The environment is extremely toxic. Extremely hot in summer time and extremely cold in winter You’re walking around on dirty floor with glue and oil spills. Dust covering the air and hard to breathe. We don’t clean the machines so everything is really dirty the glue troughs have mold in them. The bulk tanks and day tanks for the glue have mold. Tail seal and tack smell like sewage. I don’t know how we put out any product at all. 
The culture is just as bad. As someone else said you need to be in the right group. If you can remember that and get into that group then you’re good. With no knowledge, with making multiple mistakes they’ll cover you. The production people the forklift people and even the maintenance people are all really good people and I really enjoy working with them. The work is not hard I hit a start button and change out raw materials every few hrs. The culture and environment is what is hard. 

From the moment I started working there something seemed up. When you are hired in the first two weeks is nothing but learning in a classroom but the catch is that the manuals are poorly translated from Italian! They give you a copy of all of it and expect you to make sense of the gibberish and hope for the best out on the floor. Not only that any time something is wrong with the machine or you stop for any reason at all they make you document everything in a maintenance form that they don't even read. The machines are pretty much as worn down as possible and dirty. They set up a process of doing a weekly/biweekly cleaning but only acted upon it twice. Overall most of the people who work there are good people, just a lot of bad management/training processes.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Achieving production goals as a team

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being set up to fail. Management expecting unreasonable targets to be achieved with horrible, unreliable equipment. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful. Being held accountable for things you have no control over. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Multiple changeovers. Equipment breakdowns, unreasonable expectations.

The company has potential but with the incompetent managers, unskilled operators and unskilled maintenance workers you are left running in circles going nowhere fast. The turnover rate is extremely high. People walkout from the verbal abuse from frustrated managers and unfair job task put on them from coworkers.

There's a lot of favoritism in this company. If you are not in the right click within the company your going to be stuck! The management team is there but they will not take the responsibility needed to properly maintain a good level of service. One day the lead will put up good numbers but the next day you may not do that well but you are expected to. 

Starting with the plant manager and going higher is horrible. The company as a whole cares nothing about its employees. They will treat you like trash and throw you away. Lower management actually cares, but they are forcing all the good people out. If you get a chance to work here run far far away!!!

to starting with ATI.  Thank you for the opportunity.  I'm excited to meet the new team and checkin out the warehouse.  I know of couple employees there are already and seem to be happy with ATI.  The schedules are insane, but won't matter if the work keeps you crazy busy.  I'll post how it goes at a later date.

p.s.
Stoked about the gym. :)

The managers/lead doesn’t possess any kind of leadership skills they have just been there the longest. You literally have to beg to be trained! They act nice in orientation and order pizza but after that they act like they don’t know you 

There are people trying to make this a better place to work.Not the perfect workplace but a 3 day weekend every other week is nice. 12 hour days on the days you do work. Changes are taking place to make pay better as well.
