My experience started off well no real issues even was promised a promotion and substantial raise.  So was hopeful that this was gonna end up being a long term job/career.  Unfortunately due to a copious amount of issues it was not. The initial training is great but when i comes to more advanced things with specific machines was often inconsistently taught or you got tasked with teaching yourself to do it with little insight or resources to do so. Essentially became understood to me that production numbers took precedent over properly/thoroughly training. Also   dealt with retaliatory and contradictory actions from management, as well unfair favoritism/treatment and cant forget being chewed out or belittled on the floor to a degree that not only would it be embarrassing as well blown out of proportion. Then there's the issue of being forced or occasionally asked but usually not given an option to do tasks out of job position and without proper tools to efficiently/correctly resolve an issue with either no benefit to you or become the scapegoat. Was also promised a raise plus promotion 6months later had a meeting with management agreed on date for it to be enacted 10 months later when i was terminated 30 min after handing in essentially a 3 week notice trying to due the right thing on my end never actually received the promotion got a .50 raise for my yearly the only raise ever received in little over 2 years. Cherry on top was I had to train new hires with equal or less experience to myself started at 2 dollars an hour more than i was at after 2 years there. Very discouraging environment with no reasons to stay. Not to mention when terminated HR wasn't present nor was offered to have them present, also any attempted contact with them went unanswered. I may have not been the best or perfect employee but always helped or learned when able, plus life happens and certain things come first. Save your self  stress and aggravation and dont fall for the smoke show that they try and sell  

My job to clean everyday outside and inside of machine to keep documented requirements that were needed eventually or right away as working with top mechanics will give off the hint the machines ready to give out and from where you get to experience as machines did break down especially the ones that were ran constantly without maintenance care they usually broke down as maintenance was key I thought but making money is mostly politically correct than moral of the workers. Which made things political and if you joke around which was always fine just make sure your analyzing your co-workers you don't know these folks are trying look good too so if you work hard and are told to slow down just do it cause no manager will help you or have your back like the person telling you as you will receive no bonus as upper management does. They do not train cause there is no extra pay or incentive to do so so good luck in doing whatever you can to stay there and for safety as they will go over safety requirements and give you corrective Personal Protective gear you will need more working on hot machines you will get burnt as another might break down or another machine might spew of oil, not all employees are going to be able to help and are not required to help sticking to job title though if your working hard they will expect you to help mechanics that are needed with work related experience for moral of the company is political and unfair if your different meaning don't give anyone a reason to discredit you cause they will.

Don't, you'll be sold one thing and then be handed three jobs.  Please read the reviews before considering this employer.

Turnover is incredibly high from operator jobs through all facets of management, most colleagues I worked in proximity to had been told a series of lies and half truths just to get them to accept a position or string them along in a current position. Meanwhile people were often looked over for in facility promotions for no apparent reason.

Four times while I was there holiday pay was just forgotten untill someone who was familiar with the situation spoke up.  

Training is adequate in only the most superficial sense, pandering to loosest legal interpretations.

Even though I did work with good and well meaning people, the overall culture is manifest in faux niceness and hostility, people are underpaid and often times overworked leading to a multitude of innane process issues and breakdown of cooperation between departments.

So if you want to work somewhere which is hostile, will overwork you, brow beat you with managers who don't understand your job, or the trade because they've never done it, be promised a consistent supply of lies and misdirection, be provided an inadequate amount of training, a minimal amount of support and an unhealthy amount of gaslighting this might be the job for you.


Was hired to be a machine operator packer job.Told I was going to be trained.First off I was pulled off several times during my training to fill spots they could have hired temproray help to do.Then they have me running 7 machines at once and pack on them.Way more then a newcomer should be taken on until they have more experience.Next then they want you to help other people when your already overloaded yourself with work.You have to deal with a painful company meeting every morning about how they need to improve quality.Hello! Stop giving operators so many machines and hire more people and train them right.If operators had a reasonable amount of machines then operators would have more time to look at the quality that is going in the box.Far has im concern the place is going downhill fast.They offer health insurance but they pay you so low that your never to be able to afford it.Stay Away from this place like the plague.

Comar is a privately held company that doesn't consider people with education and achievements. They will tell you, "what the company culture is like, and then tell you,  you're not a fit when you turn around the operations." 

We were told to change the culture but with no direction, and no weekly or bi-weekly meetings to course correct. They hire mediocre employees with no mechanical experience. 

The molds are terrible, beat up, and beyond repair. They expect you to band-aid and remedy the situation while they have horrible quality complaints which don't get resolved.

It is a buddy buddy system, that has a "consultant for a plant manager, which doesn't necessarily understand the culture and travels in weekly.

Save your time and look else where for a quality company, that invests in quality, people, and a worthwhile future.

I'm sure someone in HR with little breadth and knowledge of the HR function will gladly respond and say sorry for your experiences.

Not the worst place in the world to work, also not the best either. There’s no real opportunity for advancement anywhere within the company. Training is virtually non existent. The pay is fair if you’re a new hire. If you’ve been with the company for any extended period of time, you’re not appreciated. There’s always work to do at Comar, especially with quality. No one really cares about doing a good job for Comar anymore. But maybe you can come change that culture. 

A typical day at work was on the machines or packaging. I learned a lot about the glass packaging and machinery. The management, themselves, were not very good with their employees. They assign employees to new areas without direction, or guidance. They fired me after placing me in a new area. They have done the same to multiple employees. This experience and what they have told new employers has made getting a job very difficult for myself and past employees.

It start a day with a meeting with supervisor to notify any changes and up date any information. I filled paperwork with every machine number and work orders. I verify everything mach with work orders, like material, cavities,materials, ect. Get samples to do SPC at the Computer. Set up Gages ,started doing my measurement. Packing and continuing same process .with every one o

They are very inconsistent in following their policies.   Poor vacation time starting out,  unless you negotiate for more.  Employees are not treated equally.
