I was asked to come in for an interview earlier today and it was an interesting experience. Firstly, I was greeted at the entrance by Tatum in Human Resources. She had me answer some COVID-19 related questions and took my temperature before unlocking the door into their reception area. Next, she asked me to use hand sanitizer upon entering. I appreciated their precautions and commitment to visitor safety. However, after that, the interview went down hill quick. I was greeted by Chris (heat treat supervisor) and he gave me safety glasses right away so we could start with a tour of the production area. He took me all around the facility and showed me a bunch of different departments. He was very detailed with his explanations and when showing me various products / machines. Unfortunately, it was so detailed that I had no idea what he was talking about. This was suppose to be an entry level position and he was talking to me about it as if I had years of experience. I didn't understand must of the terminology or acronyms he used. Overall, I was overwhelmed and confused. I politely nodded and tried my hardest to keep up, but after 15 minutes of this, I pretty much gave up. On top of that, it is insanely loud on the factory floor and I have partial hearing loss; so, I heard maybe 50% of what he said. Trying to learn in that environment would be brutal. Also, the floors were very slippery; I wish they had warned me so I could have worn more appropriate shoes. Then, they have shared forklift and pedestrian walk ways. I saw one circle mirror to help drivers spot obstacles, but other than that, it was very unsafe. I didn't see any stop signs at intersections and it was so loud that it was hard to hear them honking in areas. Lastly, some employees were wearing masks but just as many weren't (or just had them hanging around their necks). They weren't even trying to hid it. I was so surprised, because I know factories that have been fined after unexpected auditors show up on site to enforce mask mandates. So, after the 30 minute tour of the facility, Chris said we were done and to connect with Human Resources tomorrow if I wanted to pursue the position. He informed me that he had another interview at 2:30 pm. I was so surprised, because he hadn't asked me one question about myself. So, I told him that I had prepared some questions and had difficulty hearing him on the production floor, and would like to go to a quieter room to go over them quick. On our way back up to the front office reception area, he told me that they had to let go of 30 people because of COVID-19 and were only trying to hire a few people because most of their product comes from India and they are getting hit hard by COVID-19 again (and they may eventually have to do another lay off in the future due to this). It was not a good feeling knowing that the position wasn't very secure. Once back up front, we actually ran into his next interview person that had been waiting for him. It was very awkward. At this point, I finally got a chance to ask my questions. I learned that they work every other week (Saturday and Sunday both), meaning that I would have to work 12 days straight before getting a day off. Then, they don't have a PTO program at all. So, if they allow you to take a day off, then it is unpaid and based on a point system leading to termination. Lastly, they don't have a training program and just do OJT (on the job training). It is literally a sink or swim environment, and the supervisor knew that. He said by day 30 they would know whether a new employee would make it or not. Overall, it was super chaotic and loud on the production floor. The interview wasn't even an interview; it was an unproductive tour. It made me feel like they would literally hire anyone off the streets, just a body to fill a spot, because they don't properly screen their candidates. So, I can only imagine the protentional problems and conflicts trying to work with their workforce. I feel bad giving them such a bad review for their interview process, because Chris was actually a sweetheart. He gives off a teddy bear vibe and was very easy to be around. If I would have pursued the position, then I feel like Chris would have been a great supervisor to work under, but unfortunately, their interview process was a big miss and turned me off completely. Oh, and they don't have A/C, which is pretty normal for production environments. But, the heat treat department does work around big flames and can reach pretty high temperatures in the summer. So, be warned if that is something that may bother you.
