Bad place to work - Machine Operator FIC America Employee Review

Good Pay, Lots of growth Opportunities Diversity

Work environmental needs better lighting.

Was hopeful when I started, but now, There is absolutely nothing positive to say about this place.

Place is filthy with carbon dust and weld spatter from the canisters they make, and everyone has to breathe it. They say it is safe but I wonder. It is noisy as hell and hot as hell in the summer (no a/c) and freezing in winter. Ok it is manufacturing but still. The bathrooms are disgusting, the kitchenettes is also disgusting. Thankfully my desk was not on the shop floor. Leadership is non-existent: the GM got fired abruptly about 3 months ago. Planners either got fired or quit. I left as did a senior engineer, and the production manager all left about a week ago. Getting replacements is near impossible. Turnover at the line level is also a serious dilemma. We cannot keep employees for any length of time as they usually have a shelf life of about 2 weeks to 2 months and they abruptly quit. 99% speak Spanish so communication is difficult as is developing them and most dont care about that anyway. There is no interviewing them and they are just handed to the supervisors sight unseen on day 1 and they have struggle to make their production quotas.
