DAP Global Inc.

Working for dap was quite the experience. Low work life balance (depending on position). Final overtime notices usually came last minute on Fridays. Common lack of production work in the colder seasons. Working in Maintenance was a great opportunity starting out. Very nice team members, however the budget was LOW. Upper management seemed to not understand the value of PM systems and there was a lot of equipment that needed full rebuilds. Most Maintenance calls were Operator Error. Now outside the department was a different story. Operations was an absolute mess. Getting yelled/ cussed at has happened numerous times on the production floor. Bringing concerns to Production Supervisors never really got anywhere. Safety is another big issue. Most machinery is lacking Guarding/ Interlocking. Chemical Vapors is also an issue. There is a lot of shady stuff that goes on and don't ask too many questions.

The tasks associated with the job are not awful, but upper management/shift supervisors don't know what is going on 90% of the time, operators are constantly run out of basic materials, such as tape, date tags, cylinders, boxes, etc, etc. For the added stresses these bring, the job is not worth the full benefits and measly starting pay. There was a raise promised after 60 days, and I didn't receive it, even after bringing it up to upper management multiple times. 

Advancement in the company is next to impossible. This is easily the hardest company to move up for that I have worked for

The work environment on the floor can be toxic, harassment is, seemingly, tolerated and overlooked by management.

We started our mornings out getting our order forms , started up the machinery , grabbed boxes , containers all other materials we may need for the day and begin filling and packing containers 
I learned how to run 5 different machines 
Management did not look out for their employees , it was all about the company , I felt that should have been more balanced they lost a lot of hard working people 
My co-workers were a bunch of jokesters , which made for a fun day they were all great people 
The hardest part of my job was lifting 130lb sand bags , when I weighed in at 122 lbs 
The most enjoyable part of my job would have been breaking production records that were set by my co-workers who were all men and didn't think I could do it

Over worked, underpaid, understaffed, mandatory overtime, no bonuses, unprofessional environment. If you want to work in a place that is like high school, filled with drama, this is the place for you. Dont expect to get paid well for all the impossible quotas that have been set though. And if you get sick, just know that you wont have a job. Its temp to hire only. So for almost a year you dont get a single sick day. It takes 4-6 months to get hired and another 3 months before any pto. If you are ever 3 minutes late you might as well not go in at all. They count it as a missed day. The rules are ridiculous but if you suck up to managers, like buying them food and gifts, then you can do whatever you want. 

If you work at Dap you know you’re going to walk into a mess every time you walk in it! And not because it’s dirty but because management is so weak. 
The plant manager and the Operations manager think the plant should run itself. Because they don’t do anything to make sure the plant is ran right!
The training is terrible! They need to change their requirements because they have them set too high, and think they should be met with no training. 
I would say if I actually had decent training I would still have a job, but they fire people that are not their friend. And they don’t work with with anyone! 

It's not the worst place on earth to work. However, there are a lot better jobs out there where you will have more opportunity for advancement. The management at this company is a mess. The job is dirty and physical. The pay isn't worth the effort. This is not a place to work if you are interested in being the best you can be.

Those things being stated. If you're just looking for a job where you come in, work hard, and then leave, this is the place for you. Don't expect anything spectacular from this place and you won't be disappointed.

I learned that you must work super hard to meet company demands, while trying to work with competitive coworkers at the same time. Management is good at their job; if they can help, they try to make sure everyone is able to do their jobs in comfortable conditions. The hardest part of the day would be mostly in the summer when its  hot. The most enjoyable part of the day would be if you worked a machine that you've been trained on and working alone. A typical day at work would be cleaning up a mess left by the previous shift workers.

A typical day was to have a morning huddle of which area and machine you were to work on.  Then do a safety inspection of  equipment before we start work and assure we had the right product on line.

I learned to run several machines for different products.
the management was well organized, knowledgable and professional.  They taught safety first and foremost.

The hardest part was change over from one product to another.

the most enjoyable part of the job was we learned something all the time.  We always had service meeting on the new ways of doing things.
