What is the best part of working at the company?
The people and pay. I don't know about benefits because I didn't have their insurance or anything, but I worked with some great people who made me look forward to being there for my shifts, and the pay was good.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The worst part is the whole union thing. It's a good thing overall, but until you make it through the probationary period, you will get less hours simply because you aren't in the union. Plus, regular hours, overtime hours, leaving early or staying over - everything goes by seniority, even once you do get into the union.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There's always someone at every work place that shouldn't be allowed to work with others, but for the most part, the people I worked with were hardworking and pleasant to be around, easy to talk to and get along with. It gets hot as expected during the warmer weather because it's a factory, but there are industrial fans you can use to help circulate some air. The jobs throughout aren't bad; most are easy, it's just a lot of repetition like at any other factory job.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on call-offs or if we're short-staffed, our supervisor tells us at the start of each shift where we'll be working that day. Often times people get moved around to other areas at some point if a line is only running for so long or is having difficulties getting production done. So about half the time you stay in one spot all shift, and the other half you'll get moved around to keep the work flow going. They definitely like to cross-train people, though they've also brought in people from the following shift early and had people from before my shift stay over to help cover as needed. (i.e., if on 2nd shift, a few 3rd shift people might get brought in 2-4 hours early to help cover, while daylight people might get asked to stay over for 2-4 hours for that same purpose.)

The reason I show up every day is because I believe in change. When the counselors target certain staff talking about them to clients and new staff it makes it extremely hard to talk yourself into even going to work. You get frowned upon if you want a break, call in because your sick, and if you have any concerns about any situation that may happen... The clients do not have one on one sessions with counselors and most of the time their groups last only 40 mins when they are suppose to be an hour. The floor staff is having to ask the counselors if they are even gonna have the group. And have begged for the whole unit, all staff and clients have a meeting about what the expectations are. The clients have complained stating that they were never told about the expectations and never seen the handbook for clients. They dont do anything for life skills and they have too much time on their hands where these clients get bored... 

My experience was that the workplace was going through several changes, and expectations shifted quickly. At times, priorities and communication were unclear, and training/support varied depending on the situation. Some management approaches felt unsupportive and overly critical, with feedback focused more on mistakes than development.

There were some good coworkers and valuable manufacturing experience, but stronger communication, more structured onboarding, and more consistent leadership support would make a major difference.

This may be a better fit for someone who is comfortable with shifting priorities, limited direction, and a high-pressure environment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was very structured and we always were taught to meet expectations. They actually took the feedback from people and used it to improve.
