Universal Operator/ Production Worker (Former Employee) – Lancaster, PA – February 10, 2019
Exide Technologies was a good place to work at. If you enjoy fast paced jobs this would be it. I was able to learn how to run each machine in the company and was also able to inspect the product before it was shipped. A typical day at Exide includes meeting production goals set for each day, packing and inspecting the product.
Great pay and Benefits
Supervisor (Former Employee) – Salina, KS – February 9, 2019
Great place to work if you're willing to work hard. Labor intense but benefits, pay, and company rewards (movie day, zoo day, skating party, catered holiday dinners, etc..) make it a rewarding experience.
Pros
great pay and benefits
Cons
hard work, hot in summer and cold in winter

Production Leader (Former Employee) – Forest City, MO – February 2, 2019
You show up for your 12 hour shift and change into your uniform. You go into the plant for a short meeting then take over for outgoing shift. You will be working hard from beginning to end of your shift. The temperature is well over 100 degrees inside and you spend the majority of your time standing over lead with a temperature range of 600 to 1500 degrees. You will use 40 and 90 pound jackhammers frequently. The work is very hard but you can take a break in a cool down shed whenever you feel overheated. You will work 3 days on have 3 days off one week then 4 on 4 off the next week. After 60 day probation your pay jumps to your department maximum. This is a union job so it sucks paying monthly dues but you have to pay even if you don't want to be in the union.
Pros
Good pay and good schedule
Cons
Union dues, heat, incompetent management
Fast paced

I really enjoyed working at exide, but unfortunately the company has closed, otherwise I would still be working there. i like everything about Exide. The job pay was good.
Productive and insightful
C.O.S. Operator (Former Employee) – Salina, KS – January 21, 2019
Exide was one of my favorite jobs. It paid very well and I learned a lot from my time there. If the management had been better I would have loved my job even more. Given that I would still highly recommend Exide Technologies to anyone who wants a good paying job to make a career out of.

What is the interview process like?
Excellent pay for tough job
Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Manager (Former Employee) – Kansas City, KS – January 18, 2019
I was the EHS Manager for a battery plant with about 250 employees. The work environment was tough with heavy workloads and a hot plant. Pay was very good for employees for the area.
Management above site is clueless
Supervisor (Former Employee) – West Caldwell – January 9, 2019
I was a supervisor there for a year. My direct manager was outstanding. He understood the day to day operations. Together we achieved a 95 percent on time and Inventory accuracy. We had a staff of temp employees that keep over turning based on performance. It was a very hostile place to work based on temps and some employees Above site had zero understanding of supply chain, motivation ,OE , positive reinforcement. My Manager left (they pushed him out) I walked out after talking with HR and the place went completely down hill. The people that took over all were fired. Both my reginal directors were fired in a less then a 9 month span when I was there. This was done from headquarters who as I said had know idea what they were doing I had over 24 years in the Pharma field as a Supervisor and Manager before coming here so I am not someone who has no experience This is why they have filled for Bankruptcy twice and they will eventually fold as a company
Absolutely terrible place to work

Safety, Health, Security & Environmental Manager (Former Employee) – Lampeter, PA – November 26, 2018

Process Attendant (Current Employee) – Salina, KS – October 24, 2018
More physically demanding then most if the other factory/warehouse jobs in the area but the pay is also much better to. Not a job for everyone, but enjoyable for the most part. Co workers and management for the most part are good and the benefits are great. Many days off every week with occasional mandatory OT, but Only up to 5 days a week unless you want more. 12 hour shifts with 2 23 min breaks and a 30 min lunch. I personally enjoy working here, especially with the pay.
Pros
Great pay. Great benefits. Days off
Cons
Lead consumption. Physically demanding.
