Logoplaste

Was here for several years in a professional specialist capacity that saw many aspects of the business. Corporate management does not care about employees (especially production teams, sadly) and do not seem to allocate sufficient resources to teams to support the rapid US growth. 2020 was a record setting year for the company's profit. Yet, leadership awarded employees with a 1% raise in a year with a 7% cost of living increase (a -6% year-to-year pay adjustment for most employees!) People are overworked and not supported properly. Logoplaste has a higher than industry average (40%) turn over rate and it's felt during operations. It's a revolving door here. The few long timers left say the company culture has been in decline recently. Logoplaste has changing ownership and it still has not settled. This means the bean-counters (accounting/finance) run the show until ownership is settled and company focus is back on operations, not financial statements and cost cutting. No real cohesive company culture here AT ALL. Feels lonely working here. You'll suffer alone. Most departments were already short-staffed; now Logoplaste is implementing LEAN manufacturing practices to try to cut costs. For employees this just seems to mean that you'll have a "lean" paycheck for your labor. COVID has made it difficult for corporate HQ management to stay in touch with operations, as most of them are based in Portugal and travel is limited. There is potential here, but it's being squandered. Leadership needs to wake tf up and stop the leaks, you guys seriously suck. Until this is resolved and there are changes, seek other competitive opportunities; don't get used by this company.


COMPANY: Very poor leadership priorities. They have fancy marketing graphics and videos yet many of their production plants are dirty, disorganized, and poorly managed. The US workforce has very high turnover rates, and is full of burnt out employees at many locations. Bad morale and sentiment among floor workers and office staff.

WORKPLACE: Many Logoplaste plants have been on probation/support programs with their major customers and partners for several YEARS now. How is that acceptable from leadership? They do not meet their production promises to their customers. Embarrassing. Nothing to feel proud about working here. Poorly managed.

PAY: Very high turn over, very low pay, little to no raises, and very stressful environment. Good to start a career and move on to a better company. Overworked staff means you'll get lots of experience as a professional here. But not worth staying and being loyal here! If you are not Portuguese, do not expect to grow or be noticed here. 

WORKING AT LOGOPLASTE: Up front, they promised me lots of growth and a management position but never delivered on it. I was burnt out for a long time when I left. Now, I realize I was taken advantage of. After taking a vacation for a bit, I was able to find a better company that has better wages (31% raise at the new job). I also got a promotion and am not overwhelmed with daily work everyday. I'm now employed with a company that has a culture that rewards dedication and hard work. :)

The company likes to sell that it’s a family company and they are there to help you, but in reality once you mess up, they throw you under the bus and they do not care about how you feel or to help you succeed they rather kick you out the door Then to try harder to keep you . As for the warehouse workers, they are severely underpaid and management is terrible. They say they don’t have enough money for pay raises but upper management is constantly traveling and constantly getting free lunches on a daily basis. Employees constantly complained about the poor management on the factory floor as far as upper management, they claim they are doing everything that they can to help make the factory life better, but this is false and it is all a façade. To some things up they do everything and say anything to get you in the door to work for them but once you are in there, you are treated poorly , and then once you go against the grain, they treat you badly and try to force you out the door with mischievous behavior and childish comments. Oh, another note promotion is easy but only if you are the click, the same people get promoted into bigger positions all the time  And upper management rarely changes. 

Horrible management that only got there because daddy was management first. Maintenance get unlimited smoke breaks and never fix things or tell you "What do you expect me to do about it" and when they do fix something its LITERALLY fixed with duct tape and zip ties. Management has no concerns for safety because it doesnt pertain to them, who are sitting in offices. When good employees bring up concerns about safety and policy issues they are completely ignored and they start working hard to get that person fired. While the lazy workers reap the riches because they fly under the radar causing the safety and policy concerns. Nobody gets any formal training. They train a person for 2 weeks not even working the schedules they are going to work once put on there shift so they dont get the proper training of what to expect in a 12 hr shift but throw them on a line and expect them to learn on there own.

