I have been shocked for the longest time that this company’s ratings are so high, but I learned why a few months ago. The higher-ups have been going around pressuring people to go online and write good reviews about the company. Don’t believe what you read up here. Another big reason is that nobody cares about the bad management here. Employees try to address issues, but nothing is ever done about it, which really kills morale. Take it from someone who has been working here a long time-STAY AWAY.

There are definitely some great managers in this company, but the bad managers outweigh the good 5 to 1. It would be easier to list off the good managers, and a lot quicker. This company does not care about their employees whatsoever. Raises don’t exist here unless you are promoted. Doesn’t matter how hard you work or how much money you bring in for the company. If you’re not getting promoted into a new position then you’re not getting a raise. Plain and simple. This is very problematic because the pay, to begin with, is extremely low. Only work here if you REALLY need the money. Take a couple of extra weeks/months to find a better job. This company is not worth it. I honestly believe this is why there are so many terrible people in charge. All the good managers/employees go elsewhere to get paid what they deserve and don’t put up with this.

If you are fresh out of college and need some experience, this is the place for you. It’s fine to work here for a year or so to get some real world experience, but don’t hang out here much longer than that. You definitely don’t want to get stuck here. The turnover rate has grown immensely over the past year. Lately, people have been dropping like flies every other week. Five people are quitting this week. Five.

I was sewing on an industrial machine the huge 80 plus pound billboard covers. Every time these were moved around from process to process, it was a team of 2 carrying them. I was never told during the interview that whoever sews them has to refold them by yourself and pick up one end and drag them across the place 60 plus feet. Then when these are dropped off, they’re all out of order and thrown down on the floor in a huge pile. They expect you by yourself to sort through all this and do the oldest ones first. This means more moving of these heavy things around by yourself. You’re expected to do all this at a break neck speed. Everywhere you look there are people standing around talking, joking around, clearly with a lot of down time. They expect you to go do other work in a separate area cutting down banners, sewing, and grommeting. The person who trains you has been doing this over 20 years. They think you need to do everything exactly like her in 4 weeks. Very little input from management. I saw literally nobody in there expected to drag these around by themselves other than the person sewing. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Management is understanding. Lots of opportunities to learn other departments. Fair pay. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Occasional schedule changes and mandatory overtime, but also days with no work available depending upon order and load statues. Some physically laborious labor, but not more than anticipated for production work. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Management is understanding of factors surrounding life and operates as flexible as possible, however, time and attendance are incredibly important. Overall environment of management is good, other employees complain a lot but no more than other workplaces. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in, ground and man your station, rotating every 3.5 hours, work quickly and efficiently, do your job well, pay attention.

Almost completely automated but some how still very challenging for some. Which whom are related to some one so are untouchable. Which at first doesn't sound like a bad deal. Until you are responsible in some far fetched way for there lack luster of their career path. Line this up with that and the machine will do the rest. Then hundreds or even thousands of products later. "Opps!" shouldn't be an except able answer from a person weekly who has been in same position for years. So the extra dynamic of us vs them vs them? is very hard to get around. Hi turn around on the younger temps based on these same instances which are being blamed on them. But steady work in you fit in and really if you were Hispanic job for life no where career but steady.

fast paced
standing alot 
friendly people 
hardest part of job was not set up real good to be efficient
being able to be team player and get help when needed or asking for someone to help while you run to bathroom
most of the staff super friendly and fun to work with different cultures for sure 
i loved making a difference in lives of helping make peoples lifetime memories come to life on canvas it was alot of fun alot of hussle but  dedication is worth it for working there... 
it was a temp position very short term job

I damaged my wrist by mistake of my own. You'll have to expect getting small injuries constantly since you're assembling canvases which deals with canvas and wood and tools such as a staple gun, stretch master, hammers, and the strapper machine for boxes. Last I knew it was 15 an hour and when I left they had switched to an 8 hr shift 5 days a week but it didn't use to be. It can change. Most everyone there is very friendly but high turnover and you'll be involved in training others without being paid for it. It's a rare occasion for a promote from within and depending on which side you work depends on which management type you get. I could complain about things but since my current job, Circle seems like the lesser evil so to speak

Thought everything was good with this company, but don't know what to think now interview went well I thought. The interviewer told me that the Onboarding team would be calling me to start the hiring process didn't hear anything waited 4 days, then sent a message to the interviewer saying that I was just checking in and that I had not heard from the Onboarding team. I asked if they had decided to go with a different candidate and if that was the case just to let me me know, it's been 2 weeks and no response not anything,  If I wasn't qualified or selected fine but to say onboarding was going to call and to the ghost a candidate show serious management red flags 

Management is extremely uncooperative and will not understand any outside family obligations. Pay rate is poor and dont expect to utilize any creative talent in your day to day responsibilities. If you have children, dont expect management to understand responsibilities that interfere with your family life. This is the most unbalanced Job Work/Life I've ever been employed for. Team leads spend most of their day looking for trends and bad habits rather than focusing on productivity.

12 hr shifts, 3 days working w/ 2 days off the 1st week, then 2 days working w/ 3 days off the 2nd week. Then the cycle repeats. Tough on feet & back. I got on-boarded through a temp agency and was let go after a couple weeks. This company has a high turnover rate, but seems to let people go and onboard more people. You get paid weekly which was nice. I worked 36.5 hours one week and 48.5 the next week. The overtime was nice. Overall not one of My favorite jobs I’ve ever had. 

This is a company that will teach you something new everyday. Excellent management that is not only fair and helpful. But are equipped with the ability to feel they're employees out and determine the best position to fit each and every employee under they're command. Best thing is, every position pays well, and they offer great benefits. Lastly I would say this is one of few companies that notice and reward hard work. Definitely a company that will actually have you looking forward to going to work everyday.
