Constantly understaffed. Incompetent management. This place is a poorly managed, favoritism based, nightmare of a work experience.  Promises of 4, 12 hour work days a week is a lie. You will work 5 or 6 12 hour shifts a week no matter what. You will not be given raises for learning new skills or for time served.  There is absolutely no compassion in this company for illness or family emergencies. From the moment you begin your employment you will be fed lies and false promises. The plant manager will pretend to be a caring employer and stab you in the back whenever it's convenient. No help is given from upper management and you will have to rely on other employees in order to understand your job.  Understand this... You are nothing but a body to this company, another check mark on a long list of others who had enough sense to run screaming from this travesty of a company.

I should have avoided this place from the moment my interviewing manager was on their phone during the interview.  While I was there I worked in the office trying to help out the sales team. From day 1  they couldn't tell me precisely what my job was and what it consisted of. The best way to put it was that this job had the title of potential growth but it was just a secretory job. I ended up leaving abruptly when I discovered after that my manager was hiring someone else for the position I had been covering. My issue was not that it was done,  but in the manner in which I found out the information. I had to bring up the topic to my manager after they had been avoiding meetings with me through previous months.   Overall, I felt like I had no support. If my manager could plan to replace me without explain the why then I was better off going somewhere else. 

Management is terrible, they do not make any decision unless there is someone they can blame for that decision.  They do not listen to employees for any kind of advice.  They will not back up what they tell you. They want you to work 60 plus hours a week while they show up 45 or less to collect a paycheck.  If you need to find them for whatever reason they can be found on their phone (facebook) in their office or walking around on their phone. I have learned a lot from this job, the downside of that is I had to learn it on my own with very minimal help.

Miss lead me into believing others things but you don’t find out the truth into you get hired. They have have a saying that this company was built on the competitors best sales reps and let me tell you it’s so true. They put me on the sidelines until I was let go from their two at will year agreement when I wouldn’t give up any information about where I worked at before and how they did things. Again you don’t see these things into your hired, I will not recommend what happen to me to anyone in this world. Very bad experience in my 27yrs in this market.

You have no time for anything outside of work. You can be notified you must work weekends last minute Friday. Production orders can be changed last minute then they ride you, asking if the order is done. Management does nothing helpful for employees. Getting paint out the door is more important then the lives, or health of the employees. No raises. They graciously give you a cost of living increase once a year but no other raises for time served. Routinely threatened to have lunch and breaks taken away.

The pay and benefits were slightly above average for location. I would not of accepted this  job if I had known I could easily be replaced by a family member.  There is no job security if you are not in the loop.  I was basically hired temporarily but was not aware until I was laid off.
When I started the office work was extremely behind so I had to bring everything up to speed. Then they brought in a family member who I trained. Then shortly after that I was laid off.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It is a family owned company.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Un-supportive management, more about who you are than resolving the problems at hand . 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Rather stress full and click ish 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
In an office with several people where only one or 2 are expected to answer the phones

This is a good job for the money , but the stress and the chemicals you are around at all times should be taken.into consideration before deciding your employment. 

I worked for this company for two years and communication is awful anytime management can benefit from a rule change in their favor that is what they do without warning.  Hours are terrible and they change without notice as well.  You have no real freedom to do your job correctly because the atmosphere is prone to change at the drop of a hat.

Ifs coatings is a workplace that values their management over their workers more than anything. If you have a family I would not recommend working for this company, furthermore the ideal of favoritism is prelavent in the workplace there.
