This isn't a bad place to work although it used to be better. Main problem the TH plant has is excessive OT. The OT is a morale killer around the plant but it's handy if you need/want to make some extra money. There's a few areas in the plant where you'll get pretty dirty over the course of your shift but they do have showers in the locker rooms and provide soap,towels and laundered uniforms. Breaks are generous as they should be due to the heat in the summer and just how busy you'll be on a day to day basis. Management can't seem to get out of their own way even though it seems like they legitimately want the plant to run well. Equipment is old...corporate needs to invest more into the plant. Maintenance never has the needed downtime to perform PMs on the equipment which makes every operators job harder due to constant equipment issues. Safety culture is pretty decent but in the past couple years it's starting to seem more like lip service than being an actual priority like it used to be. Most of the operators you work with are genuinely good guys but the constant OT and last minute schedule changes have people on edge which can lead to some issues. Supervisors are pretty cool for the most part but they tend to avoid confrontation with operators that repeatedly cause issues which is a cause of a lot of frustration among the good operators. The supervisors need to be more engaged with how every area is running but they're more focused on the numbers which is likely the result of pressure from management. Pay is decent but should be higher for the work you do. The older guys that have been around awhile make quite a bit more than us newer guys. Apparently there used to be a different pay scale that they changed years ago but the starting rate now should be at least $21/hr. It would definitely help with the insane turnover the plant is experiencing. Benefits are about average but they start from day 1 as does your vacation and PTO. 2 weeks of vacation and 56 hours of PTO is what you start with (pro-rated your first year) but the PTO is a joke because using it will cause an occurrence. You also get paid holidays and one "floater" a year but there's been a troubling trend over the last couple of years of management wanting us to work on some holidays. Overall this isn't a bad place to work but there's tons of room for improvement from management/corporate. I think they'll eventually learn that if they want to keep the doors open they're going to need to raise the pay or people will continue to go to easier, cleaner jobs for a dollar or two less an hr.  

A lot of the operations personnel/ production personnel are good people who at the end of the day just want to get the job done. Listen learn and don’t make the same mistake twice and they will help you get better.
It's a great place to get your feet wet but don't think of it as anything more than that.
They will hire you even if you don't have any experience. Minimum GED and they will get you a job that pays higher than minimum wage.  Yes, the work you do is worth more than they pay you. You will, however, get paid more for the longer you stay with the company and for every role that you can take.
Overtime is often mandatory because there is an almost crippling lack of manpower. I am unsure if it has changed in the time since I have worked there but it was bad.
Most if not all who start the job will be contractors through a staffing agency and you have six months to prove that you can do the job without supervision. Often, they will expect you to be able to do the job within three weeks regardless of whether you have done every production run or not. If you want to be hired on you must tell management, they will not come to you.
There are multiple different plants that you can put into and all of them suck in their own ways. As a temporary you will be moved wherever they need you. The plants specialize in plastics specifically black and natural. They however do run other colors Such as yellow. Each plant runs different products based on customer needs. Each plant is a batch plant.
This job requires a lot of physicality. You will be moving up and down stairs constantly moving on your feet and carrying up to 50 lbs. of material regularly. Depending on the production run you could carry over 50 lbs. For those of you looking for an actual plant operator job. This position is not it. Get the experience you need shake their hands and say thank you then leave.


Has the potential to be a career job, but this company unfortunately misses the mark on many things to stay working here. Pay is laughable. Turnover is the worst. People realize the juice isn’t worth the squeeze so they leave. They expect you to be more “fluid” learning different parts of the plant, but won’t offer you any more money for learning and becoming more valuable. Not all bad though. They started giving us a more obtainable bonus which is nice and there’s never a shortage on hours. If you like the OT they will let you work every day if you want. Job security is there because they can never fill out enough operators needed per shift. Management tries to micromanage sometimes to increase production, but that typically fizzles out since they know there’s never enough people to handle the workload on an everyday basis. 90% of the time you work at your own pace, and as long as you stay busy they never care too much.

Overall, if you’re just getting your feet wet in the industry and need the experience before moving on to something better this is a good starting job and looks good on a resume. Just don’t plan on spending any more time here than needed. All they do is disappoint and make the cons eventually outweigh the pros. Very sad honestly. 

The sky is the limit for pay. They will drown you in money if you want to put in the effort and a honest days work. They let you decide how much money you make. The managers were the bees knees. They never asked you to do anything they wouldn’t do themselves if necessary. They didn’t micromanage you and allowed you to set your own pace and take plenty of breaks throughout your shift. They all had an open door policy if you had concerns. They were on call 24/7 if they were needed.  It was a teamwork type of establishment with plenty of opportunity for extra income if you weren’t terrified of a little work. At times it got busy and then there were days when all they asked you to do was a little extra housekeeping. A normal day consisted of driving a forklift, cleaning equipment, and cleaning up after yourself. It was a lot less work than I expected when I accepted the position. The only con is that some of my teammates wouldn’t show up for work regularly and some of the guys were a little dramatic when you asked them to do small routine tasks.

If you aren’t part of the “good ol’ boys” club, they couldn’t care less about you. Hard work is not rewarded. They’ll give newbies endless raises, but won’t even consider giving a raise to seasoned employees. I’ve been there 4 years come January, and 4 people who are in entry level jobs just got raises bringing them up within a dollar of my hourly pay. One of the first guys I trained makes $2 more than I do. They also expect you to live at work. I have worked 6 12 hour shifts every week from January to the end of May and they have still not done anything to try and fill the open spot. Management constantly talks about how we are making record profits, yet won’t give a slice of the pie and will force us to work holidays if it means they get more for their bonus. 

When I started I was told we worked monday to Thursday with the occasional friday a year later and i rarely get my Saturdays off. They pay new hires with little experience more than they pay people who have been here for years and there is obvious favorites night shift will work harder than day shift and night shift gets blamed for everything they do not care if you are a supervisor related to a worker and that worker gets away with murder there is no communication between shifts and if you try to do the supervisors do not care if you are having constant issues with turnovers from the previous shift they plaster it's a great place to work but really it's a place to work. The only good thing from this place is the night shift staff on the production line who take there time to help eachother when needed dayshift staff are the worst people and are made up of company favorites

Could be an awesome place to work if they hired actual managers. Their management consist of a bunch of dumb rednecks that took advantage of the buddy system. The hours are inconsistent simply because they do not know how to mange money. The budget cuts come straight out of the employees paychecks in the form of cutting hours every time they mishandle money. With the exception of an elite and oh so special few who are salary. Magically they do not miss any money on their paychecks. The hourly pay is good but the amount of hours you receive is different from week to week. A lot of good people to work with but extremely unreliable hours and management.

Working at Geon performance solutions will lead to being let down time and time again. False hope and lies are handed out about pay increases and advancement by upper management very often. The morale is very low and the work life family balance is very lopsided. I wouldn’t recommend working here unless you are simply looking for something short term out of desperation. Safety is not a priority and I would not suggest working here unless you’re simply looking to gain experience and use this place as a resume builder. 

I was not at GEON for long because I was a summer intern, however, it is an amazing place to work. I was treated like I was part of the "family" even with my short time there.  The work environment is friendly and competitive, which motivated me to put 110% into everything I did, no matter how small. Managers on all levels were encouraging and very nice, they empowered me and my colleagues on a daily basis. Due to the upbeat and happy environment, the days seemed to go by rather quickly. Honestly, GEON is a fantastic place to work and I hope to return soon.
