Very complex work enviroment, 14 - 16 hour days working most weekends. Managment working to achieve same results while changing a 20+ year work culture. Multiple certificates achieved from various organizations.

Typical work day comprises of 6:30am arrival to review all daily quality records of production. Issue stock blocks for any non conforming issues, that could create issues during the customers ownership. Review of each item running on machines to ensure all dimensionals of container are being produced within specification and all SOP/TOP's were achieved.

Ensure Lab maintans daily checks.

Monitor SOP/TOP's throughout facility.

Organize, plan and achieve audits with the highest results possible.

Too much to list. 
Poor management, giving untrained unprofessional people management duties. People who have no training in proper management. Such as, diversity, compassion, manners, respect, etc.
Managers leave a LOT to be desired. 
Someone is under the desk for sure. 
Union does not go to bat for the employees.
Manager sit around and gossip about their employees with other employees, and pick favorites.
Other employees who are favored are allowed to wander around the plant, not have to help others.
Managers turn their heads the other way and make examples of someone they don't like. Such as, not helping certain ones they don't like when a lehr backs up. Actually telling other employees to NOT help their co workers. Giving undesirable jobs to someone they don't like. Lying on paperwork and making extra work for ones they don't care for and waiting for a reason to fire you.Management cusses and yells at employees. 
Lines back up and hot end workers come out to see why, mangers look away. 
Hot end gets major bonuses and cold end does not. Very unfair.

7 day rotations. Never time for home life. You see alot of peoples relationships end. You do 3 shifts that are 7 days each with 1,2 and 3 days off between only having off 1 weekend a month off. The time off you do get is spent doing everything normal people do through the week crammed into a short period of time. The pay is good but that's always their excuse for you having to take on multiple people's roles as the wont keep the company staff correctly. To many bosses, with it being union it's a companies union. Union does not fight for what the people want but will pass something the company wants without informing anyone in the union that is not on the board. They have no care for family situations unless it's a death. If they allow you overtime, it has to be 4 or 8 extra hours no other options. They have a ridicules points system that doesnt matter if you're part of the "in-group". Buddy system to the fullest extreme. 
The only reason I still work there is because the pay is hard to find. They use that against you all the time. 

Long days usually. Lots of things going on. Had alot of job changes and keeping schedules up to date. Lots of planning for next day. Or even days ahead. Usually worked a 10 to 12 hour day. Maybe longer if you had a major breakdown. Would stay till we got it fixed ever how long it took.
Learned about how to plan things coming up down the road lots of times several weeks ahead. Learned how to deal with people. Been thru alot of management classes and several schools pertaining to our buniness.
Co workers we got along good. We had to get along well in order to keep things running smoothly. Lots of things to keep up with and had to pull your own weight and help each other.
Hardest part of job was keeping up with everything going on.
The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing every thing running smoothly after you were done.

This company has great pay and benefits to offer. The work schedule is a bit challenging for those that aren't use to working rotational seven day work weeks. If you can handle that then you will be fine. The management team I feel needs a little more stability. There is definitely a high turnover rate for supervisors, and no one hourly will do it. They are simply scared of getting fired. This is due to the fact of simply not enough training given to them. Anchor has been around for years, but really needs a lot of maintenance updates within the company. For the Warner Robins area this is pretty much the best place to work as far as compensation goes. Hope this really helps!!!

This place lacking training and professionalism. Depending on who is training one can not understand what they are saying. No PTO until after one year then get forty hours. The equipment is outdated and old. Only a handful of nice people was told to ask questions but get a dirty look. This place likes to throw new employees to the wolves with little to no training and likes to yell at the new hires. No work life balance seven straight days on with only three to two days off. If you have a family I wouldn’t apply. High turnover rate place is like the blind leading the blind. Also during the summer it’s going to be hot!!!

a typical day at work consisted of clocking in getting my tools , greeting my fellow worker's with a smile saying hello, going to my duty station checking my assigned equipment to be sure they are running properly. I put forth an effort to be more efficient in getting the job done. I found for the most part management to be fair when one is honest and willing to work for the pay.I find it easy to get along with and enjoy being with my coworkers. The hardest part of the job is having to put up with people who like to put their work off on others. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing at the end of the day I have given my best to the company.

Management is very unorganized. Swing shift isn’t that fun if you aren’t used to working 7 days on and 2 off, co-workers only complain and don’t do their job. Management always bows down to seniority, so people who’ve been here long are all stuck up. Constantly understaffed and make you skip breaks when they run short. The only thing worth it is the money but it isn’t worth the trouble they put you through. I’ve also seen multiple people get fired for having family issues, due to the fact they won’t let you call off for family emergency. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Unattainable expectations. They lure you in with promises and then expect you to improve within 2 months 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Long hours for no reason and nobody can meet their expectations. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is all about working what the production superintendent expects you too. They don’t want to hear your opinions. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
10 to 12 hours daily for no real reason

What is the best part of working at the company?
money, that's about it, bad manangement from the top down. maintenance doens't keep things running well.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
toxic, the only job where i have to friends, by choice.

dealing with subpar equipment. temporary fixes that turn permanent. "that's just how it run" management will say!
