First of all this company has great pay and Great benefits.  They also give great holiday pay and gift cards when you do work holidays   this is where the good story ends...

The training is very little to none,  I would not suggest you working here unless if you worked on a film line before and maybe it might work out.   they have had a high turn over rate that trainers are not really motivated to give you any real hands on training they will ride the clock until it is time to leave and you really don't learn much you learn more from your co workers than you do your trainers.   

If you have any kind of opinions do not express them I would suggest talking to no one, unless if it has anything to do with learning your job.   If you come in and hear "our overtime is about to end" don't say anything.  don't make snarky comments or say anything to anyone.  they will use anything against you to get you fired.  you can get fired because you disagreeed with someone about what color the sky is.   I got fired for saying if I was president I would make my secret service guys wear samurai suits, along with other things that are out there and it made my co workers "uncomfortable"...  

basically the inmates run the asylum and they can make up anything they want if they want to get rid of someone.   there is alot of buddy buddy system in there.   

you will have to work holidays they run 24/7 no matter what but they are upfront with you on this, not necesarry a con but one of the few things they will tell you before you are hired.   

What they will not tell you is they do a draft on OVERTIME and you can not get out of overtime if you are drafted.   got plans for that nice 4 day weekend?  forget it if they pull your name.   they only tell you this after you are hired on.

its swing shift but they do 4 weeks on 1st and rotate 3rd for 4 weeks and back and forth i did not have a problem with this.   they are upfront on this.    

If you plan on working here keep to yourself, your hobbies outside of work is sleeping (this is what you tell them).  do not give your co workers anything that they can use against you (because they will).   

would I recomend working here?  it depends on your personality and experience.   if no experience and you are like me and make jokes sometimes I would say stay away from this place.  if you got some experience running a film line, and can go 12 hours without speaking to your co workers then I would say yes because they pay and the benefits are really great.   Do not rely on trainers to teach you how to run a film line. 

I would name names to look out for but honestly I would have a very long list and make it short, NO ONE IS YOUR FRIEND HERE!!!

And when I was fired it was no warning, no write up just got suspended from work, HR guys get their therapy session together and then wait a week to finally tell you that your fired.   

Last thing is that I am not really upset about being fired I just thought it was ridiculous, I was able to find a job before they told me I was finally fired. (I had 5 job offers before the week ended)  I knew their gameplan...

I really enjoyed many of the people I worked with here from the operators to many of my peers and a select few managers. Unfortunately, I felt undervalued for everything I was doing and not appreciated for my contributions. At times I was doing the work of 2+ people while my direct peers were doing 1/2 of what I was and still making more than I was in terms of salary. Management is very cliquey and often times it was expected to do some things that were morally questionable in terms of what to communicate. There has been a lot of turnover here at the company from operators to engineers. The managers will change roles very frequently which can present its own challenges in terms of being able to advocate for their team members and leverage promotions.

I did really enjoy the work I was doing, and liked the challenges it brought. I felt at times what I was working on was making a difference, but many times my hands were tied by management to not be able to 100% correct an issue instead just throw a “bandaid” on it. That was the culture for much of production, constant fire fighting and not a lot of proactive work to prevent issues from happening before they occur.

I began working for Mitsubishi Chemical America about a year after its formation in 2017. Working for the regional headquarters has allowed me to interact with and learn from all 20 group companies. My main activities are around marketing vehicles such as the website, social media, advertising and trade shows. I work very closely with people throughout all of our group companies to identify synergies and opportunities for growth within our focus markets. 

My job is very interactive and I have support from management as well as my peers. The really unique thing about working for MCA is that all of the people that are in the organization are actively engaged employees with the same goal. Management is very forward-thinking and we all work together to achieve our goals. I work with great people and can't see myself being anywhere else.

The job it self was not hard as they made it but they do not have a good training system in place. In MCPP it’s like they expect you to know things they never even tell you and get mad if you don’t know it. The management is very poor and has a lot to do with very poor turnover rate. They completely lied about the schedule being 4 on 4 off I never once had a week where I worked 4 and was off 4 instead they forced us to work Monday - Friday 12 hours rotating with only 2 days off. This change came after the plant manager in section quit do to again other people in management being so hard to work with. They eventually promoted the maintenance supervisor to plant manager oddly who had no clue what he was doing. Overall I had high hopes for this job but was sadly disappointed to the point I had to leave. 

Company offers good benefits and reasonable compensation, however management of the America's division is running it into the ground. They have no respect or concern for their people, only their numbers. There is no work/life balance as employees are forced to work 7 days a week with no legitimate end in sight, but you won't ever see upper management on the weekends or after hours. Open positions are often backfilled from within adding more pressure to those remaining with no real support from management. Safety and discipline focus is based on what-if scenario's instead of reality.  If you can avoid management the rest of the place feels like a family that's willing to help one another succeed.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Payday, the only reason to stay here

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Every minute of every day is a firefight. Lack of sober management means Lab operations are a random event and production is often compromised.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A blur of spreadsheets, slogans and total lack of experience and common sense as few stay long enough to make a positive change.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Pick up a process in disarray, try to stabilise.  Listen to non-experts talk about shapes and concepts while trying to actually improve an inherently unstable process.

During my early employment, I was allowed to expand my potential by filling many roles, attending several training classes, and training others, while consolidating distributed services/systems to a central US location.

I worked for this company for 12 years, which ending with the supported systems migrating to Japan. (The children grew up and left the nest)

Like many companies, during a recession, there were cutbacks and a change of focus. Seeing the new direction, I left for better opportunities.

Very poor management. HR does NOT keep track of employees times and schedule pay raises. It's a finger pointing society where even if a machine breaks down on its own, someone is to take the blame. Requests for minor things to help employees feel more comfortable while working twelve hour shifts are completely denied. Leads and supervisors do not care if you go 5 hrs + without taking a break and if you take one when it is suppose to be your scheduled break time you run the risk of getting a write up.

Mitsubishi needs people yet fires people left and right for the smallest things.  It is a union job, but the union doesn't support you.  They're losing customers due to poor product and yet refuse to keep people who know what they're doing. Often times we fond ourselves working 7 days a week. You're always cleaning up after the previous shift and yet somehow it's your fault. You're just a number or a cog in a wheel. You're nit a person.
