IDX Corporation

I couldn't be happier with this company but there is one thing that needs improvement; more work to sustain employment.

That's one bad thing about this company, they hire a ton of temps (most of which don't stay on long because they can't handle the workflow) which takes away from those of us who need to keep the job in order to make it by.

The benefits are really good and don't take a lot of one's paycheck which is a definite plus.

The only other thing that's wrong with the company is this particular facility is working with overly-outdated equipment.  If you work here on the mill side be prepared for machines constantly breaking down, being moved to different areas of the mill and pushing a broom for hours on end.  They keep you busy during these times but it's just annoying when it becomes a regular thing.

The last thing I have to say is towards the people whom have worked there for longer than a year; a vast majority of them are really good people.  You will find a few bad people who could care less about anything but most of them are people who care about your job and your life.

idX touts that they are a growing organization when in fact they have recently downsized workforce, consolidated plants and say they do profit sharing and employee bonus programs when in fact they haven't paid out in years. 

Management does share any genuine care for their overall well being of their employees. If they did they would respect and protect their employees with the amount of pressures and hours they place. An account manager, making 40k a year shouldn't be on calls and emails all hours of the day and night. 

Lastly, the senior management excludes themselves from the review process and are not held accountable for their actions. They each play their cards against one another and talk behind each other's back. I think even the Senior Director of Marketing and the overall VP of Operations are married. Nepotism much?

What is the best part of working at the company?
They are understanding about taking time off and will work with you to insure you don't get a point if you have to miss.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nepotism out the wazoo. The plant manager's brother and brother in law work there and just stand around watching people while you're constantly being told to work harder as you're already drenched in sweat running a machine at the highest speed possible.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Favoritism. People will spread rumors if they even remotely think you're outworking them. Grown men in their 50s and 60s running their mouths behind your back acting like pre teen schoolgirls.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long, short breaks, being overworked until there is no work and then you're expected to fix night shifts screw ups. Which you also get a stern talking to over.

Idx use to be a family type business then went corporate. Then became a commodity. Being bought as an investment by other organizations that only cared about increasing profits unrealistically.
Causing Idx to cut expenses to maintain certain margins, laying off people who were part of what made them invest in the first place.
I truly hope that was the reason my position was eliminated & not
that I was of a certain age.  Though it deal feel that way.  Idx celebrated my 20 yrs of service with a plaque 2 yrs later it was celebrated with 6 weeks severance. Which was basically my 5 wks vacation pay plus 1 week. I know senior mgt has to do as the board directs. Its a shame idx went corporate it was a fun place to work.

Work is very easy and repetitive, however, management plans very poorly, so they will always rush you.  There is little to no chance of ever moving up to another position unfortunately, regardless of how well you perform. You might get up to a 5% raise at the end of each year, which can be around 75 cents if you are lucky. New employees are often paid more than employees who have worked there a long time.  If you work full time, you are given roughly 10 days total of PTO to be used for either sick or paid leave. Overtime is required most of the year (10h weekdays + Saturdays).

All in all, it's a reliable job if you perform well, but the work is horribly boring and repetitive.

I supported the manufacturing of store fixtures. I was responsible for purchasing raw materials available in the United States and finished products made in China. I was able to change the signage supplier at tremendous savings. I also streamlined the procurement of mirrors so it became a JIT product. This reduced the rate of damage since the mirrors arrived when the order was ready to ship. I worked with the manufacturing team to reduce the number and type of fasteners used in production. I was also able to reduct the cost of outbound freight by consolidating shipments.

I worked for this company for almost 3 years and was laid off due to COVID19. Pay was pretty good and its the most flexible office I've worked at in regards to hours. If you did your work and met your deadlines, management was more than happy to accommodate you if the standard 9 to 5 didn't work for you. Our office was very close knit and we all worked together to achieve our goals. Some of the goals were a bit tight, but we always found a way to do it..however, it did make things a bit stressful at times.

Typical day is that your manager does not even say good morning, if there is a problem he does not come to you he goes above you or better yet he says nothing to me as to what is wrong.  Manager that does the hiring has favorites and they can do no wrong.  Hardest part of this job was doing something and having someone else doing the same job and I don't get the respect.  I learned how to not treat the employees.

This job was one of the most challenging positions I ever accepted and took on. 
I take pleasure in being able to turn the Shipping Department and Order Fulfillment around, from a team who made many errors and were not seen as incompetent to a competent dependable team.  
My only disappointments are that I may have worked myself out a job, by helping to develop a competent team and creating processes and procedures for all three department, Shipping, Order Pulling and Inventory Control and  creating written Employee "Duties & Responsibilities", the department was competent enough to be ran by the leads.

The title says it all, I gave them 7 years and my answer was always yes, I worked more hours than necessary, done anything and still was only given the standard 3% increase every year; which typically equated to roughly 15 cents give or take. Unsafe equipment, untrained management, policies changed like light bulbs due to Human Resources turnover rate; they didn’t follow a corporate policy model they just let the new hr rep write their own. I don’t think I have the time nor the willpower to go into detail about how absolutely horrible this company is to work for; I would recommend fast food before I sent anyone to this place for a job.
