Klöckner Pentaplast

Klockner Pentaplast of America is a Rigid Plastic Film maker with many locations through the world.  From my stand point (Quality Assurance Coordinator (QA), I had the opportunity to work with all plants located in the United States preforming internal audits and writing and approving procedures.  Working for the Global Quality Assurance Director, I had great opportunities to work on Corrective Actions letters, Root Cause Analyst, and a host of other duties.  
The organization is divided in to three division within the United States.  Duties for my position covered all three divisions.  This allowed me chance to work across company lines to ensure the success of the quality assurance department.
The inability to work closer with the production team did create issues, however; the Quality Control (QC) team did cover the plant but not in the same manner as the QA team did.  Both teams had their own goals and directions, both achieved those goals as requested.    QC worked with the employees within the plant to ensure the product was produced correctly and no product departed from the plant without meeting the customers’ requirements.

The Good definitely outweighs the Bad by a ton! Honestly, only bad I think, is the swapping of day & night shift! It is hard, it's a schedule that takes some getting used to! But it's a great place to be, to work, to stick with, to retire from!! I'm no longer there, had to quarantine at very beginning of COVID/2020,then during that time, schools closed & I just couldn't work with kids home & home schooling! Hated that I couldn't go back, but what do ya do when you have kids?! So, just know I'm saying all this from my wonderful experience at Klockner! I loved it there & if you truly Wana learn & move up & make more $,.... Work hard & show em what you got, show em you've got heart in it & you'll love it too! Promise! 

Cannot trust anyone at that place. If you aren't part of their little click, including the HR manager, you better watch your back. They do not help you progress and learn new things and they have a point system and if you have a medical issue it still doesn't matter you will be terminated because of points. Unless you say you have covid and then no points or questions asked...not even for proof!! But their friends can leave work for a week because their child is on spring break and not get any points at all. Not a fair place to work. The pay is nice but the 12 hour shifts flipping and flopping from days to nights is impossible to get used to. 

This is not a job for a married person. Four on, four off sounds great at first but you will be exhausted after 12 hours. Most managers are incompetent and are only there to help themselves. No one in the building is looking out for your wellbeing. If you get hurt, they will find a way to make it seem like it is your fault so they can get rid of you with no repercussions for them. Pay is decent, but don’t look for any upward mobility. They like to train people to do work that is above their pay grade but find excuses to not give them the money they deserve. The best part of the day is the 3 30 minute breaks you get.

I only worked as an Intern of IT but was not locked to a help desk. I had full Network Admin rights and abilities, and was given tasks that were geared toward helping me learn. Projects and tasks varied greatly and I was used in a flexible role assisting multiple sites. 

The company trusted me to allow me to travel and work either autonomously or closely with my boss, who spent a great effort in ensuring I was learning as much as possible.

4 days on and 4 days off is not all its cracked up to be. Your feet will hurt so bad your need 2 off just to recover. The management team is full of dishonesty when it comes to advancement in the company.  You can complete all steps to promotion and not be compensated accordingly.  You will be placed in an "acting" position to have you doing the work of the next level up but not receive the pay. Some managers have no clue how to do the job, and others have no clue how to manage staff.

The people you work with are great, they truly are like family. Everyone helps when they can. Same as anything some days things can be pretty laid back and others can be very stressful.  Pay and benefits are good as well. That being said they’re understaffed, but management says they’re fully staffed.  people are always working alone when they shouldn’t be, doing the job of 2 people everyday gets old quick. Winter time isn’t bad, but summertime in there it’s beyond hot! You sweat in places you didn’t even know you could. 
Bottom line, I wouldn’t recommend working there.

Please hear my advice, this company is bad news! There is only room for advancement for people who fit into a certain group. The managers and higher-ups are very vindictive. People are always being injured due to their focus on production versus safety of employees. If you speak up about safety issues then prepare to wear a target. This is not a healthy productive work environment.

They cheat you out of your base pay rate. Understaffed ,  at work more than home with family. When you are home, you try to catch up on sleep. Rotating shifts for some that's not fair when others have set shifts. Hours too long to be in an environment  of 88-112° temperatures. With 3 small breaks if you're lucky. I could go on but think that sums it bout up. Walmart pays bout as much as I do and I've been there almost a year.

I have been working in the Gordonsville site and have seen a number of changes over the last several years. The company does work on improving the situation in the plant, they are heavily focused on safety and quality of the product. 

However, personnel levels have been the largest pain point in the organization. The recent leadership team has been working on improving the situation along with making the company a better place to work.
