What is the best part of working at the company?
Working as a family, everyone was/is so nice there I called it a second home I miss it honestly highly recommend this company too anyone 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Honestly nothing usually everyone is doing their part here and there it will get a little chaotic but overall nothing really stressed related there

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Make sure your area is clean at the end of every word day, make sure the fans are turned off and if you see anything missing or broken report it to chain of command meaning your 2nd in line supervisor, mine deserves a raise but that’s not here or there, laughter every single day, even if your sad they’ll cheer you up like an actual family.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Full of laughter first thing in the morning and then a speech from or plant manager real influenced and not a bad guy at all, then you go in at 6:00 am. I usually went to the 7 head and graded wood from the good to the bad now from my understanding working here at this spot 7 different types of wood would be cut here some would be thick, some would be very thin, at the end of the day we clean all the saw dust and dispose of it in a proper manner.

I currently work at Pallet One Of Butner,NC ...and i have had a great experience ..i have made a great amount of friends..since the time ive been there..some problems you do have is some lazy co workers that dont want to work..or are there just for a paycheck..that wont even push their selves to even make more money or advance..but their are plenty of guys that will roll with you and work hard and show dedication..i have a great supervisor that has helped me along the way that has made me one of there best employess they have..they give out raises every month to the guys who deserve it..so when i look on here and see people complain on reviews ..espcially at the Butner Plant ..they were probably lazy and show no effort in anything..Pallet One is a good company to work for..good benefits etc..if your a hard worker and show out everyday..you have job security..i only thing i wish that would get better..is that maintence would get alittle better at what their doing..it sometimes goes down to that the saw operators has to fix it there selves.

We will cut and re-cut boards through a trim saw and re-saw, respectively throughout the day depending on what orders have more priority and whatnot
I learned multiple positions including re-saw operator and stalker machine operator
Workplace culture is pretty much you would have the better and easier positions there if you are friends with the supervisors and doesn't matter how much you know or want to learn
Physically speaking I would say definitely re-saw operator and mentally speaking it would either forklift driver or trim saw operator
Funny enough. The best part about my work would probably be when we're running or cleaning

A typical day at work:
Start at 6:30AM.
Lock in and fine tune schematic for the day.
Set machine to warm up cycles for 10min.
Begin pallet production, keeping hoppers loaded, and place boards on schematic, approximately every 1.5 minutes.
lunch break at 12:00pm.
Clean station, then begin production until 20 minutes before the end of the shift.
clean station, then clock out.

What I learned:
I'm stronger than I thought I was.
Detailed efficiency makes monumental differences.
downtime destroys average production rates.
Quality product is better than quantity product.

Management:
Management had a high turnover rate.

Co-workers:
I worked alone on the only "one man machine" in the warehouse, but I had a great forklift operator!

Hardest part of the job:
Keeping high production rates was, extremely physically taxing.

The most enjoyable part of the job:
whenever everything was working like it should.

A typical day at work for Golden Corral could be very stressful due to the lack of teamwork needed to make the restaurant a successful environment. The management was poor due the fact of "favoritism" amongst co-workers. I got along with most of the people who worked there because we all agreed upon one thing and that was that the restaurant was falling apart due to the management. To me there was no hardest part of the  job because for the while that I was there I mastered every station in which I was assigned to. So when it came time to close everything down I was on it with no hesitation or problems. The most enjoyable part was the food honestly especially when I prepared it myself

Very hard work with one 45 minute break a day. Upper management was very unprofessional and if they personally disliked you, for whatever reason, they treated you poorly and differently than everyone else. The absolute worst work environment I've ever experienced. Overall, I gathered that maybe 20% of the employees were actually happy. The overwhelming majority hated their job and coming to work for this company every single day. Hard work gets you nowhere there, only favoritism. I hope to never be a part of any company like that again. 

During each day at my three month period of employment with Pallet One in New London Wisconsin i would
be all around the shop filling in and completing the necessary duties of which needed to be done throughout
the day such as helping with stacking on one of many different running machines at Pallet One South Plant.
One of many other duties of mine and my ex-coworkers were, running the "GBN" another of many operational
machines running in the shop through the day. I would also be on the tables making many of the great pallets,
the number one pallet making industry in the nation has, Pallet One.

Typical day was fun and productive;
Learned to not to expect positive recognition;
Plant management was awesome:
Co-workers were a Great Team to work with:
Hardest part of the job was to finish a days work with Corp. there:
The most enjoyable part of the job was working when corp was not there.

The CEO is a GREAT Man. That is all I can say about the CORP Team. The others from the COO down--- No Comment...

I started out as a forklift operator which quickly turned into supervisor. Along my journey I received some unmatched benefits and had some awesome coworkers to work around but every time I had and issue with management or someone else did it seemed to always get looked past. Overall I would work for them again and I would recommend them to friends and family for employment based on my experiences.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good evening.... Worked with heavy duty 16 foot mat's and 20 foot crane mat's.  Made part of the company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything is stressful because you have a time you try and keep your customers happy.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Safe environment and clean work place, everyone as a team player 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Safe and constantly moving around.
