Enjoyed working here at first, but my opinion slowly declined of this place. There are very few chances for advancement and the training at times can be sub-par. The hours that you are sometimes asked to work are very demanding and management does not seem to notice when you work these hours they ask. The fact that they like to run a lean operation (just enough to run through each day) means that attendance has to be near perfect unless you seem to know the right people. 
A very fast paced and mostly physically demanding job. The benefits are good, but dental and vision are not provided. The pay does not seem equal to the work and hours you are asked to do. Management says what you want to hear and rarely mean what they say when they care about the employees. Production and profit are what they seem to care most about and not the stress the employees have to endure to complete their daily production. I am overall displeased and glad I am out of there. I wish them much success in the future.

A typical day started with a meeting of the department heads for updates on production, raw material supplies, any problems with machines or people. We would go over new orders and whether we had the materials in stock to meet the customers needs timely.I was in charge of this meeting. Manager on my level (at the other sites) and upper management were great to work with. The culture in the plant was difficult at first because it was a union plant that was hostile towards management. They were very resistant to change and we were the worst plant overall in numbers of the 5 plants the company had in the US. Things had to change- I was able to turn things around for the our plant and make us competitive and improved all areas considered Key Performance Indicators for corporate. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting most of the union workers to buy into the changes to increase all of our numbers and made our plant respectable performance wise compared to our other plants.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I don't think there is one to be honest.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The machines are going faster than you and regardless of your actual experience, there's no learning curve whatsoever.  If parts hit the floor, they don't like it even if it's not really your fault for it cause again, you have no control over the speed at which the machine cranks it out.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Some of the people are alright, but I've had multiple people tell me that there's a lot of racists out there which is never good.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You get told where you're gonna be working and you go to work.  They start the line and you wait for parts to come to you as you put em on a pallet, then once it's two stacks high, you wheel it over and repeat the process.  The only time the machine is stopped is when the main operators go on break.  The people loading don't get that luxury.

It takes a special kind of person to work at CSC. It is a very demanding job, but the rewards of working there meet or exceed the demands of the job. CSC encourages a culture of continuous improvement in both product and employee training. The management teams at CSC are under a lot of pressure to keep the company competitive and meanwhile promote a culture of decent morale among the employees. 

The work at CSC is not difficult, just fast paced. It takes a lot out of you physically, but it is not a thankless job. Maintaining a consistent high level of energy is difficult, especially during the summer months when business really picks up. CSC has a very good workforce, I personally enjoyed just about every individual whom I worked with. CSC will always be family to me.

The most difficult part of the job is working out in the heat of the summer with TWO curing ovens inside the plant with only fans to move around the heat.  Long days can turn into LONG days with machine breakage and other issues that can pop up and day.  Plant manager has ZERO people skills and consistently offended me by his attitude.  He doesn't understand East Texas people and he puts an inordinate amount of emphasis on the wrong things as far my job was concerned.  I worked there over ten years and my so-called replacement lasted six weeks.  The corporate team however is first rate.  Never had any problems with folks at corporate.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Not a very friendly place to work.  They let other people abuse you like your .and do nothing about. Nothing is nice about this place 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything,  Pretty much lie to you to get you in the doors then change everything 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Crude, not friendly place, beware of this place,  they will lie to you just to put bodies on the floor 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long hard, constant attack of ridicule from the management and employees

Horrible organization. Run production, skip maintenance and then yell at employees when there are too many breakdowns. Executives scape goat employees, praising themselves for successes and again blaming employees for failures. The incentive program traps more of the long term employees, who expess they would leave but their retirement is too invested in the stock option plan. There isn't a long term employee who finds the job satisfactory.

Pay could be better but great benefits and end of year bonuses. Management tries to help you do the best you can if you show them you are trying and learning . Hours differ depending on volume of work but always try to get you your 40 hours. One production line so it is a fast paced environment very hot in summer seasons when production is the busiest. 

Typical day at work is customer service, order entry, inducting new business.  Most of what I have learned was from my company that was acquired.  The only thing that I have learned from this company the hard working, skilled workers with knowledge of the industry are not a valuable asset.  I always did my best to get along with everyone.  Saying goodbye to my customers that I have generated business relationships with is going to be hard to lose.

A lot is demanded of people that work there.  Not very happy employees.  Employee turn around is very high due to what is asked verses pay.  A lot of high motivated and stressed employees with low appreciation from corperate of company.  Plant managers seemed stressed and would be willing to get their hands dirty and help on work floor.  Overall good people to work for but dont expect to get anywhere fast here.
