Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are awesome and they rock
at this moment not much
Review from Operations Dept
I have never ever seen so excellent team again.
Nothing honestly, i cant trust them to tell me the truth on virtually anything
The transparancy, communication and the actual personal presence with the team.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Working with experienced operators when setting up new operations to ensure more efficient operations. Also better training of compaction setup and operations. Internal communications between shifts seem to be sketchy.
Everything people less bullying and
Flowing down clear direction and delegation of tasks
seeing what's really happening on the site instead of looking out of the window
Engaging with & listening to Employees that know their job
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The money and the paid time off
What compensation package? I was never told of this
The healthcare-benefits are wide ranged and easy accessible.
Something is better than nothing
Match pension contribution by 150% so 8% sacrifice becomes 20% added.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Females within the company are severely underpaid. There seems to be no direct connection between work performance & pay increases.
dead end job no instruction
Total restructuring , top to bottom.
My pay is not equal to the amount of work I do

Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Just overall being better people, they use and abuse anyone they can
They need to work on their foul language. They also need to do their jobs without expecting others to do it for them and stop expecting others to help them out so much.
Some could work a lot harder/put in the same effort ads the rest of the team.
Way too much back stabbing goes on.
Better financial accountability and communication
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
fair, expectation, patience, diversity and inclusive
The implementation of soft-skills and related activities for the team balanced with effective work and strategy-project groups
Clear communication & dedication towards target
They encourage autonomy, provide support and trust.
This is a hard one to answer. The working level teams show up & work hard everyday, even given the staffing & management shortages we constantly face. The management team on the other hand seem only to care about numbers & manipulating metrics.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Stick to their principles instead of doing the opposite.
Employee favortism is often seen and credit needs to be given to the employee for a successful accomplishment. Not to the supervisor.
GKN has a very bad system called the good ole boys. Care about the employees they give the company a lot of effort and we wait till the last of the week to tell them we are letting them go. GKN has and continues to be very profit and delivery driven, the company will overlook quality and safety
Review from Engineering Dept
Fair wages and better training
Review from Operations Dept
Fairness pay benefits hourly bonus
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was thourough without beeing strechted in time irrational or being repetitive
Job offer within a day of interview
I thought that it felt like there was no pressure. The boss was pretty laid back and made you feel comfortable.
Review from Operations Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Good great, very exciting. Wonderful easily get along with
Interview process is no different than any other company.
My manager forgot about me during my interview and left me waiting at the front waiting area for 2 hours.
Review from Engineering Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
GKN value, culture, the feeling when work with other people, everyone is so nice, and open, and happy, and cooperative.
To know I do valuable and important work that I enjoy and get the chance for personal development. I learn something new every day
When my hard work and care for quality is appreciated
Doing good at my job and bettering the production of the company
Review from Operations Dept
know what to do and get the job done
Review from Operations Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
They need to make more effort in keeping employees.
The company is talking the talk with key culture principles but simply not following through on any of them. Follow through!
There is no discussion with customers regarding dissatisfaction of work inviorment
It s too overwhelming to mention
listen to the employees, stop cutting the workforce, and hiring upper management. We have cut our workforce some much but continued filling/hiring regional spots
