Overall, this isn't a bad place to work, as long as you're in the right department. Let me break it down for you, powder coat 1 & shelf fab are a joke! They're extremely understaffed, all the time. No one sticks around long enough for them to be able to actually get fully staffed. Therefore, that's just added work on those who do stay, which typically causes a more stressful work environment. However, this also means if job security is important to you, you're set. They also work ot every week (9 hr days, sometimes 6 hrs on Saturdays) so more money. The other production departments really aren't bad. They're smaller in comparison to the first 2 i mentioned, so usually they're fully staffed, or close to, and pretty stress-free. Ot is required every now & then but not too much. Just come in, do your job and you'll be fine. Shipping, the shipping department honestly is where it's at for this company. The work environment is much more laid back, easy to work in & relatively stress-free. It's pretty team-oriented in that you'll always be able to find someone to help you out with anything you could possibly need, big or small, and they truly don't mind doing it, but at the same time you work independently filling the orders they pass out to you. There has been, and is continuing to be, a lot of changes to the structure of the management hierarchy. Some good, some still to be determined, but overall, management is okay. Benefits are really nice! Very good coverage especially for the very low cost. Lowest I've ever paid at any job, and still covers the most very very nice. Pay is average, not great but not horrible. However, they have given at least 5-6, maybe more pay increases in the past 2 years or so, ranging from $0.25-$3.00 each time plus you get your normal company provided raises the longer you stay, so the pay is definitely improving as time goes on. 

I applied and was hired for a dual role position, which I was not compensated for adequately.  After being employed for 2 months my main position was drastically reduced due to needs of the other employees in my department.   They were allowed to work from home,  which left the office unmanned.  I was needed to pick up their slack leaving me unavailable to perform the duties of my primary job. I  was never given any clear direction or guidance as to when or if I would be going back to my primary position.   I was forced into the secondary position without it ever being discussed with me.  I voiced my opinion several times but to no avail.  You do what you are told to do at Lozier or someone will call Omaha and tell on you.  Finally the COVID virus runs through this place unchecked.  I was left alone multiple times to run a 3 person office because the others either had COVID or were on quarantine waiting their results.  By the grace of God I never got it and boy was I exposed to it daily.

Lozier was an amazing place to work when I first started. The old management saw my potential and capitalized on my skillet while offering equivalent reimbursement. The plant manager got walked out for expressing the truth about situations rather than supporting a lies and working a month of that, all the upper managers left off their own accord. Or complete HR department walked out, out safety coordinator walked out. Then the company announced a transition into 1 building and then started firing people or decreasing their pay by 5-6 dollars an hour. I am not sure what happened, but things such as these and one day letting go of their entire quality department goes to show that they do not currently live their “people matter” core value. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed my first two years working there, but into my third year all the things I saw going on prompted me to put in my two weeks and seek other employment.

I always stay positive and show up to work on time and have great attendance. There's great advancement opportunities and good benefits if you're hired in. I work hard and take pride in my work, but I just needed more money but the pay is very fair. I'm management material and I show it in everything I do which seemed to go unnoticed. I put brackets on shelves and stack the shelves on skids for shipping. Altogether it's a great job, but for me just starting off back in society I really need more money. That's why I'm looking for a part-time job or a better paying job closer to home. I'm always broke two days after payday. I don't expect them to move me immediately to a job someone else who has been there longer deserves. Just need to get on my feet. Can't expect them to give me special attention.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very stressful! No one would help you if you wasn't their buddy or a butt kisser. The new employees were constantly being cussed out and yelled at for the smallest mistakes that could easily be fixed and you were expected to get just as much production out as someone that was there for 10+ years. Needless to say they had an extremely high turn over rate while I was there. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in, get put on a job, be cursed and yelled at for the most stupid things like asking a question or asking for help for 8 hours, clock out and go home.

Lozier was a very good place to work. They have a great HR department and good managers and supervisor. Job stability is good but advancement is limited. It is very hard to transition for seasonal to full-time employment as there are no real guide line and the decisions are made by individual supervisor feeling on how well you perform. It is a union job  ( for what that  worth). The culture is very conservative and slow to change. I will say that my co-worker were very friendly and welling to do their share. They all took pride in their jobs and most of them had worked there for a very long time ( 10 or more years ).

Typical management issues that make you wonder how these people were hired to leadership positions in the first place. Company is making attempts to communicate better overall but day-to-day communication is awful. Pay is decent for the area but still not enough in today's time and corporate will not move pay or benefits forward but they will hike up your insurance rates every chance they get and what insurance actually covers is almost insulting especially if you have family with health issues. Half the people i've spoken to about Lozier will ask "who" when you say you work here and the other half will say "oh i'm so sorry" if that gives you an idea of what the whole town thinks of this place.

The HR Assistant and Receptionist positions at the Scottsboro Plant 1 have a high turnover rate.  There is a reason for that.  The people in those positions are the “whipping boys” for the HR manager.  I managed to last two years but only because I’m tough and patient.  If you can handle a hostile work environment and being verbally abused on a regular basis, then this is the job for you!  The pay is decent but honestly not enough to compensate for the verbal abuse and bullying I received on a nearly daily basis.  It’s a shame because that facility has a lot of potential.

Closed minded family ran business. The company has a false sense of itself in that it thinks it is bigger than it really is. This leads them to believe that their buying power is on par with car manufacturers. They have no respect for the lives of the workers and the group in the main office view the people in the plants as being lower than them. The company lacks vision and is currently being ran by borderline incompetent people as the owner is beginning to hand over the reins. It is not very diverse and most promotions are based on relationships and not ability.
