Liquibox

This isn’t my first rodeo in a factory, the work is very simplistic in comparison to other factories I’ve worked for. Many of the negative reviews are stemming from one of two things or both and that’s laziness or self-entitlement (factory work is NOT for everyone). Liquibox provides A/C and Heat (in a closed work environment), they grant you with employee benefits from the get-go {including: A week paid vacation and an emergency vacation day, insurance and 401k/ retirement funding is offered (401k is 5-10% out of every pay check and the company matches it meaning you put in $50 they put in $50 it’s pretty awesome)} (supervisors will also grant you voluntary leave when there are a lot of employees on the floor and not a lot of work to be done). They run on a point system (3 allotted points within your first 90 days and 8 points after, your points will reset after a year to the date you received it) I strongly recommend to not “no-call no-show” if you’re trying to hold your job, you get four paid breaks currently (three 15 minute breaks and one 20 minute break for lunch or whatever you choose to do, you can leave on break but that requires you to clock out and clock back in when you return), there is a cooler with a wide selection of food and drinks (some of them may seem a little pricey but no one will stop you from packing a lunch), the management is nice (can be a little sloppy at times but handle any problems to the best of their ability they’re human too!), Co-workers can be pushy/ rude understandably because work can be stressful (but it’s up to you on how you respond to that, personally I don’t let it affect myself or my work). You’re not getting paid to stand around and talk, you will be required to work no matter how busy or not so busy the day is! (starting wage is $15+ w/ 10 hour work days, time and half after 40 hours, weekends are voluntary and you get paid double-time). Shifts are pretty flexible right now (Third 9p-7a or 11p-9a First: 3a-1p, 7a-5p Second: 1p-11p, 3p-1a, 5p- 3a; I’m sure I missed a few but there are many possibilities just contact HR). Hopefully you’re interested in working here or more appreciative of the company if you already are. Overall I like it here, a few of my friends work here and I’ve made a few more since starting. 

The work itself is simple and not complicated, the bending and twisting can be rather physically challenging, especially the first few weeks and for those with physical limitations or old injuries. Trying to take time off is a struggle, as the company truly believes you should be there every day no matter what. Taking sick time results in disciplinary points, even if you provide a doctor's note and even if you are diagnosed with COVID and required to quarantine. Typical day at work is 8 to 10 hours of putting bags in boxes, that part of the work is fairly simple actually. The management is really not good at communication with employees or each other, and that makes things much more complicated than they need to be, for everything from policies to schedules. Speaking of schedules, it's VERY common to be mandated to work weekends, which can be both Saturday and Sunday, and then if you call off, disciplinary points are given. The culture between employees is hut and miss, there are some really cool people who are helpful and team players, and there are some dramatic divas who get favored by management and make everyone's life difficult. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the back pain and the high school style drama between other employees. The most enjoyable part of the job is that it's fairly simple to do. It is also nice that the place is fully climate controlled, so it never gets too hot or cold. It's okay for a short term job, but the turnover here is super high for a reason. 

After working at Liquibox for more than a year, I believe it is the best job I have had. I actively recommend this job to all my friends who need work. A lot of the people who dislike working for Liquibox just dont like working in general. Liquibox pays well, even for simple packing jobs (with annual raises), vacation time that accumulates with every shift you work, and 401K and Insurance. They hire felons! They also treat you like a person. They give you paid breaks every 2 hours. Also there are constantly new jobs coming open, so there's room to move to other departments and make more money. The work conditions are great, A/C and also they provide stools for workers so if your feet need a break you can sit down and rest while packing. 
The ONE negative is some of the employees are rude. Really only a couple of them. As a lead operator, your job is to fix the machine if it goes down, because packers aren't able to do it. Some leads get rude when asked to do their job. But that isn't a problem with the company because that will happen anywhere. Overall I love this company and all they do for their employees!  Also you can get overtime if you need it--but if not they allow you to give your mandatary overtime to another employee who wants it (as they rotate who gets mandatory OT).

