Deceuninck North America

Not really a bad job as far as the work requirements are concerned but the turnover has been so high that the workforce is in a constant state of incompetence. To be a productive member of the team takes time and training as it is a high learning curve position. It is more of an art than a science and only with time and desire will an employee truly be able to contribute. The atmosphere has degraded to a large degree in recent months partly due to attempts to reduce turnover. Starting wages have been increased with no commensurate pay raises for senior team members and there is now an inexperienced work force that is overpaid and lacks incentive to grow their skill set because there is little difference between the starting wage and that of veteran employees. This has led to an environment where the bulk of the responsibility falls on the few employees who are capable and the remaining employees are not motivated to contribute because there is little accountability or motivation to do so. It is by far the most undisciplined work force I have ever been associated with. The parent company is based in Belgium and I don't feel that there is any passion in the management team here due to the lack of anyone with a vested interest in the company.

Good people and bad work is hard a lot of comprehension and understanding of material and tools and takes quite a while to really understand what's going on in what you need to do was there 3 years learned a lot met a lot of really actually cool and good people just throughout the time of me being there they had a lot of good and bad come through but once you get a certain time in it can be something really good but if they don't take to you you'll definitely know I had days where I kick my feet up and got easy jobs and days were literally my next day for work I was limping from the demand of stuff that they had put me on but all in all it can be a great place the 401K was awesome my managers I had all really cared for me on a personal level but not everyone can expect to have that for them starting off everyone is going to be different they won't consider hiring me now but I still know a lot of good people that are there and still think the world of those people but not everything there is perfect but if you are willing to truly learn it put the time in and go through them tough and hard days and sometimes embarrassing times you can learn almost a good trade and they will do what they can to take care of you

I have been with this company for over three years, and unfortunately, the work environment has declined significantly during that time. Management has become increasingly disorganized, and communication is often lacking. Despite having multiple HR representatives present at all times, the production floor remains consistently understaffed due to a high turnover rate.

Job expectations frequently shift without clear communication, resulting in employees being reprimanded for not adhering to newly introduced procedures they were never informed of. For individuals with FMLA or other medical needs, it's crucial to stay extremely proactive, as support from the on-site nurse appears limited. In several serious medical emergencies I've witnessed, response times were delayed, raising concerns about the nurse’s qualifications beyond basic tasks.

The overall work environment is stressful, and I’ve seen several coworkers experience heightened anxiety, with some seeking medical treatment due to the conditions here. While I wish I could recommend a specific department or team within the company that offers a healthier workplace culture, my honest advice would be to consider other opportunities. Once I am able to transition into a new role elsewhere, I fully intend to do so.

Before the new Hr team this company was great. Paid time off, sick days, some holidays off and holiday pay. Overtime was always available but rarely forced. Was an easy going environment for 12 hour shifts, rotating schedules . 
Now since we have the new Hr, the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing and they have completely messed over the production workers . 
They’ve taken pto days and time. As in we use to be able to put in for 8 hours instead of full 12s. Now we have to put in full 12 hours of pto so we get less time. Rarely getting holidays off now, but for the same holiday pay. No more sick days , no person days. Took two holiday pays days to use them as “floating holidays” 
Overtime is now being forced even for people who typically volunteer for overtime, making the floor workers highly drained and run down . 
The company went from a family , and decent environment . To a HR versus the floor and a prison environment. I do not see them getting very far within the next few years as all the workers who have experience are slowly leaving and the HR refuses to bring back old workers. 
Again, do not go there. Unless it’s a 6 month or less plan to get you by. 

Prepare to stay active, be a part of a team, and build respect for yourself for doing more than you think can. This company will not let you be a passive employee without making a negative name for yourself. Since no respectable person wants that, consider yourself lucky to land a job here where you will set obtainable goals, learn something new everyday, and have opportunity to promote from within. Sometimes the management of different crew rotations can become troubled and test your perseverance, but if you do not allow that to distract you from minding your personal business and always concentrating on doing your job, the sky is the limit for your personal growth and development.

This place does not care about their employees, and don’t even try to act like they do lol. Management is a joke. Never once even had a conversation with the “manager” . The system is setup to hold you back. If you have any children or just normal responsibilities outside of work, you will never advance. It’s setup that way. You get pointed for anytime that you have to miss work. Period. Whether you have a dr’s note or not. I worked 60 hrs a week for 5 months straight  because nobody else would. and was never once told thank you or we appreciate you. They also expect you to breathe in cancer causing chemicals with zero protection. No respirator nothing. When I started there were 2 guys that were out of work for extended periods because of cancer. flimsy little Covid mask is all you are given. DO NOT WORK HERE 

Deceuninck North America is an Extrusion Molding Window company, working here allowed me to learn the fundamentals towards operating computer based machinery while refining products to a desired quality specification. I enjoyed learning about new adjustments towards achieving a quality product from their experienced troubleshooting team and team leaders.

After working in production and troubleshooting, I moved into a position that involved setting up the lines for future jobs. The most enjoyable part of the job was disassembling the Extrusion Machinery to change over to a new product.

There was a very familiar face to face experience with management on a daily basis. Our floor supervisor always wore a bright smile, and worked with employees one on one, which provided a great working environment.

The job itself is not bad at all, if you have good work ethic you can move up pretty quick, if not you will basically stay a packer. Pay and benefits are good. The leads and supervisors are decent people, my biggest complaint is the company needs better management and better H.R. collaboration with the employees, honestly it seems like they try to avoid and work against people on the floor. They are both so disconnected from what is actually happening on the floor that all their decisions for the company are poor. The company is good but it's ran not as effective as it could be. It's an absolute shame to see.

It's an easy place to work of you know how to work. I started as an extrusion operator an worked massive overtime and made lots of money. I did that for a year than they asked if I'd come work in maintenance I of course said heak yea,And started school and in maintenance. I've been there 5 going on 6 years. It has 401k 6% match great insurance ($50,.000 surgery cost us out of pocket 1500$) and that's the low end insurance. They've given me good rises over the years even 3 different large rises for cost of living. Even annual rises are awesome if you work them right. Once your here for a year or 2 and on how you apply yourself (as to any job/career) it's an easy ride. Hope you try this place out but you've gotta love making money. See soon. 

Management is terrible, they have no clue what they are doing. On-the-job training is practically non-existent, so you better be able to learn quick. Overtime used to not be forced because the people that wanted it usually took it but now you can get forced every a day every single week which wouldn’t be bad but with the 2-2-3 schedule you can now be working up to 6 12s on your long week. And get forced on holidays. Just had to work Memorial Day and now I’m also being forced for the 4th of July. Very hot work environment and practically no times for breaks. The only good thing about this place is their vacation time.
