North Star Sheets

I never write reviews but I felt like I needed too just to warn any poor soul that comes across this job. Everything said and promised from the management and hr will seem great and positive.  Once you enter that warehouse and actually start your first day of work you soon realized it's the complete opposite. From my experience and talking with the other new hires, the long-tenured employees are 1. NOT HAPPY to be there 2. Have NO PATIENCES with you learning and training. 3. Are HOSTILE and CONFRONTATIONAL. One employee told me on two different occasions about asking another employee to fight after or outside of work. If that sounds like an environment you want to be in then perfect sign up for the OVERLOAD OF STRESS and LOW PAY.       

What is the best part of working at the company?
They do a good job taking care of the employees and providing the equipment needed to do your job safely.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
In the summer it can get extremely hot and humid in the warehouse. It is a sweat lodge and if you can't handle heat this is not for you.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very inclusive and everyone is very nice. We try to strive to make everyone feel accepted.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Punch in at 0745 do a crew meeting, figure out the plan for the day and meet with next crew at 1555 and go home.

Supervisors have worked with me throughout my employment here around issues, whereas another company would just rather get rid of you. Really feel comfortable here, I started in shipping 3 years ago and moved to the wet end now....you can do multiple positions if your willing to learn and push yourself, not just what you were hired for. Job security is there. Management admits when they are wrong, and expect you to do the same. It's a developing place still, but it's better than a lot of the others. It's work. I mean, there's other things you'd rather do, but this place really isn't bad. 

Maintenace Dept was Really hostile to work in. Certain people in deptment made it hostile and difficult to work at North Star Sheets. Upper Management supported a certain two employees that Maintenance Dept that made it difficult to work at NSS. I was there 5 years and the enviroment got even no better. Reported and reported this behavior and finally NSS pushed me out the door. Fabricated a reason to fire me. 

The working environment was lacking in every way. The supervisors were not friendly and often created tension. The only thing the company cares about is the product not the people. A typical day at work was generally an 11 hour work day. Employees were expected to work until the work was completed which usually was 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. The hardest part of the job was coming to work every day and working with a supervisor that had no idea what he was doing and didn't care about the employees. The most enjoyable part of this job was when I quit.

The shipping team acts like a bunch of clowns. They think they are the greatest thing put on planet earth. It's a forklift job it takes no college degree. If you can drive a forklift everything else will come in time. The shipping supervisor is probably the worst supervisor I've ever seen. In the short time I was there I never once heard any positive feedback it was nothing but criticism and people trying to bully me.

When you start out you will have some frustrating days/nights because you will have a sense of rush to make sure the machine keeps running but just do what you can and try not to stress yourself out it will be fine and once you get it down everything will go really smoothly for you. 

Their are a few people that don’t like anyone new so they treat you badly it’s no fun! The pay was good. It will be hot in the summer so stay hydrated. Management ( old manager) are not fun to deal with but the new manager is a great guy and I would work for him anytime. 

Very very stressful job. Lots of crabby people to work with everyday. This place cares more about making money than caring about the employees well being. The machines have problems daily and they will blame it on operator error! Worst place I have ever worked. 

North Star is a extremely poor place to work for and the pay is just as bad. They're one of those places that treat you like garbage and give you food for the " hey good job " . When you see a place constantly looking for employees, that's a good sign it's not a long term job.
