The assignment of work sets is determined by the cell  coach. They are assigned randomly, but there are times when Operators are required for their experience and/or other skills required. When you arrive at your set, the previous Operator will debrief you on how the set is performing (which machines are working properly or malfunctioning & how best to cope with recurring problems). You will be required to take at least 4 samples for Quality Control and maintain the assigned machines (load  lined boxes, operate the machine and computer when necessary and package and palatalize the finished product).
The hardest part of the job is learning time management in the operation of  multiple machines - especially during a 3-4 way break scenario (On average, an Operator is assigned a set of 4 machines to operate. During a  3-4 way break, when an Operator goes on their break, 2 other Operators will assume control of 2 of the [breaked] Operator's machines, meaning that repeatedly during the 12 hour shift, an Operator will be required to operate 1-3 additional machines. At times,  this can be overwhelming if the  machines are malfunctioning (which is par for the course in any factory setting).\
However, the pay is good and the benefit package is one of the best I've seen. 
To explain the work culture, let me share this true story.
Once after pay  day, I  had a $50 in my pocket. Sometime during my shift, the bill fell out of my pocket. I just assumed it was lost and I'd never see it again. I mentioned it to a few co-workers and my Supervisor. My Supervisor informed me that someone reported finding $50 and was waiting for someone to claim it (they had to know exactly what denomination the currency was in, and the general area the money was lost. I met with the man and explained I lost a single $50 bill that had the initials GM on it. The bill was exactly as I described it and it was returned to me. The next day I offered the finder $10 for returning my money to me - and he refused (in fact, he seemed a bit offended).
These are the type of people employed at MRP!

I have worked for this company for over a year. I have become a trainer and a lead.  Mold Rite does not care about their employees in the least.  All they care about is numbers and making sure the owner can keep his house off the coast of Africa. The mangers do barely anything while the workers kill themselves lifting boxes that are 15-30 pounds over their head sometimes 200 times a day.  The operators do a great job but are continually nit picked.  You get three sick days a year but will only be paid if you have PTO time to cover it.  You accumulate PTO every week you work and its generally 1 hour per week.  There are no paid vacation times or anything like that.  The one thing I will say is the operators do try to help each other out and stick together but it can also be cliquey.   A lot of the operators are not the brightest in the box since there is a very high turnover and I don't think there's really anyone left that hasn't worked there.  They will hire just about anyone at this point. You're standing on your feet for 12 hours a day on concrete so the job will do a number on your body and management and HR could care less because they can sit in their office. You get insurance through the company but it sucks, it takes up a quarter of your salary and you still have to pay a ton of money out of pocket. If you absolutely need a job and can do manual labor this is the job for you.

12 years later...

A typical work day starts as a team with a brief safety meeting before we as individuals break-off to start our roles. For the last 12 years I have had many roles at mold-rite from a production member to a team lead. As of now I am back working on the floor, with a team who focuses on quality control. We work closely with our in-house Q.A., to ensure that the final products we deliver are to the standards of the company. 

Since I have been able to work in multiple departments and held multiple roles I have learned a great deal about the ins and outs of the company and how it works. I have also learned about effective leadership, teamwork, communication and business management skills. 

We thankfully have a great management and HR team who helps run an efficient and professional workplace and work environment. We work as a team and are able to get our tasks done throughout all the departments smoothly. 

The hardest part of the job is the commute at late hours as I live across town and not right near the company. The best part of the job is learning new tasks and developing new skills sets while i work with a team who brings positivity into the workplace. I am thankful for the opportunity that mold-rite has provided and am excited to continue to work and grow with the company.

I work as a machine operator in Molding. The first thing you need to know about is the training. Depending on who you get as a trainer, you'll either have an amazing experience or a terrible experience. For me, it was great. 

After about a week or two of training you're set on your way alone. You get different sets of machines to work with everyday, normally a set of 4 machines.

My biggest issue is the lack out teamwork and help. Instead of one person per set, there should be two sharing the same set. Unfortunately, there isn't enough operators to do this. 

