CDI Curbs

Worst part

-Insulation department is the most over worked department of them all following along with the loading/crate position and the most understaffed, with the worst turn over rate worse then amazon. 

-micromanaged every 5 min of the day and never happy for as much work you push out the door everyday.

-all other departments will get praised for there target goal but insulation will always get told about not hitting goal even tho there the most understaffed area with barley 4 insulators and any new hire lasts 2 days

-any feedback about work conditions in insulation department will be taken as a insult or complaint which will lead to no solution 

-favoritism is all time high as to promoting/recognition 

-if you have a family while working here this will be ur forever home and will be visiting ur family instead 

-hours range from 12 to whenever they want. + saturday work 

-if you work mornings you will basically be morn-night shift with no relief 

 Best part

-the friends you make in ur deparment make it tollerable + music that is allowed while at work  

-2 paid 15min and 30 min break 

-free food every 3 million$ made for the companys goal 

-Going Home 

Advice,
*keep bathroom stocked atleast*

Management plays favorites with family members and those who suck up. They work you 12 hours a day and make promises of advancement only to pick someone who in part of the inner circle.  Summers are tough and you will never see your family, pay stinks for the type of work they expect you to do. Expectation is to bust your butt and look forward to maybe a $.50 raise unless you are part of the inner circle.   Place is dirty, machines are junk and no ventilation for welding smoke.  Get a union in there and things will improve dramatically for the employees but once you mention the word union, you are on your way out the door.  Run away and do not let them fill you with false hope and promises. Individuals running the plants are not given and decision making so there is no accountability with employees, some can miss a lot of time but as long as they give them 12 hours they are golden, if you are not willing to give them 12 hours a day, you are the outcast and the next thing you know, you are on the chopping block..

The good:

-It's a great company if you want overtime. You'll get all you want and they'll still beg you to take more on.

-There is a profit sharing program for those who can keep good attendance after being with the company for six months to a year.

-The health benefits are good, and you can pay out of pocket for them if you leave the job without having to deal with COBRA.

The bad:

-The shifts are 5 days a week, 10-13 hours long depending on needs at the time, and occasionally they will ask(demand) you come in on the weekend for a day as well. Peak season can see shop workers working 60-70 hours a week.

-There is NO work-life balance as a result of this. If you have family, you will never see them, and the unpredictability of the schedule from week to week will make it very hard to make plans and the turnover rate is extremely high from that.

-If you're single and there's a conflict when trying to schedule vacation or time off with someone who has a family, you're the one who will most likely be denied.

They'll smooth talk you into the job with promises that are all lies. Favoritism. Work you like a dog in the summer 80+hours. Then nothing in the winter. -15. Benefits are non existent and PTO is the worst I've ever seen. Been a while since I worked here but their PTO acquiring rate is POINT ZERO ONE AN HOUR. (.01 Per hour) that means to get one week off of work, oh I forgot mandatory 12s as long as they can do it's 60 to 72 hours (because oh yes you work weekends in the summer as well) means that in a 72 hour work week takes you 7200 hours of work time to get a week off. Do that math. Not to mention they pick favorites and if you aren't a desk monkey there (ie front office) you're worth nothing to this company unless you work there 5 years plus then you START to get any sort of credit. 5am to 5pm, 5 maybe 6 days a week. If you have a family don't plan on spending time with them. Got out as quickly as I could. Can't say enough about the way they run it here.

You come in and complete everything that comes your way. You get to learn many different jobs. Management are very good people. The culture is great. Great employees and truly one of the best places I've worked. Like everyone gets along and that's the truth. About 50 on day shift and you get to know everyone. Hardest part is just moving heavy stuff. Other than that. It's team oriented, everyone helps everyone. The people are the best part of my job. Like I said, everyone gets along, it's actually fun and we just smash numbers out all day. We hoot and holler and have fun while doing so.  It truly is one of the best places I've ever worked. They are hiring. You get lots of OT in the summer but the winter from November to April, the hours go to 18-25 a week max if your lucky.  It's a long wait but if you can save and hold out, it's worth it cause from April to November, you make bank. 55-65 hour work weeks. M-S, 6 days a week most of the time in the summer.  Lots of OT. 

I am a former employee at CDI and I don't ever plan on leaving this company.  I have grown up working here and I am forever great full for all of the opportunity and how much I have learned.  What you get with CDI is a group of hard working and dedicated employees.  We are a growing company that has been extremely successful and don't plan on putting on the breaks any time soon.  This success comes from the team we have and their dedication.  CDI recognizes our hard work and is very generous with our compensation.  A very generous portion of company profits also go to many different charities and donations.  Honestly, I haven't ever met two people that are so generous with their company and the profits they make.  I couldn't be happier and couldn't imagine not working for this wonderful company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Management is cool, co-workers are pretty cool to, the best part of working there though is that they always be feeding the employees.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trying to get there on time in the mornings because of the mandatory 12 hour shifts

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is real cool, there are not a lot of people that work there that are even in their 40's, so it has a real young positive feeling.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
For me i like to just dive right in and get things done. It's pretty fast paced and I love that.

I was hired as the bi-directional folder. Before I had interviewed, I was in a hiring process from another company that took their time. After starting for CDI, I was given the offer at the other company. I went to management and explained the situation and how the move was better for my family. That afternoon I was offered my current position because they value my work ethic. In today's world that is such a rarity. Along with that, they matched what I was offered from the other company. Find me another company that actually notices and develops talent in the work force nowadays. The company also tries their best to promote from within. I have found the company I will be retiring with. 

CDI believes and lives by its values. They do what they say and say what they do. The work is hard and not for everyone but the rewards are great for someone who wants more than just a job. You will get dirty, work 12 hour shifts at times sometimes 6 days or nights a week. The recognition and opportunities are there for someone who wants it. 2 of their plant managers started in general labor. You see people actually cross training and moving. High recommended to those who want to work hard and feel good about their quality and speed. This place will reward those who do.

Looking for a job where your schedule changes on a whim—5 hours on Monday, but suddenly you’re working Saturday? Want a company that doesn’t care if you see your family, lies to your face, and treats you poorly? One that reminds you daily that you’re replaceable? Then this is the place for you.

Expect regular meetings where you’re told you’re not good enough—not because of your work, but because they can’t keep quality employees, leaving you surrounded by people who don’t care. Oh, and you’ll be building about $15,000 worth of product a day while they throw you pennies. Sounds like a dream, right?
