Laminate Technologies

I would caution anyone from accepting a job with Lamtech at any level without first conducting their due diligence. Lamtech is a poorly run company starting with aloof detached “C” level ‘leaders” and those in critical Director level positions; they possess a general lack of operational understanding and are more concerned about the “way it has always been done” verses taking meaningful or creative approaches to operations and growth.
Critical Director level positions are filled by individuals that have neither the leadership skills or the intellectual capacity or competence to drive the company forward. The poor leadership is displayed throughout a corporate culture that resembles more of a middle school boys locker room than a professional company; false posturing for importance, juvenile communication both written and verbal, lack of ownership and follow through on tough issues, and a general absence of substance and professionalism throughout the organization.
Lamtech has a few experienced, engaged, strong leaders hired from outside the company trying implement fresh initiatives and do the right thing however their efforts are often stifled by those throughout the company that are either threatened by these ideas or lack the competence to understand the change.

Got hired in 2016.  Was a great place to work until 2018 when a new supervisor was hired to replace the original supervisor that retired.  After the new supervisor came in, so many promises were made.  However, trained on multiple machines, worked in several different areas no raises as promised.  Never had ample time to sign up for health insurance.  Had one night to make benefit elections because this company couldn't get their act together and meet with BCBS earlier in the year to review benefit packages.  They push people to the point where mistakes are made and employees are getting hurt multiple times.  made team lead and manager aware of machines not working properly, nothing was done until an employee got hurt and had to have surgery and was out for three months.  When this employee returned, he was treated very rudely but the main supervisor and by the director of HR.  Best advise is to avoid this company and go work somewhere else.  You will not be treated with respect and you will be lied to on a daily basis and you will not see a bump in pay despite the number of jobs you do there or learn.  The best thing for this plant in Gallatin is to be closed because the management team has no idea how to run a plant successfully.

LamTech faces significant challenges stemming from unprofessional corporate leadership. Reactive, emotion-driven decision-making hinders growth, stifles innovation, and obstructs the development of efficient processes. The plant has experienced frequent turnover among plant managers, primarily due to a corporate environment that lacks clear strategic direction—wavering between aspirations of a structured corporate entity and the informal operations of a small business.
Throughout my career, I have never encountered a company where hourly employees are empowered to dictate the actions of a plant manager, nor one that fosters a culture in which leadership is only accepted as long as it aligns with a singular, unquestioned viewpoint. This approach creates instability, discourages progress, and ultimately undermines long-term success.

"All about the employees" Whole bunch of lies

The location i worked at lost 2 long standing managers one was the plant manager, they were lazy and didnt know what they were doing anyways. The people in the office will screw you over any chance they get, the organization within this company is almost non-existent. Some managers are still clueless as to what needs to be done. The way the pay structure is you get paid the 1st and 15th of the month, i would have 105 hours on my check and NO OVERTIME. What a way to screw your employees over. 401k after 1 year, medical benefits suck. Some employees had been working there for 5+ years and not seen a raise.

This place is a nightmare, for pretty much any position. HIGHLY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Worst company I have ever worked for . Worst manager (if you want to call him that) I have ever had. Their is never any positive feedback. The training is terrible. The pay is not industry standard. The software is very dated. Their is no inventory control. Their is no logistics planning. There is no communication between departments. Also, numerous safety callots . The warehouse is filled with sawdust. Forklift drivers drive extremely fast and there is no lane set for them. No pedestrian walkway. This place (Gallatin, TN) is garbage! 

I worked at LamTech Gallatin for 4.5 years. Never have I experienced working with such a well rounded team. Every member brings a different outlook and approach to every obstacle. The Plant manager has the ability to challenge your potential while never micromanaging. The vacation packages are a big incentive. Every time I was promised a reward for hitting a goal or accomplishment, it was followed through. The work can be stressful, but anything you do with all your heart, can be. The days can be long, just like anywhere else but this team made it all worth it. 

This company and my position are something I've been looking for in a business for a very long time. The way things are running and if I am EVER confused about why I am doing something, it's explained very well to my understanding. Over all I am grateful to work for suck a great company and the HR director and plant manager are very thankful and appreciative for every effort you put into working daily. I feel like I have found a work place to call home and the growing opportunity is endless. I love what I do and the people I work for. Every day you are learning something new that will help you out in the future. The hardest part about my job would be terminations which we all dislike due to any circumstances.

If you have a life not after working here. 12 hr shifts 4 days a week and 10 hrs on Fri. The hiring manager is a joke . If you're looking for a place that only cares about the production and working you until you are drained then apply. It would be a decent place to work if it weren't for the management team that drives you into the ground while they sit in the AC demanding more and more ..this company takes , takes and takes and give you no consideration to you as a person. The point system is a joke and you get very little thanks if any. Again RUNNN 

Do you enjoy receiving no training/support and then being expected to excel in your job? Then Laminate Technologies is the place for you! 
Management was inconsistent at best, laughable at worst. Company culture was essentially everybody throwing each other under the bus in order to save themselves. 
No feedback on your performance unless it was negative. The company is also in a constant state of chaos due to no established process/procedures for anything.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing. It was bad. I injured my foot and got tricked into signing something and I got fired and had to pay my own medical bills 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Ragged machines and the overall attitude of the people there 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nobody in the whole place seems happy 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Some sort of cruel and inhumane punishment
