Dominion Packaging, Inc.

Was good money but company has decided to only work their employees three days a week because for some reason the cutting machines keep messing up stockpile with rolls of product that's not going anywhere so been cut down to 3 days a week and they could care less how their employees make it or not that's why so many people looking for jobs elsewhere no 401k  matching they have health insurance but it sucks you get 5 days vacation your first year that's not too bad but because hours was being cut so drastically right now people are having to use their vacation time just to get paid if the machines break down you don't go in you may not go in for 4 or 5 days at a time how are people supposed to make it like that if the machines break down to me the employees should still be paid that's no fault of theirs

12 hour shifts can be strenuous, however you only work fourteen days out of the month. Swing shifts are very hard to get adjusted to at any company, this one isn't either. I've actually learned a great deal of things related to setting up machinery and inspecting the finished product.I have also learned how to deal with a fast paced environment without panicking when things aren't going as well as you would like. My most enjoyable thing about working at Dominion Packaging is the people and the relationships I've created over the years.

A typical day of work was communicating with the prior shift for any defects, malfunctions on the product and equipment.  Afterwards, I setup for the next job and communicated with the operator and catchers about the viscosity of the ink as well as being informed about any defects in the roll.  The hardest part was encountering defects in the rolls because the roll had to be pulled off the line.  The most enjoyable part was producing a quality product.

Can be overwhelming at times but with a good work group/team it would make things alot better & smooth. It's favoritism to the more known employees. A few supervisors thats understanding & will help if needed. Beware of some employees overstepping boundaries as if they are in charge(Ego driven). You can make your money as long as you don't mind working & putting in those hours/O.T.

Managers conflicting with one another. Very poor ventilation of hazardous vapors, very hot in the summer, no heat in the winter. Management seems to have no concern their employees, benefits are very expensive, no match on 401k, everything is done as cheaply as possible, all money made by the old Richmond plant seems to go into the newer Sandston plant with nothing being done for the old plant or the employees. If you absolutely have to have a job, well it's a job and that's about it.

 Seek employment elsewhere

I was only there for two weeks, but the two weeks that I was there made me feel as though I were part of the Dominon Packaging office family. I learned about how the IT department can really make a difference in the work of other people. From what I could see, everything was done to maximize efficiency for the factory workers and the office workers.
