Penny Plate, LLC

There is a significant lack of management oversight. Once the initial pre-employment screening is complete, workplace standards are largely ignored. Substance use is prevalent and visible during breaks, and leadership is fully aware of the situation but fails to intervene. 

Health and safety standards are not followed, and there is a lack of accountability for any protocol beyond basic requirements like wearing gloves. The work culture is highly competitive and untrustworthy, making it difficult to form professional connections. Leadership, including the plant manager, is known for unprofessional communication behind employees' backs while avoiding direct conversations or conflict resolution. Favoritism is common and often outweighs performance. The only advantage is the at-will nature of the role, allowing you to move on easily when a better opportunity arises—which is likely, given the overall environment.

Staring at a press that doesn't run..and God forbid even then you walk off from it,only certain ppl are allowed to get by with that.
I learned that somehow there are businesses who can manage to still be operating without proper management,supervision,but the production workers are whats keeping it going even if it means working 6 days a week!
Management? What management? 
Hardest part? Standing for 8 hours staring at a machine that doesnt run
Most enjoyable part was working with a few of my coworkers 

I have never felt so used and under appreciated in my life. From my experience, you are worked like a dog for not nearly enough pay. There is no AC (on the production floor, of course the offices up front have it) so there are meetings based on how to avoid heatstroke! Everything is alway the employee’s fault. During the coronavirus pandemic, employees were given nothing more than a few free lunches and some hand sanitizer, while the offices were redone, new forklifts were purchased, and floors in bathrooms redone. I could go on and on, but I would never recommend working here. 

It’s a faced pace hot environment. You are not treated well. Seems to be a place that rewards bad behavior over someone with a good work ethic.  Management is a revolving door from the top to the bottom. They don’t want to spend the money to hire a plant manager who knows how to run a factory. So they these no talent guys one of which was selling drugs and ends in up in crime time  they do hire people with records which I thing is good to give people a second chance but then treat them like they will never be able to leave so the hold them with no disregard at all  they run old machines that have hurt a load of employees and act like it’s always the employees fault

First and foremost this job is NOT what actually transpires from the listed title/descprition you will be expected to be a jack of all trades in many fields but the "master" will only be the supervisor no matter what you may think you know from previous experiences a "Tool and Die Technician" is basically a die cleaning janitor being a machinist or tool maker is very low on the the priority list. Very few blue prints to go by when you got to make parts or tooling,  tools for the mills or lathes are few and far between and very poor lay out and lighting in the "machine shop".

Typical day is never as planned. 
Management is pretty good. Some favoritism for some people. Attendance  is bad, most employees never see a write up.
Cost saving could start off at the top of corporate employees and work down. Lots of wasted space with some employees, others are over loaded and it's overlooked. Benefits are good, raises sometimes depends on who you are, goes by percentage.

I worked at Pennyplate for 10 years, working my way up to shipping department. The company cannot keep supervisors or plant managers. Human resources was a joke. I worked hard and was left alone on 2nd shift to do the work of 3 people which they thought was great untill it was evaluation and raise time. Even if you exceed their expectations they will not give you that credit because plant manager doesn't allow it to be given to anyone, so whats the point of tying to achieve.

Daylight hours. There is no structure in day to work.

Management is a joke. Some people get away with absolutely everything but if they don't like you can't get away with nothing. Needless to say favoritism is really bad not professional at all. Extremely hot in the summer. Attendance is always really bad. People come and go all the time. It was a lot better place with the old management.
