MACtac

A typical day at mactac is just like any other factory for the most part you come in and try and get as much product out the door as fast and efficiently as possible. The people who work there from my experience were great they became a second family for me .I learned a lot working there as i was sill pretty young when i started there and it gave me decent skills going forward after i was let go from there as well.The management was always hit or miss for me anyways the supervisors where i worked in finishing were awesome some of the best guys in there. The hardest part of the job for me personally was getting used to switching between first and second shift every two weeks. Even after working there for about 6 years i still wasn't used to it and it would throw me off just when i was getting used to second shift it was time to switch back to first and vice versa.The most enjoyable part of the job for me was the paychecks and the people i worked with. They pay great for the area after you've been there for a bit and they give decent benefits. They also used to always have overtime available for people who wanted it and it was rarely ever mandatory which was good for me as i didn't always want to work it and as someone with a family it was a plus to be able to choose when i wanted to work the overtime or not. One other thing to mention is that to get jobs in there is based on seniority most of the time unless you know something about that job you're applying for and the other people do not. Took me a while to be able to get out of my starting position because i had no seniority.

MacTac - Pressure sensitive adhesive material (label) manufacturer. 
A mix of newer, old, and antiquated equipment, and technology. 

The Good: 

-You get paid every other week. 
-Health/Dental/Vision. 
-Paid time off, vacation/personal/holidays.
-Monday thru Friday work week.
-Overtime hours

The Bad: 

-Toxic culture (from top down).
-Dysfunctional, Non-inclusive, and disrespectful treatment (add micromanaged). 
-No real leadership, No real communication, No real direction. 
-No real trainers, No real training or orientation (you will need to be self driven). 
-There is no sense of Teamwork. Expect to be on your own, It's every worker for themselves.
-Complacent and lagging safety culture. 
-Very dirty work environment. 
-Overtime hours, voluntary mandatory overtime (Yes, I believe I said that right). 

Conclusion: 
 
If you really want to invest yourself into your job and grow with it, this is not the place.

If you really need a job, then do it. Don't expect to be happy there. 

Overall Mactac is a good place to collect a paycheck and have a day to day impact. If you’re not a self starter, you probably won’t be successful here. There’s also not much room to advance in your career, and there’s tons of long standing employees. I will also echo another review stating that there isn’t much documentation or processes in place that are typical with larger, more successful organizations, likely stemming from a lack of true strategy from senior leadership. If you want a cushy job where you’ll likely never get challenged, this is truly not a bad place- everyone is very friendly and typically helpful. If you’re trying to find a place for long term growth, as of 2024 this might not be the best place for you in the long run. My experience comes from the corporate side and not operations/the bottom line, so take all of this with a grain of salt.

This isn't a terrible place to work if you want a steady paycheck and job security.  If you show up and put forth minimal effort, you'll almost never be fired because the turnover rate is so high (so many people quitting or just not showing up for work).  There isn't a lot of opportunity to advance, other than maybe to a team/shift leader (if you're working on the floor).  And depending on the department you're in, you might have to work A LOT of overtime.  Most of the people there are pretty cool, and most are willing to help out if you need/ask.  Before I left it seemed like the moral was trending in the right direction, so that's a plus.  But this isn't a job you're gonna be excited to get out of bed for.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
They're  always blaming the operators for breakouts when it comes to machines, like to pick and choose who they like or don't like

The management was about the worst I have ever had to deal with , the work wasn't to bad for the money if you could handle the backstabbing , and in fighting amongst the other employees , the lying and laziness by some employees and the managements favoritism along with the insane amount of work to be scheduled when already had to much to do was an every day occurrence, with overtime mandatory made it become a hostile work environment, the upper management was aware of the problems and so was hr but nothing was ever done , new management at all levels would be a good start and then getting rid of the bad attitude and crybabies and lazy people would be a great start to make it gold place to work,

Company focus heavily on mandatory overtime. For example this week the company continued to take customer orders even though we are booked beyond our capacity to produce. 

Most team members have already worked an extra shifts worth of overtime this week yet we are being forced to work Saturday, with the blame being put on the hurricanes down South.

Along with that they arbitrarily decide who you can switch overtime days depending on if that team lead likes a certain person.

Beyond these issues Mactac is ok to work at, just expect to spend a lot of time at Mactac and not so much with your family.
