Typical work day is right away bring in work from outside because according to upper management everything has to go today it's all hot. Everyday you are met with back-orders that have to get out yesterday form management and 5 to 7 other staff who required it must go now. this work flow is everday. upper management will require you to go to depths of the sea to meet demands without parts and then sometimes send out materials incomplete as customer requires then customer will blame you for doing exactly what they wanted. You doing things to try to get structure because the company hasn't put things in place to operate smoothly and you constantly go out of your way for bad quality and late work-flow doing 100 things a day all day and it doesn't stop. It is never enough. And we met weekly demand and outdid other depts and we still needed to improve. We are literally working with issues that aren't addressed at IP or Op and it was our issue to fix this and get out. Management doesn't support you and sometimes their pocket matters more than your health and your own pockets. It takes a while to grow here and they will literally hand out title to people just they know them outside of work. Some dept are stressful until you speak up. Yes you should do your job but you could be threatend with you job if you won't offer to stay even if you already have 50+ hours. 

A typical workday starts with watching the department managers family ( yes, they let him hire his family members) gather around and drink coffee while watching everybody else work. Management, from the department supervisor to the Chief Operating Officer, don’t care anything about the employees, just lining their pockets by sending work to outside vendors and getting their kickback under the table. Sad part is, they don’t even try to hide it. Everyone in the plant knows it. Workplace culture is awful. They talk about how you should work hard so your yearly performance review will be good. I can’t speak for everyone, but I haven’t received a performance review in 6 years. Hardest part of the job is trying to motivate yourself to work hard knowing there will be no reward. The only good thing about working there is most of your fellow employees are great. If you value your happiness, find somewhere else to work. Turnover rate is very high for a reason.

I usually work 8-9 hours a day. I do have family and we do have illness and sometimes emergencies that happen. This company is very understanding when I have needed to take off. My job entails deadlines that have to be met several times a day. I have a management team that I can lean on to assist when I see that I am falling short of meeting those goals. I have worked in several different departments through out the company. I have learned numerous skills and appreciate the fact that they always gave me the opportunity to grow. I enjoy coming to work and the stability I feel with this company. The company is growing and I am excited about my future with them.

This place is an okay place to work if you have no intention on advancing your income or just need temporary employment.  All the upper level managers have their hands in the owner's pocket getting kick backs and have even contracted their own businesses as vendors.  There is very little appreciation for the employees and definitely no room to advance unless you are really good at brown nosing. If business slows down, there is zero loyalty to employees, and layoffs are based solely on whether or not your manager "likes" you with no consideration of your work performance. (No, I did not get laid off if you are wondering).

Pros
-Non-management staff are nice
-Lots to learn. You'll have a lot to put on your resume.

Cons
-Management was arrogant and were constantly in a power struggle against each other.
-Pay and benefits were a joke
-Everything was an emergency all the time
-HR was infamous for being terrible and nobody wanted to talk to them about anything
-Basically a dead-end job
-They promised several days would be holidays and then forced everyone to come in on those days anyways
-Work environment is dirty and feels lifeless. Breakroom feels like a prison cafeteria most of the time.
-Owner of company shoves his political beliefs down everyone's throats constantly.




Disorganized workplace. Management is weak and shows very little concerns for the employees interest. No room for advancement and employee receives no type of financial incentives. Human resource runs the company like a dictator. Preferential treatment is shown to certain individuals.There is something crooked about this company and how they pay their employees. Stay away from this place. They will terminate you for any reason.will find ways to put anyone under the bus.

CEO and COO are too disconnected from employees and let managers/directors gate-keep them from understanding what is really happening in the business and from the people doing all the work. 1 wk PTO for a year, can't use for 6 months, 5 days of pd sick per year can't use for 90 days. Policies are outdated and nothing is enforced especially if you are favored. Once someone doesn't like you it doesn't matter why, you're done.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Nothing I like that company , that why I quite job there

Not a great place to start or make a career at. No promoting from within, they always look outside the company for any level of management. Raises are small if at all.  %1 1/2 for all employees on the floor last year. Didn’t quite keep up with inflation. Most of the employees are great. Always a few exceptions. 

Average environment. Overmanaged.

Employees work very hard for very little reward. I feel the intent for a good work environment is there but the management is overbearing and does not give employees the room to grow and learn and/or the ability to make solid judgements and decisions for various departments.
