The plant already has a battery assembly hall, this will enable them to manufacture the batteries as well. They are also in the process of building a sheet metal fabrication plant as well. I think they spent close to a billion on it as well. I worked there for the past 8 years. Shit job with even shittier management.

I’ve not worked there but most of my coworkers have at some point in their career. I live ten mins from the factory.

The people that actually work for beamer have a good gig. The people who work there as "contractors" or whatever not so much. I live in Fountain Inn where there are several plants that supply bmw and they seem pretty hit or miss as far as places to work.

It is better than other jobs you can get with no degree but still not a great job. They work their employees hard as shit and pretend that their entire lives should revolve around the job.
