Of course i'll go first. I work as a forklift Operator in reciving at MEI (Midwest Express Inc.) which is the wharehouse and consolidation company for HONDA of America and is owned and operated by aswell, about 90% of the parts that Honda oders from it's many suppliers comes here first we house them and consolidate them then ship them out to there order, the East liberty plant (Crosstour, CRV, and Element) and the Marysville Plant (Accord, Acura TL, TSX, and MDX) are the main plants we ship to and work for. But thats what I do its sucks but its a pay check so i'm not complaning.








Update:

I'll half to update this too, as some of you know from the premium member forums I lost my job back in july but I got hired into AGC in late august:

Update: I Can finally repost I lost my job last month and finally started thursday at AGC Automotive America. makin everthing glass for Honda, Toyota, Ford so far thats what I've seen. There are four lines in the part of ther building I work in, the line that I work on makes the corner "sail" window for the Toyota Sienna, the line next to me does the rear glass for the Tundra, next line is new model for ford some side window something that is still in developing faze. and the fourth is the rear side for the Ford Edge.

Heres a list of customers:

http://www.agc-automotive.com/english/outline/cs.html
Heres what I do at work in my department:

We make the whole rear sliding window from raw glass to a complete ready to install part.



We also do this window but the glass comes from kentucky tempered and printed. we prime the glass and cook it put it in a press install the black rubber and clips then it's ready to be installed.



Heres one of the many new racks we are getting in from Ford we just picked up all the windows for the 2011-2012 Focus. (notice prototype on the side of the rack)


As of feb. 25th we now make all the windows for this:




The windshields and rear quarter windows are made in my department due to the encapsulation around them. The sides lights and rear lights are made and finished in tempering. We do all four models four door black and brites and five door black and brites.

Offset Press Operator for the University of Wisconsin. Probably the least exciting profession somebody could have but its a state job and I don't have to kill my body doing it so...

To the OP, why this thread? Looking for a change?
