Lignetics, Inc.

Typically break down orders to packages and box products and place on a pallet for shipping with UPS or FedEx. Only thing I really learned there was that management is always changing the way things are done so you don’t really know what’s right or wrong. There is definitely favoritism showed from management. Nepotism was spoken against when I want to get my son a job there and also when another coworker tried to get his son a job. However the yard lead is the brother-in-law to a manager and the yard leads dad works there as well. So like I said there is favoritism showed at this location. The hardest part after working there for a while was going in every day knowing a certain member of management had an out for me because I didn’t conform to their ways of management. You gave me a handbook and now you want me to go against what your company policies are. No thank you. This place does not promote equality meaning not everyone is given equal treatment. The most enjoyable part was leaving that place in my rear view mirror everyday. 

Upper management is fantastic. They honestly care about their employees and team.  If you need anything up the chain, the director is very supportive and helpful. All the  business segments have helpful people when you reach out and ask for anything, IT, purchasing, customer service, finance, doesn't matter. I've been treated with respect and allowed to run my plant without being micromanaged and that means a great deal to me as a person. It's feels good to go to work everyday and know that I am trusted and supported. My on-site team is also great. I enjoy helping them and doing what I can to let them know they are valued and important. The culture here is excellent and I look forward to many years here.

Lignetics is a great place to work with some awesome people. Lignetics is not just individuals but a team. The team here keeps the mood light and enjoyable. Management understands our daily struggles and challenges and helps in any way possible because they have also done our jobs prior. We have had about 4 internal promotions at our plant in the past couple years showing that you can be rewarded for a good work ethic. Our safety culture is ever improving and with a Safety Concern Form process in place it shows that individual's concerns are a priority. Management sets realistic goals so you can feel accomplished at the end of the day. Our plant has a very low turnover rate further proving what kind of culture we strive for. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
There isn't one. This place is a joke. The machines are old and break down all of the time and you waste more time cleaning up pellet messes than you do actually getting the work done.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The machines always breaking down and having to clean up messes constantly.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is dusty, messy and all the company cares about us getting the product made and who cares about the safety of everyone with all the pellets on the floor that people can slip and fall on.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Cleaning pellets and fixing machines.

I love the fast paced environment; it feels like my shift is over in a blink of an eye! My coworkers are always friendly and respectful. I have a lot of flexibility with my work and it's often quite rewarding. I work with plant managers all over the country and receive great feedback about their jobs and employees working with them. Probably the hardest part of my job is working within all North American time zones. Sometimes it's hard to get ahold of certain plant managers quickly. Here's my highlights:
The pay and benefits are great! 
I feel like part of the team. 
The products we're making are eco friendly. 
Everyone is friendly and engaging--non cut-throat mentality--very laid back!

What is the best part of working at the company?
I loved the competitive atmosphere, and the constant strive to beat the previous days record of product output.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Its very physically demanding. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There's a lot more males working then females so I felt the need to constantly show that as a female I could work equally as hard if not harder.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Show up early and on time, ready to work hard a lot of the time with equipment that is very temperamental as well as with people that are temperamental.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You find of get unlimited pto because you can borrow against your pto account.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything. Corporate doesn't seem to have any idea what they are doing. And the last person to try and find/solve problems "left the company" 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Also stressful. Most of your co workers are chill but aside from that everything is falling apart and done completely backwards. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Either way to busy or way to boring. No in between.

They make you think you're important, doing a good job, like you and your job matter then eliminate you and your position like you were trash. Pat you on the back one day throw you out the next. End result, destroy your self worth and sense of security. Favoritism of the chosen few was obvious to everyone. One employee can put hands on another and not be repremanded but end up promoted. Employee turnover was something I have never seen before as was management!! 

At first it seemed like it would be good but then you see how fast people quit.. so there's room for advancement and promotions however they do not treat people fairly. The manager doesn't know or understand the different jobs at the mill so expects way too much and is very unprofessional in day to day decision making. They hire new people with no experience and pay them the same or more than the people that have been good long term employees. The training there is on par with the worst I've ever seen even on jobs that could be dangerous.. and so much more negative things I could list.

They claim to be so environmentally friendly when that is the farthest from the truth, literally running oil and other toxins right onto the ground, they don’t care about the employees if your not an asskisser you don’t matter. Also if you do t play along with the gossip and drama they will fire you cuz you don’t fit in seen it happen. Management is probably some of the worst leaders I have seen in a leading role! Hands down they put up a good front but are clueless or just don’t care one of the 2.
