Advanced Labelworx, Inc.

I have worked for Advanced Labelworx for 7 years. During this time I have been given the opportunity to hold three different titles as I have been promoted through the organization. The journey has not been easy and working hard to earn the recognition of the company has taken many personal hours. We are an entrepreneurial company and it's been hard to find a large concentration of people who want to grow and prove their skills and potential within the company. Its very rare to find that exceptional worker that fights to do everything they can in their career to succeed for their family and the company. At Advanced Labelworx I work with a large number of these people who balance life to provide for their family while also working to make sure the company takes care of the customers. I am proud to work here and to work with many additional people who feel the same way. Several of the employees have worked with Advanced Labelworx for 10, 15, 25 and even 30 years. Some employees have left over the years only to return back to Advanced Labelworx. I work with many employees that have returned at various levels within the organization. The bottom line about Advanced Labelworx is this, Working the best way to make sure our customers are taken care of and the company is managed to remain healthy is hard work. Things that are worth having and that provide a benefit takes an investment with anything in life. We have an employee population that understands this and we welcome anyone who feels the same way. If you want to build a carrier and avoid having a resume that post a job every year to two years you can find a rewarding career here at Advanced Labelworx.

I was hired on full time at Advanced Labelworx in June of 2019. I started in January and was told that they review for full time hires mid year. I started in finishing and was promoted into the warehouse. It's nice not to be looking for a job during the holiday season. I did not know where my next paycheck was going to come from. People started to talk about the Christmas party making comments about the gifts. This year management provided cash or gift cards. Production was heavy during the Christmas season so we stopped to eat a catered meal and then had pizza the following week to get back together to celebrate the holiday. It's a welcome change to some of the big companies in the area that I have tried to get hired on full time. I do not feel like I am just a number with this company. I feel like I am part of a team and this feels so good this year compared to where I was in 2018. I think the year ahead is going to be merry and bright now that I have a solid place to work.

I have worked in the office/non-production side of the company for just under a year.  The label industry was a new field for me to navigate and much more intense and fast-paced than I would have assumed.  That being said, I do prefer a more intense scope of work.  I have excellent co-workers who have been very open with information to assist me in learning this industry and the company culture.  Confident and concise communication is most effective with upper management/ownership and those that seem to falter are the ones who keep to themselves until they have a list of grievances that overwhelm them.  Talking with a supervisor may or may not change the course of action, but it does seem to garner respect when paired with a consistent knowledge base.  Management is very results driven, but the shifting priorities does mean you have to be able to quickly adjust to keep up in order to produce the expectations.  The owner does micromanage if there are perceived weaknesses in work and some managers buffer this with varying effectiveness.  

You must be competent and confident with the ability to be mentally flexible for success here.

This place is a joke. It was a step for me to get into manufacturing and boy did they show out. The management  in this place SUCKS. They promise you things and it never happens. They put you in positions and don't give you the pay or the title for said position. The only good thing I can say about this place is they will work with you if you have some kind of emergency or family problem. One of the managers does nothing but feed you bs to keep you in there. They say that anyone involved in an issue that comes up will be disciplined. WRONG!! They only discipline one of them and it usually ends up in termination. They don't give raises because they say people don't put forth an effort to do anything other than what they were brought in to do. But when people step up they don't show appreciation for you or what you have done for them. They use you till your done then try to put you in another position that they don't ever give you the praise for. Management hides things from the company owner and there employees! 

DO NOT work for this company! They will fire you for no good reason! Here's my experience with ALI. I went into this job hopeful, after a very financially difficult period. Good pay, and a great schedule, nice people. On my first two days I watched 3 people walk out. I wondered why they would ever leave. It seemed like a good job. Now, I had no prior factory experience, so everything was all new to me. After just ONE WEEK, they pulled me aside and FIRED ME because they didn't feel I was learning how to use the machines fast enough. Now my fiance and I are back in the same boat. Thank you Advanced Labelworx Inc for getting my hopes up at a better life and firing me while I was still being trained. As bad as I hate to wish unemployment on others, I hope this company falls apart and there's nobody there to bail them out, just like there's nobody there to bail out the hard workers willing to learn that ALI just throws away. 

The people in this workplace are extremely unpleasant. The atmosphere is filled with frustration, rudeness, and constant disrespect. This comes from a system that creates unnecessary pressure and stressful conditions for employees, pushing everyone beyond reasonable limits just to extract more output. Some employees feel trapped with no real option but to stay, and over time many have become bitter and disengaged. There are constant mind games, blame shifting, and deeply unethical behavior aimed at undermining others and removing internal competition. Those in charge could have improved the situation by paying attention, but there is clear indifference. The focus remains on squeezing as much work as possible from people while ignoring the damage being done to morale and wellbeing. It is completely unacceptable.

On a typical day I would arrive and check emails and voice mails to see what items needed to be expedited. I would attend sales meetings, accounts payable meetings and meet with graphic design. I would then have conference calls with my different customers and establish their needs for the coming weeks.
I learned how business is conducted in different parts of the world and how to plan business around plant closures due to holidays in other countries.
My co-workers were great. There were many different people from all walks of life as well as different countries.
The hardest part of my job was meeting my customers needs when I had to get approval from others. When a plan has to get several peoples approval and none of those people have time it is very difficult.
The most enjoyable part of my job was working with all the great people. Customers and co-workers were all wonderful.

The culture at Advanced Labelworx in the manufacturing departments is relaxed. We have a good relationship with each other working in our departments. I have been with the company for 3 months and I have been learning how to inspect product before we ship jobs out the door. Sometimes I have to work with my crew on the weekends but we try to make it only a half day where we can still have a weekend with family. I have some friends that work in the large companies around us here in Anderson, SC. I am ok with working a standard shift with some overtime. I am not ok with working a swing shift or in a hot shop floor like other companies in the area. I do not know much about the company office environment. I work with a production supervisor that has to be in meetings all the time but he does a good job of relaying the information to the group. I know I have only been here three months but I appreciate the company asking me for my feedback as a fresh set of eyes.

Working at Advanced Labelworx works for me because I live close to the plant. I do not like having to drive far to work a job. I have worked for the company for a little less than one year. When I interviewed for my position I asked about the overtime in the office area and was told that it was managed well and that not much overtime would be required. I now know that in their busy season some extra time is required but they allow me to come in early vs. stay late so long as the job gets done. I was asked questions about my attention to detail and  had to take an online test. During my time here my supervisor has referenced this test to work on some of my developmental concerns the test generated. This caught me off guard at first because I felt confident in what I do but I later realized that there are people here that are trying to make us better. I do not feel like a number here but I wish there was a way to gain more trust quicker.

You will not advance. You will receive no raises. You will be subject to the favoritism, the manipulation, and the gaslighting. It isn’t even worth the pay. They will do everything to avoid giving you the wage you deserve. Your coworkers are always watching, trying to 1Up you. Your supervisor will laugh at genuine questions and comments. “This is a family,” is a massive, huge, red flag. Additionally, the place runs in spite of the owner… from what everyone up top makes it sound like. They refuse to hire more employees (or increase the pay in order to even get any applicants) and dog on the loyal ones. They will allow something one day, and the next, you are written up for it. They beg for you to be consistent, but cannot be, themselves. Save your sanity and go make significantly more elsewhere. I have never felt more taken for granted.
