Cavallero-Plastics,-Inc

What is the best part of working at the company?
Absolutely nothing. 8 hour shifts and no worries of being asked to work overtime 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Most disorganized company I have ever worked for in my 22 years of manufacturing, 13 years of my experience is in a managerial positions. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company does not care about anyone. They are stuck in the 80s with their process and all their documentation is done on paper, from work instructions toQuality Assurance to the tracking of KPI’s and keeping track of order completion. Sorry for the run on sentence. As someone who was hired to be change agent and bring structure to some of the shifts. I quickly learned how the management looked down on the people who work on the floor, they asked unreasonable expectations and would speak down to floor personnel as if they were no one to anyone. I quickly realized that I was in the most toxic workplace I’ve ever been in. They don’t teach anyone what to do because they do not have any SOPs in anything the do and no direction was given. People are worried to ask for help because they would be talked down to. It’s honestly the saddest thing I’ve seen in a work place. Every osha violation you can imagine and when I brought up my safety concerns they would say they have done it like that forever or it wasn’t worth the time to correct it. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Run around in 100+ degrees in the summer and try to keep up with all the work they have you doing due to them cutting positions to save money.

Seeing that the position is open for the third time this year I figure I'll talk about my time with the company. My experience onboarding with this company was frustrating due to a lack of organization and communication. Orientation felt unprofessional due to pressley's overall demeanor and opinion of his employees, and the training process did not provide clear expectations or adequate guidance. After starting in my department, I felt there was very little structure, and I was expected to learn primarily through trial and error without clear direction on processes or management responsibilities.
Additionally, the role I was performing did not align with what had been described during my interview, which was disappointing. Basic setup and access were not ready when I started, which made it difficult to perform my job effectively. In some cases, I was completing transactions under another employee’s credentials, which raised concerns for me regarding proper inventory management practices.
I also had concerns about scheduling and break expectations. I was under the impression that arriving at the scheduled start time could result in a shortened lunch period, which I found frustrating and concerning.
Overall, my experience was marked by poor onboarding, lack of communication, and unclear expectations, which made it difficult to succeed in the role.
I would recommend going just about anywhere else for work especially for the money they offer. 

I still shudder when I think back to my days working at Cavallero Plastics. It was without a doubt the worst job I've ever had, and I'm thankful I was able to escape that toxic environment.

The management there was an absolute nightmare. The supervisors ruled the factory floor with an iron fist, showing no empathy or understanding for the workers. They would regularly reprimand or even fire people for the most minor infractions, regardless of the circumstances. Requests for better safety equipment, more breaks, or even just a raise were routinely denied.
The work itself was backbreaking. I spent my days hunched over hot, sharp plastic components, my hands cracked and blistered from the constant handling. The air was thick with the acrid stench of melting plastic, burning my eyes and throat. The relentless noise of the machinery thundering all around made it impossible to hear yourself think.

And the pay? Laughable. I was barely scraping by on the meager wages they provided, which felt like an insult given the demanding physical labor and poor working conditions. I often had to pick up overtime just to make ends meet.
Cavallero Plastics was a living heck. The combination of terrible management, backbreaking labor, and low pay made it a soul-crushing experience that I'm still recovering from. I'm so grateful to have escaped that place and found a job that actually values its employees. Trust me, you don't want to end up working at Cavallero Plastics.

CPi is a wonderful place to work. I have only been here for a few months, and I have already learned so much about the injection molding process. I have been actively given training material to look over as well as encouraged to do research on my own. I never knew how much went into making something as simple as plastic parts. It has really made me realize how much I have taken it for granted in the past.

If you're looking for a great, family owned and operated business to work for, Cavallero Plastics, Inc. is where it is at!

The work place is so disorganized they got 2 floor guys running around clearing  parts from machines that don’t get looked at because they don’t have time  and the smell of burning plastic is horrible  they only give you a 20 min lunch break with 2. 10min breaks not long enough to even heat ur food up  the manager are not friendly and quick to blame you for any mistakes that happen I would say worst job I ever had and the health insurance and dental is bad you pay a lot of money for garbage 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The other workers were easy to work with 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The pay is bad, benefits are not that good

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Bad vibes, bad attitude by supervisor,
Older guy’s working there stuck in their ways

Working the same machine all shift, doing the same process over and over. Easy to learn and find a flow to work. Disappointed they have no differentials in pay.

Complete mismanagement in every sense of the word. Disorganized chaos everywhere you turn. If you like structure and order this isn’t a place for you.
