Unimotor

At the start of the shift at Uni-Motor I was responsible for loading the parts washer, this very large machine was used for cleaning greese off of parts before the painting process,   I would fill out parts labels and take them to the other end of the parts washer for the person unloading the machine, I would then go back to the other end  and start the conveyor after I properly spaced the parts so they would  all get a good wash while going down the parts washer, I also helped built the small blower motors which the company manufactures, as well as helped pack and label the boxes for shipping,  I learned the importance of everyone to work hard in a group or a small line, if one person is lagging a bit it can really slow down production!  The management at Unimotor is by far the very best Excellent! I would say and by far some of the best I have ever seen in a small factory setting, and it really reflects on the employees that work there it has a real "family setting" enviroment as everyone is very nice and careing to each others needs,and very helpful! other factories could really learn a lot by following the lead of this strong productive factory!  I worked their last year as a  temp. employee and I have sent my resume to them this year in hopes of a call for  employment again.

Unimotor is a superb place to work if you enjoy being overworked and underpaid for the amount of effort you put into your job. The work load is very unbalanced and you're often struggling to keep up and more often than not having to do other people's jobs as well. The upper management is terrible and will constantly watch you like a hawk with every move you make and are usually running around like chickens with their heads cut off (not knowing where to direct workers to balance workloads). It's quite entertaining in a way to observe people that weren't meant to be leaders have their narcissistic directions crumble before their own feet. Not all workers are treated the same as there is a lot of favoritism in this place. Gossip is also very prominent in the work place and people are constantly stabbing each other in the back and then putting on a fake happy face like nothing happened. Aside from all this, you do learn how to manage your time wisely, assemble different motor components, and catch on quickly to the people that enjoy causing drama for others. I wouldn't personally recommend it.

No job/work life balance - mandatory 58 hour work weeks, if you refuse you’re fired. They have somehow found a way to go around the 48 hour cap. Full-timers even tell you to run.
Working all those hours ensures decent pay - overtime paid after 40 hours (last I was there). That’s actually the only one good thing of working there.
Job security/advancement - non-existent. It’s based on if management likes you or not. One-year contracts and can be terminated for any reason. 
Management is mixed of really bad and making up for it with doughnut Friday’s and catered holiday meals. But if you make a mistake, miss any time, not work fast enough, or get injured you are doomed. 
Job culture is the worst I’ve seen, very two-faced, spiteful behaviour prominent. No room for new ideas even if it helps improve productivity. Their motto is: “we’ve always done it this way, do it this way”. If there are too many injuries reported - employees are blamed rather than looking internally to see what can be done to stop injuries from continuing to happen.

Not people orientated and don't give new temps a chance to prove themselves. Supervisor is very petty, immature and fits in well with all the high school behavior on the production floor. They would do well finding someone with real leadership skills and someone who values all employees regardless if they are Temps or full-time. A companies biggest asset is the people and this is one place that a union is needed. Any company who cannot provide honest feedback to temps on release is simply unprofessional and adds to the growing epidemic of people not willing to work. This company has also been known to demand more info from doctors when doing physicals for new hires in order to determine whether they want to hire an individual, all a doctor is allowed to give a company is a yes or no as to whether they are fit for work. Shady practices all around. 

I was only a temp but from the day I went in they try holding sick days over your head and will pull you into the office and threaten that you wont get a full time position if you take sick days in your year temp contract.
Also everybody who works theres miserable and 2 faced and make your days drag. If your like me you will have a set up person running around like a chicken with no head who cant handle the stress of the job either that will seriously swear at everybody in their dept even when a real issue rises.
 Be careful if you arent reaching quota yet the only parts that are shipped in are nearly garbage it will still get blamed on employees. 
Find a diffrent factory 16.50 isnt worth the stress your forced threw as a temp here.
I wouldnt work here ever again or suggest anybody buying their products considerimg I experienced the horror of organisation and ways they produce.

My first day at this company the production manager was yelling at a student on the production floor. The pay and benefits were pretty good. Straight days, too much OT. Management played favourites. The back stabbing between employees was like high school and management would believe what they had to say without doing any type of investigation. Employees need a Union.

I enjoyed the people I worked with, and it was a decent environment. Good pay, great benefits. 
The thing I disliked was that they constantly move you from one department to the next, and there seemed to be no logic to a lot of what happened on the production floor. The mandatory overtime sucked as well.

Small company.Lots of back stabbing.No team work.money was okay.no organization at all! The pple were not open to newcomers.Lots of pple work there that are related to each other. Supervisors were somewhat dense.

I enjoy working at Unimotor, great people and management. The hours are 7-330 which works great, however, as we have been on mandatory overtime since Nov. It is exhausting. 7-5 daily and 7-330 on Saturday.

The job was easy and the co-workers were great , the pay is good but the supervisors or lead hands are a little tough on people who do not do anything wrong.ive seen them let go of good people to keep slow and miserable workers .
