This place was a decent place to work at before 2020. Management was a whirl wind of constant change, which meant constant change for their employees to try to work through and get used to. It's gone down hill. I would not recommend anyone to work here. There is constant OT which follows through with it becoming mandatory if you don't volunteer first. A lot of the workers with actual experience at the SLC plant have either left or been terminated. You call in sick, that is 1 point. No call no show is 2. Vacation was stressful to ask for, coverage was hardly a thing. Shifts could be super short staffed and Management would still want you to run everything. Like any other place, you are overworked. An RPS could be auditing and packing out a line on their own, or they can be running up to 5 to 6 lines by themselves with no help and no thanks or employee appreciation. It's a good job if you're a workaholic. They always need people, Temps and hire ons are always in and out no matter what. They expect you to go above and beyond with little to no rec and reward. They can be fair, but that really depends. If you want work experience, this is probably a good place to start, but you can probably bet that you'll be packing 2 lines by yourself depending on what machines are running, staffing, etc. You won't learn anything if you don't ask the right questions. Some of the people who are still working here are great, not a lot of them left though. Maintenance crew is mostly excellent, same with the quality management. Warehouse workers were super hardworking and chill when I left. I hope that place has gotten better, for the people there and the future employees.

This company needs PEOPLE!! so bad they hired me without even seeing me and only after a few easyily answered questions... this was a red flag to begin with but the worst part was the position i was hired for was QA-Auditor and It was explained to me to be a QA position where I would come by and inspect product on the lines and do tests like any other Production QA position would be. However when I showed up for the orientation I find out the job is more along the lines of a Production-Line position where you would be standing on the line the entire shift and would have to do the grunt work when someone needs to take their break and also I was told I would simply have to do the grunt work for 2 weeks while they waited on someone who could train me on my actual position.... that in and of itself was enough to make me want to walk out but unfortunately more bad news came every 10 minutes I sat in the orientation.... you only get a 20 minute lunch for starters, you are absolutely required to sign up for mandatory days even though every other week you are already doing 1 day of overtime doing 4 12 hour shifts. right from the start of the orientation you could tell all the BS they try to tell you to distract you from the horrible stuff they are about to tell you. The attendance policy is a joke. I would only bother applying here if all you need is money and you need it fast!! if you are looking for a career then I would definitely look elsewhere. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at CSI Kilgore is the coworkers.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part is the poor and inconsistent management, along with a problematic HR department that fails to support employees and does not keep sensitive employee issues confidential, creating an environment where people feel unprotected and unheard.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment and culture are stressful and poorly managed, with negative management practices, low morale, and an HR department that is unsupportive and fails to maintain confidentiality, creating an atmosphere where employees do not feel heard or protected.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day at Closure Systems International involved managing the MasterControl and Infinity systems, performing internal and warehouse audits, updating and organizing quality documents and SOPs, collaborating with engineers on technical revisions, providing quality and food‑safety training, and maintaining the overall Quality Management System to ensure compliance.

I have worked here 3 different times in about five different departments.  The job actually got better  each higher Department I went into.  Things that you would be fired for in the lower departments are almost expected of you in the upper ones. The place is extremely cliquey too.  Management will pile enough stuff on you to where you cannot hardly get the basic job of making the bottle caps (closures) done.  Some jobs follow standardized working so management can come audit you at any given MINUTE.  I always said when I was in the management that people come to factories because they are not college educated or motivated and now you're going to bombard them with more responsibility and brain work than two people normally have anywhere else.  The truth is it doesn't take a whole lot to run a machine that spits out plastic bottle caps so they have to fill the rest of the 12 hours with a bunch of dumb stuff.  The company prides itself on their rip-off of the Toyota business system which they call ABS, it focuses on waste management but the people there take it to such a dumb extreme that they actually create the waist they're trying to eliminate.

i was excited to start working at this place, until i was working there i did have great work ethic before i started working there, over time it showed that this place does not care about hard working people, they would rather keep people who do not care about the product they were making or the customers and are only there for a paycheck. i spent 4 years working my hardest, not making problems for people and actually doing my work for what? just to be put down as non rehire-able. they brought back people who have been arrested on site, people who have assaulted other coworkers  and hire people who cause an hostile work environment. this plant in salt lake has terrible management and digging it further in the ground by getting rid of their best workers because of the production managers personal vendetta towards people who dare to suggest great ideas for the plant and its workers. its a great place if you want something temporary this plant is the worst one out of all the csi plants, the only one that hasn't expanded because of poor quality product overall due to terrible workers/ management.

I have been with this company through many changes, the current change in management is making a positive impact on culture.  The typical day is a mix of hectic and calm.  We deal with a fast paced manufacturing process, which involves being knowledgeable of the processes and understanding of the people.  I work the floor and interact with not only the people but also the processes and management.  I enjoy what my job entails, from my team to management.  Our culture is changing for the better.  The hardest part is the 12 hour shift.  Recently management started a monday-thursday shift and a friday-sunday shift, this has been beneficial for attracting new people. 

Lousy management. “4 on 4 off is 100% not true. I worked an extra mandatory day every single week. I can count on my hands the times I actually got 4 days off. I worked there nearly two years and the plant manager never so much as even waved at me. I was given a 5 day notice that I had to go to permanent night shift work to “fill need” when there were plenty of employees with less time in than me. The place is FULL of gossip and back stabbing. I’ve had managers talk behind other employee backs TO ME. Everyone there is miserable and management is literally running the place into the ground. I’ll be amazed if CSI is still here in a year or two. If it’s last resort, go for it. If there are any other job opportunities, go for those. 

Got offered multiple job opportunities that got shut down-not enough capable people to train me or corporate says no,people are high all the time and not wanting to do their job. Management is lazy! Horrible ethics! No concern for employees and bad I mean bad communication! Hr says 1 thing your plant manager say another. HR is made for employees but they don’t understand that. This company sucks and I should have listened to people before excepting the job and wasting my time with them. No time off. They chase away their good employees while smiling as they do it.

Each and everyday were always different. Completed any task needed to be accomplished. Learned that plastics manufacturing is extremely intense and has many many ups and downs. Kaizens and Improvement activities were an everyday affair. Management wanted to know any possible solution to problems or efficency of the molding processes. Total number of employees were below 250 including management. Thus being said, co-workers were very sociable and out-going. Ensuring that co-workers that i fulfilled all job duties associated were completed was the hardest. I always managed to complete these tasks no matter the sacrifices i had to make. I enjoyed material changes and PM's the most.
