Overall company very poorly managed. Received negative feedback for work performance when I was never instructed task was my responsibility. Felt that I was set up to fail from the start of my employment there. Never received proper training, also wasn’t included in project meetings. Just assigned time sensitive responsibilities and half the time not notified what was assigned to me. My supervisor would intentionally keep crucial information from me just to make my job more difficult.  HR department is a joke, if you feel that you are being treated unfairly by your immediate supervisor, you’re pretty much SOL. There is no one you can talk to in confidence about anything. Employees are treated like garbage and nothing is done about it. I was expected to work 12-14 hours per day and that still wasn’t good enough. I was hired as salaried employee, compensation was great, if I worked 45 hours a week, usual expectation for salary employees. However working 70-80 hours every week means my average hourly rate was less than most operators. 
Plant Manager transferred to different location, not before he gave me a letter of recommendation and acknowledged my dedication and thanked me for all of my hard work. 
As soon as he was gone I was demoted. So the employees that I supervised, were now my peers. Still walked in to work with my head held high and worked just as hard as I ever did. Unfortunately morale among the production employees was very low and 95% of the workforce worked at one speed...slow.  I believe the company motto was “that’s not my job.”  No sense of teamwork. I was ecstatic to resign from that place and leave BWay and Georgia without ever looking back. 

Very fast paced which was fine, but let's just say this if you weren't in their click they were not going to let you get your 90 days in. This refers to this particular plant only. I know of other BWAY plants that are not run this way. I use to work as a distributor for BWAY so therefore I am familiar with the company and employees however I was not familiar with this particular plant and they did their best to push me out the door. The last straw was 7 days before my 90 day probation period was up I had been running 2 lines for 3 nights in a row and the hot stamps were not legible I was told by my supervisor to keep running them at the end of my shift I documented this and he did not like that I wrote H.S.'S OK PER SUPV. So I was called up to the office when I got there I was advised that they were doing my review and the supervisor did not show up. I was told to punch out and then go to office now I have worked in companies and my review was always done on company time. I know their intention was to fire me that day, I left as I had a prior commitment (again this was after I had punched out) The next day I submitted my resignation letter. Although I worked hard to build myself up to run the 2 lines they require (and ran back to where the buckets were being flamed, hot stamped to pick them up-- the machines to run the lines were in no way shape or form up to par for the fast paced production they intended you to maintain.. and run back to the front of the lines to keep up with the lines)

What is the best part of working at the company?
At first it was a challenging experience, but then working for them in a long run. Things started to oversee and no support, no help, no respect, no communication and so on. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything literally!!!!
Everyone there wants to be chiefs,  but then the ones that do follow directions ends up in trouble for doing it right but in a slow way, not everyone in this world brain works the same. But there's people think we all should. 
Like the ones that been working there for years they don't have the respect for the new comers. Especially on the overnight shifts

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everything there is a walkway on egg shells. It's not a good environment it's always hot hot hot and hot. The culture is suppose to be a family team, but it's not, it's like everyone is against one another. No team help and etc

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We have a choice to either come or don't come. And it's like dang another day working 12 hours sucks

The very few good things about this job are the pay and hours. I don't recommend this job to anyone who wants to feel like they have any real value to the company. Don't be surprised this job has a high turnover rate.

• Was lied to by omission in orientation by not being told you had to run more than one machine at the same time. There was even one guy who ran 3 from time to time.

• Environment was typically very unclean. 

• Supervisors were very two-faced. They're friendly when directly speaking to you, but talk negatively about you behind your back.

• Management is so bad, one supervisor quit around 3 months into the job.

•Management treats you no different from a machine. Either you do a good job or you don't. The fact you have to run two moderately fast machines at the same time doesn't matter to them. If you're lagging, it's your fault.

•Even though you're told earbuds aren't allowed, supervisors don't actually care if you have them or not. They'll just tell you not to wear them around those from corporate.

•You'll be told to move around a lot between different machines.


