Kleen Test Products

Worked for the company for a number of years, ocassionally the rare positive supervisor made it a little better, but they usually don't last long when they pop up. Decisions from the top down are made without any working knowledge of how their equipment runs, or any consideration or input from the people who actually work with the products. Was originally hired for 40 hours a week, but found myself being required to do closer to 70, mandatory over time with disciplinary  action taken for missing time. Within a year I was top 2 operators for the shift, getting paid less money than the new hires I was training. Things got switched to 12 hour shifts and less days, but the shifts were rushed and people are not properly trained, leaving most of the responsibility  on the backs of whoever knows the most, and no extra compensations or considerations are made when going the extra mile. It was easy to make decent money if you could grit your teeth,get through it, and do over time, but with overtime now being not allowed, and shifts being a standard 12 hours with only a 30 min lunch break and 15 min close to the end of the day, most staff just sort of turn their brains off by lunch to survive until they clock out.  Managers will often flirt or skip out for food in favor of performing responsibilities,  and are quick to punish employees for following their example. This was my experience on night shift; it's possiblethings are different on other shifts.t

No one there knows what they are doing, if you have an issue it won't get solved. If there are problem employees they stay a problem nothing gets solved. If you don't bow down and suck up to certain management you will be made to pack constantly instead of doing your job you were hired for. Most of the time there isn't enough people there to run 1 line on 2nd shift unless 1st stays and 3rd comes in early. The whole place is a giant joke. They care of the quality of the products they put out. They are only worried about their numbers. No advancement is pretty standard as a qa, and when you do move up the raise is pathetic for what you're expected to do and learn. They are one of the paying companies around. You can earn more working in fast food and have way less stress!!! Do yourself a favor and run far and fast away from this company. If you want a good job go to Amazon they are an amazing company to work for, the 40 minute drive for me is so worth it for all the benefits you get as an employee. 

A typical day at Kleen Test products was arriving at work attending the meeting for second shift which we always addressed safety and introduced any new employees joining the team. Then after the meeting I would go to the line I was working that day and make sure the date code was correct for the day then make sure the right page was up for the packers on the line to know how the boxes needed to go in the box. After that give the machine operators the ok to start running the product and record the start time. Then after that every hour I conduct a check on a box from the skid to check the product to customer specifications for the dryer sheet or color catcher being made if anything was out of spec I would inform the machine operators and they would have to fix it and I would do a re check to make sure it was meeting the specs set forth by the customer. When I had extra time in between checks I would help on the line with packing or box making or the skidder with putting the boxes on the skid provide water and/or bathroom breaks when necessary.

I worked for KTP from Jan 2011-March 2012. I was hired in directly thru the company as a compounder which was a new position at the time, mixing chemicals for Clorox wipes.  The pay was good for me-$14.50 per hr, but for the line workers and operators the pay was terrible. I was making more than people that had been there 20 years! Place was unorganized, and they had different employees every cpl weeks because they use temp services. If you don’t have teeth and haven’t showered in awhile, you will fit right in! It was like they would take a bus to the homeless shelter and ask who needed a job! The shift supervisor on 2nd was an older guy who was always hitting on the younger girls.-a real creep!  First shift was a lady who was under qualified but had been there 20 years. Plant manager was an idiot. This place sucked and I was so happy to find something way better! I currently make $23 per hr. The jobs are out there folks, just have to want to find them! If your ok with making enough money for beer and cigs this will be perfect for u

The days were relatively random, mostly depending on demands and orders. The most regular thing was making sure our product and machinery was up and running meanwhile passing the QC checks. I learned very little at no fault of the company, I went in knowing most of the necessary requirements. Management could have been a bit more attentive to the employee's, but it wasn't something that gave a negative feeling on any given day. My co-workers were the highlight of the days going in. Highly helpful, friendly, great personalities, and a productive crew when together. The hardest part of the job was not getting recognition for hard work or doing another job outside of your area. The most enjoyable part of the job were the great people I was surrounded by day in and day out.

A typical day on second shift composed of simply identifying your work load for the evening, depending on how many samples the lab had received, and prioritizing based on time capable of completing your tasks. This would range from filtering samples and plating them, to weighing out and diluting them followed with an enrichment that would later be streaked for a more sensitive test. The hardest part was knowing that you need to do what is necessary to complete your tasks, which could mean coming in early, staying late, working weekends, and holidays as well depending on client needs. The co-workers are fun and enjoyable to work with. They keep a positive attitude. Management gives little compensation to individual efforts and does what is necessary to provide to the clients at the expense of the employees. I learned unique microbiology techniques and knowledge that I can take with me and utilize in my career.

I enjoyed working for Kleen  Test  Products. So many changes were made that they did not seem to care about there employees any longer. They promised.so much to there employees but when you ask about them they changed there story. The daily job could last anywhere from eight to twelve hours per day.I did learn a lot from working at KTP  but it seemed like they did not want to help you advance. Management  does not come out of there offices very much to see what is happening on the production  lines. The most enjoyable part of the job is all of the different people  you get to meet.

A typical day was pretty chill. Mainly packing and boxing things. Sometimes you do work super hard. No issues there. I dont think i learned anything there. Management is meh. Could be better but not bad. Workplace culture is alright. Nothing crazy. Normal work environment. The hardest part of the job was working with the less intelligent people or the ones that dont speak english at all. The most enjoyable part of the job had to be packing the sanitary wipes. Cant complain there. I would recommend the place its just low pay and little benefits. They arent strict or mean from what i saw. One thing to keep in mind while applying is the fact they don’t let you have drinks. Only in the break room. Breaks aren’t much so you are left dehydrated. 

i learned a lot of new things such as the filler and the labeler . get to work do our saftey routine get put into our positions on the line run the line go on break come back n finish the night off on the line . co-workers were really good except a few that refused to do work. i got fired due to an incident that had occurred between me n another co-worker and some words were exchanged but as a temp to hire i was the one that was supposidly in the wrong when a lead person was allowed to stand there in curse at me in front of the supervisor and that lead is still this is a bad company . they say that they are a fair company but overall their really not

My time and position at this job gave me a lot of opportunity and growth. I made a lot of good friends here and its a job that keeps you busy.

Same token though inventory is a mess. Some workers aren't help accountable for their actions, and the older men on the floor can be rude and look down on the opposite gender.

A personal experience that I encountered was a mistake that HR couldn't or wouldn't provide me with my insurance paperwork after I caught an error on my records. NO ONE WAS COOPERATIVE in helping me solve this problem.

All in all though it is a great place to work if you like keeping busy and working hard. Great if you want serious training on a forklift.
