I worked there for a few years and the job was not difficult but they treat you like a machine. You are expected to work far to much overtime with absolutely no time to recover.  Management creates problems that make peoples jobs ten times more difficult and creates more downtime and the only thing they do about it is schedule even more overtime. On top of that they consistantly wait until they are so understaffed that they can barely keep the lines they have running before they even try to hire anyone, and try to add even more lines that they dont have people to run. The pay isnt terrible if you feel like working 80 forced hours a week. I stopped showing up for my forced 12s because i didnt feel like working myself to death for what i was being paid and when they finally called me into HR to fire me they tried to give me a last chance agreement, and i told them dont even bother unless they would give me a big raise in pay or schedule me less overtime. They said that they couldnt do it and offered me a temp position with less pay and lose all my seniority so i told them to just fire me. No point in working for a company that overworks and underpays you, that doesnt appreciate its employees and creates a toxic workplace because everyones tired and angry all the time, a company that ignores problems and makes it harder on everyone working there just because they are trying to save a few cents on materials or to cheap and lazy to fix their equipment properly. I HIGHLY RECOMEND STAYING AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY IF YOU WANT ANY SORT OF LIFE OUTSIDE OF BEING ONE OF THEIR MACHINES!!!

There is no positive here. 500 degree ovens constantly going, poor ventilation, hot glue used on almost everything. Then we get to the OT practices... HR and those you interact with through the orientation process don't tell you exactly how it works. You have to sign up for daily OT (either 4 hours before or after the normal shift) a week in advance. If you don't have the seniority to get what you sign up for, you're susceptible to be "drafted" for daily OT you don't want or can't do. If you do not reach 16 hours of daily OT you can be drafted to work the weekend. HERES THE KICKER, say you only get 1 day of daily OT, they can force you to work Saturday then tell you what half of the day you have to come in Sunday to work. Then there's the "suicides" where you're drafted to stay over one day then go in early the next, leaving you off the clock for exactly 8 hours. This is all part of the UNIONs rules, I saw so many people fired for straight up not being able to make it for their OT. What's worse is that all of the high seniority workers abuse their vacation time, allowing them to avoid ALL required OT.

This place is okay if you need money and can turn your brain off. Management is horrible and doesn't care about any of the employees. Regardless of how long you have worked there or how well you perform tasks, you are expendable. Promotions are only for yes men and childhood friends. If you work hard it pays off with more work that others won't do. Supervisors and team leaders have no clue how to operate any of the machinery. Management can leave and return to work whenever they like but if an hourly employee even walks to their car on lunch break they are fired. If you do the bare minimum you will be fine, if you work hard you are expected to do more than the rest. No more pay and not even a thank you. The work schedule is Monday through Friday unless management changes their mind last minute (as usual) and makes the weekend mandatory. Also you support a communist county because the profit from here makes way back to China.

At first, I was thrilled to start a job in my field, but the excitement faded quickly. I was left with little training, high expectations, and no real support. What stood out most was the stark divide between the upbeat, activity-filled corporate environment and the tense atmosphere among production workers. While the corporate side enjoyed various morale-boosting events, the production team seemed resentful and disconnected from the office staff. The tension was noticeable every time I walked through the plant. In the end, my position was cut due to budget decisions, and facing unemployment was even harder than working in a role with no direction.

Showed up to an on-site interview only to have to wait 15 minutes past my scheduled time.
Sat down for 2 minutes before I was told the job listing was nothing like the actual job. When I applied the listing said 8 hour shifts with the possibility of overtime. When I got there they told me it was mandatory 12 hour shifts, 7 days a week. Being a single dad that just isn’t doable. So I wasted an hour of my time and a quarter tank of gas when their reps could have easily informed me of any schedule changes involved with the job. Normally I’d let things like this slide but they contacted me nearly every day via text for a week to verify I was still coming to the interview. They could’ve easily told me about the schedule changes but they withheld that info just to get me in the door. 
I can’t speak for how the actual work place is because it never made it that far. But if it’s anything like their communication skills it’s probably not great.

What is the best part of working at the company?
People were generally nice to work with

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
A lot of benefits provided we’re slowly removed, when asking for promotion or to move roles no support provided, having worked nearly a decade only ever received inflationary pay rises though performance reviews were always highly scored. That said, there were select few that did have a chance to move around in Finance, whilst I was in IT

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I was part of the spin off when Auria was formed in 2018-2020 and it had frankly become very toxic so I left in 2020. I joined the organisation (pre spin off) in 2011 so spent 9 years collectively

nonstop chaos as soon as the shift starts because of the language barrier and employees not doing their job and following job instructions and safety rules and housekeeping rules or good housekeeping preventing accidents

management can be stressful at times, I enjoyed being around most of the people I worked with, I made friends real easily, job is easy itself, pay was great, I got fired though because I had a dr note I had to be in the hospital with my child as he was unable to breathe without oxygen, he had a 6 day hospital stay and it was required by the hospital that a parent be there the whole time. Attendance policy is generally 7 days and you're fired but I had 2 days I had to take off prior to this hospital stay. Its very hot in the summertime but they're good about bringing out electrolyte Popsicles and drinks as needed if the humidity level reaches a certain point along with a high temperature inside the building. I was paid weekly also.

This is a 1-star company at best. There is almost no management support and absolutely zero work-life balance. Vacation requests are nearly always denied, making PTO essentially useless. Management and office staff deliberately avoid interaction with floor workers, treating us as if we are beneath them. Expect to work 6 days a week nearly every week with no real chance of advancement—hardworking employees are overlooked in favor of outside hires, usually friends or family of office staff with no plant experience.

Worse, when corporate or high-level visitors come through, management openly instructs employees to lie about conditions in the plant, with subtle threats that jobs could be at risk if we don’t play along. This culture of dishonesty, favoritism, and exploitation makes it an extremely toxic and demoralizing place to work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing is good about this company
