Old World Industries

OWI has a lot of perks - A fantastic Christmas party, Thanksgiving turkeys, even tickets to box seats at sporting events!  Efficiency is not exactly their thing though, and it is beginning to show. Do whatever it takes to win business, even if the manpower or technical capabilities are unable to support it. Corporate reorganizations are an annual solution to the inefficiencies so if hired, you may find yourself in a completely different job title or even have to come up with your own job title. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
As a driver, we had free reign to do our job however we wanted to do it as long as we safely loaded and unloaded without any accidents or Haz Mat spills. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being ran so hard and so long that we routinely barely made it back to the yard legally. The second most stressful part of the job was that they "never" took up for the driver's, even when the driver was right and the customer was wrong. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very friendly and open. They would work with you if you needed something special taken care of. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Rushed, but pretty easy at the same time. Dispatchers would almost always listen to the driver and take his advice.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Can’t think of anything except the pay was fair but  LEADERSHIP UNORGANIZED NEVER CLEAR ANSWERS  NOT REALLY A TEAM THAT I WAS USED TOO AT OTHER PREVIOUS COMPANIES POINT BLANK NEED BETTER LEADERSHIP 
MY EXPERIENCE WAS THE WORST I EVER HAD IM NY PROFESSIONAL CAREER. DID NOT FEEL @ HOME IN THE SHORT TIM THERE 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
LEADERSHIP NOT ON THE SAME PAGE CORPORATE ALWAYS MAKING EXCUSES AND NOT HELPFUL AND NOT CARYING THROUGH WITH ANSWERS 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
WHAT WORK ENVIORMENT WHOS 
BACK STABBING WHO TO CLIMB
THE CORPORATE LADDER 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
CONFUSION, MISREPRESENTATION UNSURE 🫤 WHO HAD THE REAL ANSWER

I have never seen so many people come and go in such a short period of time.  Before it never happened,  but now it's all you see.  Realize the value you have in your employees before all the good ones leave. 

Realize what and who the problems are before you loose more people that actually like their job.  The lack of training,  communication,  and the best friend atmosphere needs to stop.  

Communication is key.  Once you stop communication with your team the further you push your team apart.

OWI bolingbrook is heaven for illegal worker but who work hard and honestly management dam care if  they are not illegal or will not give some things to eat and commission from your salary to your boss. Now 20 employee are  illegal who are working from 3rd party. they are getting more hours than OWI employee. Except some people no one happy there because of group sim and illegal people . If you are experience they just learn from you then kick you out by hook and cook. Because after learn your job illegal people will do your job less money.


Typical work days consist of answering phones, making copies, email’ data entry, book’s. I have learned how the production of their products is mad. I first started out ok knowing nothing about office work. The manager is actually the owner; He is a much laid back guy, fun and easy going. Old World Industries is a family run and operated business; there are only 3 full time works such as myself, owner and his son. Both are easy to work with the most enjoyable part of the job is, it’s a laid back easy going environment to work it.

The best part of the job that is you get to interact with a number of people during the day.  I like the co-workers that I work with.  My least favorable part of my job is the fact that certain upper level managers work hard at making themselves look good and could care less about a "team" environment.  They are concerned with advancing themselves, either at this company, or moving onto another company.

I enjoyed a rapidly changing work load from day to day. I learned how to effectively coach and mentor. I eagerly took on large projects that served to improve upon my already solid project management skills. Co-workers were friendly and helpful. The hardest part of the job was understanding that as a Facility Director the decisions you need to make will not always please everyone.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Health benefits Nothing much else.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Chaotic work environment.  Rather unorganized company.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Try to get things done.  Always fixing problems.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Check emails for problems.  Then, if time allows, work on current task/project at hand.

Fast paced company that is not for everyone. You either love working there or you don't. They will give you initial tools to perform job but it's up to you to make it your own. No hovering or micro managing here. They treat you as adult to manage your business with coaching when needed.
