4Over, LLC

Ok. First off this is my first manufacturing job. All my previous jobs were retail. And....well utterly unsatisfying. 4over Inc I had never once heard of when I applied. My starting wage was $10.00 an hour. I started as a Packer in the Cutting department. Basically in this position your required to make a lot of boxes and put stuff in them. Its simple. But it requires excellent memory and multi-tasking. I was moved to a machine(Cutter) which is basically a giant razor blade for cutting paper. After One-Year of successfully training and learning to operate this machine I was given a wage increase to $12. This job requires constant standing. And lifting consistently upwards of 20 to 100lbs on a regular basis. Women need not apply. Women are usually directed to "quality control" which has the same pay structure as cutters. Not sure why this is? But its how they do things. Also the Ohio Plant is currently running a 6 day a week schedule....so new hires can expect this. Nice because it equals constant Overtime $$$ and its annoying because your weekends are gone. This pretains mostly to the cutting department....other departments have different pay scales and hours. 

   The benefits are remarkably good. And cheap as long as your insuring only yourself....families it gets much more expensive very quickly. Also there are TONS of options and supplimental insurance. You also get the normal jazz all your major holidays are paid. Plus you get One floating holiday to use as you wish. Paid time off is slow to accrue in my opinion. But its there. The wages are not bad. I find them to be good. But I'm younger and not really supporting a family. Everybody is different.
   The breaks are rough. Expect 2 ten minute breaks and a 30 minute unpaid lunch. Right as you sit down and get comfortable its right back to the floor. Also the management is a bit weird? Sometimes you score an amazing boss. Sometimes not. Also I've come to find keeping things to yourself is important....being in a large plant feels like high school all over again. 
   The BIGGEST thing for anyone considering this company is to be wary of missing work. I've seen a good many individuals fired for something as simple as missing work. This place is fairly understanding of emergency situations....that happens. But to much to soon will get you booted to the curb. 

Overall? I'd say its not a bad place to work. Show up on time and its a wonderful place to work. Easy to stay under the radar and the work really isn't that hard. Its just enough to send you home tired. But not exhausted. Overtime opportunities are EVERYWHERE. Advancement is more difficult and really just depends on if you want to grow with the company or not. You can come in and stay what you are for as long as you want. To my knowledge no position has any "top out" pay cap. Or you can earn some college degrees and gain senority and bounce to different departments and you can move up. Its just more difficult then most places.

I would advise anyone looking for a job to avoid this place. They will low ball you and do all they can to bend you to their will. You will not be treated fairly, if they tell you they'll do something for you they are lying. You will work the same job same position as someone else with the same amount of time and your pay will be vastly different. This is based off of who you know/ who you are related to. We need unions here badly! 

The culture is toxic here...and I mean TOXIC! Management does not respect their workers at all. Co workers treat each other horribly gossip horseplay etc all go on constantly. 

What this place needs in terms of management is less of them. Too many of them right now, all doing something different and distracting workers. It's hard to get my tasks done when I have 4 to 6 managers a day coming around all bothering me about the same thing. They act as if we don't have emails and phones...they have to come around in person? This shows a major lack of skill. It's 2020 time to learn how to use that computer on your desk, and craft an email. It wouldn't shock me if they can't read...I'm serious.

Advice fire the current manager's or demote them. Hire new blood managers that will come in and work in a modern and less bias way. Less talk and more action guy's...All you do is sent emails about how we are gonna do this and do that. No one cares. You don't pay me enough to care. We don't give a single hoot about whatever corporate HR gimmick you've worked up to look as tho you can about the current issues at hand or people. Stop it. We know your lying. We just want to be left alone and do our jobs.

As per the ToS of this site I am not allowed to list people by names and my issues with them or I would gladly do so. Just believe me when I tell you that this company makes a lot of money for its owner/s and managers ...while the rest of us who actually earn these profits make very little. 


