Chaos

Production Worker (Current Employee) - Lewisburg, TN - December 8, 2022

Training that you’ll learn nothing from, ask two people the same questions you’ll get very different answers, management seems like they have no clue and your told to ask questions but once you do your treated as a burden. 6-7 mandatory days a week. Pay is nice and no end to overtime but zero work life balance so get used to it and do t complain about it, you’ve been warned.

Not a very good place to work

Machine Operator (Former Employee) - Lewisburg, TN - November 3, 2022

The management could care less about you. They work you non stop 6 to 7 days a week management say the weekends will stop when people stop calling out or we get more people to make production, but it’s hard not to call out when being over worked and they have no problem with firing anyone no matter how short handed or desperate we are for help. If you put your two weeks notice in I’ve been told they’ll tell you to just go ahead and leave. The management is clueless of what they’re doing and how to run the business. They have a point system in place you get 8 points and if you receive a point it takes 3 months with no absences to remove one point. Work/Life balance is nonexistent just be prepared to work every weekend while management gets to be at home with family and tell you, you’re the problem and reason for all the overtime. Also you get one 20 minute break for lunch and one 10 minute break. If you like to live at work this is the place for you

Pros

Not much

Cons

Short Breaks, Careless management, Lots of overtime

Bad company

Production Worker (Former Employee) - Lewisburg, TN - October 8, 2022

Terrible place to work at. Management picks favorites. You have no life with all the overtime. Definitely would recommend working some where else. If you like to work 24/7 then this is a job for you

Pros

None

Cons

Everything. Hardly no days off. Treated terrible. If you kiss butt that's the only way to move up

Don't do it! Unless..

Robot Automation Technician (Former Employee) - Lewisburg, TN - April 7, 2022

If you are desperate and need to keep the checks rolling in by all means walker is the place to go. If you are wanting a fulfilling career and all that goes with it look elsewhere! Favoritism runs rampant here, the people that are in the higher positions and getting the major promotions are the ones that play golf with the boss, if that tells you anything. There is room for advancement, but I often found myself having to haggle with my boss about getting fair pay for the extra responsibility. You may be expected to do several people's jobs for no extra pay.If you like day shift, you can have it after about 20 years if your lucky. In the meantime you will be on 2nd or 3rd.There is no job security here. They have engineers performing manual labor because nobody wants to work here. They have been known to change job titles and cut pay with little to no warning. People with 20 years experience that have worked their way up the ladder have been reduced to assembly line workers.Having said that, I was always paid on time. You have been warned.

I have worked at this job for about 24 years.I have learned how to over see fellow employees.How to train employees.How to use a scanner to put up stock and move it.have learned how to do paperwork.load and unloading trucks.I like meeting the truck drivers that come in.most stressful part is needing to load trucks and having to wait on the other part of the plant to get them to you in a timely manner.

Hot. Hot and smokey. Oil everywhere. There was darkness and mystery. Machine parts swinging throughout the factory. Molten metal sprayed randomly over your body.
