OMNI Specialty Packaging

As part of the curriculum for the Packaging Science Department at Clemson University I was required to complete a CO-OP rotation. The company that I decided on was Omni Specialty Packaging (OSP). OSP is an industry leader in the manufacturing and packaging of oils, lubricants, and various other commercial grade fluids. While on CO-OP I was subjected to many different aspects of the company such as working in an A2LA Certified Lab, warehousing and distribution practices, process improvement, raw material optimization, waste reduction, new product launches, the implementation of quality assurance and quality control procedures, the purchase and installation of new machinery, time-studies to determine line efficiencies, data acquisition and storage, inventory management and tracking, problem-solving regarding defects in the finished goods, cost-savings as they apply to raw materials, as well as the incorporation of CapePack software to improve distribution practices. During the 5-month CO-OP I was responsible for maintaining varoius relationships with suppliers and I participated as a member of a Quality Assurance Team, an Inventory Tracking Team, and a New Product Approval and Launch Team. I would recommend that my resume be referenced for more details concerning the projects I completed and to see the value that I brought to the company through the completion of these projects.

Everyday we had a specific schedule to follow. Everyday there was a new challenge to learn, the company was ever growing. I was in mid level management and was on a very good career path. The owners are fantastic and truly care for their employees. The company is in it's third generation of family ownership. Each generation adds significant value to the company and it's ever growing culture. The employees could be challenging with their daily issues, but no issue was to great that it couldn't be resolved. The culture was very diversified. There are employees of all race and ages and different skill sets, but each bring value to the table. The training and lead time for each position is laid out in detail, and follow up with each new trainee is excellent. I would recommend anyone to apply at OMNI.

From pay to benefits to support and comradery, hands down the best company to work for. 
Not only can the compensation not be matched by other companies, but you get vouchers for everything you need to perform your job like clothing, safety shoes, safety glasses and exceptional training.  
My most loved thing about working here is that we get company appreciations often like lunches monthly, town halls to reassure us that the business is still growing strong, and diner provided appreciation day where we play games like bingo and eat and have a relaxed day of working and having fun!! 
Several people here earned their college degree while working here, that's because Omni support growth!!  


This place is not sunshine and rainbows. It has horrible management. They don't know how to organize or schedule accordingly. If u can put up with the stress levels and long hours then the pay isn't that bad. It's very hectic on day shift. Several supervisors and managers watching you constantly. On night shift people are constantly calling out and instead of management making adjustments, you're stuck operating two machines all night and not getting paid for it. Hard work will not pay off here. Management shows no appreciation whatsoever. 

OMNI has a huge turn over rate due to management's lack of proper training and poor treatment of employees. The director of Operations has made racist and sexist remarks. He has proudly made statements such as "sometimes you are the person standing on the doormat and sometimes like you all you are the doormat" Management over works their employess at any cost and you walk on pins and needles not knowing when you will be fired for something so insignificant. This was my worst job out of my working career and would never reccomend anyone to work there.

You will need to know the new culture of young people. They have no goals in life and they are only looking for a pay check. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It is busy and many times you are doing people’s jobs to try to teacn them even when they aren’t willing to learn

Typical day starts immediately with Maintenance calls, because that's our job. I've learned a lot in a short amount time because my co-workers and management have guided me very well. The work is challenging, but not difficult. Maintenance has a 12 hour shift night/day. The employees are fun to work with. Management has gained my respect. My pay rate is fair for me. Night shift gets a differential pay.  The company is expanding production equipment for gaining more clients. 

The CEO is the most humble down to earth person I've ever met in his position. He knows each employee and takes to time get to know everyone personally. He really makes an effort provide benefits and flexibility for employees and their families. My manager provides all of the opportunities to improve and grow as a professional and really emphasizes a healthy balance between work and family. The HR manager really cares about all employees also and does her best to protect each employee's interest. The company has been transitioning to a friendly and innovative company that focuses on continuous improvement.
