Mack Molding

Despite a lot of negatives there are things I like about Mack. That is why I have stayed here as long as I have, but I am considering other offers and will likely not be here in the very near future. The biggest reason is how this company leads, chooses their leaders, and promotes others to leadership roles. This is all based on time at headquarters so the experience and reality may differ at other locations. In a nutshell, the leaders here have no idea or no desire to improve on how they treat people. They do not coach or develop people and they do not understand even the basics of employee engagement, work life balance, and the difference between salary and hourly. Worse, there are many, most particularly in the manufacturing organization, who show success, get kudos, and stay moving forward in their career by deflecting and sabotaging others rather than through their own accomplishments or just plain being competent. It's the absolute main reason I want to leave followed by horrible benefits and in their one attempt to be people friendly trying to hold salary personnel to the same requirements as hourly (no working from home even in the pandemic for example) in an effort to show fairness. They also apply this differently to the few who are favorites. One person in the Sales group was off work for 6 months straight. Yep, 6 MONTHS, and was paid and even rewarded when they came back. Yet they send out a note to the company specifically telling people if quarantined it is without pay. Just one example of many horrible things going on.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The supervision and line leaders were terrible but far. Is the work running the parts on different moldings were challenge and experience to know what to look for and what you needed to do for that part. The only thing I didn't like about is that you throws you on a new piece every day instead of letting you run that piece for at least three to four days to where you really know what it is to do with that mode in peace and the machines they left too much flashes on it in burn marks. It's really a lot of work at mac molding. The machines are not putting out pieces that like they should put them out

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trying to get all the flash off them pieces before the next piece coming off the line and it's coming right soon as you pick it up and start on it

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Well I work be shift. There was no good supervision. All good line leaders unless it was maybe one or two but I worked on this shift and it was excellent. You know they work as a team

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It's like it was pointed out it was miserable but I did what I had to do. It was too much of the supervisor in line leaders about to work wherever was bothering them cuz they always act like they were mad about being there

Generally my shifts were monotonous but not boing and there was typically always work to be done.  I learned some injection molding skills as well as robotics engineering.  My department management was sub-par in my educated opinion having been in management positions at very successful companies for over ten years.  Management lacked organization, consistency, ability to delegate properly, and to integrate each employee into a teamwork based system causing morale issues.  The workplace culture at the company could have been improved as is true for any company, teamwork consisted on a very basic level and advancement opportunities being practically non-existent caused overall lack of effort.  The hardest part of my job was the conditions (temperatures exceeding 110 degrees F).  The most enjoyable part of my job was having the opportunity to learn a new trade as well having the often freedom to do tasks in the order in which I saw fit as long as they were completed by a given deadline.

I've worked at this company for 6 years and my growing problem with the company isn't because of the job and what I do, it's the people and management. There is no fairness when it comes to seniority. I've never worked at a place where so many people have been doing their job for so long and they are still terrible at it, and no one is held accountable. Anywhere else I have worked your seniority people are your go-to people because they have been doing it so long, nobody else can do it better so you take their advice. If you get tense, or short with someone to get the job done you get reprimanded, while someone else with a reputation for far more toxic behavior gets excused. Good pay, ok benefits, most people are fun and good to work with, others will stab you in the back and twist it. So if you can be willing to stand by and let yourself be treated unfairly while other people can be the way they want, do what they want to do and not get done what's best for the company, it's a decent place to work.

My job at Mack Molding was a wonderful one, full of challenges every day and high energy communication. I spent every day on the computer and the phone, attending meetings and fielding questions about documentation. My co-workers had the same position as I did, and we would trouble shoot and work together, often asking each other advice on how to handle certain issues. The most difficult part of the job was the difficulty of requesting other employees work independently and troubleshoot some of their issues on their own, as we would frequently help other employees with tasks they were responsible for. The most enjoyable part of my job was the challenge of every day work. The requirement to multi-task, to troubleshoot and to come up with new ideas for lean manufacturing was fun and kept me very busy!

While working at Mack Molding, my responsibilities was purely set on Quality control. I was assigned to look closely at painted parts for Harley Davidson, Volvo, and John Deer for imperfections in the paint such as blemishes and runs in the paint. When imperfections occurred, my crew and I was assigned to sand the imperfections off each part and have them sent back to be repainted.While at Mack Molding i learned alot about Quality control. Management was unprofessional gossiping to other employees while ignoring work that needed to be done and putting it off until the end of the work day. the co-workers was unprofessional as far as bring personal problems into the working environment as well as being lazy. the hardest thing about working at Mack Molding was the Management and co-workers. The most enjoyable part about Mack molding was the hours along with the money it came with.

A typical day started at 7.00 am,when I arrived I had to deal with issues and Initial Samples from the 3rd shift as there was no 3rd shift Auditor. When that was done I spent the rest of the day auditing whatever products were running that day, anything from injection molded parts, metal parts, sub-assemblies, complete product builds etc.
I learned the importance of Quality Control,achieving Customer satisfaction, the importance of following procedures, multi-tasking etc.
My co-workers were fine, mostly hard-working, friendly, happy and willing to help out with whatever they were asked to do.
The hardest part was first thing in the morning, there was usually a large amount of product from the 3rd shift to be dealt with before I could do anything else.
I enjoyed the challenges and the variety of tasks which were different every day.

This company offers only jobs, it's hard to make a career here or want to make a career here. Most of the staff are on their way to retirement. Terrible management, usually focused on investing time and money into the wrong things, cut throat if you don't "fit in", terrible benefits and laughable bonuses. They want and want but don't want to give. They are severely understaffed and can't keep people or get new people in the door because they have very little to offer. Sub-par pay, comparable with most other companies in the area but they are lacking in all forms of benefits. They have terrible health insurance, no company HSA contributions, little to no 401k match, etc. HR and several other in management and positions of "power" are highly unprofessional, constant flow of gossip and drama, which almost always makes it back to whoever it's about. They deny favoritism but anyone working there knows that's a fat lie. 

I worked 2ed shift when i first started at mack molding, It was 3pm - 12am. I worked on a medical production line called vapotherm. I worked with a small crew that consisted of 6 people. eventually that production line went out so mack molding manager then moved me to first shift which was 7am-3:30pm i liked the change. I then was working on a production line called Pitney Bowes which was all new to me something i have never done before using tools i have never touched a day in my life. It was a fun experiment i was using drills an putting pulley systems on these tiers that could take up to four hours to build, weighing up to 70lbs when finished. I was at first nervous but i quickly got the hang of it an ended up being able to train new people on the line just after two weeks. I loved working at Mack Molding. It was a nice place to work an alot of nice people to work with.

Mack is not what it used to be. Many employees are leaving, even ones that have been there for years. The pay is good, but you will have minimal to no training and expect to make no mistakes regardless. If you have issues don’t depend on anyone higher up to care. I used to feel a sense of belonging and importance there, but things have gone down hill recently. The morale is awful. The plant manager puts a “do not disturb during business hours” sign on his office door if that tells you anything. HR doesn’t get to know the people they are supposed to be representing or even leave their office. No one knows who they are. Prepare to be over worked due to low staff and lots of people jumping ship.
