Double H Plastics

If you're part of the "in" group, relatives of management,  or are a new hire, you have nothing to worry about here. They're actively looking for new reasons to terminate good employees. Management purposefully tries to set their workers up for failure. Laziness is often rewarded. They do not except any form of doctor notes/slips, so if something happens to you or your children, you're going to be out of a job. They claim to be understanding and family oriented, but they simply do not care about their employees. It's overall a very hostile work environment, especially from upper management and HR. They love to argue, play mind games, intimidate, and threaten your job security on a daily basis. They will write you up for incidents that other employees had. They're almost always understaffed. Rules only apply to lower tier workers. Raises are usually only given once per year, and is usually less than a quarter. No sick days. No personal days. No incentives for training new people. New people coming in will often get paid more than full time veteran employees. Seniority is dangerous here. Some people can get away with going over their break times 10-20 minutes, while others are scolded when they finally get any break. They do not like to promote within the company. Its a very stressful place to work for.. Overall they treat their current employees very poorly and constantly make everyone feel anxious and uncomfortable. They couldn't offer me enough money to come back to work here. 

I wish I could tell you to work here. When I signed on, it was a great job. Point of fact, it still is a great job. However, recent hiring decisions here have destroyed the culture ofnteamwork and trust that Double H has built over years as a local institition.

The job itself, while fast-paced and at times a bit hectic, is pleasant enough for those who enjoy this sort of factory work. With mind towards some ergonomic issues (which the present floor manager doesn't seem to understand), there is little to prevent most people from doing the job.

The aforementioned present floor manager is the problem. Well, he and his gaggle of toadies. He joined the company a few weeks ago, and has "interviewed well" written all over him. He's that sort of misogynist, prototypical, alpha-male that ruins every place of work they're put in charge of. First, edicts of "call out your coworkers," which fosters soooooo much teamwork and good will, in addition to mediating employee conflicts being part of his job. This was followed by another command to stop going over his head to HR, which at any normal company is what you do when you're not comfortable confronting a manager about a problem.

By the time I left the place a few days ago, any spirit of teamwork and solidarity had been thoroughly destroyed. Don't work here while this man holds sway.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The hourly employees are the best! They made all the headaches worthwhile. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Way too much drama upfront. It felt like walking on eggshells day in and day out. Very toxic behaviors from leadership positions. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic. Culture was against quality. They also treated the hourly employees like they were children. They went as far as removing floor drinking water as a discipline for non compliance. Very controlling management. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful due to drama. Management is very unprofessional. If you have good work ethics, morals and values and had a voice and refused to be disrespectful, you were quickly labeled as a problem. If you are ok with being a doormat and letting your career skills go to waste, this place is perfect.

I enjoy my job at Double H. We go in and find out where we are assigned then it's out to the floor to our line and see what the job status is. In certain areas we write all the change overs for the day that way people know when and where to help out. Keep the lines filled and pack product inspecting as you go along. Take finished goods to designated area for pick up. Keep supplies filled such as boxes and bags, labels and skids. Hardest part is when the machines want to act up and give you problems. Another difficulty is when you have several change overs at the same time. My co workers for the most part a good bunch.  I enjoy doing a good job and getting good numbers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
My best part is that I got to move alot and didn't have to stand in one spot all night long.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I was quick to get all that was expected of me and some. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Extremely Well , It was one of my most favorite jobs I've had.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was always excited to go in and learn something new. I didn't have very good people that trained me so I would ask any one questions to learn more about my job. It's not that the person that trained me was bad. But she kept pretty busy herself. I really loved working here.

Double H Plastics was a very nice environment to be employed in. The management was very professional, the coworkers were extremely friendly and very helpful. Fast paced work atmosphere that is very productive despite the many machines tgat were operating. Everyone sucessfully completed their required task to maintain the process of daily consistency that the company provides in detail with the pleasure of satisfying their customers. The have a nice sized break room equipped with vending machines, microwaves, free coffee machines, hot food vending machines, water fountain, cups, plates, abd eating utensils.

Great company to work for, great benefits, everything like that, but when I identified a safety issue (moving 200+lbs containers by hand), and followed the companies "red tag safety program", I was told there are lifting systems in place. When I asked why the use of these systems was not enforced, I was told "why does this surprise you?".

Love the company for the way they have treated me, but can't support not resolving a serious safety issue.

It's the only issue I have with this company, otherwise I would recommend them to anyone.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The final day. It felt like I was being raised from the dead.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Attacks from every direction. Ownership very involved and the micromanagement is like nothing  I have ever seen.
Antiquated methodology and refusal to adapt to modern manufacturing techniques. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic. No structure. Just wild west survival.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Defeated. Everyone was just beaten down with no hope for change.

I started double h plastics and one thing that stood out to me was the girl that trained me was with me for 5 minutes and then left me to do an easier job and didn't come back and check on me to see how I was. She went off and did another job and even picked up a broom while I was struggling I've never done that kind of work before I was opening up tubes with a stick while one guy leaned on the tubes watching me it was very very stressful not really anyone was friendly I would not suggest working here
I see why they have a high turnover rate!!!!


Under new management. The new leadership is doing everything they can to run the business into the ground.  The pay is minimum  $2/hr  less than any comparable positions.  

The job doesn't  get better with experience.  This is not a place where you are promoted because of what you know, but instead, because of who you...

The equipment is old and completely undermaintained, and when production stops, the equipment is NEVER at fault. It is always the operator or packer who the problem.  

Lastly, the major rumor is that the company will close its TN location within 6 months.
