Overall the pay is decent, but the amount of work you do does not match the pay nor is it worth the physical and mental toll it will take on you. From the hiring fair to the orientation, I was told it was an 8 hour shift 6am-230pm, with every other Saturday being overtime. When I started my coworkers told me just wait until I get past two weeks, and to my shock starting time  was 345am to 230pm every day 5 days a week with most Saturdays too. It would be different if from the start I was told about this, to avoid wasting the companies and my time, but unfortunately it was something that is just sprung onto you like every other employee. On top of that there is no formal training period whatsoever, management just throws you to the wolves and expects you to pick up on everything by yourself or have another employee who isn’t paid to train try to “train” you when most of the time they weren’t trained properly either. Overall this company sucks, it’s definitely something you can make a career out of and make decent money if you don’t mind not having a personal life and giving your life and body to a company that will chew you up and spit you out as fast as they hired you. Management sucks, most supervisors suck, and I would never recommend anyone I know to work here.

This company is definitely one that does not care. If you are great at your job your reward is more work nothing else. At first working at ASC was great. Interview was awesome and it was very close to where i live. I made sure to ask during the interview if ASC planned to stay at the building for awhile, and was told no plans on moving. Less then half a year later they decided to uproot everyone and move them 30 miles away. You are treated as a number. You KPIS to reflect your calls, call availability. However everyone is graded on the same scale. You are expected to perform even if you have 10 special customers who email you constantly. If you ask for help the managers will offer you 1 hour of overtime, and ignore anything else. Outside sales reps have the easiest job. They make six figures whilst only having to press forward on emails. The new hires will be paid more than you. If you ask about it HR will brush you off and give a shady reason.  Company always promises to give relief by hiring more people never actually does. Everyone who was a veteran left when they didnt try to accomodate others during the move. The company is a joke for the most part. It is not worth the time or stress. Also they do offer reviews, and boast about how 2022 was their most productive year. Proceeds to give a 3% raise, even if you were given compliments from the CEO. 

Communication is lacking from higher ups. No real concrete news on event of the move to new location. Everyone on floor is friendly and gets work done, keeping the KPI on green. As for my knowledge warehouse has gone from having 30 some workers in past to having 20 give or take including the management. With this being said the ones that stayed are the ones that care and turned their kpi’s  in great standing. With little to no thanks but a paid lunch. We believed maybe we will be rewarded well during reviews but only received a measly 3%. Other than that It’s decent place to work but only for experience. But there little to no way of moving up in company.  
Company has respected my vacation and pto. 
They can’t get people to work since they are moving locations and everyone that has entered is not willing to make the travel to new locations. People with over 20 years have even left. Company has not yet giving out a enticing offers to its employees to stays with them and commit to for some current 25 minute drive to almost a full hour. If you still reading please look at your options and really weigh the pros and cons before taking any action not just here, good luck in your work hunt. I am also keeping my eyes peeled for new employment. 

I worked for this company in a Management, and sadly job did not last long. This company is in a great deal of flux, in that they always have new management and people. They lack direction, knowledge of how to treat people, and don't know how to work with there union employees. They have no real direction on how to lead there people. It is a very large plant, with very large issue to over come. The chew though managers like they are going out of style. In the short time I was there, they went through a plant manager and many others both in management and union employees. If you are unemployed, take the job because nothing to loose, better you be a union employee then in management. But they will find fault in you, because they talk good but really have little idea how to get where they need to be. Educated idiots. I was in maintenance and the machines are not being nor have they being fixed propperly. They had went from 100 maintenance people down to about 50, but they still have the same amount of work needs to be done with half the people and half the time alotted to the employees who fixes them.

I also was a maintenance supervisor for Anvil and I also was there for a very short time. They treat their management teams badly blaming their accumulated obsolescent equipment problems on everything except putting out the money to fix them properly. Ninety-five percent of their union employees never went through an apprenticeship, which is an embarrassment to me, a former I.B.E.W. journeyman. The company also has a discrimination problem with Vietnam vets and disabled people. They tell their employees that if you take time off for knee surgery, and you need a cane to walk for awhile, don't bother coming back to work until you can walk properly. There is no fair overtime compensation and they expect you to work numerous weekends. No family/life balance at all. Too bad after I left I found out that this company has been in turmoil for numerous years.

It use to be an amazing place to work I loved my job I made a bunch of friends there It was laid back and a good job then a new plant manager came in and it all started changing they got really strict about making sure it was always a very clean place I do understand wanting it to be clean but I mean it's a factory it's not a kitchen it's going to be dirty I have tried to go back to work there because I've heard it has gotten a lot better then what it was when I quit but unfortunately they wouldn't hire me back if they would hire me back I'd go back in a heartbeat but it looks like that's not a option. Other then that though if it's like it use to be I'd recommend this place 100% it's a great place to work with great people to work with.

I'm a former employee that ran these mold machines for 4 years. If your willing to show up for work and leave your thinking cap at home then you will thrive in this company. They replace management more then I change my underwear. The managers they bring in are absolutely a waste of money. There knowledge of the positions they are hired for is low to none ( but don't tell them that or you'll find yourself JOBLESS.) Long gone are the bosses that wanted experienced workers that knew there jobs and were dependable. Now it's who can kiss butt the most and still sleep at night. They refuse to spend the money needed to maintain the machinery. So basically if your ok with not having to use your brain and can say YES, YES, YES then apply.

People are running for the door.  High turnover rate.  Management has no clue how to treat their employees, truly sad.   HR is a joke with NO interaction with employees.  Systems and procedures are outdated.   I feel like when you bring up ideas and run them by the managers, they don't want to do anything about it or change anything.   All this company cares about is money and their bottom line.  They do no put employees first.    The company is moving their location causing a lot of people to flee.   Onboarding and training is a joke.    
To sum up, I'd rather scrub toilets than to ever step foot in that door again.  

The job is mostly grunt work no real education required for the job, in large heavy manufacturing companies such as this you are a number. I don't like the fact that your job is to analyze their production material and if you find a problem the first person they want to blame  is the lab technician. They are not willing to look at the problem being in their manufacturing process. The main goal of the company is the bottom line is what matters and little else. I took this job because I needed a job because I like to keep busy and there were no other solid offers on the table at the time. I am disappointed because my skill set is neither wanted or used.

Although not a corporate wide problem, the RI based EPS division suffers from antiquated systems, costing issues and a general lack of middle management discipline towards cost improvement. Upper management is disengaged in root cause analysis and instead fosters a stressful environment of month to month survival. If you enjoy working long hours , the dissatisfaction of being uncompetitive in the market place and a complacent top management then you would enjoy your employment at Anvil-EPS
