Nipro PharmaPackaging

I've been with the company for many years and through many changes. There have been ups and downs, but the pros heavily outweigh the cons. This is, by far and wide, the best job I've ever had and the best place I've ever worked. While personalities may be an area of contention, that takes a deserved back-seat when it comes to performing the job at hand. Taking a "rolling with the changes" mindset makes for a better atmosphere at work. Those who resist change can, and do, bring the morale down. But I keep to the business at hand and simply do my job. Staffing ebbs and flows, like everywhere else. We do our best to keep everything running as much as possible because  that's what I'm paid to do. I've never been asked to go above and beyond, although sometimes I do. I don't always get recognized for it, but I'm not the type that needs attention or a participation trophy. A job well done and a paycheck are all I need from my employment. Management, like the rest of us, have experienced some changes, but I think they do a pretty good job at listening to us when we have a problem or question. They also address our issues and ask for our input into how we can make it a better place to work. If there's something you don't like or something that needs improved, we can easily speak to management at any time. I like that they all have an open door policy and encourage communication. All in all, this is a great place to work (despite some of the bad apples).

Typical day - day goes by fast. Collaboration with multiple departments

Learned- About Pharmaceutical glass industry, global cultures and shared challenges 

Management- Mostly new, others tenured with a lot of knowledge. Doing a lot of work to listen and implement ideas from the employees. Encouraging involvement and employee development technically and behaviorally. 

Workplace culture- evolving, mostly hard working  knowledgeable team working together in a 24/7 pharmaceutical glass manufacturing plant 

Hardest part of job- keeping the process stable and machines running, employee satisfaction, keeping up with the fast paced atmosphere

Best part-working with my coworkers, learning new information, helping solve problems and improving my teams abilities.

 Management never listens to their employees complaints or concerns about the factory’s working conditions. They took away their floor mats about 8 months ago and have no plan on replacing them despite employees constant concerns about their physical well-being. Constantly understaffed due to these issues and then they make other staff do 2-3 people’s jobs at the same pay as 1 job. Management wants us to pass bad bottles just so they get higher numbers at the end of the month and make us do twice the amount of work to get jobs out faster. The only redeeming thing about this place is the other employees you work on the floor with. Most of them are very fun.  I WOULD say the pay is a good thing if I didn’t have to do multiple peoples jobs at the same pay rate.

This is a good place to work as long as you know someone in management, if your not friends with a member of management then you have a target on your back for your job. As for advancement opportunities there are none unless your friends with upper management. Job postings are supposed to go by seniority and attendance but they don't, the only time that a job gets posted is when upper management has already decided who they want to fill that position.

It is not a bad place to work as far as the pay and the benefits. You get raises every year by percentage over a three year period. The biggest problem in the job is supervisors show favoritism. The upper management has a blind eye to the favoritism. Supervisors are very disrespectful to there teams. Management is the biggest problem with working at Nipro. I was employed there for over 20 years.

Company micro manages everything. Employees forced to work overtime several times weekly due to poor management. Bad supervisors that will belittle and demean you. Little to no job training and the pay is not any where near worth the aggravation. Equipment is constantly breaking down and not being repaired correctly resulting in unsafe working conditions. Do not waste your time here. 

I'm appreciative of everything I learned about conveyance, robotics, pneumatic systems etc because I have the best job I've ever had right now because of it. But this job almost gave me a mental breakdown. Between the swing shift, mandatory OT, terrible workers who exploit FMLA, and management that doesn't treat people like people, I'd say steer clear.
