the better part of eighteen years I managed and directed 16 to 32 people within a JIT environment, in both production and material handling. I learned the values of respect, both giving and receiving, and the importance of keeping and maintaining a clean, safe work environment. Managers did not micro manage, but allowed you to make decisions regarding – more... your job. It is important to establish a working relationship with co-workers and to give assistance if needed. Like most jobs, motivating workers requires constant need, and the most enjoyable part was to have workers dedicated to their job and duties. – less

People are not all bad
Production Associate (Former Employee), St. Thomas, ON – August 10, 2012
Pros: benifits
Cons: dirty
Having to watch what you say to whom you say it too is bad. If someone didn't like you or felt threatened by you, they would try to make your life misserable.

Great place to work!
Laborer (Former Employee), Carlisle, PA – April 30, 2013
Pros: good pay and benefits
Cons: unstable job security
This was a production plant that has since closed as a result of outsourcing to other countries. I was a laborer and forklift driver. There was little opportunity for advancement. The position paid well for the times and they had great benefits. I enjoyed the challenges of physical labor as I was hired shortly after high school. Management changed hands – more... a few times and that created and atmosphere of uncertainty. Overall I enjoyed working there. – less

Productive but ruff
Production/ line worker (Current Employee), Hammond,Indiana – April 24, 2013
Pros: the dress code
Cons: short breaks
Well a typical day at work is ruff, we never have the supplies we need and we can't always get it when we need it. Management is ok depending on who you are working with. Good professional co-workers that work hard. The hardest part of my job is when we need supplies it takes them forever to get it back to us. The most enjoyable part of my day at work – more... is when we run smooth. – less

Cons: always worked mandatory overtime
I worked on an assembly line as a relief operator building truck seats for General Motors. I worked in a team atmosphere using various power tools, stocking supplies, repairing parts, inventory, quality control, and filling in on jobs when needed. The physical aspect and long hours was the most challenging, but I loved my job and everyone I worked with.

Grateful to be employed but compensation and work load do not match.
Material (Current Employee), Hamm, NW – March 27, 2013
Pros: discounts through ford motor financing and other companies.
Cons: pay and benifits
A typical day at work can be hectic due to the pace of job. Unneccessary pressures by management make job more stressful than it should be. Mangement could use some communication training but co- workers are easy to get along with. Job isn't difficult at all which is honestly the most enjoyable part of the job.
