GKN Reviews

Cons

Not alway acting as one Company
Could Position itself better be communicating all the good things

Cons

autocratic and idiotic senior executives, trying to run everything themselves from overseas. slow decision making

Cons

Lots of restructuring and this company doesn't seem to care about important things like the AS9100. They only care about the numbers and profit. Lots of things you have to figure out on your own and you must ask lots of questions. There is no training.

Cons

Negative work environment and future outlook.

Cons

Employee benefits to be shared.

Cons

Good ole boy system well and alive at the Alamance facility. Education is not valued. No diversity in upper management. They give people jobs that dont deserve the job but because they have been knowing each other for 20yrs and are probably related. This is not a place to grow. No discipline on the shop floor reason for bad product.

Cons

Some of the lines get holidays off and some lines don't. I am working on a line and we had to come in on good Friday and Easter Sunday tomorrow while 85% of the rest of the plant is off. And I don't holiday pay since I am a temp. Plus you have to work at least 6 days a week, some lines don't have a day off at all

Cons

A lot of wrong , Manegment is incompetent

Cons

What sad state of affairs. In all my years I have never encountered such a quagmire.

MRP is not used effectively, Operations builds what will help them meet revenue, not what's due to customers.

MRB backlog is not to be believed, parts are not scrapped so they don't have to be written off.

Other turn over comments are true only because anyone being held responsible can only take beatings for so long before there are fed up and give up.

Benefits are mediocre at best. Employee recognition primarily consists of meager give cards to a gas station convenience store.

Cons

This company grossly under pays its employees. Management only seems to be concerned with there next bonus or next higher position. Company takes advantage of small towns has a great deal of scrap and is very disorganized. Management works on the good old boy system and is very incompetent.
