Edge Plastics

I would not recommend getting a job here to my worst enemy. Management has no idea how the factory floor runs in the plastics industry so their expectations are unrealistic. The pay is competitive for the area but not at all high enough for the tremendous workload they put on all employees from entry level to floor supervisors. You will be doing the work of 2-3 people at minimum. If you somehow make it off the line to an indirect position, you'll be performing a list of duties that were formerly split between 3-6 different job titles.  The company overspent on automation and as such has cut the workforce to save money without cutting the workload despite less staff. 
You can Expect to be laid off with no notice a week or more at a time several times a year.  
Human resources has more control over decision making than the ownership and yet  has no idea how a plastic factory runs. So you're expected to make their horrible ideas come to fruition and can expect to take the blame when the plans fail because they aren't realistic or even possible. 
If you upset someone in the office with actual or perceived attitude, they are not above lying through their teeth to retaliate against you. Up to and including costing you your job. 
There are no promotions here typically, aside from when they can't get anyone with skills to apply due to their much deserved reputation. You can work to the best of your abilities and outperform all others and you will remain in your position while they hire unqualified people from outside to fill the openings up the job ladder. The people hired from outside never stay very long due to the workload so it's a neverending cycle of watching people be hired for a job you'd still be doing had they just promoted you like you earned.
If you still decide to give this dead end job a go after reading this honest review, come back and read it again later and you shall see every letter is the truth.


At Edge Plastics, I went above and beyond for three years by filling in for others, stepping up when the team was short, and continuously meeting or surpassing expectations. I received micromanagement, continual monitoring, and leadership that prioritized control over real outcomes in exchange. Here, favoritism is pervasive; those who complain the most and are the least productive are rewarded, while those who work hard are ignored and fired. You will only be branded as a problem if you speak up or attempt to improve the situation. Dedication is not valued by this organization; rather, it is penalized. Being expected to do more while others get away with it is the only consequence of working hard here. utterly discouraging.

I would come in early in the morning help prepare the the basics that we use through out the day. After that i go out into the dinning room and buss tables help customers with any questions or wants they might have. I operate the dish washer to help keep the dishes clean for the cooks. when it is busy i go over and operate the grill. i cook mainly break fast and lunch have done dinner before but very often, The hardest part of my job is juggling all the different areas that i work in. The most enjoyable is being about to talk with the customers about there daily lives and how i can help them make there experience more enjoyable the next time they are in .

The place is a absolute joke.. you’r training is about 15 minutes even though they tell a new hire it’s 1 hour. The place is disgusting and filthy, no break room, only a 20 minute lunch time, and you are supposed to keep up with 2 injection molding press, label’s, and wrapping the pallet. There are fans that don’t work and they tell you to bring your own! No area to go and sit in air conditioning and cool down on a break. People come and go so fast there and it’s completely understandable for how that company functions. The owner should be ashamed of herself, better yet get out there and see if you can do what us production employees are doing! And buy a ice machine for your employees. 😡

Once upon a time upper management used to communicate important things with the people that needed to know. Then a bunch of turnaround happened and the communication stopped. It turned into a hot mess. They expect way too much from people, then get upset when things go wrong. They let some people get away with doing nothing productive, then punish everyone because they don't want to single anyone out.  It's a very toxic environment, both mentally and physically. I'm sure it's not very healthy to be breathing in melted plastic and the dust from the resin. The pay and schedule were awesome, but not worth the stress and aggravation. 

This is an awful company that is very poorly managed from the top, down. It involves hard manual labor and there is rampant favoritism. The culture is one of ex cons and very unprofessional people. I had multiple things stolen from me. The HR department is a complete joke. Managers and supervisors look for any chance to blame employees for their poor decisions and lack of tools required to do the job. Employees only get one 20 minute break for the whole shift (this includes lunch). You will likely get carpal tunnel syndrome. Most people don't work there for more than a week or two.

Show Up Do Your Job And Everything Will Run Smooth. Not Alot Of Training Done Which Was Fine With .e I've Seen Others Struggle Because Of It. You Only Recurve Two 20 Minute Breaks For 12 Hours That Kinda Sucks. You Can Have Drinks And Food At The Machines. Pretty Chill Environment Honestly Best If You Remember You're There To Make Money Not Friends. 

I like the flexibility that comes with the company.  When it comes to having the luxury of managing work vs personal life, the schedule provides a perfect balance for the employees.  Hourly employees work for two days on followed by two days off, then 3 days on followed by two days off, and then finally, 2 days on followed by 3 days off.  It's a great work cycle.  Employees are able to their 40 hours a week yet have more time off than working for many other places.

Management expects you to break your back for the company but wouldn’t do the same for their employees. They’ll give you more work but questions why you would want more money. There is a defined hierarchy and there is a lot of favoritism. Many have described the working environment as dog eat dog.
