Pros

The pay is very good. You can be 18, straight out of high school and walk in making $22 an hour with no experience.

Cons

Night shift is great but some of the dayshift supervisors don't take their job seriously.

Decent pay, bad work environment

Pros

Pretty much no experience required for $20/hr starting. They do four 10 hour work days a week, so you have a three day weekend.

Cons

Extremely hot inside building (no AC), some areas with lots of machinery or ovens to dry painted parts reach well over 100 degrees on hot days. Can't say for entire building, but my coworkers, with the exception of maybe three, did not pull their fair share of the workload. Often I was forced to do the most labor/unpleasant tasks because no one else wanted to do them. Management didn't seem to mind though, unless I made a mistake in which case they were quick to scold me. Overall, environment is unpleasant physically and promotes a 'just-enough-to-get-by' work style. Also, most positions are pretty physically demanding and require you to be on your feet for the near the entirety of an 11 hour workday, but we were given less than one hour total in breaks.

True Manufacturing Response

Thank you for the review. True cares very much for their employees and provides many outlets for team members to share concerns. Although the factories are not temperature controlled in the summertime, we do allow team members to bring in personal coolers to store their water bottles, there are many water fountains throughout the facility, fans are available to team members, and we also provide electrolyte drinks. On days that there is a heat advisory we provide an extra afternoon break to give our team members relief from the heat.
