AJ Rose Manufacturing Company

Used to be a great place to work, but is now just better than being unemployed. Management and supervisors constantly passing the buck. Turnover rate is higher than ever, and it seems as though they will hire anyone. The pay is decent once you make top rate after a year, but almost no one makes it that far anymore. The hours are set, and there is too much mandatory overtime. You will be expected to figure out a lot on your own. Older employees are catered to while everyone else is left to themselves. The union is in lock step with the company and won’t fight for workers. The accountability and communication is a total joke. There is zero leadership. Very cliquey. I used to really enjoy the work, but the machines are very old and aren’t being serviced regularly. Parts of the building are over 100 years old. There was a minor explosion recently that ruined part of the building. This place is a literal dumpster fire.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Not one thing. Everybody there, because it's a union shop is off their rocker and you must be able to grow eyes in the back of your head and if possible record every encounter you have with anyone that works there. Just to cover your back when it blows up in your face because it will

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It's piece work so making your quota

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Your a slave to the machine and you can't trust anyone 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long and mundane. It's  a factory

10 hour shifts m-f, then 6 hours Saturday usually mandatory, if you are 2nd shift they expect you to work till 2am on Fridays and then come in at 11am on Saturdays. Even if you give enough notice they will give you a point for taking a day off still. Long boring days, most employees look miserable. To many red flags to list. And the breaks for 10 or 12 hour shifts are joke, one 15 minute break, half hour lunch unpaid with and extra 15minutes paid for a total of 45 minutes for lunch then one 5 minute break 3 hours later.

Great people that work there but the main issue is with the upper management.  Was verbally promised advancement after 6 months only for them to hire a fresh college grad without even floating the job to me. Weekend schedules are not posted until Thursday so planning any weekend activities is near impossible. Only allowed to accurate 2 points in the first 90 days otherwise you're let go. Only a platry sum of 5 days vacation to use however if you are new you lose out to more senior persons. 

I was the second shift supervisor. When I came in to work the hand off from first shift to second shift was very professionally done. Management support from the top down was the best I've seen in my career. I enjoyed working with the management people along with all of the employees in the plant. The technology in the plant was state of the art through out. Just overall a great place to work.

AJ Rose is an amazing place to work. The people are for the most part, friendly and the work is not that bad. It is kind of dirty depending on the job you are on and the upstairs is kind of hot in the summer but other than that it was fine. Manegement is really uptight and it is very strict but not that bad. The hardest part was trying to meet expectations that where not realistic and then being let go and replaced by a robot who could meet them better. The most enjoyable part was the paychecks. They do pay well at this company.

its really a cool job. not doing the same thing everyday. they will let you learn everything to be more productive. Only challenge is working second shift cant get on first cause everyone with seniority is quick to take the position soon as it opens. but if you get in you will be a fool to let it go!

16 point system for absences and late occurrences. Almost every major holiday is paid after you are in for 90 days. Union shop. 2 weeks vacation after 1 year of service. Overtime can be mandatory during busy times. 2nd shift gets away with murder while people on 1st get written up for petty things. Hard workers don't get enough praise. Some departments have the blind leading the blind. 

You work a lot, but it's worth it. Some jobs are harder than others, The most enjoyable part of the job and place is the people. I think MOST of the people there are wonderful...some really, REALLY good people work there. The harderst part can be the OT daily...long hours. I think they could improve with their management and their Training for new hires. Some are GREAT and others...not so much.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Easy job and boring too, some of the time you work by yourself.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No communication,to many hours. It's like no one knows how to run the place.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Noise the air is not pleasant.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful , boring and long . Some of the time nobody knows what have to be done.
