Filtration Group Corp

The company shows great favoritism, and discrimination throughout their organization.  There is very little to no room for advancement opportunities. The company has an extremely high turnover rate of employees quitting, being fired, fighting amongst each other, and looking for ways to transfer to other departments to avoid being mistreated by management. There is very poor communication between human resources department, management to employees. There is very little support from management, and staff to help with problem-solving issues.  The training programs have proven not to be very successful to new employees.  Certain employees have been unfairly mistreated, and fired while other employees have never been disciplined or fired for committing same actions on the job site.

Overall, the collective attitude in the place is people being overworked and under appreciated. Production quantity always trumps quality and most importantly safety. You feel a very strong urgency of "whatever it takes to get the product out the door". Upper Management sees you as nothing but a body. They have astronomical job expectations and will pawn whatever work they can off on you. Even their own members of management will tell you how awful and mismanaged the place is. For a place making "clean" medical foam, the air quality is so bad their employees have to wear N95 masks or be fired. They will also make it sound like they are thriving when infact they are hemorrhaging money and you feel the doors are going to close at any time. You don't want to work here no matter the position!

Was able to work at a pace that allowed to normally complete within 8 hour day.
I learned the traffic portion, mostly self taught, which was very useful moving on after the layoff where I lost my job.
The management was pretty much easy to deal with and trusted you to do your job.
The culture was to get production done and to the customer in a timely manner.
The hardest part of the job was not knowing what was actually my job to do sometimes - but I would do it anyway.
I enjoyed being allowed to do whatever necessary to get the job done without feeling that there were going to be consequences if I did something wrong.  I knew my limitations, but did feel that I was an important part of the team.

HR was a great guy, it was very welcoming in the beginning. Starting out is confusing because you’re operating a different machine everyday but if you stay long enough you get the hang of it. I just couldn’t tolerate the disrespect of the supervisors. You can’t be a person of leadership complaining that you’re about to be fired because of your colleagues inadequacies, but at the same time have a terrible attitude, communicate poorly, and never do anything to actively benefit the company besides watch other people work then criticize and chestise them for their mistakes. Other than the supervision, Great place to work. Coworkers are helpful as well for the most part. 

I liked the hard work. I liked being able to train in almost every position. I went from packing, to assembly, then machine operator. I was the person who filled in or any open position. If someone did not show up to work I was willing to cover their poition. I enjoyed all that I learned. One of the best jobs I have had and enjoyed at the same time. Actually looked forward to going to work every day, until the time came closer to closing.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Meeting a FEW good 
people that are TRYING to make a difference 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
FAVORITISM!! Work hours being changed way too many times. Being lied to by upper management. NO surprise drug tests that SHOULD be given!!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very COLD...TOO MUCH PREJUDICE...BEING BULLIED AND THREATENED BY SUPERVISORS, HR, AND CO- WORKERS

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
DREAD GOING INTO WORK, CONSTANTLY LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER, BEING SET UP TO FAIL. ITS MISERABLE

What is the best part of working at the company?
Most staff had terrific work ethic and desire to help others.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Unrealistic production metrics in light of equipment and staffing; management profits from the hard work of staff, but doesn't share in success.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Changed vastly over the years. Used to be a family-oriented operation. Now it's corporate and disconnected.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
8-12 hours of labor for little real compensation.

I was told at hiring that there is plenty of room for advancement. That has not materialized. There is too much overtime needed, due in part to poor production scheduling. This leads to bad work/life balance, which causes burnout and employee turnover.

The equipment is not kept in top condition, and the facility, as a whole, is not kept clean or orderly enough. 

The facility purports to wanting to be world class, but neither the management nor the compensation would support that. 

Overall, it is just a job, nothing special.

The job is easily learned and very capable for just about everyone. You move around all day, you can not sit down while working on the production floor. You lift heavy objects and interact with many coworkers throughout the day. Management is not the best, honestly they are all over the place with how they treat employees, some are great and others are terrible. You will work a reliable 40 hours a work but there is mandatory overtime quite often as well. 

No job security. They lay off every year and rehire people when they get busy again then lay off again. Favoritism is a definite role with this company from people in HR to people in the warehouse .I would not recommend anyone to work for this company . This location is Filbert Hwy York South Carolina. Team leads , supervisors , HR all have favorites no matter how hard you work you will be let go when it’s lay off time if you have not already been there over 5 years . Supervisor over pleates department needs more management training . No leadership skills !
