I worked at allnex for a short time in a fulltime filter operater position. The management is very un proffesional and dont care about anything but production.  They don’t really even care if you get a break either. They have no training documents what so ever and expect you to just pick up on the job from watching their senior employees which is ok. But Mind you its an resin plant so it is very very dirty, sticky, smell of fumes all over the plant, and most of the valves and pipes you are to use are coverd in so much crud you dont know what your using. Long hours with only one day off... that wasnt really a full day and night to yourself. So if you have a family and like to spend time with them then this isnt what you want. You work 12 hours and have to bring a lunch because you cant leave for lunch ( but Q.C personnel and office personnel can leave for lunch) that leaves you to eat a burrito or small personal pizza from vending machine. They arent bigg on safety at all hence no gloves at times, respirators, or even a simple ramp to unload 30lbs steel drums needed for drumming. There was a guy training me with three Hernias from all the heavy lifting beacuse they dont even have a drum lift for full barrels of additive ingredients to be added. So prepare to throw out your back.Everything is old and the way of doing things is even older.

Originally started as a summer intern, after three months of learning in entry level position, was made full time. One year from there, promoted to a different department. After three years, again, promoted to another position, all aligning me closer and closer to my career goals. Management is very helpful in listening to future development and rewards efforts to better improve yourself. 

A very friendly family atmosphere always checking in on emotional, mentally wellbeing and workload. Many people often send a helping hand when you ask or before you ask. 

Very Safety and Environment conscious in regards to the site, the town, employees and contractors. Doesn't mind speaking up about safety initiatives and don't hesitate to implement urgent needs.

Even in the midst of COVID, the company always goes the extra mile to communicate possible exposures and stresses more safety precautions for all employees.

Allnex, A typical work day includes running daily purchase order reports for inbound deliveries and also tanker shipments. I also coordinate with the Production units as of where they are at on the schedule. We then stage all batches according to the schedule making sure we have all bulk and small ads they need. The off loading and loading of all bulk tankers are done by the warehouse also. We have meetings with the planning department so we can be sure of any upcoming orders that we should make priority. I was enjoy my job but there isn't any room for advancement, and I would like to further my knowledge in Operations which I do cover from time to time. We have a  of workers who have been  here for some time and have really lost interest in continuing to make the company GREAT!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There are multiple sites around the world with different time zones.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is Very friendly, and diversity. There are 2 sites in the Augusta and South Carolina area.  Both have Women in higher positions. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It's really full but that's what make the day go by faster. I'm in HR and Payroll so there are alot of changes but its manageable.

If you want a job where you’ll never have to worry about getting fired or being laid off then this is the place to be. As long as you show up you will have a job. It doesn’t matter how hard you work just show up, and it doesn’t matter what time you show up. The job isn’t hard at all it’s the people you have to worry about. If you have a good work ethic lose it when you start, they will work you harder the more you know and the more you care about your job and the ones that don’t care get off scotch free. Management doesn’t really bother you but also don’t reprimand the ones that screw up causing more work for the ones that care. 

Pros: Paid Internship
Cons: No direction. Toxic Work Environment

Attempting to learn in the R&D environment at Allnex is a nightmare. I never know who to go to for help. Management does not want to be involved. I came to Allnex to learn, but all I hear is management talking trash about other interns, safety, and the consultants here.  I'm not really sure who is in charge here. I'm hoping to learn at least something while I complete my internship and then move on. 

I enjoy working for allnex. The company is global, focuses on the safety and well being of their employees and I feel like I can make a difference every day. Like every place there are challenges, but I feel like there is a general willingness to work on those as a team. I had a baby in my second year, and my boss supported me to the fullest to work from home for several months. 

Its funny i was employed as a c operator for a year. No talk of moving me to a b operator. All the sudden there going to hire off the streets a b operator. Hmmmm. Depending what crew you are on. You wont get help from the b operator. Some not all a operators will not help with things they can help with. They will sit in the control rm on there phone when c operator is swamped loading reactors trying to stage the following cooks. The list goes on.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Coworkers are friendly and helpful

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
A lot of current upheaval and downturn recently, rough reorganization, chaotic atmosphere, don't listen to the people doing the actual work, poor management

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Chaotic, a lot of upheaval and changes in the last 6 months, a lot of turn over with new people, constantly changing, management first

The plant that I worked in was so disorganized and according to my coworkers the plant itself was in dire need of mechanical upgrades. Even the staging area for reactors was all done manually. At one point we worked 21 days in a row. 4 days off. and 17 days in a row. Mind you they were 12hr shifts and sometimes when there wasn't anyone to relieve you they wanted you to stay another 2hrs longer.
