Cutting off and packing the sheet and running the lines changing thickness and demensions and colors isn't bad, but the lines run non stop and dont receive alot of maintenance. When problems do arise thats need fixed most of the time its slap a band aid fix on it and its another problem you have to keep an eye out on while maintaining sheet quality. When you get promoted to run a line you get a crash course on how to run the line for a couple weeks to a month when it usually takes a year to learn all the different quirks the line has, and your also stuck as a line lead after you start your training if you decide you dont like it during the training period they wont let you step back down they would rather run you out the door and start the whole processover again. The company also likes to run with hardly no equipment you only have a couple forklifts and banders to wrap skids up with so alot of time is wasted on looking for the equipment you even need to do your job and they have no plans to get more equipment. I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone. 

Plaskolite is a growing company with a lot of growing pains. I have worked here 10+ years now, this company seems like it’s going downhill. It’s lost it’s family feel, which is to be expected with a buyout. But cuts are starting to become more and more noticeable. Older people are not treated as well as new people walking through the door. They did a new hire pay increase and didn’t do anything for the people that had been here. So basically raises mean nothing anymore. Bonuses are getting smaller and smaller despite a record setting year for plaskolite. (In 2020.) No real advancements anymore unless your college educated. So there’s a bunch of fresh college graduates with engineering degrees running around that think that just because they have a degree then they know better then someone who’s been doing their job satisfactory for 10+ years. No more attendance bonuses. Honestly the place kinda sucks anymore. Place really needs a union. 

An overall decent job if you work night shift it seems , not so much on the 2 day shifts. Room for advancement if you're a competent employee . Day shift foremen aren't great and have high turnover rates also they  have a tendency to disrespect younger employees and allow older employees who have been there for longer slack off on work. Day shift as of now has temps running lines ( wrong with not much guidance it seems) both night shifts seem to keep employees better and train a more sufficient amount before allowing leads to be on there own . Maintenance likes to bandaid their fixes a majority of the time instead of properly fixing but what logistics/ production company doesn't 


CEO is incapable (or unwilling) to recognize that his office staff has a human side.
There's a strong discord between middle management and executive management who lack progressive thinking.  It's been sad to watch our talent get recruited for other employers who offer remote/hybrid benefits & better family values. When employee's express their needs for better work/life desires, the strong majority are left feeling unempowered. Since 2020, executive management has created a culture of undervaluing staff and creating a hopeless culture. 

90 percent of the people there don't speak or understand English, you have to communicate through a app on your phone. Management has been there for most of they're adult lifes so they don't understand what normal work ethics are when it comes to treating people of value. It's all about if they personally like you, very little to do with your actual job skills. There's a reason they can't keep people with a promising future between the treatment and the lack of pay.

This is a decent place to work. 12 hour shifts takes some getting used too. Their safety is improving. They treat new people better then what they do old people. They will raise the starting pay and not do anything for the people that have been there 5 plus years so raises don’t really mean anything. Retirement match is good. There is profit participation bonuses. And there is  usually overtime if you want it. The company is growing quick. 

I worked this factory for 10 years and never had a problem.I was  a dept lead for many years and did my best to keep production at its best.I put a two week notice in right at my 10 year mark.The management were bitter about me trying to better myself and refused to give me a 10 year award that I earned.Also at the start of the 2018 year plaskolite Zanesville raised wages for new employees.Which is great but they did nothing for the guys who put the time in.

The office staff is excellent! The manager of the company is a good person, pleasant character and always willing to help. The hours of rest are not deducted from your schedule. If you work 12 hours, 12 hours get paid, excellent! The office staff always looks after you with respect and always has a positive arrangement in your favor.
