They won’t let me leave an honest review, but if you are looking for a toxic work environment this is the place to work. People don't quit their jobs they quit toxic work environments. On a daily basis you will be micromanaged, there is no work flexibility and if there is a time you will get questioned about personal issues and you might as well just forget it. They spend thousands of dollars to get the Senior management trained for them to come back with the same work ethic and no growth. Very stressful work environment and no support from inside upper management. They don't hold people accountable for making mistakes, so the same mistakes get made over and over again costing several hundreds of thousands of dollars. They hardly ever get their yearly bonuses. This place is going down hill with the type of management this company is running. 

58% quit their jobs due to toxic work culture.

70% of employees feel micromanaged at work.

65% of workers report feeling burned out.
People  don't quit their jobs,
They quite toxic work environment

They should probably figure out why people leave and get down to the real problem instead of letting the good people go.

(Warning: this is my review based only on my opinion and others may have had a completely different experience. By no mean am I saying that the company is still like this nor am I saying the opposite as I’m not qualified to make that conclusion. This review is focused on company culture) The company was a great experience when I was an entry level employee. The work was monotonous but that’s what you signed up for. My issues came along when I was promoted and more involved with management. I had a terrible experience just about every day with them. Every day, the three of my bosses who I actually see on the plant (who will not be named) battling each other on who does what? What way is better? Who going to run this cell and what side are they on? And because of this, I felt the company lacked any real teamwork since every shift, cell, and leader is trying to one up the other while making themselves look good. A lack of cohesion and teamwork and an urge to go home the only company culture I encountered.

Typical factory work not hard,get three twenty minute breaks. Twenty minutes flies by considering the time it takes to walk from your cell to the bathroom and break room,inhale your food and god for bid if you smoke you have to walk aways to smoke area then be back in your cell all in twenty minutes. The training is atrocious you get thrown in and either sink or float there is no time for training as the parts are needed. Work seven days a week there is money to be made but no time for family. Then wonder why so many quality issues. No training and over worked hmmm? Management pick and choose who they will make acceptions for definite favoritism. Not all rules apply to each person. There are alot of good employees working there if I had any positive things to say it would be fellow employees.

While working at Pilkington (NSG), I enjoyed meeting a variety of new people and working with the excellent management  team. I also enjoyed the cooperative group effort put forth by many long term employees toward accomplishing set directives and company goals. The most difficult area concerning this position, for me, was in the manipulation of some of the  larger equipment  and  in heavier lifting projects. The best part of this job was in training and development of some of the newer employees through passing on the new  skills that I had acquired through this experience. I also enjoyed the challenge of meeting required team goals deadlines through a group effort.

You can make a decent living here at Pilkington but it comes at a cost. 7 day swing shift means no time for family or activities outside of work. Many times you will be forced into working 16 hours. The training here is terrible. The only way you can be promoted at this facility to a salary position is if you have a degree and they will consider you then. Even if your degree has zero to do with the position you are applying for salary wise. So for example if you have a degree in psychology they would potentially hire you in a chemical department instead of promoting someone who has been in dept for say 10-20 years and knows the job very well. This job is only good if you have zero family. You are treated as replaceable every day you come to work. 

The only thing I enjoyed about the job was a couple of my coworkers and some of the customers. The management when they hired from outside the company was terrible and corporate would do nothing to help the employees that had been there for a while. Overall the company didn't provide the proper support to its employees and would brush off serious complaints which drove to a lot of hiring and quitting. We were understaffed for the longest time and my boss at the time had requested for them to hire more people but they ignored his request which made him eventually quit and then they noticed that we were understaffed and tried to blame my old boss who in no way was the issue. 

I worked there for 5 months and I only worked on the actual line I was hired for one week and then they had me clean every where all the time and when it came down to the time for me to actually take the test to see if I would get hired on full time they didn’t even give me a chance to see if I could or not they just told the temp service that I would not be able to pass it but I really could have but never got a chance very regretful that I even went to work there it about ruined my life they let me go right before all of my bills were due and about put us on the streets 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing, this place is a joke. The management sucks and they don’t care about the customers and will continue to side with lazy workers who don’t do the job they were hired to do but will punish the good workers. Avoid at all costs. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything. This place is all stress 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Management is a joke and doesn’t care about the customers or employees.

I worked there 8 months w no supervisor. Place is honestly a joke. The pay sucks over worked won’t let anyone on equipment unless you been there for a while took pilkington 7 months to train me on a forklift n order picker already had experience. And literally all I did was pick and it sucks.office people are a joke not friendly. Rude employees. Jus overall it was a paycheck and insurance for me. Would not recommend anyone go here
