Job Work/Life Balance: Other than a few weekends of forced overtime November-December, it is regular 8 hour shift work.

Compensation/Benefits: Pay is good for industry but benefits are par at best.

Job Security/Advancement: Job Security is a 5 star as long you show up to work, but advancement in production areas is near non-existent.

Management: Upper management is both over controlling and blind, will not listen or try and ideas that could/would result in raising production/lowering waste. If they have an idea, it is not tested just implemented and if damaging to company in any way they seem to blind to see it and remove it. (That could show they were not right). Mid-management has no control, they could see/have good idea but no power to implement either. (Most mind boggling since affects profits)

Job Culture: Most negative place ever worked, like cancer to my soul, but enabling me to go to college and provide for family.

On a typical day, we produce high-end catalogues for our clients. From the initial consult to mailing product out the door. Managment has been recently changed over to a new regime, and seems to be trying hard to do right by its employees.

Many of the asspcoates are nearing retirement, and it would seem replacements for their skill-set are far and few between. However, they do have an apprenticeship program offered to those willing and able.

The hardest part of the job is getting information at the last minute, and then being under the gun to get the job out the door on time.

The end result is the most enjoyable part of the job...seeing from start to finish gives a sense of accomplishment. Working with a diverse group of people is good as well because everyones take or perspective is slightly different, so you're able to have a broader sense  of communication at times helping to understand something better from the other persons point of view.

Its factory work on a floor with no climate control. I was offered another position doing customer service and did them a courtesy of a two week notice, even stretched out so it was two weeks and 3 days, they said i no longer needed to come in the day after i submitted my two week notice...
Depending on where you are assigned depends on if you get any instruction at all if any. Breaks are regulated to be done at the same time every day, only thing to look forward to was breaks and going home. Said the provide safety glasses, gloves and ear plugs but was never given or show how to use the machine that provides them. I can not recommend working here, since hours are not guaranteed, you may work 20 you may work 12 depends on the jobs, floor supervisors are just butt kissing the admin and HR staff. No climate control floor hot/cold depending on season. High turnover rate of employees due to lack of employee growth just wants bodies to do a job

A typical day at work rite now is my co-worker and  installing ink pipe and copper tubing for a new piece of equipment. On top of that we are taking break down calls and keeping up on our pm work. I have learned quite a bit about building maintenance, because that is our responsibility as-well. I have rebuilt booster pumps. Worked on  chill towers, paper shredding equipment, compressors. Management at this company is not good. There is minimal communication and  poor planning at times. Very discouraging!  My coworkers are very good men for the most part. Very easy to get along with. The hardest part of my job i would say is just the physical part of it. We do allot of lifting. I would say the most enjoyable part of the job is the diversity. I,m big on fabricating, and we get to do allot of it!

While I have not been with Arandell for very long, I already feel like I have been a part of this amazing team for years! They extend each new employee an extremely warm welcome and make you feel right at home almost immediately. 

The environment is equal parts relaxed and productive. There is definitely no shortage of work to be done, but you will find most employees have a smile on their face as they work through any issues they may be experiencing with a client or other problem.

Pay is very competitive compared to similar organizations in the area, but benefits are far and above what I have experienced in previous positions. Through my first several months, I really could not recommend this company any more.

I enjoy the people I work directly with and can honestly say I enjoy the position I am in now. Depends on who your boss is but that’s just like any other job. We get holiday paid time off and benefits aren’t too bad. HR/Upper Management has no idea what employees or even some departments do which makes it hard to understand how they can run a company they don’t know about? Complaints get brushed off and feel like your not being heard. Also new employees pass you up in pay which might explain why we don’t keep employees too long. I’ve had to fight for every raise I got as it’s not always a yearly thing. Besides management and hr it’s a pretty good job. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Awesome place, I'm enjoying my new position.
I'm also loving the hrs I work. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The pay is great, and the people I work with is awesome. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great environment,it's very diversities, every one gets along 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day for me would be very busy,and learning more and more as the days go by.

Don’t even think about going there . Awful place to work for . Company , management in all departments , Hr  staff just the worst. Arandell only wants to make money for themselves  on your cost . They will use you and abuse you and when  they are done with you they will want to fire you and they will hire new person for less money . Not to mention everyone is new there so no one knows what they are doing.
They are trying to be like Quad graphics which doesn’t work for them very well. 
Don’t waste your time and your emotional and physical health . 

This role would be more of an internship role. You will do a lot of running around and scanning and printing papers for others compared to actual they said you will do. Management is ok. They say it’s open door but doesn’t like when you speak up. Hardest part about the job is that it’s very disorganized. There’s too much going on at one. Enjoyable part is meeting others. 

No Match on 401K. A failing pension through union. Poor management. Fails to take responsibility. Lots of finger pointing instead. Not interested in change. Missed the boat on technology and automation. Layoffs in spring yearly.
