What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was one of the best everytime I worked into work I was gold everyone needed me for something. People call me for verification, people call me for the forklift, people call me when there needing chemicals, etc.

When I arrived, I clocked in and prepared my station. I had to calibrate each scale. After, I checked my orders in order to know what chemicals i was running that day. I typed the orders into the machine's computer then checked and scanned all the chemicals needed to fulfill each order. While waiting for the machine to start running, I would acquire a bag and a bucket, record the serial number of the bag into the log book, and place the bag within the bucket. Afterward, I would place the bucket onto the line and redistribute the weight after each chemical was inserted. Finally, i would remove the bag and seal it, weigh it for verification, and place it into a metal container. The hardest part of the job was avoiding the toxic chemicals. The most enjoyable part was competing with the other lines to see which line could run the most bag. It made us feel more productive during the day.

Work conditions are terrible no AC during summer, no heater during winter. Upper management makes conditions unworkable and doesn't help or improve like they say will. Not properly trained unless fight for proper training but most just wing it as they go, then quit under frustration of not knowing what they are doing or fired for a mistake caught by Goodyear. Shifts don't get along and sadly, is against each other so work environment just terrible each day. The equipment is falling apart or cover in chemicals making job require much more force then necessary (have to beat chemical out with poles or hand scoop them) even though it's suppose to be automated.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It was just getting busy and on the orders for the day and moving efficiently, keeping busy. The hours were long, so every break was utilized.

A typical day at work is nice but needs equipment updates to help with productivity. While working there I have learned different chemicals, like where they are from and what is hazardous and what is not. It is some good managers there and some that are not good because of there culture differences. The workplace culture is good but as I said before there can be some culture differences on whose ethics are better than the other. The hardest part of the job is clearly building bins and trying to keep up quality with holes in them. The most enjoyable part of the jobs is the money you possibly make if you favorable with the management.

Some days can be more challenging, than others.

Managers have no idea what is going on half the time. There is no communication. Production workers get written up to cover for supervisor mistakes. Upper management is almost textbook when it comes leadership errors. Do not work for this company. There's nearly one supervisors for every 2 employees. Advancement isn't based on merit. And now they're putting up hundreds of cameras in parts of the building where no cameras are needed. And one person's job is to watch the cameras all day to catch people messing up. Always have to look over your shoulder.
