Interplastic Corporation

A Typical Day at Work:
No two days are exactly the same, which is one of the things I enjoy most about working at IP Corporation. My role allows me to partner with leaders across multiple business units, support hiring initiatives, work on strategic projects, and help drive organizational growth. The work is fast-paced, collaborative, and provides opportunities to make a meaningful impact on the business.

What I Believe I Learned:
During my time at IP Corporation, I've learned a great deal about manufacturing, business operations, and the importance of building strong relationships. I've grown professionally through exposure to different functions across the organization and have developed a deeper understanding of how talent, culture, and business strategy align to drive success.

Management:
Leadership is approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in the success of employees. There is a high level of trust and autonomy, while still providing guidance and support when needed. Leaders encourage collaboration, continuous improvement, and long-term thinking.

Workplace Culture:
The culture is one of the company's greatest strengths. As a privately held, family-owned organization, there is a strong emphasis on relationships, integrity, and doing the right thing. Employees are respected, ideas are welcomed, and there is a genuine sense of teamwork across departments. People care about each other and are willing to step in to help when needed.

The Hardest Part of the Job:
Like any growing organization, priorities can shift quickly, and balancing multiple projects and stakeholders can be challenging at times. However, those challenges also create opportunities to learn, adapt, and contribute in meaningful ways.

The Most Enjoyable Part of the Job:
The people. I've had the opportunity to work alongside talented, hardworking individuals who are passionate about what they do. It's rewarding to see the impact of your work, build strong partnerships across the organization, and contribute to the company's continued growth and success.


This company is extremely cheap they expect you to bend over backwards for customers who are promised things from the salesman even though it actually ends up costing the company money but as far as corporate is concerned the salesman walk on water and can do no wrong. They don't want to hire enough help to make the work realistic and they have a high turnover rate. I worked there for 15 months and in that time went through 6 other warehousemen(which they were only wiling to have 2 employed at a time) so most of the time I was there doing everything by myself. I started at $12 which was low for the work took 7 months to get hired on full time (even though my boss knew he wanted to hire me on full time after only one month and had me fill out all the paperwork then) because HR is a joke. When I did get hired on they wanted to pay me only $14 which I wouldn't accept because I was doing the job of at least 2 people most of the time so after fighting with them for around another month I got them to $16 and was lied to about another raise after 6 months full time so I had enough of the company and quit along with my boss(who wouldn't go back to working there without me). It had potential of being a great job if corporate was willing to change a few things and pay you your worth(since you are handling hazardous and temperature controlled products all the time). Also found out they had to hire 3 guys to replace me so just to show you they were definitely taking advantage of my work ethic.(ridiculous they were willing to hire 3 after I left but wouldn't budge on that issue as long as I worked there.

I suggest this job to anyone who wants to work hard for a short time, make a good amount of money, and gain experience. During this time you will work 10+ hours a day with unexpected Saturdays sometimes thrown on the schedule on Friday, that you have to show up for. The "quality manager" will listen to your suggestions for improvement but do nothing about them. He will lean on you for answers and not lift a finger. Unfortunately the ones who make it more than a couple years in this manufacturing environment have learned how to let frustrations roll off their backs really well but have become very subdued, they expect very little from their leaders. Not everything is bad about this job or company but it requires someone who can maturely react to frustrating situations repeatedly and do a good job regardless, which might hold true for most manufacturing environments. But by frustrating I do not just mean stressfull. I mean you will see a problem occur, make suggestions to fix it simply, then see that problem happen ten more times. 
So sure, take the job, but do not plan to stick with it long term. Your attitude will take big hits the longer you stay. Negativity is contagious. You have a small likelihood of growing past a certain point regardless of how well you do, regardless of how many co-workers and managers are rooting for you, regardless of how much initiative you show. If you want an in to a R&D position apply for one, this job in particular is not a gateway to bigger and better things.

