Toyotetsu

Fantastic place to work if you are willing to. Very physical, especially in stamping. Guaranteed work and pay. There is always something to do if you're willing to look for it. Rotating shifts are hard but plan accordingly and it works out pretty well. Can get hard at times missing out on family time from all the overtime, but the pay is worth it. Realistically, it is a very physical job with very little praise.

Frustrations stem mostly from dealing with upper management and their lack of planning, support, miscommunication, and indecisiveness. Upper management is very quick to mandate overtime, considering the majority of them work from 8 to 4, Monday to Friday. They are rarely seen on weekends and sometimes after 5. Safety first is preached but only when it could show or draw attention to the company in a bad light. Most standardized work instructions are outdated with upper management simply not understanding what exactly is needed to run at the current targets/rates that they/the clients have set. Most workers feel alienated and frustrated with upper management as they criticize (as they should), without providing solutions or alternatives or support to ongoing issues (which they don't).

Factory is clean but a lot of the equipment is outdated. Maintenance is required on a lot of machines to keep them going. PPE is provided.

They are finally starting to realize that they need to improve training for new hires which is good. They are always hiring due to the high and constant turnover rate. Some workers are simply passing the time until something better comes along, so expect to see new faces regularly.

Many workers are hard working but some do the bare minimum to get through the shift. Avoid the negative team members, as they spend more time complaining than working. Most Group and Team Leaders are wonderful and are always doing/trying their best with the limited resources available/given to them. 

HR is very accommodating and understanding and will go above and beyond to help.

Overall, do as you are told, don't expect too much praise, don't question too many of the decisions, work hard and get through the shift as best and safely as you can and you will do fine.

Employees constantly listen to management say "Step it up". Twenty five cents per minute does little to encourage faster production.
Company should be open to creating incentives and year end bonuses, etc.  Make your employees proud to work for Toyoetsu, instead of just saying "It's a job".

What is the best part of working at the company?
Horrible management with little regards to professional conduct.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Forced overtime. And working in confined spaces. Don't get me started on lack of training, especially in with programming the robots.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible. Management are all 2 faced.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Painful. When i got injured they blamed me. And wrote up for working to hard.

In the PC dept depending on the shift you get you can be lazy so the other shifts will pick up the slack. Your GLs are never seen the team leaders tell you that if you’re a hard worker you’ll eventually quit because you are tired of picking up the slack of the terrible employees in 5 years this company has hired and fired half the building! if you’re a lazy a$ this place is for you if you’re a hard worker AVOID!

If your a hard worker and show up everyday you wont have any issues and will have the opportunity to move up as positions come available. If you treat them with respect they will treat you the same way. TTCA has gone above and beyond for me during some hard times I had in my life outside of work. Been there 5+ years.

Stamping group leader was very manipulative and shady. Always using his position of power to move women up the ladder ahead of deserving hard workers. Any saftey requests made took a year to even be looked at if constantly bothered about if not forgotten about. Lunch and breaks were short because the 10 mins it took to walk from and to your assigned position counted as break

it was a good job for myself as i was trying to earn money for school. however, factory was really hot and very physically demanding. the company was very good at treating there employees well. they paid for our lunches and provided us with cool events for there Christmas party or golf tournaments.

These people couldn't care less about you, your life, or your well being. I have never met anyone who said they're happy to work there. And furthermore every person I know who has left is now happier in their lives, even though they make less money.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people you work with and the management staff are great

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Finding a parking  spot closer to the entrance 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Diverse and clean environment

Good company to work for. Respectable management team. Very very well done and organized company. Happy to work there.
