American Plastics, LLC

Worked here for about 1 1/2 years.

The company expects you to overwork yourself in order to meet their quota and at the end of the year the send everything out to make their numbers look better and than speed everything up regardless of how many employees the shift has. I worked nights and had pretty much been short handed for over a year mainly because the company can't keep an HR person hired and also they overwork new-hires straight out of the gate instead of easing them in and so people usually don't last longer than 1 shift.

Company works in a sense that they want Quantity and Quality but work employees too fast too achieve quality.

I worked material and the presses suck material so fast that it's so hard to take a break, let alone a lunch, especially when the other material Handler doesn't show up to work and I would get a very miniscule amount of help. All this while making the same amount of a press Operator only to work 10x harder and most of the time work without a single break or lunch(as stated above).

I do not recommend this place, from my experience.

The hiring processes is terrible. You go in for an “interview” but a supervisor takes you on a tour of the place and asks you if you want the job. This sounds great until you realize that it’s done to everyone who comes to the interview. The supervisors can’t choose who they want to work for them because there is no actual interview and this causes a lot of bad workers to come in. Because of this, the training (especially on c shift) is very absent. Most workers are expected to work by themselves by the 2nd day or the training associate will constantly step back and not provide any help to the new employees. This has caused many good workers to leave within the first week.
Management is very bad. New rules every day that conflict with the ability to work and it’s obvious that they make these rule changes without testing them out. On top of this, if a shift is understaffed, that shift is forced to still work the same machines as the previous shift. This means you will have to work up to 3 machines at a time. On a 12 hour shift, it becomes extremely exhausting.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It always flew by.   Unless I din't feel good...  But I loved it

First you had to dress according to the weather. No air in the summer and no heat in the winter. I went in got assigned my position for the day.
I learned all the different positions and was good at them.
Management noticed my take initiative attitude and my being able to multitask and have an eye for details.
A lot of us co-workers were all there for several years so we bragged a little of our accomplishments amongst ourselves.
The hardest part was relocating for the company to LA. moving so far from my family.
The most enjoyable was knowing that that company had enough trust in me and knew I could accomplish the jobs and be successful.

I worked with 1 other forklift operator 12 he. Shifts on nights. My "co-worker" would show up, work for 1/2 hr. til the dayshift  took off, then he'd  take off, 
 Wouldn't have been so bad but I had just started and was still learning the company's ways. 
Once I got it down they ran him off and I worked the production to warehouse line by myself for the last 2 months I was working there.  All in all I liked the job, the upper management ( one particular guy) had it in for me, so it seemed. And it got old.

The people . And the time off . I love that I only work 15 days a month .