Everyday started at a good start time between 4:30am and 5:30am.  After reviewing the routes and double checking our product matched our BL.  We would load our trailers and secure that product.  Then a Pre trip inspection of the Tractor and trailer was in order to make sure there wasn't anything that need attention. Making deliveries in a timely and professional manner was always the days objective.  Of course following all DOT laws and regulations while doing so.  At the end of each route a post trip inspection was last along with turning any paperwork, money, or information management needed. 
I learned how to be a better employee, team mate, and driver working for NAC. I worked with some pretty good people and never had an incident that couldn't be resolved the same day.  The hardest part of the job was trying to fix or accommodate a situation for a customer that was beyond my control.  Wanting to help fix when sometimes it was out of my hands. The most enjoyable part of this employment was not ever feeling like going to work was a chore or dreadful.  It was easy to get up everyday and know I was apart of NAC's success.

For the most part Molding Products was a good company to work for and a workplace I enjoyed.  Most of the management was interested in sticking to truth and facts, getting the job done safely, and not putting too much "fluff" and useless garbage in your way.  Coworkers were generally motivated team players in my department.  Compensation was fair, and I understand has increased since I left, and the healthcare package was "not great, not terrible" during my time.

Truth be told, I can only find two big things to complain about:
1. Initially, there were more hours of overtime to go around than I actually wanted.  
2. When overtime dried up, I found that not only had my hours been summarily cut with little to no warning, but that I was sometimes driving into work to be met at the time clock by one particular supervisor who would tell me "Don't clock in, nothing for you to do today!  Sorry!" and send me home...

Had the second issue not been happening there is a good chance I would still be working there, and it's really the only reason I had for leaving.

Horrible working conditions and worker moral, management is great when you come in for the interview, please do not buy in that goes away first day of temp employment, don’t forget your work environment, make sure to double check your co work when unloading the tanker cars to vent the lid more than once they have forgotten and nearly caused a explosion that would level the plant, oh and watch the back roll up door on the hot deck after it rains more than once due to the leaking roof I have slipped and fallen, stay hydrated in those hot months also because management is going to check on your well being watch one person fall out after working on the hot deck then instead of being taken to a safe area in the office he fell out once again in the opperators room and hit his head on the breaker location causing a concussion. There are some good workers here but very few.

If you like doing the same thing over and over again for twelve hours a day, putting a hose into a drum, opening a valve, watching a scale go to 485, put stickers on the drum, seal it, and rinse lather repeat, this is the perfect job for you. If you're lucky, you might have to clean up a resin spill (or just look at it the whole shift and leave it for the next guy).

Everything in the plant is coated in a layer of plastic resin. It's ridiculously sticky, it starts to burn once you make skin contact with it, and the only thing that will get it off you or out of clothing is acetone. I've had it literally pull a boot halfway off my foot before just by walking thru it (unavoidable, as I'm pretty sure that's what the plant is made from). Just disgusting. 

Also the management will walk you out if they catch you with a phone, while they carry their phones around the plant like it's no big deal. I'd rather bust my shin on a tow hitch than work here again

Monday/Office-Call Reports, Expense Report, Company Vehicle Maintenance, Warehouse Inventory review, conference call with Corporate purchasing and prepare for travel the remainder of the week. Customer sales calls the remainder of the week to discuss any issues and solicit additional sales opportunities. Local and regional management were great but corporate management was overbearing, obtrusive, and unappreciative. Co-workers were all very capable and great to work with. The hardest part of the job was the continually increasing amount of paperwork and reporting. The most enjoyable part of the job was the customer interaction.

Poor overall organization and planning.  Projects sit on the table for years and are never completed.  Software and hardware is significantly out of date.  Management has no clue how to run a business or even know how to do the job of their employees.  Benefits (PTO) are the worst I have ever seen.  Hopefully you don't get sick or need time off.  Employees are fired and hired like there is a revolving door at Corporate.  It is a me first atmosphere and no team work.  No room for advancement.  Owner is out of touch with reality and does not respect his employees.  Most employees do work hard, but soon realize their efforts do not get noticed and stop trying.

Work-life balance
Work-life balance at Interplastic Corporation is a joke. Don't have a family or life outside of work.

Pay & benefits
My pay and benefits at Interplastic Corporation are satisfactory.

Job security and advancement
In terms of job security at Interplastic Corporation, I think it was ok.

Management
In general, managers at Interplastic Corporation are the worst I have ever had to deal with.

Culture
Collaboration with my colleagues at Interplastic Corporation is wonderful. All the co workers worked together.

Overall
My experience working at Interplastic Corporation was great. Thought it would be long lasting however the management was awful.  Not worth the stress of hearing foot steps coming your way.
