Accupac

Accupac is not a awful job if you want just a consistent, base pay check every two weeks. The chances of getting a promotion or more than the annual 2% raise, you will have to work a long time and as well as be lucky. There is not much opportunity to move up and if you try to learn more,  your coworkers would get mad and seem as if you are trying to be better than them simply by wanting to move past them. There are a few good, honest, hard working people there, but the high school like gossip will detour you away from making friends with most people. There are a lot of cliques and a lot of people like to spread rumors. The high ups in this company do not really know what goes on beneath them. Third shift, where there are no higher ups who care enough to stay past 5 PM or come in before 9 AM, can literally get away with anything. Countless times I would come in early and see the night shift crew literally sleeping on their forklifts. I brought it to my immediate supervisor attention as well as my managers attention. The response was something along the lines of "well we don't have a lot of guys who work overnight so if I fire anyone than no one would be here." I guess paying 3 guys to sleep all night is better than not paying 3 guys at all? The money is spent in the company trying to make the facilities look good, while the workers do not get a competitive pay, there is a high turnover rate. I know I said that there is a lot of gossip, but that is the only kind of communication that happens. The worst part of the job is probably the lack of communication. None of the departments are ever on the same page. Product is constantly being shipped back and forth between the different locations and no one knows what to do, just wasting money sending pallets back and forth. You will come into work and there will be a huge pile of work for you to do with no explanation from the previous shift. Your boss will expect you to do 3 things at once, and if you only get 2 things done, you will get written up. Overall its not an awful company, but there are much better opportunities out there.

What is the best part of working at the company?
NOTHING. You are thrown into the job without any proper or detailed training. An employee is put on a fast production line on the first day without knowing exactly what is supposed to be done. There is no organization at all. Even the line leaders are not helpful in anyway.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Accupac is an extremely stressful, non stop fast paced warehouse. More like a sweat shop. I experienced a lot of discrimination amongst my coworkers which makes doing your job that much harder. There is no one around to ask when you have questions and my coworkers were not helpful, instead they purposely would make my life and shift much harder and more stressful than it needed to be. I have never experienced such discrimination amongst the employees. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
extremely fast paced, unorganized, no direction as to what exactly needs to be done. I had to learn myself by working on different production lines. Standing in one exact spot for long hours on a concrete floor.

My day at work was challenging and rewarding.  This was due to providing  staff with the necessary information to complete their CAPA's. Everyone helped out others within their job.  This helped in understanding the process flow.
I learned that working with other people/departments and understanding their work made it easier to do mine.  Their process tied into mine.
Management once was wonderful.  When we were struck with Covid then the Virus, this is when Management left, CEO's left, and it became stressful with added work and morale was diminishing.
Hardest part of the job was when a new Supervisor was hired and all the job responsibilities I once had, and enjoyed were taken away.  I felt belittled, and not appreciated for what I had done. I was constantly mico-managed.  
The most enjoyable part was the people.  Once the people got stressed out, the morale disappeared and we had to hold on to one another for support.

So much is wrong with this company, pay attention to the other reviews. 

Constant turnover means rushed and poor training. You will be pushed to meet impossible deadlines, often to where you work through lunch and stay late.  Other analysts will consistently make mistakes and not be corrected by supervisors or management, but you will have to stay late to fix said mistake. Some people in the lab seem to have lots of free time to browse their emails and talk about personal business while you sweat.  Work conditions are often uncomfortable if not hazardous. A coworker with a doctor's note was basically ignored and told to keep working in a way that went against medical orders.  There are no sick days given, you are expected to take any sickness out of your PTO. 

The list could keep going in regards to how awful this place is to work at. The low pay is not worth the damage to one's mental health.  

Accupac is expanding and a lot of opportunities are opening up, though there are some growing pains. If you want to do your 8 hours and go home fine but don't expect advancement. If, however, you are motivated, work hard, contribute to solutions, and are willing to work as part of a team then the sky's the limit. One example is one of the VPs has worked at Accupac for over 20 years and started on the floor at the bottom and worked his way up, though he would never boast about it. In the end don't blame others for your failure and celebrate your and the companies success.

Busy place  to work. However, the atmosphere is so so. Lots of hard working people on my shift but the pay and compensation are terrible. Upper management is horrible too. The company is trying to modernize but only for the WOW factor of its visitors. Money not spent in the right places. Not much thought given to peoples lives outside of work. It's all about the investors and how much money they can make. Accupac is a good place to learn but beyond that I
would not make a career of it. Holidays here are a joke. Lucky if you get any time off. They never seem to want to close down for anything. (even during the covid 19 virus outbreak) There have been cases here that have not been reported and covered up. Moral is also not to good here. Again, this is a good place to learn but not a place you want to stay at for very long.

Very poor working conditions. Management cares more for putting up a good show to the customer then it does about it's employees.They are not concerned with the needs that make each department function properly. Management doesn't know or doesn't care to help/fix a problem in their own departments. Benefits are inadequate. No room for advancement. Years of experience mean nothing. College degree is all they care about. No bonuses and raises are very minimal. Morale is extremely low. The only good thing about this company are the blue collar workers. They are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Overall this is the worse company I have ever worked for!

They accept all sorts of people. The pay is somewhat decent. Most days is stressful, few days are less stressful. I only enjoyed when the shift is almost over. Some coworkers are nice, some are not nice. It's a mix of everything. Some days, there's not much to do, and sometimes you get sent home. Standing for 8 hours is pretty tough but you get used to it. Some Machines are very loud. Very tiring. Bathrooms are always dirty and the bathrooms are too tight, sometimes smelly, sometimes not; barely any space to squeeze through to get to the toilet. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
it was great during the time of the previous admin;  worked like a family with common goals to further the growth of the company

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
revamped executive/leadership so much that it caused the upheaval of all the strategies and systems that previous put in place

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
very fast pace;  some managers cut too many corners to keep up;  leadership bordered on the unethical

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
audits and meetings;  then more meetings

Seems to be no clear company direction. Procedures and rules change daily. Equipment is OLD. Dirty and unsafe. Company keeps asking for more, but gives nothing in return . Shift schedule, including hours and scheduled work days, change every few months, whether you like it or not. You can also be fired at any time with no warning, for some convoluted reason. Way more bad than good at this place!
