Bryce Corporation

I worked here for 4 years...somehow and I don't recommend it unless you really need to pay off bills, have no family, and no social life.

The forced night shift, stupid swing shift, and silly amounts of overtime aside management is terrible. There is zero accountability to actually do your job and those of us who did ended up picking up the slack of the rest of the employees in one way or another daily. 

Hr is a nightmare and there is no consideration for night-shift in any way. They have no idea how to do their jobs and routinely screw things up leaving you no ability to fix them.

The points system is absolutely draconian, and with the rest of company policies makes this feel like working in a prison. They have full control of your time unless you put in one of your 6 vacation days(office staff get 10) but you have to put those in more than 21 days in advance.  Then you will work every holiday you don't get vacation put in for(if you can) besides maybe Christmas although it seemed close a couple of years.

Beyond all of these negatives the jobs themselves are quite easy which is why they attract lazy people. This was the easiest job both physically and mentally I have ever had and it payed well for the area.

the typical work day is to come in and set up the machines for the jobs that they're going to run for that day. Not as easy as it sounds...if the shift prior to yours decides to slack you're going to have a terrible day..materials are not in ANY kind of organized order so you must walk to visually find each individual film..then you must navigate the overcrowded dock area or the dangerously crowded print area to pull out what you need all the while the machine operators (4 machines) are calling for materials sometimes simultaneously. Oh not to mention you're responsible for loading the finished goods truck and making sure the (7) slitter machines have what they need. Good luck taking a break or a lunch, you're non stop for 12 hours..you literally are expected to be in 5 places at one time. So to recap...1 material handler servicing 4 laminator machines and 7 slitter machines..the odds are definetly not in your favor.

If you are in need of a job that lets you pay the bills, go for it.  Starting pay is a little on the low end, but you will get overtime that is required.   
 They did give raises often during your first year to bump your pay up.
Management from the past when I worked there in late 90's, was a buddy system.  You were in the click or you just weren't.
My biggest gripe was the lack of any break.  You were suppose to be allowed 30 minutes, but no one was ever sitting down in the lunch room because if you were gone for more than 5 minutes, it was frowned on.  So you get a lunch break, but you don't if you know what I mean.  Your best bet if you wanted to keep your job was to go to the vending machine once a night, get a bag of chips, bring it back to your work area, and scarf down as fast as you can while not letting your work get behind.

Spent years at this company because of the pay for the area. Which is the only thing going for Bryce. Managers are put into place based on friend status and most are incompetent at their job. They want everyone to be productive in an intimating work environment that’s created by their bullying and “you’re lucky we let you work here” tone. The HR department is useless. They will literally sit in their office and not answer the phone or door and if you do get ahold of one of them they never have an answer for your problem, just a number you can call to figure it out yourself. With the poor treatment of the workers, a very strict point system and them firing people for petty things, the turnover rate is very high and creates too much overtime with empty promises year after year that it will get better.

Most Hourly employees have 12 hour rotation shifts ...2 days on 2 days off 3 days on.Then opposite the next week which includes a three day weekend every other week. Basically you work 7 months of the year. Management is a 5 day work week and on call after hours. The hard part for hourly is covering vacation.You might have to work 7 or 9, 12 hour days in a row. 
Breaks are short and with in state guide lines .You get paid while on break. Work 12 hour shift get 12 hours of pay.
Its true that you cant leave for lunch there are vending machines that have  food break room is cleaned twice a day. Food delivery is acceptable and allowed.
It's Clean and temperature controlled In the manufacturing area's most companies are not.
Insurance is a 80/20 plan. i would call it adequate for the cost.
Overall I cant complain.

Overall
My experience working at Bryce Corporation one I'll never forget they have always been there since my start.

If you're a single person with no life, no family, nothing else to do but work, but want to make decent money, this is the place for you. It's 12 hour shifts, no leaving at all those 12 hours. Starting out on the bottom, you'll be expected to work 7pm-7am, until you switch jobs, retire, die, or a day shift person kicks the bucket, gets canned, or retires. Higher ups could care less for employees, only money. Work every other weekend, work holidays (which the company can't make up their mind whether to shut down or not...you never know if you're working Christmas or Thanksgiving or not) 

I think this company only cares about production and it doesn't care about the people.
They have a layoff recently, when they said that everyone was safe and it wouldn't be no layoffs,then a few weeks later they start to layoff people,they kicked me from the position that I applied for and put me on another position,whit out asking me or let me know, but sometimes they make me work in both machines because they don't have nobody in my shift to run the machine. I feel discriminated because they kicked me of my position but I still have to run the machine, and then go back to the other machine it's like they only use me when they want.

Since new management, they have transformed into a better company. By no means is it a perfect company but as whole they are constantly trying to improve. As a new employee you will probably start out on night shift, but in time with seniority you can move to days. standard shift is 12 hours on a rotation schedule. 36/48. Great benefits, opportunity to make good money with the extra OT available. Stable company that isnt going anywhere. Food packaging will be around forever.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The money and the coworkers but not the managers 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Doing a job just like management told me to and they yelled at me because it wouldn’t work so I would do it the right way 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Coworker we’re great most wood have your back culture is the company is the best and you are stupid 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Go in fix everything that was broken down as fast as you can and try not to get yelled at because the last shift could not fix it
