EAST JORDAN PLASTICS

I work here for almost a year now. This company is plague by past management and bad decisions but, new management has been working hard to get back on track and becoming more employee friendly. Right now this place is extremely shorthanded and sometimes it takes a week to fixed things due to the lack of maintenance available which can make days very stressful when lines aren't working as attended. 

A vast of majority of employees are very friendly and will help you if able too. The management is very approachable and friendly.

You work 12 hours shift for only work 3-4 days a week on your regular schedule shifts unless you decided to take overtime then its usually more.As for breaks you get 2 20 min breaks which isn't alot but a step up from what it was. Unfortunately you need to wait until someone is able to off break you so sometime you need to wait 5-6 hours to get your first break if only one person is off breaking people.

I really enjoyed working at East Jordan plastic everyone is really nice and easy to get along with.  Everyone helps you out with almost any thing. It is a very fast paced environment and can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. You have to watch out for some of the fork lift driver's.  Make sure you have all of your safety stuff with you at all times. If you can't stay working cuz your machine broke down then you better find something to do cuz you aren't allowed to just stand around and do nothing. You are not allowed to sit down unless you are on your 20 min break .

12 hour shifts with zero breaks.  One half hour lunch in which you are not allowed to leave, even to step outside.  Lockout procedures skipped if it meant they could get the machine running two minutes faster, while employees are expected to reach or climb into machinery that can maim or kill in an instant with the bump of a switch.  Lift equipment left running and IN GEAR with operator far out of sight.  Slip/trip hazards everywhere.  Equipment is ancient, breaks constantly and is very poorly maintained.  Pointing any of this out is met with a stern hush and the mark of a troublemaker.

This company not fair. Typically you go in and it’s not hard work but working in print room training is a joke the trainer had two machines and I was trained I was  packing myself and fired cause of rumors. Rumors funny huh. Cause I wanted to further my job well I guess they want you to be a robot just stand around like the other employees did. I would stay away from this place if you want fired. Cause the other employees get their way if they want too. Rumors get you fired. Management at least the office people have no idea what really is going on the floor because I was staying in my cubicle and never spoke to the other employees did my work and still got fired. So much for good workers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay was good. That’s about all. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They don’t want to listen to the people with the most talent. They don’t want to take care of their tools. They want you to run them the same way they have always ran. Not well. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very dirty. The culture is run everything as fast as possible with no regard to efficiency. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Trying to get molds running that don’t have the capability to run like management wants.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The managers can miss time and it’s ok but if a packer or sorter misses time they will fire them

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management has no real idea what goes on in their process, they shouldn’t be allowed to make decisions on stuff they don’t know about

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostility and favoritism run rampant here

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long and unfulfilling, you would be better off working somewhere else, HR and management are terrible

How much the management and owners care about safety and their employees. Health benefits and retirement contribution are awesome. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing. I truly enjoy going to work every day. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Safety and employees 1st,  make for happy customers. Laid back and very employee and customer oriented . 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Collaboration with excellent co-workers and management.

Lots of people standing around while others work in an above 90° environment. Supervisors let some employees wander around, play on the phone and stand around talking.  Wash line cleans up one hour before quitting time just to stand around and wander. 
When I worked in maintenance there I would work hard to put work orders in and complete work orders. I barely had time for break. 
A lot of sad attention seeking people there with no outside life so they create a social environment there while some are there to work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good benefits would be the only reason to stay at this job. And guaranteed hours.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The machines would back up nonstop

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is very dirty and a lot of the people too (they didn’t clean up after themselves). 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The same thing for 12 hours straight

Management's lack of care, No freedom on breaks. Just a bad place to work in my opinion. I took my break and wasn't even allowed to leave the building or go outside to my Vehicle. On your 12 hour shift, You are only given 2, 10 minute breaks, No Lunch. 
From the fast paced work it is, You should be entitled to a 30 minute Lunch as well as 2, 10 Minute breaks. 
The place just seemed Crooked and out of Order.
