Working here is a classic example of not what you know or how well you can do your job but who you know and how well you can play your managers game to advance their career while they use you like a puppet on a string.  I witnessed a lot of backstabbing and throwing people under the bus by a certain person in charge.  You never know what your day is going to be like so you don't know what to expect from day to day.  Some days you could be running 3 presses at one time.  If you do learn the job and you catch on fast, you'll be looking at a situation where you have to work ten times as hard because you'll have to pick up the slack for other operators in your area who are under performing and you'll have to help them do their jobs in addition to worrying about your own job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people you work with. And even the management turn out to be friends.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You! The people you work with that don't  know you. Can make it very stressful. You know ,the ones who let you do most of the work, instead of doing the work themselves.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Some people will help you do the job,and they want to learn. The work is not hard to do. It was laid back and worth being there to do. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in and take over from the last shift,get info. On how it was for them. Then ,do your job and  teach the person working with you to do there job. Sometimes, they already  know their job. Got 3 breaks.Two 10min

 Upper management never come around a lot of employees do not even know who they are. Upper management not friendly rude and only care about production not quality. Employee have bad morale and feel as management does not care about them at all. push push push never a thanks  good work, appreciation or encouragement. Like they don't really care what you think or know what it means to someone to be told you do a good job and are appreciated because they don't care. If any problems it is always someone else's fault rather than coming up with a solution.

At first I was excited to work at the HC Companies, but as weeks passed by, I found myself often times by myself battling a whole machine. I did my best to do my job as fast as possible and still make sure that the products were spotless and in excellent condition for boxing and placing it in the skid. We had supervisors that were supposed to help with the removal of full skids and bringing an empty one back, but often times the supervisors were not in sight. So, though I like fast-paced work, especially hands on, I have to say that the HC Companies was not what I had hoped it would be. It was promising at first, but it did not stay that way.

The main problem with the company is management, all the way up to senior leadership. The expectation is to give this company your life, 50+ hours a week, and be just as available when you're off and it's your time. There is no work/life balance and they do not care about your family or time you spend with them. They want you at their beck and call 24/7, with machinery that is '70s technology, shows it and runs as well as could be expected. Pointing out issues and what's needed is frowned upon and instead the expectation is to make nearly 50-year-old equipment run as well as it did on day 1.

The management has favorites and only time they are nice is when they want to push production. The manager has favorites  and is all about pushing numbers to make her look good. The building is not safe and  they don't wear PPE and tow motors don't sound horns and push 5 pallets at a time and can't see wear the are going. they put up with harrasement and childish games. you don't get trained your on your own.people steal your personal items. If you looking for a safe enjoyable work day. don't go here. manager has her favorites
