EVCO PLASTICS

when i worked there, i got written up for helping other people, i got in trouble for being a self starter when they said something needed to be done, i would go do it, and they didnt like that, when they let me go they told me they were doing me a favor and that was pretty much it, when they would "talk" with me, they would actually be yelling and highly un professional, they never ment what they said, you would have to try to read between the lines with them to understand what they wanted you to do. When i worked there i lost my uncle and went into a depressed state, and instead of being more encouraging, or even understanding i got told i had to smile all the time and be in a happier mood, but they could not give me an example of what they had ment, i actually got wrote up for not smiling all the time. this has to be the worst place i have even worked for. There are some great people there, but sometimes it takes more then great people to make a great place. the only part of the job i enjoyed was getting the pay check. A typical day was to first attend a meeting where you were assigned a machine, and u had to read what you needed to do, then you stood there and preformed the duties there at the machine, you got three breaks two for 10 mins and one for 30 mins which was lunch, when you machine was not running you had to sweep, and during the slow season there was just about every operator sweeping the floors, this was when i got in trouble instead of being another person looking for stuff on the floor to clean i would go help someone that had a lot of things to do.

. The upper management promoted me, then laid me off from my temp agency for NO reason. Machines run whether or not you have boxes to put things in so you have to set things aside and hope they don’t get scratched. (There were literally piles everywhere and me and my coworker had no time to pack AND run the machine at the same time.) Evco needs to get their company together because everyone I’ve ever talked to says it’s super disorganized and you have to work mandatory overtime and sometime have NO days off. The pay was decent but not for a job where you’re breaking your back just for no job security. I would not apply here because they’re never going to understand that their employees aren’t happy and that the only people who are going to stay there are the ones who don’t have to deal with the work on the floor. HIGH turnover of employees and they give trainer duties to employees not assigned that position and don’t pay them for it either. Welcome to Evco, welcome to busting your butt for nothing

What is the best part of working at the company?
Almost everyone who works there is very friendly

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Often asked to do jobs that do not align with your job description for other incompetent employees without compensation or extra pay.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
very secretive, nothing is transparent about pay. Employees are told promotions are available within the employee pool but often they opt for a temp agency or younger less experienced employees for less pay 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Training is lacking and those who do train are not on the same page and don't have the proper training themselves or accurate guidance or support on training. Time is wasted and employees are often standing around not knowing what to do. When you offer to help develop a better training position you are ignored. They only seem to want to hire those with a degree and no experience in the actual field.

I love coming to work almost every day. I love the hands on with tools and fast jobs. I have been there only a little over 2 months and I am already moving up within the company,  but it took hard work and motivation to want to succeed. I am excited to see where I go within the company and grateful that management seen something in me and offered me the promotion. The only cons were the production trainers not being helpful sometimes and often rude and irritated. Also obviously the harder you work the more they will expect out of you and will continously put you on the bigger jobs. Which I had no problem with but my advice would be to take it easy until your comfortable with the jobs so you don't burn yourself out.! Ask questions and always keep your eyes open for defects in the plastic and you'll be fine, great company to work for!

What is the best part of working at the company?
I loved everything about it. You truely had a work family there. It was awesome seeing how things came together, and the events that they had for staff. You are REALLY appreciated there!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I think it was a couple of jobs were hard for me to grasp, but otherwise nothing

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
. It’s comfortable. You didn’t need to feel uncomfortable asking a question if you didn’t understand. They would positively encourage you. I build relationships with my co-workers that I never have had at any other job

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I worked Monday through Friday 6-2. I came in clocked in, found out what machine I was on, and was there usually for the shift. I got two 20 minute breaks and a half hour lunch

i would go in at 11 get off at 7 i would go to a staff meeting before shift find which machine to be on if i wasnt on a machine i would clean machines or help mix material or help other workers if they needed it management was very poor because they was no supervisor on my shift our floor cordinator was but he was always busy maintaining orders making sure to give out breaks keeping up with pruduction he hardly have time to do his job and be a supervisor my co workers were very laid back some mornings after work we would go eat breakfast and chat a bit 
the hardest part about the job depended on the product if it was class A it had to be perfect nothing wrong but other than it wasnt to bad 
the most enjoyable part was the fact some of the machine ran so fast you had to work hard and fast never a dull moment always something to do

Favoritism for a tenure employees who are disrespectful, rude and arrogant to new employees. HR and Management do not address these issues with these employees, they prefer to ignore it and let the new employees suffer the consequences. The dayshift supervisor is very fair and respectful. HR and Management is very out of touch with what goes on during the shift, on the producrions floor. The Supervisor tells you that your doing a good job but then ironically Management tells you differently, when the supervisor is off for the week and also right after you address an issue you are having with a fellow tenure employee's attitude. They seem very unorganized when the supervisor is gone, unless one of the wknd Supervisors are filling in. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Benefits and easy work, fast paced but easy

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with inconsistent supervisors and quality control my product defect may be good one day and not the next. If you pack it on the day it's not good they will write you up for it and the supervisor who said he will stand behind you will not

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
All my shift at least it is a hostile work environment and the culture is not even present. The supervisor wants to micromanage everything you do

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You never know what your typical day is going to be cuz your job responsibilities will change hour to hour

The company is mismanaged from the top down, with zero communication occurring from the bottom up.  The employees at the manufacturing level are unable to be heard by their  management.  Suggestions for improvement are outright ignored.  Disorganization is the norm.

The culture is contentious and argumentative. Highly unprofessional. Yelling arguments are common on the manufacturing floor. 

It is a tenuous place for new temps with an excessively high turnover rate. Dismissals occur if they are too slow, or experience personality conflicts with the managers or trainers.

Pay rates are rigid and sub par for the area.

In this company if you are not a favorite within the company than it seems you will have a harder timeat work. some people are allowed to take several breaks a day and longer breaks. if you are not liked then you get in trouble for taking just a single minute longer on break. there are many advancement opportunities, but again if the person doing the interviews doesnt like you for whatever reason, or likes someone else better, then it doesnt even really matter if you're qualified for the job or not, they will pick the person they like best on a personal level.
