I work day shift and the people I work with are great to get along with and most of them will help u out if u need help with your job. The hours are 12 hour shifts which sometimes it can seem longer on some days than other days. But the 12 hour schedule I like cause I have some days off during the week so I can get stuff done when places are closed on weekends so you can do it on them days and the days off are always the same days every other week. The other 12 hour schedule week you get the weekend off Fri, Sat, and Sunday and it's every other week. If you can get use to working the 12 hour shifts than it's not a bad schedule to work. The shift hours are 7a to 7p and 7p to 7a for the night shift. And your breaks are paid so you get paid for all the breaks including the dinner break. The pay could be better for some of the workers that work there. I have been working there for less than a year and I have learned to do everything in the excursion dept except for the machine operator which I am supposed to be training for now and should be getting more pay than the top position on the packing but there are packers making the same pay as some of the operators are getting. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with several long term well educated electrical mechanics learning the day to day operations of the injection molding enterprise, as well as the hands on that is available on day one .Excellent management .

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Knowing that every minute of down time for repairs is money being lost for the company which in turn is lost wages for the employees that depend on a fully operational piece of equipment. Being a team player I take this very serious because I care about my team mates 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast paced but informative and assistant.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Daily meetings to distribute the work load and discuss means that represent a smooth work day .machinery is older so alot of preventive maintenance.

Starting off, you will be working a 12 hour shift usually on a 223 schedule. Its not bad once you get used to it. The management can be either hindering or helpful depending on who and what. Some supervisors will get down in the mud with you, others will demand you do the most time consuming tasks in the most inefficient way, and your line will be backed up and they will reprimand you for it. Most of the time the work is steady and peaceful and teamwork is abundant and workplace pettiness is virtually non existant amongst co workers. Sometimes the shift prior will leave you in a tough spot but once you get your bearings, those problems are miniscule and youll get your work area and materials in tip top shape. The pay isnt amazing, the work is simple but does wear you out. Bring lots of food and snacks, comfy shoes and maybe a bottle of advil and youll fly through your work week and enjoy a decent pay.

This establishment needs to be bought out by a company who: utilizes this centuries readily available technology, is willing to pay their employees more than $10.00 an hour, out of the tens of millions they gross annually, cares greatly for the health and safety of its employess, and thrives on ingenuity, ideas, and change for a brighter future.

Change pushes people and businesses alike to grow and become stronger. The world isnt going to stop for you if you refuse to change, and if you continue to refuse, you'll wake up one day in a hole that nobody will be able to help you out of.

Co workers can be ok. The Job itself is easy although you will be underpaid for the amount of work asked, Leads are terrible. They fire and blame others for their faults to cover their own, will disappear into hiding during the weekday after 5PM when the Plant manager leaves, will do the same on weekends as well as bring personal items from home to work on with company tools, you can ask 5 people on whether or not a product is good and get 3 answers and then be blamed for when it goes out and is returned with the OK from the Lead, Lead QC, AND plant manager, it has a Very high turn over rate despite being a small plant entirely due to the lack of good Management, the highest pay ive seen not as a lead there was someone that worked over a year and got bumped up to 18. not worth the pay for the stress

A typical day at work is 12 hours long, consisting of two 10 minute breaks and a 30 minute break. These are dependent on workload for operators, and may not all happen.

Management has a long history of granting advancement to unqualified people, and not enforcing safety rules. Threats of termination are made over things like complaints about broken tools, but members of the "in-club" are not punished for things like damaging equipment, walls, and causing extreme safety hazards.

Job culture is, for large part a prison and drug culture, with many of the new people coming in at any given time actively using controlled substances and/or just coming out of imprisonment.

Presently, plant management has pulled in family members to fill middle-management roles.

What is the best part of working at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

FIRST and foremost I was hired on as a lead in shipping.It was very unsafe and a lot of pot holes everywhere. Second there is no accoutdablity for anything ,if you get hired on they wait for you to make a mistake and never let it go. They would say it doesn't matter if you do good 99 percent of the time if you messed up 1 time that is how we see you.They never gave raises and would go through so many associates it crazy.To put it blunt if you work for this company you will not last so don't put all your eggs in one basket.

I was Q.C guy for two years. I dealt with a lot of squabbling in a developing company. 
The debates about quality were a big issue here. There were no organisational skills and the factory lay in a mess s lot of the time with down time due to old machinery and workers not being up to scratch with being focused. Night shift seemed the worse nightmare with members going missing.  There was always a shortage of workers that put a great strain on those genuine ones. Overall a memorable experience at that !

I have worked at homeland vinyl since October 05 in the maintenance department.  I had the opportunity to work on shift B. 
I already had experience in the maintenance field and took the knowledge with me and applied it here. I have learned a lot from others and very informative how things work. 
Since the beginning of May of 2025 the structure is improving with new management and better structure . I encourage to give us a chance . I have seen the positive since the new management. 
We will teach you and help you get improve your performance .
