Daily tasks consisted of compiling daily production reports, tracking hourly employee attendance, sorting incomming and outgoing mail, greeting plant guests and providing safety equipment, answering multi-line phone system and checking general voicemail, ordering office and breakroom supplies, comparing payroll and benefits pay registers with recent changes to employee information and conducting audits to ensure employee elections are accurate, processing benefit changes for hourly employees based on life changes and requests (401K and tax contributions), providing information to employees regarding benefits, coordinating bereavement arrangements when needed. Management was a supportive and knowledgeable team that collaborated with HR and supervisors in many aspects of daily functions. Co-workers were well-versed in their individual talents and were willing to coordinate whenever necessary. The hardest part of the job primarily consisted of disecting the various Summary Plan Descriptions for Union Hourly employees to ensure accurate understanding of coverages. The most enjoyable part of the job consisted of working directly with employees to ensure that they have a correct understanding of both plant policies and procedures, benefits coverages and terms, and being able to increase my personal knowledge base of HR best practice implementations and procedures.

A typical day work starts with a 5-10 minute meeting where they share with everyone the scrap goals being reached and the ones to be worked on, as well as what machines are most likely to have issues and what ones are shutdown. Afterwards filling out some forms for your machine for the day on it's current settings and then you  turn on the press. Pretty much just putting parts that form properly into racks or boxes, and getting a supervisor to fix the machine when you notice poor quality from there. You document what amount of good parts get made as well as any scrapped cycles of poor quality parts. 
Not really any socializing on the job due to the volume of the machines, so if you're introverted/quiet and looking for something where you work more independently I would recommend atlas. Very relaxed workplace culture, just make sure you have your safety glasses and earplugs and your good to go.
The hardest part of the job for me is getting used to switching machines, they all function the same for the most part, but the way you pack the parts changes for each one. The most enjoyable part would be that you can play music the whole shift.

I have been in the "EPS Business" for 13-1/2 years. 3 with Atlas. I am a legacy ACH Foam employee. When Atlas purchased ACH, we were all apprehensive and scared of the change, but Atlas Management treated us all like family and brought us into the umbrella of Atlas business holdings and I have received the utmost respect and opportunities that one could imagine from the merger. I have enjoyed the relationships I have built with all of my co-workers and managers.. Honestly I can't imagine working anywhere else. This is a company that gives you the tools to learn and succeed. The benefits afforded to you are as good as any company out there and opportunities for advancement are there for those who work hard and strive to succeed and understand that promotions are not given, they are earned and you must be willing to earn it. You can take your career as far as you want to go as long as you are willing to work hard, learn, and have fun with a great team of people. Every day I strive to help our customers in any way that I can and I know I always have a great group of co-workers and managers who have my back. I strongly recommend Atlas Molded Products to anyone who wants a career and not just a job.

You'll encounter great coworkers through this company, but thats ultimately the best feature of this job. Management encourages workers to report on each other if they believe that they're doing something wrong or not as well as they could. Management even offers incentives to encourage you to report on your fellow workers. There is a very clear divide between the managment and the regular workforce here and it ultimately results in a work environment that wears through many people. Benefits are good, but the chance of being hired onto the company at your quoted time frame is slim. I've seen good workers leave after months of great production because the company would not advance with hiring them. On the other hand, I've seen people bypass the 90-day process altogether and be hired within a week due to nepotism. Overall, this is a toxic work environment that will consume most all of your time through their constant needs for more and more production, ultimately quelling weeks of unrest from the workers through the use of free pizza, donuts, or candy bags. 

A typical day consisted of packing Styrofoam into boxes, placing on pallets, running from one end of the building to the other and loading material into trailer. Their was new management that took over in 2022 that was very poor. Workers did whatever they pleased, taking extra smoke breaks, leaving periodically during work hours. Very hostile co workers, some would do things purposefully to cause others displeasure, and one wrote an absurd comment on the board at the meeting area. They did scrape from the bottom of the Barrel for employees, so that is what you would expect for your co workers. Management was afraid of making someone mad, so they would not say anything, or they would look into it they said. No advancement. Lots of overtime some times when customers ordered more. (certain time of year) Very hot in the summer months- No A/C. The smoke coming from the wires on the machine when cutting the Styrofoam could not be good for you to breathe. It was very hard dealing with the people you worked with on a daily basis. The best part of job was leaving at end of day. So glad I was able to quit this job. 

A typical day at Atlas can be very busy in shipping with multiple tasks needing attention.  It is fast paced work with plenty of opportunity to learn all aspects of the shipping/receiving end of a production plant.  However, at Atlas, the upper management staff proved to be extremely childlike and unprofessional in their treatment and management of their employees.  Their ability to problem solve employee issues are well below sub-standard with no regard to truth or fairness.  Their focus is far from concern or appreciation for the company employees but more on corporate politics. The hardest part of the job was lack of effective training and dealing with unprofessional upper management political behavior.  The most enjoyable part of the job was building a strong working bond with the employees whom I managed in shipping.

When I applied with this company I told my wife that I would take the job depending on how I felt during the interview, if I was offered the job. From my first interactions with management everyone was professional and friendly. The interview was well planned and all of my questions were answered before it was over. I was offered the job and knew that there was no way I could say no, and this meant leaving the company where I was currently employed at with lots of security. Since starting the onboarding process was second to none. All responsibilities were made clear and there has been plenty of appreciation shown. This is a large company that maintains a feeling of being small and being family. This was the best decision of my life and would definitely recommend this job to all interested!

I actually really enjoyed my time there, some of the people made it more difficult for me to enjoy it though. People are kind of cliquey because of the high turnover rate, but most of the people were friendly and easy to get along and work with. Days were kind of long sometimes because of poor scheduling and the other girl on my line didn’t do what she was supposed to be doing. The building I was in wasn’t air conditioned or heated, so it was hot in the summer. Winter wasn’t bad since our machines run hot, but summer was very sweaty. The break room was heated and air conditioned, and management set up a break schedule for when it got over a certain degree in the building so that people weren’t overworked.

Either you are working 7 days a week or 3 days a week. There isn’t really any inbetween, Due to management not planning out their work loads. The entry level position of utility operator is a very over worked position. The work load balance relies mainly on the utility man. Benefits and money usually are good, but that’s about it. Could use way better management. With the Covid-19 pandemic it took them a month and a half before they issued us any hand sanitizer or protective equipment such as masks. They also preach that safety is a top priority to them. But when you point things out to your safety tech and months later nothing is done that’s an issue. But if you can handle the over bearing work and not having a life atlas is the place for you! 

Working with Atlas Roofing has taught me alot of things. When i began working for this company i had no prior experience, even so i was still able to grow within the knowlege of the field. The experience allowed me to be exposed to different challenges that allowed me to grow and become more flexible when encountering difficulties that came along with the job. The management and employees are experienced and easy to work with. Although working with this company was enriching and a learning experience, it also exposed me to extreme weather conditions that soon became the most difficult part of the job. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to travel along with learning to work independently.
