Toxicity At Its Finest - Title Specialist Lucid Motors Employee Review

people over there are willing to help

too many meetings and deadline is tight

High pay, good benefits, fully paid parental leave (8 weeks)

Dishonesty in hiring process and inconsistent schedule: I was told I would be working 4pm to 1AM five days a week, somewhat manageable with a family. They switched my schedule immediately after hiring (before even going to shift) to 5pm to 5Am, then 6pm to 2:30am, then 6pm to 5 am, then back to 5pm to 5am. I never actually worked the schedule they said I would, which really messed up my home life. On top of this, they will expect you to work Saturdays and sometimes sundays on short notice, sometimes on a Friday you’ll find out that you’re working on the weekend, full shifts, 12 hours. The work itself? I felt completely unchallenged. My title was maintenance technician, but I can’t actually think of much real maintenance we did. Recovery technician would be a more accurate job title, and it was dull. I came from a very technical background, expecting very technical work at Lucid, but it ended up being mostly resetting sensors and resetting FANUC robots, then resuming the line. The work culture sucks. Night shift was brutal, the managers (one especially) try very hard to please their superiors at the cost of their relationship with technicians. You will have “one on one” interviews every month where it’s actually two managers interrogating you and letting you know about some vague training plan they have for you, for some of the most menial tasks I’ve ever done in a decade of manufacturing.
