Faurecia reviews

wafer thin margins as with most of auto tier 1/2 limited innovations not the best talent

I'm afraid that the only pro I could think of will come to an end next March when our Union contract expires. The French are not too friendly with organized labor. We are the largest plant within the Faurecia system, and also are the highest paid. I feel Management will be misleading, distrustful, conniving, and deceitful. When we were owned by Arvin, there were about 600 employees working 2 shifts. Parking was never a problem, there was a fantastic incentive program. Management was open to suggestions concerning manufacturing processes, safety, and various other concerns of employees. We had an open house every year. Arvin was VERY family oriented. Faurecia treats you with suspicion and malice. They have increased security exponentially, making everyone feeling like they are suspect of being a thief. Cameras are everywhere. Security looks in your lunch box, your purse... everything. There is no thievery. It's POOR inventory control, and we all know it. Health, Safety, and Environment makes every life in the plant miserable. Lord, I miss Arvin. .. A few years ago, we won the Shingo Prize; the Nobel prize for Manufacturing. How can we go from the top of the heap to the bottom rung of manufacturing so quickly ??
