Millennium Print Group

A great place to work. Lovely people. The company has initiatives and goals to improve, so they are constantly undergoing change. The growth has exploded. You really have to be mindful of only stressing about things within your control, at the present moment. Because the work is non-stop, and you’re in a 24/7 manufacturing facility. Don’t burn yourself out.

Related to environment stress - If hybrid work opportunities became the norm, rather than spending 50 hours in an office, that would help. It’s probably not at the top of the list for priority, because this is technically manufacturing. But office staff would benefit from more quiet space.

Management - Most managers are true servant leaders that help their employees, taking on as much work as they do - plus more….i respect the managers who get down in the trenches to set that example. Perhaps one or two managers seem to be pure delegators, which loses respect from their employees. Don’t assign employees to do something that you are capable of finding the answer to, or wouldn’t do yourself, is the way I see it…BUT, overall, solid group of managers. It’s quite easy to approach them, and learn from them.

Senior leadership is down-to-earth and very approachable. When you speak to them, be a “doer” and not a “this is how things should be” person. Meaning, bring your ideas and be prepared to enact change. No one has time to discuss shoulda, coulda, woulda. Credibility is built by going above & beyond identifying a problem - they’ll support your ideas. Get 👏 things 👏 done 👏 

Other perks - Generous compensation! Good benefits, but can get expensive for a family plan. The owner has always taken care of his people in terms of compensation. :-)

Keep on keepin’ on, MPG!

Ever wondered where Pokemon cards come from? No? Too bad, I'm telling you. For a period of four months I discovered just where 75% of the world's supply of Pokemon cards came from, and it was surprisingly Morrisville, North Carolina! As I was only part time and only working a handful of hours, I didn't get the full experience of the establishment. As stated before, this company primarily prints and packages Pokemon cards, so we had to keep a tight lip on the products we produced before they hit shelves. On any given day, there are typically two products being packaged; box sets and blisters. You get blisters making blisters, especially if you're the one putting the coins in them. Probably the most difficult part of the job is accidentally giving yourself numerous paper cuts. Personally, the most enjoyable part of the job was seeing products I personally worked on on shelves in stores. Management is nice so long as you don't give them reason to dislike you.

Rush, Rush, Rush.  We have time to do things twice, but not enough time to do it right once.  No communication, no access to needed information, given just enough information to have to ask questions or request more information that will not be given in a timely manner.  The company has a Mickey Mouse management and a "Fly by the seat of your pants" mentality,  The company has a great group of knowledgeable and experienced production employees that manage to get work out correctly despite the confusion caused by management, planning and customer service.  There in no room for advancement, training or even lateral movement from position hired for.

This is a good place to work for, great benefits and everything. When you first start and go to orientation they tell us that if you want to move up in here all you have to do is ask. Well the downside about that they don't tell you is they only allow certain people to move up, it doesn't matter if you been here for years if you are not Hispanic, a man or beautiful to them you will not move up. Some want to train to be high dye operators but get excuses as why they can't and some want to be trained for the machines but can't because of bogus reasond. Again it's a great jump and pay but if you want to move up you have to be beautiful in their eyes, a man or Hispanic. And they are hiring new people who get to work on machines soon as they come in but those who been here for years have to beg to be moved up and the new ones sometimes end up quitting and the ones that been here for years can't move up or be treated right.

The company paid fairly for the type of work that was given and they offered a good benefits package (100% employer paid health insurance, reasonable PTO) but the 12 hour shifts were exhausting. Also had to park about 3 miles away and take a shuttle to the actual location. If you were not on the shuttle 30 minutes prior to the start of your shift, you were forced to wait for the shuttle that was after your shift start time to purposely make you late but you were scrutinized if you were late. If you parked anywhere close to the building you would get towed!! So I literally had to arrive at work an hour earlier just to go through all the processes. Was treated like children who could not make decisions for themselves. It became mentally taxing with too many headaches. I was willing to take a pay cut at another company to reclaim my peace of mind. 

It's an easy job but they have the most chaotic flow I have EVER seen in a warehouse. They don't assign where an employee is working. Employees just pick and choose which line or operator they want to work with and THEN management will pull from who's left and ask em to go somewhere . Line workers also routinely get blamed when they point out defects that their machine operators FALL ASLEEP and miss. Co workers talk about and lie on one another and there is little to no consequence or resolve for it some of which is attributed to the very noticable favoritism that goes on between management and staff. They also provide no extra time for your breaks or lunch even thou most times you have to wait in line to empty AND turn out your pockets and pass throu the metal detectors . Oh and you have to scan in and out there as well and also scan in and out at the entrance and exit.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Getting off and going home is the best part

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The toxic work environment. Weak leadership. Inconsistent rules that doesn’t apply to the favorites. Can’t keep good and hard working people cause they pander to the lazy people who do the bare minimum.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Socially a very nasty place, lies are told on a regular basis. Good place only if you have little to no experience working in warehouses.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hard workers get all the hard work and are rewarded with more hard work. The lazy people get to laugh and smile and not do anything in the face of leadership as a result.

Graphic used to be a great place to work. They used to care about the employees and there opinions on getting jobs out. Now they are a hurry up get job done (all about speeds and numbers) not quality anymore, rushing people to make mistakes.
   They have managers that don't understand the equipment in the departments they run which causes lots of problems and the managers that do understand there hands are tied for they will have to worry about stepping on toes.
   The owner of the company is a great person that I respect just think he needs to look a little closer at his management as to why the company is losing jobs.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Benefits and pay but it’s not even worth it 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The work atmosphere is very stressful 


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Worst company to work for. Poor communication and  they undervalue good employees. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very stressful. The supervisor only speaks or communicates when it convenient for them.Manager more times than none will walk  by you without even speaking and gets frustrated when you tell them about issues your having.

I recently started working here. The work is fine. It's repetitive, but that's most production jobs. The first day, you will train at multiple stations. And they are very particular with how you work during tnat training. Again, fine. But then you get onto the production floor and a lot of it goes out the window. Trainers and supervisors will tell you that you are doing something wrong, even if you were instructed in that way. It's difficult to tell what is standard or if the particular person has a control problem. This is not feasible while working on a production line that doesn't stop running.
