As a maintenance guy you won't received too much training on the machines you will working on. You get that as you go around and do maintenance which make things a little harder when you are in a production environment. The place I used to work, if you are bilingual, is a good thing. Is mostly an bilingual environment. Sometimes there are not that many mechanics but they want things fix fast and while you are trying to troubleshoot, you get a call on the radio for other things. Sometimes the supervisors don't verify the status of the machines before they start calling maintenance. That creates an unnecessary extra work and running around. The maintenance book use for troubleshooting are not appropriate for maintenance most of the time. You will rely more on other mechanics experience on situations to create a way on information network which help you in the troubleshooting process. Operators training on the use of the machines can be improve too.

Lunch breaks can be taken if you have a good day or if there are any extra mechanics available that day. If you get busy the way I was, good luck with that. As many production type of environment, you may be call back to work if machines are really breaking bad. The work environment and relationship between coworkers can be improve. I noticed a lot of division even in the maintenance section. it's not a good thing for a good working environment. During summer time it will be hot outside and even worse inside, so you have to get use to that and because the heat most machines will start giving you problems. Most of the operations are set in a automated system which is the reason why summer time machines break more often. High temperature and computers don't get along.
When it comes to pay I will say the pay is good for all the stress and problems you have to put up with.

Although corporate was awful, the all around feel of our plant was strong in moral. I was taught by one of the best in the business. I furthered my knowledge with Angelica in more ways than I knew I could. I gained a strong knowledge of electrical there. I gained an even bigger love for my skill and trade. Before long i was able to trouble shoot issues most guys couldn't, and was 1 of 3 guys that were sent out to our plant in Boston to help them with repairs there engineers were having trouble fixing. Both of my Chief Engineers thought, and spoke very highly of me. I always welcomed the challenge, and even put in 70 hour weeks when they needed some one to be there. I took classes, as well as passed the state written, and oral exam to obtain a 2nd class firemen's license, as required by Mass state law to operate a boiler. Despite the constant stress at work, there was always an enjoyment that made excited and happy to get up and go in every morning! We were the 3rd lagest money making, and plant production plant in the country (Boston being #1, and a plant in California being #2). We were the only plant that ran 12 hour shifts, and ran for a good year without a plant manager.

Unbelievably unpleasant/negative work environment. 

The oppressive heat during summer is magnified by the dryers that run all day. Swamp coolers instead of an AC system, so you're subjected to hot air being blown around instead of cool air.

Machines constantly jam or completely break down, yet you're still expected to make your quota. 

Extremely high turnover rate, had 5 people quit in one weekend. 

80% of the workers on the production floor speak little to no English.

Managers were everything from forgetful to downright rude.

Your schedule is subject to change at a moments notice, and you sometimes won't know until you get there that your start time was changed.

Conditions were frighteningly unsanitary. Regularly encountered heavily soiled linen that had already been through the washing machines, and other kinds of medical waste in bins of lined that was supposed to have been laundered(Used gauze, IV bags, syringes, etc...)

Pay is low, especially considering what you have to endure throughout the day.

As I said in the summary, I would only suggest applying here if you're desperate, or if you can get a cushy office job.

I worked here two years and was treated lousy by everyone. The work is easy  but the old machines keep breaking down. The lazy mechanics don’t want to help and have no clue how to fix them.  Management is a joke. They never encourage an employee or say good work or anything. Just bossy and with an attitude. It is very negative to work there and slot of the employees tattle and talk about everyone. It’s Like a high school. A lot of favoritism there. If you don’t kiss the supervisors behind you work more and harder. A lot of the clothes is not washed well and sometimes left wet for days and then put to go on the trucks to the hospital. The leafs are a joke they don’t respect you and yell at you. The supervisor for the morning was a thief, backstabbed, lier and always gossiping. If they don’t like someone who defends themselves everyone in the plant will make it possible to have you laid off or fired. The pay is low and bad benefits. They need to shut this place down it’s disgusting like the people.

This company does not care at all about there employees you go to work have no idea what time youre getting off !!!! My off days and work hours have changed 3 times and ive only been there 6 months !! You work in horrible conditions !! The fire alarm went off and we didnt know what to do so everybody just ran we didnt know any of the emergency exits ! The managers talk very crazy to uo cussing etc.!! I have witnessed alot of the employees highly intoxicated several times its just over all been one of the absolute WORSE jobs ive ever had !! When i went for my interview i was told about all the opportunites with the company and,i havent seen any at all !

A typical day at work would be to sit at my desk open my email and answer any pending requests by our CRM's or customers as well as answer the phone. 
I enjoy my job very much because I am very familiarized with all of my coworkers and that makes it much easier for us to communicate and help each other out. We are like family and all get along and work as a team.
The hardest and sometimes stressful part of my job is when a customer has a request and it is not fulfilled even when I double check to see that it is and the next day they might call me saying I still haven't received my sheets.
Customers always come first and its frustrating when I am not able to resolve their issues right away, but I've learned how to handle such situations and also to calm down angry customers.

This is the most unprofessional group of people I've ever worked with. Upper management is blatantly prejudiced. Instead of training new employees,  they sit you down in your cube, show you to log in, and tell you get to work, but come see me if you have any questions. If You make Any SORT of mistakes,  you will get threatened with suspensions or termination,  but only if they don't like you. They don't pay well at all. Customers are always calling with complaints about quality and poor customer service. Management is very set in their ways, with a "we've always done things this way" mentality. You're hardly allowed to get up and go the restroom without complaints. If you do start working @ angelica, you will quickly regret it. Save your self the trouble and look elsewhere.

Would work rotating 12 hour shifts with NO break. Was not trained so I learned everything on my own. A typical day at work would be going in at 530, babysitting the boiler til 230am, shutting down boiler. waiting til PSI was lower then would blow down boiler. From 245am to 430am i would help mechanics on the production floor doing daily tasks such as greasing gears, cleaning machines, making drive belts for motors, etc. at 430am i filled 3 chemical buckets. at 5am i would go back and start up the boiler, take water samples and test low water cut off. I would then blow down gauge glass and water column. leave at 6am and come back at 6pm.
The best part of the job was getting paid on Friday.

This was by far the worst company I've ever worked at. They have people in management that don't or pretend not to know how to speak English. The one's in management that you can understand are very mean and unprofessional. It was a very hostile environment to work in. None of the employees get along. Needless to say I did not stay long. After one lady was scolded so bad for checking her insulin pump, which is literally keeping her alive, and two people on the other side about to have a fist fight over pillow cases, I ran away from that crazy place. 

The pay is very low for the work that is being done. You would seriously think you would get paid more than the door greeter at the superstore you shop if you have to sort through items covered and drenched in feces, urine, and blood.

Unprofessional job I ever had , the employees are soo petty and childish , it was nothing but full of gossip there they employees literally will talk down on you to everyone. They spread gossip it’s like middle school there all over again. It was soo hot in there I almost pass out they hardly let me. if you take more then 4 mins in the restroom it’s already too long for them even if you barely walking there and the restroom so nasty and the maintenance lady so rude also she always giving attitude and saying disrespect things and all the employees soo racist to each other. They always talk down to one other. It’s a sad toxic job I ever had. And the pay rate wasn’t enough for all the hard work I’ve done and put up with.
