What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Leadership needs to listen to the people who work with the machinery everyday. The engineers seem to be getting faulty information. When they put "fixes" into place it usually just makes matters worse and doesn't really fix the root issues.
Review from Product Dept
value emplyees, especially long term employees
Fully listening and trying to understand. Don't take 1 person's word over 5. Before trying to fire someone, think about transferring them to another department, especially if it's for something petty. Fire the people that have actual sex assault on their record instead.
A lot. But one small thing they could do is replace our new managers with the ones they decided to fire, and prevent managers from giving TMS positions to unqualified employees who know no one or have a basic understanding of how lines operate. Also, poor judgment has kept qualified workers out.
Review from Operations Dept
They show way to much favortism.
Review from Operations Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The pay relative to the skill involved (I work on the production line). I've also never had any issues with health insurance.
Review from Product Dept
Gentex has great benefits, 401k, etc.
The rates are comparable to other companies
Review from Operations Dept
Insurance premiums are a fair price compared to other companies
Review from Operations Dept
Health care and vacation time
Review from Operations Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I think the company needs to return to incentivizing people to come to work, specifically in buildings where work has been behind for over a year and employees are expected to work no less than 6 or sometimes even 7 days a week. More vacation time would be appreciated, or pay.
Review from Operations Dept
Treating people all the same
Review from Operations Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Everyone is very involved in problem solving and we dont waste time
Pretty much everyone is a good person and nice to be around.
Review from Product Dept
They work together. As long as their not spreading rumors, apparently.
The people I work with, and I included remaining positive while we work. This includes those I work with directly on my line. We make the most of our being here, though we are all open to leaving for better opportunities.
Review from Operations Dept
Working with hard working people
Review from Operations Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Take the input from the employees seriously. We are the ones who have to implement their decisions. They need to work on the job to see what the employees are dealing with.
Review from Product Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Climate control, thats about it
Review from Operations Dept
Everyone bands together about working 6-7 days a week. No one likes it, but we get the job done.
Review from Product Dept
Paid breaks, annual picnic at an amusement park, excellent parking, free gym, 72° 50% humidity in most buildings as well! We are mostly peer-supervised, with an excellent training program
There is so much diversity and everyone is friendly
Review from Product Dept
They except everyone, no matter where they come from.. at least to your face.

What did you like most about the interview process?
I interviewed about 15 years ago, so I can't really comment about how it's like nowadays. However, they do tell people that we only work 5 days a week with occasional Saturdays, but that's not true.
Review from Product Dept
For my current position, there were three sit-down interviews. I'm comfortable speaking in meetings, so it almost felt like cheating.
That they were very nice and helped me feel welcome
Review from Product Dept
It was quick. Easy to get in... the first time... until you're blacklisted.
It was quick, and my interviewer was friendly.

Review from Operations Dept
Coworkers and accomplishment of doing a good job
Review from Operations Dept
When I use my abilities to fix a problem
Review from Operations Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Listen to the workers. Don't fire them because 1 person said something. Ask around, 5 others will tell you that 1 person may be lying. Some leadership really needs to be watched more carefully.
Pay people more money than what they are
Review from Operations Dept
The lack of empathy towards assemblers.