Running a set isn't necessarily difficult, but it can be annoying. You'll find yourself falling behind on some of your machines, machines may stop making caps, boxes will spill over, etc.

Every three hours you're supposed to take a "shot" from your machines. Depending on how fast and observant you are, this can be easy. 


Overall, this job is okay. Nothing amazing but nothing terrible. You may find yourself wanting to try something different in the plant. Luckily for you, there are plenty of positions to apply for.

The turnover rate is staggering. The workload put on new hires is ridiculous. 12 hour work days and pay that is inadequate considering health insurance through moldrite costs about 1/4 of your weekly check . Once you become a " certified" machine operator you are expected to run 2 or 3 machines at once (lining department) which includes filling1-2 hoppers per machine while also restarting the machines every few minutes and taping up boxes of product after scanning them into the lackluster software program. Some cell coaches are good while others are nothing more than the managers pet going out of their way to brow beat you at any moment. No relief operators so you will be lucky to get half hour break for lunch in a 12 hour day. NO RELIEF OPERATORS!!! Very dehumanizing environment to say the least. The pay........smh. Should be $4 more an hour for the workload thrown upon operators.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The place is horrible to work at. Management treats hourly like there trash. They take and take from us. When it was owned by whether head family. They took care of us. Know the technical staff is dropping like flys.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The fact that hourly employees have to do salary jobs and then you ask for more money and the say you don't deserve it but your doing your bosses job and your job

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The place reminds me of the show Survivor. Everyone is constantly stabing someone in the back to get ahead. If your good at your job you can never get a permeation. But if your horrible an break everything. You will for sure get a permeation 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hot. We were climate controlled but knew owners say were spending to much cooling the plant. If you go in there offices though. There like ice boxes.

This company has serious issues with workplace culture, management, and HR practices. Employee concerns—especially regarding safety—are ignored or met with retaliation. Reporting problems can put your job at risk rather than leading to solutions.

HR mishandles accommodations, FMLA requests, and workplace policies, often making it difficult for employees with medical needs to get the support they require. Favoritism runs deep, and management seems more interested in protecting the wrong people rather than fostering a fair and professional work environment.

The turnover rate is extremely high at all levels, from entry-level employees to management, which is very concerning. The fact that so many people leave should be a red flag for anyone considering working here.

If you’re looking for a place that values its employees and operates with integrity, I’d strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

Would not recommend.

What is the best part of working at the company?
4 breaks per shift most of the people are nice

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They are ramping up production to the point where most people can't keep up with the machines, you usually run 3 to 4 machines at a time the whole 12 hours your working and you also break people so when your giving someone their break your running 6 to 8 machines they can't keep people because of it and they are on of the lower paying ships in the area you can literally go next door for 1.50 more an hour and do less work.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment and culture both are very stressful people are still nice to each other but way over worked and stressed out

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A lot of work and running around and moving and making boxes

Well, I'm sure, most are already aware that this is the worst factory to work for in Plattsburgh. I knew it going in but had no idea why this place has such a bad reputation.  Managment doesnt actual know how to do there job. They got that job because they're family or friends. Nobody cares about the quality or quantity of work you are putting out just as long as you smoke weed and get along with the rest of the scum that work there. That's the only thing that matters. These people are the lowest of scum I have ever met in my life. When I say grown children it doesnt really describe the depth of these people. If you like running around making fun of and putting other people down then this is the job for you. Place is completely filled with white trash! If I was you I wouldnt even bother quote your time and energy here.

After a hiring class of over 23 employees after 2 years only 3 were still working with the employer. There’s such a high turnover rate that you often don’t know the fellow employee working besides you.  They play favoritism, but it’s mostly based off of who’s not going to complain about doing another employees job after having to complete you own duties  yourself. They overload you while already working a 12 hour shift and then expect you to want to sign up for overtime. If you can get into a position where your not on a machine all day it’s a great environment, but if you’re a machine operator working in molding or lining you’re overworked, and undervalued.
