It is what it is - Production Technician Yates Services Employee Review

Far more pros now than five years ago. Pathways conversion is on average much faster. Where it used to be a good 3 - 5 years to transfer to Nissan, I've seen people get converted after just the advertised 18 months. 2 years seems typical now. The workload is as light or as heavy as current auto market trends dictate. The overtime- whenever there actually is any available -is never mandatory. When the line stops, you are often given the option to stay and push a broom for the remainder of your shift time, if you need the hours. Job rotation means less repetitive motion pain and fewer injuries. On-site health coaches are available and will come to your area on-line to help and assess your needs. Plenty of opportunity exists to move up if you have leadership skills and are actually a likeable person. There have been complaints about "good ol' boy" culture at Nissan and Yates Services, but I really have seen little evidence of this. Leads, supervisors, and managers are of all races, shapes, sizes, and walks of life. Be personable, be a leader, and look for ways to benefit the company and save time, and you will move up.
