● Work-life balance
On the outside, this company is a dream job. I will respect the vision of the company as well as the services being provided,  but currently this company pays alot of attention to making money and not the employees.  Management is poor in general,  and thos that have worked there for a long time have alot of favor, they get away with anything. If you do plan on working there, be advised that the majority of people in there are very toxic and it will rub off on you of your are not strong minded individuals.  There is also a culture of racism and entitlement especially from those who work on first shift. The pay is alright but for the work load it's not worth it. Apply at your own discretion and good luck.

● Pay & benefits
They offer company bonuses,  but its little to nothing

● Job security and advancement
It all depends on what department you work. Only production has constant opportunities for growth. And training is a joke. Most managers just make you sign a form and boom you're trained. That's not right

● Management
Managers don't really care about you. Only about the numbers and profit. And there no confidentiality in the workplace

● Overall
Dig deep before applying to this company. The company in general is maybe a good place to work but the feasterville site, I really dont recommend working on because of toxic environment,  constant gossip and rumor spreading, in your face racism ect

Working at Oliver-Tolas you truly feel like you're part of a family. You have the strong leaders on each shift taking the roll of "parents" who you feel like you can talk to and who will be there for you no matter what. You also have the younger less experienced "kids" who you help out and teach how to do everything perfectly. Each shift is their own "family" but sadly they're pitted against each other. The tension in each shift gets high when you're working 60+ hours a week, this usually happens during the summer at Oliver-Tolas. 

The Team leads tend to have their own ways of going about their jobs. There really isn't a set strategy, some "team leads" are good leaders and good at helping their staff when they need time off or are having a problem, while others choose to turn a blind eye and simply ignore problems when they present themselves. Some of the issues dealt with differently range from attendance policies and break length all the way to productivity, quality, and in some cases harassment.

The healthcare benefits are wonderful, and the 401K is topnotch. 

All in all it's a nice place to work. They train you and pay you well for the job's you complete and more if you're trained in multiple departments.

No one knows what they are doing. Management doesn't care what happens on the floor as long as product is getting sent out. It is very relaxed until they need something from the floor, then it's everybody but managements fault. They have very poor planning and then the plant and production managers blame the workers. They switched to a new computerized system that was not ready to come to the floor with nothing but a few PowerPoint slides explaining how it worked. It obviously did not work correctly and there were issues all day everyday and not even a pizza party for the workers, but management got to take their family out to a nice big company paid meal so that's cool I guess. It's like working at every other big company, they pay the higher ups a butt load of money while the people that actually make the company money get crumbs. They gave everybody a big raise after at least 15 people quit in less than a month so the pay is at least good now.

Worked there as a temp for a short period of time until I found a permanent position in my field.  ALL co-workers were approachable for questions / help.  As a temp I was treated exactly the same as a permanent employee.   Management was on the floor frequently to solve problems or check progress.  Safety is very important to the company. Although safety glasses, steel toe shoes are required it is not uncomfortable performing the tasks through out the day.

Suggestions from anyone are always welcomed by management.

During my short stay with the company, I observed no yelling or harassment from anyone including management. 

Very positive work experience at Oliver-Tolas.

Processing orders, running through MRP for raw material orders, managing cores and cartons, reviewing approved supplier to determine expired ISO certs, contracts and supplier approval status. Reviewing and closing out CAPA's. Working with facility personnel on order requests, status of deliveries, and closing CAPA's. Open projects are reviewed. Schedule meetings with suppliers and team meetings to review purchase specification. Training purchasing specification with alternate facility. Updating work instructions. Very busy days working many hours with my team. Most enjoyable part of the job is working with a motivated and fun team.

Oliver Products Company as a whole is not a bad place to work, the benefits, bonuses, and work itself are worth most of the trouble. I find fault in the management.
Hiring internally is great, it gives people a chance to move forward and gain experience in areas they might not otherwise have a chance to grow into, however there should still be a standard in which they hire people for management positions. Oliver has shown, on many occasions, that they hire 'yes men' for the management positions. This allows one persons views and voice to be heard without anyone interfering, for better or worse.

HR Department is 5 star. Great people.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There's no best part it's like being in kindergarten versus a real place of work 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with the politics of this place there's no happy medium. If you like to not work or not to be ethical in any standard this is the place for you

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's utterly ridiculous and borders on being illegal in its treatment of employees that work for them

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My typical day construed of dealing with people who think working is a popularity contest and don't actually do anything they're paid to.

I was heart-broken leaving this job.  I still miss my colleagues, but I could no longer endure the issues brought on by management.  When Oliver started acquiring competition, everything looked great for investors, but the reality was that management change was horribly detrimental. Since the pharmaceutical packaging industry is such a niche industry, Oliver sought to hire management from failed competitors. This makes no sense and had naturally horrible results.  Given the recent turnover rate, if you are a decent engineer, content to work in the 30% to 60% percentile for the majority of your career, your job security with OHP is good.  Your chance for advancement is next to nothing.

Very enjoyable first few months.  After about 5 months I noticed the favorites and special treatment of certain individuals.  Day shift is full of elderly clicks with average operators who intentionally do things to have other operators, to try to get them to fail, or put spotlights on your small mistakes to cover up there average abilities.  The team Leader is not a good leader, makes putting tape in a straight line sound difficult, while also acting like your 15 years experience is nothing because he knows all and your just the beast that runs the machine.

Trainers talk down to you during your training period. 
Supervisor does not care about issues that come up at work between employees. 
Supervisor forces games in meetings before shifts to “boost morale” when most just want to work and go home which lowers morale. 
Supervisor will stare at you to a point of feeling super uncomfortable. 
Employees are very rude to the new hires. 
Very much the feeling of cattle instead of a human being. 
Was not told about the forced mandatory overtime when hired just surprised with it after being brought in.
