PG Technologies

A Typical Day at Work
A typical day involves supporting production operations, training new employees, answering questions, monitoring processes, and helping troubleshoot issues throughout the shift. The environment is fast-paced, and priorities can change quickly depending on production needs and staffing levels.

What I Learned
I learned a great deal about manufacturing operations, process improvement, employee training, and working with different departments to achieve production goals. The position helped me improve my communication, problem-solving, leadership, and coaching skills.

Management
Management’s expectations are generally clear, but communication and consistency can vary depending on the situation. At times, employees may feel that production demands outweigh employee concerns. More employee involvement in decision-making and problem-solving could improve morale and engagement.

Workplace Culture
The workplace culture can be challenging due to staffing shortages and the pressure to meet production goals. There are good employees who work hard and support one another, but the environment can sometimes feel stressful. Teamwork often depends on the individuals you work with rather than a consistent company-wide culture.

The Hardest Part of the Job
The most difficult part of the job is balancing production demands with limited resources and staffing. Employees are often expected to adapt quickly to changing priorities while maintaining quality and efficiency.

The Most Enjoyable Part of the Job
The most enjoyable part of the job is helping others succeed. Training new employees, seeing people develop confidence in their roles, and working alongside dedicated coworkers can be rewarding. The experience gained in manufacturing operations and leadership development is also valuable.

This used to be a good company to work for until a couple of years ago when management changed. Management only cares about numbers, and not the employees. The training is a joke. The turnaround rate is high because most of the time two people would have to do a four man job, and sometimes it's only one person doing it. It's hard to move up within the company, but the benefits are excellent. They start you off with 2 weeks vacation on day 1. They also offer health, dental, vision, life insurance, 401k and a pension plan on day 1.

Overall, PGT was a good place to work. It provides many opportunities for advancement and travel. The leadership team was very willing and able to work with you in order for you to advance your own self. You are sent to classes to enhance yourself about items that would be necessary for the job.

This job is horrible.. I wouldn’t recommend this particular job at the Ellisville location to anyone. They have management their that don’t know how to speak to grown individuals. There are good people that are there but when the bad manager that are over them step up they don’t say much

Very undependable. The managers suck so bad the company is failing. Instead of running a productive work environment, they decided to terminate half of the workers. No notice, just fired half the employees, and left the other half wondering when they will be next. 10/10 WOULD NOT RECOMEND

It's pretty easy, but you have to have strong attention to detail. 12 hour shifts mostly unless you're in the office. Points system, so if you have sick kids or transportation issues, it makes it hard to keep your job. Otherwise, decent benefits, they also have a pension. 

When two companies merged I was recommended to be "rehired/continued employment" with the newly formed company.  The previous company made sure we were treated more than an off the street hire.  Work environment is very good and Safety is the First Priority.

It’s not a bad place to work but management could use improvement. It can be stressful because of the expectations with limited resources. Instead of looking for positive out on things it’s always negative. The vacation and benefits are good.

I really enjoyed my time with PG Technologies.  They offer a positive work environment with quality leadership.  I was able to work in a fast paced workplace while learning from those in positions above mine.

Been with the company multiple years at this point, and so far have had a pleasant experience. Good people to work with, and interesting line of work.
