I should have done more research before I went to work here. I was placed here by Jerman Staffing (columbia sc). This company is unbelievably dangerous (I was required to work on equipment with out locking it out). This is the company that poisoned and killed a few hundred dogs, some cats and almost killed two elderly women. Management, even when sober, is kind of a joke. Instead of engineering, training, devising good quality controls, they make up excuses to fire the guys in the quality control department. I worked as a mechanic and was eventually fired for having an injured knee. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere if you need a job. They Do pay 100% of the medical insurance, which is just amazing. Pay is poor, pay raises are few and far between. The general manager, 2 of the three top people in the maintenance department are alcoholics. The whole place is just miserable, it's creepy and bizarre how bad that place is. I worked at the  Gaston SC plant, I can't say what the rest of the company is like.

They embrace a toxic work culture where employees run rampant and create a hostile working environment at almost every turn. Upper management can’t be bothered with those issues they rather sit in our office and monitor cameras. Have a couple of individuals that are currently employed there that have been known to runoff countless other new hires due to their toxic, hazing and harassing. Still underpaid for the job duties that are performed. The one bonus I do give them they do have pretty stellar health benefits probably about one of the few good aspects. HR views you as a number and nothing more made that point very clear during orientation when they started out the meeting with saying just to let everyone know this is a right to work State, meaning we can terminate you at any time. Training is chaotic because you don’t know which direction to go coupled with no real leadership. you spend about the first 30 minutes to an hour trying to find the resources to perform your job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The consistency of  overtime helped the pay 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The overall lack of professionalism, and not really knowing if the management has your back or not, do not get a job here

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s very strange there. They literally just hired a guy back after he called somebody the N-word and pulled out a knife and told me he was gonna gut him but that’s OK. He can come back and work there like I said do not work at this place.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hot and always a hot mess of a show with poor management

Management needs to understand that the market is changing but they aren’t changing with the time at all. Their raises are based on inflation, solely. You can have zero points, perfect attendance and go above and beyond your work requirements but you’ll get the same 3% as the other guy that has 11 points and shows up to work twice a week. The starting pay is less than the surrounding companies are starting at. The only good thing are the benefits. That’s it. Nothing else. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Love the the 12hour shifts. And enjoyed working with some of my former colleagues.

The management there was awful. They showed no consideration for their workers. Showed more favoritism to certain race.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I am no longer employed by this company

Unfortunately, my typical day at work consisted of fielding phone calls from disgruntled employees. They were upset because they couldn't reach the HR Manager, who rarely returned calls. I didn't learn it, but I was able to add to my customer service skills by stepping up and taking care of employee requests as soon as they asked for help.  My attention to their needs improved their workplace culture. That was the most enjoyable part of my job.

It was the worse company I have every worked for. The office manager wanted to know about your personal life and when you wouldn’t share yours she would treat you as an enemy. She would broadcast hers to everybody like a teenager. She would talked about employees to other employees, very unprofessional. They make up excuses to fire people. The place is a joke. Only good thing is the benefits but other than that it was a very stressful place to work.

The Rushville plant is still finding its footing and there is room for improvement in multiple areas, but if you can get hired on it’s a very nice environment.

There will be some surprise overtime at the end of your shift, you will be met with a blank stare on some questions, and you will even be blamed for things that aren’t your fault. But, you will also find that the management is very personable, the work environment is fairly relaxed (for now) and you get used to the 12.5 hour shifts quicker than you’d expect.