The job offers little to no wiggle room for you and your personal life. Many people here work 12 hour days, they force weekends, you will get a point if you leave for any reason, they expect the world of you but have no answers about how they expect you to live up to their expectations, the pay is awful for how much stress and work you actually have to do, they actively tell you that they'll drop you at any point and that you're replaceable, they show no appreciation for hard work and reward people who don't work hard at all, they took a decent month before they started following protocol for covid based safety because they don't care if you get sick, they change policies by the month which makes it hard to keep track of everything, they'll do anything in their power to explain to you why they are right and you're wrong, it's just a toxic place to work. The people I work with are great and we look after each other's backs and interests, because no one else will. This place could go out of business and I wouldn't even mind. 

I loved going to work every day. I made it fun for myself and people around me, but not everyone likes the class clown. I wasn't trained very good so that made it a struggle. Management on 3rd shift definitely has his favorites usually the ones that don't do anything he protects. If he doesn't like you, he will pick at you until you leave. there's a lot of drama queens they run to management even if you're just joking around. They make everything 100 times worse than what it really is.  If you're a lazy worker and only work a couple days a week they'll keep you. But if you try hard and come to work every day, they'll push you out. The gossiping is the hardest part of the job and the favoritism. It's worse than high school. I met a couple good people there I'm grateful for that. I enjoyed working there and wish i could go back. there's good days and bad days just run with it.
If you get terminated, they keep your last paycheck so don't be expecting that.


Check in to work, get updated by previous shift Quality Control Inspector.  Take clipboard and chart product specs and inform Machine Operators if there is a need to make adjustments to insure quality product.  Perform quality checks on products on an hourly basis or as needed during periods of frequent necessary machine adjustments.  Gave packers breaks during break and lunch periods.  Management was reasonably organized and maintained strict guidelines for employee safety.  Through this job, I learned to be a good troubleshooter and to prioritize my decision making skills in a fast paced work environment.  The hardest part of the job was dealing with machines that occasionally ran bad causing lots of rejected products resulting in mass cleanup.  The most enjoyable part of the job was that I gained a strong sense of achievement after spending countless hours in my effort to help provide good products for the customers.

The job itself is easy. You either deal with the assembly side or the presses. Everyday is different. The pay and benefits are great. The presses are usually falling apart. They either are leaking or throwing parts on the floor.   Don’t ever talk about weekend plans or anything personal. There is an order that they go by to see who works each weekend. The supervisors won’t go by it and make whoever they want to work, work that weekend then not keep the paper trail so you can’t say anything. They do this when they know you have something important going on. They single people out for no reason. Lots of favoritism and jealousy.  They give your personal information away to other coworkers. HR never answers when you need them but will respond when they need you. There are people there who treat you horribly for no reason. There are a few select people that are nice. Wouldn’t recommend anyone just graduating high school to work here. 

Overall this company isn’t bad to work for. The benefits are manageable/not bad priced, as well as a 401k/paid time off/sick days/holidays off. The people who work here are friendly for the most part, sometimes are a little pushy to get you to get it right doing your job. They need more people to work, making it almost impossible to take a sick day or get out early for personal reasoning/family situations. Standing for 8 hours a day isn’t fun, it isn’t very well air conditioned like they claim. Very hot, going to assume it gets very cold in the winter. Breaks aren’t terrible, vending machines a bit overpriced for basic snacks and mediocre deli foods. Management isn’t super amazing, they’re trying to get the place off the ground and what not but aren’t flexible with personal plans during week/letting you get time off.

Workplace culture is one of negativity and stunted psychological growth. No one there has matured past their high school years. HR is (as with ALL corporations) a bad joke and about to get worse with the new implementation in that area. Issues with getting paid correctly is yet another negative. Preparation for and training itself is either non-existent OR BAD, period. Favoritism & Nepotism rule there. Little surprise about the high turnover rate. Being set up to fail consistently will do that with any company and with the forthcoming implementation of the "HR" system, the turnover rate will no doubt soar to greater heights. Perhaps though, it may be just what the new company taking over really wants.  

I was hired as a temporary employee at Liqui-Box Corporation, and was later hired on as a permanent employee. The best part of my experience with the company was how much knowledge I gained about payroll. I had a very supportive manager that was not afraid to step in whenever I needed guidance, but trusted me enough to operate autonomously. The HR team there was a great one that actively practiced open communication and teamwork.

The office environment was a very professional one, but everyone was extremely friendly.

I believe that this company is a great fit for a payroll professional who is confident in their skills and knowledge, who is comfortable with operating independently. Their benefits and compensation package definitely is on-par with the workload you will handle.