I currently work for Logoplaste.  I have been with the company for several years and have seen the decline in the care for employees.  I saw a review that said 1% increase, nope at an operational level that was 0% increase.  Inflation is making it so people cannot live.  I have seen managers come and go, I think we only have a few plant managers who are long time and our HR Manager and for the life of me cannot understand why they stay.  I see so many people getting promoted getting raises and they are usually the ones who are not invested in the people of Logoplaste, those of us who have been here and dedicated get no recognition, nothing.  They need new fresh people it seems and it is declining our culture.  People work and struggle and the uppers get thier raises thier bonuses but they continually change for the lower level managers and employees.  I cannot believe what I am seeing, I am looking to leave as are many others.  I hope to see something better happening before I find a new role as no one wants to start over.  

The work is easy and the job is steady. There is always something more to do. Operators spend the vast majority of their time observing bottles as they exit the machines. Quality is the utmost priority in this regard.

Overall operations are a train wreck. The plant operates on a "Run until failure" philosophy. When that failure point is reached the machines are quickly repaired by any means necessary to continue production.

There is almost no opportunity for upward advancement for anyone who is not actively padding managements egos. The leadership is sorely lacking and there is no established training systems of any kind that are specific to the facility. Those that are in a favored position with them are incapable of making mistakes and forgiven for every infraction and violation that they commit regardless of severity.

It's steady and reliable work. A good break in point for manufacturing in general and a wonderful place to learn more about plastics and plastic manufacturing. They will not reward you in any way for going above and beyond your assigned duties. Pay rates and raises are also disappointing at best.

I enjoyed the work in a sense, a bit hectic but it was less about the actual work and more about how everyone interacted with each other. Managers dictate from the office and most of the employees put task off until it was time to go. The lead had obvious favorites but there was some helpful people in the lab and sparsed around on the floor.  Sometimes instructions aren’t clear but it’s a loud environment. The machines run themselves mostly and the work in engaging with the right approach. But the heat takes a toll at times. If the Lead likes ya then you can at least get in. But I’d be ready to hustle, communication is key and don’t expect nobody to save you if they need a to shift the blame.

(Kansas City Plant) "The so called "Training" there is a joke... unlike most businesses there's no consistently thourough training regiment or standard protocol in regards to the training practices...  the SAP system that was implemented months ago regularly fails and causes constant issues.. I witnessed a substantial amount of incompetence and lack of critical knowledge and  interest in developing employees with potential.. especially from the so called " Management " core...  Shift to shift  Communication was the worst I've ever been involved in.. The Logistics behind daily operations is very poor... No one wants to take true accountability for recurring mistakes or take time to develop necessary contingency plans that should've been in place as precautionary measures...  or put the real bottom line core issues within the company on the table to be presented and worked out effectively"... I could go on...

When I was working at Logoplaste in 2020-2021 as a machine operator it was a great environment to work in. The plant is not to hot in the summer when it’s hot outside. The supervisor and managers do a good job helping on the floor if we get behind.   I have never seen managers pack lines to help out but they do at Logoplaste. Safety is very important to the managers and supervisors. The brakeroom has a big sign reminding us to be safe. The plant looks great and is very clean. The office people are understand if time is needed for appointments. The break room and bathrooms are clean. 

If you are in good with certain people or have a certain manager you are promoted and given raises and extra bonus's.  So many changes recently and hiring of highe level positions which we all know means big checks and they get their big bonuses they make sure of it.  Inflation is hurting everyone from food prices, gas so many struggles for those who are not plant manager or higher but they do not care.  Do not train for us to move up.  Managers are not forthcoming especially in corporate office.  How many reviews or outcry's do they need.  How many people quitting do they need.  It is coming and let me say until you pay for good employees and care that they can feed their families you will see people leAve.  Managers lie their way up the ladder.
