Hoshizaki America GFN Fabrication Department Employee Reviews

Been here a while. so I'm ok

Started out fine, got better when we're working over 40 hours a week, and then all of a sudden they decided to send jobs over the border

The past six years have been a very positive and rewarding experience for me. I am grateful for the opportunity to be in the position I am in today and appreciate the trust and support that has allowed me to continue developing my skills. I look forward growing in my career.

Good place to work!! Just think this survey is more for the office personell than manufactoring.

This company has given me the opportunity to work on programming. I check parts on all the machines. I have been trained on all the machines.

Currently I'm concerned. We have little to no work.

Managers seem to care about the employees

The professionalism , and environment they create.

I don't know enough about the executive team to comment about. My immidiate leadership I think is doing a good job with the current situation

Their commitment to safety and training

Training the individuals that show up on time everyday and display a degree of both aptitude and work ethic

Investing in their employees and giving them clear assurance that there is a stable position for them with the company. When we hear of production being sent over the border to take advantage of cheaper labor costs and we're left wondering if we'll even have a forty-hour work week doesn't bode well.

Hiring qualified people from within, not DEI morons who cannot form a coherent sentence and lack critical knowledge about our products and how they are assembled.

Better hiring decisions that aren't based on DEI policies and are.more.focused on qualifications. Maybe try to promote from within rather than bringing in someone with zero prior experience to the manufacturing environment we work in daily.

Our department NEEDS to be organized ASAP. The way that we are running the shop is chaotic on a daily basis. We have worked every Fridays for the past 3 years (that we suppose to have Fridays off) and some Saturdays and we even have people that comes "On call" to find that Monday the lines are down.

The insurance, and the vacation time has gotten better.

Health Insurance and my hourly pay.

Supervisors are not eligible for any of the compensation packages that I'm aware of except the bonuses which are nice.

Insurance, although it's not as good as it use to be to me.

Health Insurance, life insurance, wages per hour

Job security. Overtime opportunities like we had last year

I have been here a long time and don't get the recognition for what I know and contribute to the company.

The influx of immigrants being hired to the facility is a clear indication of stagnant wages being paid to dependable, hard-working Americans who deserve fair pay and preference over those who cannot even speak the national language.

getting paid the same as others that can't do their job.

because everyone gets the same raises no matter how well they perform.

Seeing them grow personally and professionally over the past few years.

For the most part we get along well with each other.

We are all experienced in our field and know what needs to be done.

Trabajo en equipo y compromiso por el cumplimiento de los objetivos

I am proud of the abilities and skill level of our team members. Sheet metal work is a highly specialized trade that requires a level of expertise and precision that few possess.

Currently there is a language barrier and people can not be trained properly because of this.

We're all in need of career development

Coworkers are mostly lazy, not organized. We could work better together if my coworkers cared about their job.

My coworkers need to check their parts. Do not put off doing something to leave for others.

Depends on the employee; some just need to grow up. Many can't speak English and it creates a serious problem with communication with directly affects quality and safety concerns throughout the plant.

I would say management for the most part does a great job being professional and set a good example to team members.

The equipment is newer than most companies. Clean environment

I appreciate the way HOSHIZAKI takes care of it's employees

Clean friendly and comfortable and it has allowed me to grow

La coordialidad de las personas

We need work. But other than that this is a good place to work

Not sending jobs to foreign countries would be a great start. Maybe have the "sales team" actually do their job

Employees that care about work ethics.

I still think this survey is aimed at the office group. When we win the award for best manufactoring company to work for then I will believe other wise.

Only hire American workers. Promotions based on merit. If the company elects to shut down manufacturing under the guise of balancing inventory and production, employees should receive their hourly rate for that day as they are not choosing to abstain from work but are being forced out of work.

Feeling of accomplishment when learning new programs and the part works well at the machine.

Being productive and troubleshooting issues to improve our efficiency.

Programming parts for the Amada punching

Completing a task and getting paid.

Being apart of HOSHIZAKI. Knowing I have a good career ahead

Its hard to get up so early

Work is being sent to foreign countries and American workers are being downsized. And they're projecting even lower sales next year, so why send work somewhere else?

It's hard to get up as early as we do and be motivated about coming to work.

Manufacturing has slowed to a crawl, and we're hearing that production is being sent to Central America to take advantage of cheaper wages. People are wondering whether or not they'll have a job in six months, and all this after we spent near all of 2025 working 50 hours a week

You get up a 3:30 every morning and tell me how you feel