You're day started pretty much as soon as you hit the floor Quality Control is time consuming and all checks to be performed on time in a timely manner ..
I learned how to work at a fast pace production lines I quickly moved up the latter from inspector packer to line lead then topping out in Quality as a Q.A Tech.. 
Management was built up of a great team from production supervisors to plant manager and corporate managers friendly but firm and cared about the employees all of us ,
I enjoyed working there from the very first night I started all friendly made you feel important and like family from the start no judgment we all worked well together the hardest part of the job was how hot the plant got in the summer time ,all in all for me that was the hardest time every summer , 
I really enjoyed working with every one at Bway every one always friendly easy going rewarded for you're hard work and dedication.

What is the best part of working at the company?
All Great and All staff are very co operative. Plant Manager are very supportive and ready to listen all employees need.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Injection Molding Machines needs ongoing improvement for consistent uptime of the Machines. Other equipments are new but need educated staff to manage and work on machine from all levels of support.  Mauser Packaging company is one of the best companies for its products and business and Mauser have lots of molds and machines which enable Mauser to offer very good and varieties of plastic product to their happy customers. Wishing all good luck to Mauser Packaging Solutions for all span of their business and work culture. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
All good. I have nothing but good working experience about all level of management of Mauser Packaging Solution. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very good compare to other plastic custom molder.

Worked at Bway 9 years.  Overall good experience in learning the Can Industry and the injection molding process in the plastics industry.  Also being involved with the yearly budget and being responsible for its output further increased my knowledge base.

A typical day at work included reviewing the MRP output with resultant maintenance to keep MRP valid, monitoring shop floor activity to see if production was on plan,  and reviewing purchase orders to see if shipments from the vendors were on plan. Calling meetings if required was also part of the agenda.

My management and co workers were always supportive and fun to work with. 

The hardest part of the job was maintaining the lowest inventory levels possible while scheduling the factory efficiently and maintaining customer service levels.

The most enjoyable part was the challenge to make it happen.

1) Daily work is diverse which keeps it interesting. 
2) Multitude of distractions, yet expected. Although, would enjoy completing tasks w/ more focus and less disruptions. 
3) The job allows for hands-on learning, yet requires self-initiative and motivational drive. 
4) Management: Fair
A lot of employees complain, yet fail to become involved in the solution. Instead of accepting fault or lack of initiative, they blame it on management. It takes everyone to create morale in the workplace, not just management.
Every business has it's gossip and toles on morale, but it comes down to employee interaction and reaction.
5) Most difficult feat of the job is having to take on a tremendous amount of responsibilities and balancing priorities. But, the reward in the end is self-gratification of succeeding and surpassing hurdles.
6) Most enjoyable part of the job is helping others, diversity, and being a part of change and making a difference.



Management at the corporate level here functions completely off of a buddy system. Middle management is far too bloated to be effective. Front office runs as if it were 1986. Too many clerical jobs with made up titles made to sow self importance. “Disc Purachsing Coordinator” Update your inventory system. To me, it appears the more clueless and unskilled you are, the easier it is for you to climb the ladder here.  That’s probably why every project the engineering department attempts to do is an utter failure and every advancement the company attempts to make falls flat on its face. Unqualified people, doing tasks they can’t possibly understand, because the guy you promoted is the owners best friends son or something. If you have any actual degrees or qualifications, do not waste your time with them. You can do better. 

Alright, where do I start with this place. Well, here it goes, Bway is a very BAD place to work. They are really greedy and overwork everyone. They are very money thirsty. Their benefits are horrible and they give no personal days. They want to run a place with short personnel and they expect excellency all of the time. They just randomly bought this plastic company and they obviously don't know how to run it. My advice to everyone looking for a job: DON'T WORK FOR BWAY, because all you're going to find there is a bunch of stressed workers because of all of the abuse from Bway. Also, you are not going to be able to get good training there as well. There is so much more to say about them, but nobody is ever going to do anything about it because a lot of people are scared to say what's on their mind, but I rated this place super low. I wish I could have rated it -1 MILLION, because I definitely would.
