Everyone there is always really nice to me, though I have heard that they are not always nice to each other, both upper management as well as employees to each other. I personally have never experienced this, and it was just told to me by someone who has been here for a while.

Sometimes the culture resembles that of high school, where if someone messes up and it got in the way of someone else, sometimes that person will purposefully screw them over later on.

That aside, there are others who are incredibly helpful and really know how to get the job done.

Make sure the quality was acceptable according to procedures.
Moved heavy equipment with forklifts and provided minor mechanical repairs
Maintained a variety of hand and power tools and equipment.

Managers drive people out by not fixing the issue of not having a single break throughout the shift. Anyone with power loves to play the blame game.
HR does not follow up on anything unless one is stupidly persistent.
Coworkers are usually pretty cool and the work itself isn't terrible.

When I was hired by the general manager, was asked to take employees to Indiana to sister plants to train them. and while I was there figure out what problems with the system they had because he did not want it to be the same at guardian west. I gave a full report and he did not follow my recommendations and it became exactly the same

I'm a very hard working very dependable. I'm always on time for work also I don't miss many days. I'm a people person so I get along with everybody. And just a all around good people person good worker my bosses love me. Because they can come to me and the work will get done.

It pays really good but the management was not good. Fast Pace and very loud do to the presses. So what easy to advance on production floor. They do have family picnics in summer and do a Christmas party around Christmas time.

Responsible for running reports  and  placing orders .
Placing order with vendors by phone or fax .
Created bids and sent out to vendors , review for yearly  order pricing..
Had meetings  with managers and associates

I work a lot of hours there and thought of most of the people that I worked with to be family miss them a lot and hope to find another place I can call home away from home My boss was great guy to work for. there was nothing that I didn't what to learn how to do.

When i was working for Guardian West there where a lot of things I did not like. The supervisors would curse at you when they got upset i did not feel like it was a great work place.
