FCA PACKAGING

Started out as a very small company that had a very tight knit family feel.  One of the two founders retired and sold his part of the company to an investment group.  That's when the bonuses and raises declined and eventually vanished.  The 401k got better but still weak.  Insurance options also got better but also subpar.  The company underwent massive growth under new management, adding new facilities, buying out a competitor, and adding new customers all the time.  The top management was apparently ill equipped to handle this amount of growth as there are several people and entire departments at the highest levels that are almost completely ineffectual and incompetent.  When that trickles down to the plant level it makes the management of each of the facilities way harder than it needs to be. Their mission statement, culture acronym, quality policy, and other company wide type policies are just lip service.  Nothing worthwhile is done at the corporate level to support them, in fact they actually seem to make an effort to go against them quite frequently. Basically it's a constant fight for each facility versus the corporate office to keep moving forward.  There were many opportunities to advance but none were desirable in my case.  I did find the work to be very fun.  It's very fast paced, high volume, and it was something new and different all the time.  If you're a good worker, your job is secure. At the lower levels this can be a really nice place to work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no good part about it

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Terrible safety program, repetitive work causes injuries, terrible methodology and bad management.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mostly non English speaking employees with redneck supervisors

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
7.25 hours at your work station with monitored cameras watching everything.  Short breaks and lunch, few if any rubber mats on the cement floors

Pretty much a steady paced job, as long as you find a rhythm the work is easy for the most part; however , a couple of the crate designs are a little more complicated than others. What I enjoy the most is working with the wood, I love to build, also the staff are great, they help you too understand your duties and the runnings of the factory.I give them a ,8 , given you can only make a certain amount no matter how long you work there.

Worked there less than 6 months and employees came and went every week or 2. Management has favorites that have been there longer than others. No job security, no job offered while i was there. Most employees were easy going and got along with each other. Management offered fulltime employees on weekends but would never allow temps to get the chance to work overtime.

FCA Packaging is terrible company to work for. They go through approximately 150 to 200 new hires per year. All their equipment is old and constantly breaks. The company needs an overhaul all around from their equipment, to their training skills, safety precautions and respect for thier employees from management to the every day laborers alike. Few have respect, especially in regards to new hires

Fca packaging was one of my favorite jobs it was a small plant the employees and management were very friendly the pay was average for the type of work but there was plenty of overtime hours available I would recommend this job to anyone who is shilled in carpenter work and enjoys a fast pace competitive job

Was a good company until I started moving up the ladder. Working inside of Caterpillar logistics has been difficult because of coronavirus. Because if someone is sick there they get 2 weeks paid off work. If you get sick FCA makes you take 2 weeks off without pay. Which us safe be people are not able to live without a paycheck.

FCA has helped me build a career and develop myself both professionally and personally. Many great people work there, and there is a focus on the future and sustainable growth.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Having my own station and my own tools

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Harassment everything falling apart

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They show favoritism to some and it’s not right

Get material, put it on the hydraulic lift. I learned all the sawyer stations. The management was great they cared about their employees. Fast working environment. Cleaning at the end of shift. The management, and supervisors.
