APP is a great company that is always trying to build a fun but challenging culture. They provide good benefits and pay. It is a growing company that makes an effort to promote from within whenever possible. However, things are not just given to you because you have been here a few years. Performance and attendance are measured and those who do well based on results get opportunities over those who slack off or can't produce results. 

We want a strong team that enjoys working together. If you are smart, work hard, and have a positive attitude this is a great place to work and there are opportunities to move up. If you want to just get by, miss work, or try to BS and complain your way up the ladder - it won't work here. It's simple: performance and attitude results in rewards.

This place claims to be family oriented but when it comes down to it they are far from it. They have “policies” in place and employees are expected to follow them, which is a given. However management and their “leads” (area trainers) make up their own policies and rules to fit the current situation. The training program is a joke as there really isn’t one. Management lies to you about advancement opportunities as there are really none. They tell you what you want to hear during the interview to get you to work there but when you actually get in you see that there are no advancement opportunities. They have one family who has about 10 members who work there and APP caters to them because if one member get upset they all threaten to quit. Bottom line is that if you want to work for a company who lies to you during an interview and doesn’t follow its own policies set in place then go work here and good luck!

The pay is not the best,we haven’t received a raise since January 2021. They gave us a raise in the fall but we found out that they raised the starting wage so it wasn’t really a raise although the office people did receive a raise this month the production floor did not. They don’t tell you when your hired,but you will work overtime,it’s mandatory that you work Saturdays when they want you to so you cannot make plans for anything. The PTO time is a joke they don’t want you to take time off so you accrue the time very slowly.
The actual work is ok but I feel that it’s not a healthy environment,the products that are used to make the parts are toxic and safety standards are questionable.

In the four years I have been employed at APP it has been a positive experience. The people I work with are awesome. This includes ALL departments. We work together as a team to overcome any and all issues that may arise.
Management has been very cooperative in addressing any issues we may have. They are ALL very eager to help us in any way needed. The owner of the company is a hands on guy that is very visible on the floor. He works side by side with all of us.
APP IS A GREAT place to work if you are willing to work in a fast paced environment and have a strong work ethic . The pay you receive is based on you and your performance. As far as overtime goes I feel honored to work for a company that is growing and provides the training I need to be the best I can be. All I have to do is ask and I'm provided with the training I feel I need.
A big thumbs up for APP .

Excellent Company that cares about the workers.  Good pay for the work and area -- overtime available.  Very fast paced.  Typical day flies by because always busy.  It is a fun environment and I liked that the management held employees accountable.  If I had to say anything negative about management it was that they gave poor performing employees too many chances.  They try them in different positions to find a skill match, but those employees should have been fired sooner because they were lazy or had an attendance problem.  In general everyone was helpful and nice.  If you didn't understand you just asked a supervisor or engineer and they would help get you going in the right direction.  I wish I could find a place like APP out here where my wife's family is from.  

My short but memorable time at APP was a great experience. Training was fast and to the point, you’re provided with a notebook for notes and also have access to information on certain machinery you can print out and refer too. The work environment is probably the most laid back and relaxed atmospheres you could imagine. The company holds a lot of parties and picnics as well. I had all intentions of being a part of the team for a while but was given an opportunity closer to home and thankfully everyone was really understanding. There a growing business and will continue to grow and succeed 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Tuff question, I'd have to say that it's a clean environment, so ya don't get very dirty

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Knowing that you'll probably have to work 6 days a week. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The actual work wasn't hard but they lead you along like you mean something to them...when in reality you don't 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Had its ups and downs...mostly downs. But that's my experience I don't think I was in the click

Very unorganized, very low pay,benefits are not the best. There are too many office people and not enough workers on the production floor. There needs to be a Human Resources person,we do not get information we need. Absolutely no privacy,personal office and management will tell anyone your business. Break room and bathrooms are totally filthy. Again very,very low pay… they gave us a so called raise in the fall,then we found out they raised the starting wage so someone starting today makes as much as someone with a few years service. That was a slap in the face and they think were unaware of it.

APP gives everyone a chance to grow. The work is challenging, but in a good way. Managers always work with us to help us learn things we didn't know before. They are nice and don't think you're stupid if you don't get something. The supervisors are very hands on and know how to do the job they ask you to do. 
APP is really fun and everyone is super cool here. If you don't like what you're doing, you can talk to someone to try to figure something out. Sometimes the job just isn't for everyone, but that's not because of APP. You have to put in the work to get anything out of it. 

I am a current operator and I really enjoy working there. As with all companies you have your good and bad. Just recently we had a devastating fire and it really showed how we ALL work as a team. There was no managers,engineers,nobody saying that's not my job, it was what can I do...we all came together to get stuff done. Owners/management are a good group of bosses.
