Plascore

Plascore is a great company to work for, people truly care for one another.  Competitive benefits, great vacation option and offer a Sabbatical.  We all work well with one another, trying to be a team more than individuals.  We make a very unique product and almost everything is custom.  Personally I work with other engineers, manufacturing, and operators to ensure machines run well and to make the life of the operator as easy as possible.  We are all very approachable if you have questions, comments or complaints.  We all want to make this a great place to work and improve all that we do/have.  I feel my voice is heard, and I have seen suggestions I have made get implemented.  I have also taken suggestions from others and applied them to their machines to help them out.  Our CEO/Owner is a very intelligent man, who is very easy to talk to about different ideas on projects.

In the morning I would come in and set up equipment and get out drills and all tools and turn everything on.  Then I would look at the orders and start working on the most important one.
I loved my job because it taught me how to work with tools and I
enjoyed building different things and every day we built new things.
I learned how to work on the saw and I was allowed to help out in the paint department.
The sad thing was that when I started there, is when I started to
come down with graves disease and missed work and was in the
Hospital twice.   They let me go and I don't blame them, my job really required that you be there.  I have never been sick before in my
life, but it was of those unexpected things that are just out of your control.

Essential and sensitive work. Learned a lot about technical equipment and machines. Very little interaction with management. Worst workplace culture. It felt like a mini prison. Co-workers are not supposed to talk with each other. The most challenging part of the job was outright sabotage by person/people who were supposed to train new employees. They yell at you and treat you like the scum of the earth. Then they report you to the Supervisor who swallows everything they say about you. It's clearly a job security issue where they do not want anyone to come in who might replace them. Worst hypocrites I have ever seen. This explains why a company that pays fairly well struggles to hire and retain new employees. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go work there.

Worked here for quite some time with nothing but a lot of favoritism. Management picks out the people they like the best and treats every one else sub par. 
If you don't bend over backwards and kiss up you'll never get anywhere, even though you are doing your job well. If there are any problems with machines that maintenance is suppose to take care of you get blamed for it, even if you did tell them about it. 
Every one keeps passing the buck until it falls on the person with the least amount of time in and then they get rid of you.
They threaten to fire you and treat you like an idiot. 
Run the other way, they have a high turn over rate and have trouble keeping the good workers.

I have been at the company for a number of years, I started working there because the job sounded interesting and I needed a change. I stay and recommend because its an awesome place to work. The management is great, the benefits are great and the people I work with are great. Its a place that treats you with respect and they care about the well being of the employees. The work stations are clean for a manufacturing facility and safety is important. They pride themselves on being a company that didn't do layoffs during the economic downturn and I think that says a lot about a company's upper management, people are important. Did I mention they also have a quarterly bonus plan!

Work is very easy and steady for the most part. There will be times where there is lots of down time but you will have to look for things to do in the mean time, this won’t be for everyone and may take time getting used to. Overall clean work environment other than dust coming from CNC machines. Production workers are great people to work with and make getting through the work day bearable. Management makes it easy to understand what they expect from you. Supervisor checks in here and there and isn’t always knowledgeable of what is going on if any questions are asked. Beware of favoritism. 

Plascore has a small company atmosphere that allows each employee the freedom to have a big impact on the team's success. Every day has a huge variety of challenges to tackle, and most employees are not stuck with a single task to repeat all day. Almost all the coworkers are friendly and happy to answer questions or help new people. Middle management is reasonable in their expectations from their workers and do not micro-manage people. The hardest part of the job is managing and prioritizing a wide ranging list of responsibilities. However, these challenges help you learn about areas that you may not otherwise have been exposed to.

The only good about plascore is the vacation time and the Business unit manager in metals. Other than that backstabbing employees, drama like a highschool, no room for growth, no pay compensation no matter how hard you work the older employees always get favored, record sales yet no pay increases just an occasional potluck or donuts. This job has played a huge negative role on my mental health and coming to work everyday is a drag. Wish HR would do something about the known issues at hand insted of favoring older employees and turning the other way

Do not trust managers and supervisors. They are nice to your face but they will make a big deal over a minor mistake!! Nit-Picking, camera watching, finger pointers!! These individuals never make mistakes, that would take too much effort on their part!! Long term supervisors have good common sense and understand what kind of predicaments can happen from day to day. The Newer supervisors are definitely school boys that  will find fault with any body they can to make themselves look better!!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Show up, do the job you being paid for and asked to do, nobody bothers you! Very family oriented!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No redundancy built in to the manufacturing process

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very laid back company. As long as your working nobody with bother you

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
That really depends on the day. Some days are busy and hectic, some are chill, but thats life in Maintenance