A typical day in the life of a Prepress Operator involves juggling many deadlines, dealing with a range of customer base from the most cooperative and pleasant, to the most obnoxious and demanding (..and cheap). All the while staying on top of the actual work involved to ensure production goes smoothly. Therefore, the ability to multitask is a MUST. All these things along with a ever lingering fear of overlooking the most minute of detail that will cost the company hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, tends to put a stress on one's work life which transcends to your regular life. The people there can either be your best friend or worst reprimanding experience if you are not careful. But overall, they are understanding and do their own best to see things from the human perspective. The hardest part of the job is the human aspect: customers who change their minds every so often and do not allow for a smooth workflow, which includes those that have not made up their mind on what they want printed or those that require changes to a print that is already on press. The most enjoyable part the job has to offer is the preflighting of files. When it is just you and the computer working together to generate a Print-ready file, and the occasional graphic design request doesn't hurt to have come every once in a while.

On a typical day, I process around 30 claims from clients regarding issues with printed jobs. I determine if the issue is due a file problem, or is part of production error. I answer around 30-50 emails a day.

I learned while working with 4over, that you have to pick and choose your battles wisely, with clients and staff. Some clients are treated better than others, even when the same error is made.

My co-workers are great, there really is a sense that we are all trying to work together. However. some departments do not get along with others, and fight each determination you make.

Hardest part of my job is managing the stress and not allowing the negative things clients and some co-workers make not affect you personally.

The most enjoyable part of my job is actually resolving an issue and helping to further educate the industry to prevent printing/ file errors. It is always nice when a client takes the time to say, "Thank-you" when you tell them about an issue, rather then grasping at straws to blame you for their issues.

If you are looking at working for this company, I would think again.  The corporate office is a joke, they are unorganized and do not understand basic laws of HR. Your manager and corporate will tell you that they will be advancing you, but it will never happen.  Then when you ask about it, they will set you up to be fired.  A bit of advice if you do work there, act stupid.  They do not like anyone who can think on their own or offer a way of doing things better.  They think they know everything.  If you have a degree, don't worry about using any of it here.  They don't care what you bring to the table.  Don't worry about dedicating yourself to this job, they will not appreciate anything extra that you bring to the table.  The same rules do not apply to everyone.  The employee handbook is only followed for some, while others get away with anything.  You are always set up to have to lie to corporate to cover up what is really going on.

You do the same thing everyday, just a different day of the week.
I learned about paper/box dimensions and properly packing products so the customer gets their order safely/undamaged. I learned how to problem solve and how to help newbies. I also did some cross training and welcomed it to get away from routine.
Everyone is pretty friendly as long as you're not causing mischief. You're there to work and I find it hard to respect perpetual slackers.
The hardest part of the job is the mandatory overtime or running behind on orders. It is a factory, so it's pretty loud. Other than that, it's not too bad. 
The most enjoyable part of the job is the co-workers, the monotony and the amount of voluntary overtime available. If it's a busy season for orders and you need money, you will have opportunities to work OT.

Overall
My experience working at 4over, Inc. Besides the subpar pay, 4over is a nice place to work. I worked their for two years before I left.

Stay away! The company is full of unqualified, inexperienced, stubborn, inconsiderate, "yes" people who work in silos because they don't want you to know how little they actually do/know. This family-owned business does not understand how to run a business nor how to locate and cultivate talent. They prefer instead to promote their friends and relatives. The amount of misinformation communicated internally and externally was ridiculous. HR is very unprofessional and unwelcoming. Management never wants your input, they want you to smile and agree with whatever new policy they have come up with.

I've been here for two years at the huber plant and it has been terrible. The work and life balance is awful, you almost always work 6 days a week and they try to force 12 hour days down your throat, threatening to count the extra hours against you if you dont show up. The management is terrible and they will overwork you. Absolutely NO chance of advancement or moving departments. The pay is good and so are the benefits. The problem is the management continues to keep us understaffed for our workload, resulting in 6 day work weeks and 12 hour days. There is also terrible drama and management does nothing about it. All in all, DONT WORK HERE.

Equipment is broken and wore out, have to train new people weekly. Managent is in way over their head one person tries to manage 34 people and do four jobs, fails consistently and blaims everyone else. Lots of promises are made none are kept. All in all if you want to learn a trade it's good place to start but if your a journeyman don't waste your skills, they will never appreciate your talent. It is the Mc Donalds of print. 
Discrimination is the normal,  and while they give you pto they never approve it and take it as much as possible. Been in printing 20 years and have never been so let down in a company that I put my all in.
