I was hired on to learn one position, but most of my time, i was always in a different department instead. i spent most of my time in the other department rather than the one i was actually hired on for.
i received no training in my actual position. my supervisor would just send me to the other side because i guess he didnt know what to do with me. Im the type of worker that is willing to do any and everything so long as you show me and train me to do so.
However instead my boss would have me stand around with no instruction to do anything. Nor was i able to do anything more, like use the computer programs to set up the machines we used, due to lack of training. One week, he was so lost that me and 2 other coworkers had absolutely Zero work to do, and id still get complaints that im not a working man, when in fact, he never had me do anything in the first place. It eventually just seemed like he was just out to get me whenever i was actually under his supervision, rather than me actually trying to do more.

Many of the coworkers all agreed that he is always in a bad mood, and is "just like that", to which i dont know why he was out to get me, when i always agreed to do just about whatever i was told around the workplace

It was 2nd shift 10 hour shifts mon-thurs, with 3 day weekends and mandatory overtime. Inside was very noisy, dusty, disorganized, and fast paced. we were required to wear ear plugs, safety glasses, and steel toe boots. Typical day was running boards through various machines to produce anywhere from 50 to 100 finished tables a day. I learned an overall factory or warehouse flow and safety. I also learned basic CNC knowledge. Management was very unrealistic and wasn't on the same page as the workers. The co workers were all basically around my age and a pleasure to work with, great guys. The hardest part of the job was having to deal with glitch or faulty programs and machines breaking down everyday and that slowed down productivity which would reflect badly on me. The best part of the job was the co workers and the 3 day weekends.

Work from 3:30 to 2:00 on a machine called the roll press where we would take a blank core roughly the size of the order, glue the core with the use of the machine, and press a backer and laminate to the core. Then we would send the core through the roll press using pressure and heat to cure the glue to the laminate and backer. After the core was pressed we would stack the core in order of what was required for the particular order and store until the other departments were ready for the order. At the end of the night, I would also clean and stop the machines until first shift arrived the next day. I would also help train any new employees operating the roll press and maintain the machine and troubleshoot and/ or fix any problems with the roll press.

This job is fast paced, friendly coworkers. requires heavily lifting and paying attention what you're doing while operating machinery. The hardest part of the job is producing a lot of top while maintaining the quality of the company standards. Most enjoyable is completing your deadline for tops that has to be done by a certain date.

I have spent really great time at BayView. for more than 5 years I got a lot of experience as well as great friends and unfortunately because of COVID-19 economy situation, our employer decided to permanently laid off their employees and i was one of them. That's why I am trying to find best work opportunity and hopefully I can find it soon

I have worked with Bay View for about 13 years.  I originally started out on the production floor and overtime moved to a supervisory role.  Bay View has giving me multiple opportunities for growth as well as assisted in developing my education so that I can better support the company.

If your tying to support a family, this job will not cut it. You get overtime, but you also get weeks where you get less than 40hrs.. so it evens out in the end. No real advancement.

Always pushed to get job done. No matter what. Not always giving proper tools to do the task. Hiring temp after temp, quantity not quality. No real training. Just throw you in see what happens.

An typical day for me at Bayview industrial was fast paced and busy for the first 4 hours when starting my shift, then after brake things being to slow down at a moderate pace.

I really enjoyed working for Bay View. I was given a multitude of opportunities and am very grateful for everything they had to offer. Although some of my tasks were difficult at times, I really enjoyed the challenge. The people are wonderful and the culture was very relaxed.
