I'm an employee on the production floor.nnPositive:nFirst: The People. I work with mostly good hardworking folks. There are very few coworkers I don't get along with, nevertheless we still work together to make quality equipment.nThis is a Company where teamwork is of great importance and there is usually someone around to assist another if they need it.nnSecond: Fast paced. Building the equipment is time/deadline based. The guidelines need to be updated in a bad way but they state each machine and how long it should take to build it from start to ready for inspection.nnNegative:nFirst, It is irritating when someone who has not worked the floor, regardless of 'having a degree' reorganizes it with out consulting those of us on the production floor. We're working the floor, we're going to know generally if not specifically how our work area(s) should be organized for max efficiency. All too often our ideas fall on deaf ears or we are told that our little change/ suggestion would take too long or be too difficult to implement.nnSecond, we run out of parts to build machines often enough to make many of us frustrated. It's part of the J.I.T. business model which is ideally designed to increase efficiency and cut costs by running the business leaner and receiving goods only as they are needed. I'm all for running leaner (especially to conserve space and count inventory) except when a part is needed but not available.nnThird: Communication is last because I'd like to think (knowingly naively) that as a Company we are improving. There are always going to be ups and downs to any organization but I hope to move this to the positive section of my opinion soon.nnAbout the Company:nThe production floor has three shifts: first, second, and weekend. There are varying start and end times depending on what department and what job an individual has but first shift largely starts around 5 A.M. and second shift starts around 3:30 P.M., both officially Monday- Thursday, ten hour workdays. Weekend shift is Friday- Sunday, largely 5 A.M. to 5 P.M. All three with opportunities for overtime.nnAt Life Fitness we: fabricate, weld, grind smooth, powder coat paint, and assemble strength training machines. Brands include: Hammer Strength, Motion Technology Selectorized, Insignia, and Signature Plate Loading among a couple others. These machines are then inspected, and if inspection passes, they are shipped out to our Customers all over the world.
