A typical day at work in the life of a Quality Technician is coming in to find out what is running and to make sure that the transition between the previous shift and my shift is smooth.  Making sure all of my operators have everything they need before they start there day.  I have learned how to make a decision and how to stand by it.  I have also learned how to be a little more aggressive within my field in terms of making decisions.  I have also learned to communicate better with everyone including upper management and being able to listen to the floor operators who run and make our bushiness what it is. The hardest part of my job is when making a decision in terms of quality being able to know if it was the right decision for the company and not knowing if I will get in trouble or not.  That is actually part of the job though, the most enjoyable part of my job is making sure that first hand all the product that gets shipped out to our customers are made of the best quality.

This has been one of the most poorly managed facilities I have worked in.  Maintenance had no leadership for most of my time there and was severely understaffed. Two mechanics on day shift, and one on second and third shift with almost 40 presses and auxiliary equipment to take care of. Maintenance also rotated on-call weekends without being paid for being on-call. Failure to respond when called in resulted in disciplinary action. Operators work 6 and 7 days a week every week, often more than their scheduled shift each day. 

This is a predatory employer who actively seeks out people who would be unemployable most places and pays them well below what they deserve for the work they put in. They then work said employees an excessive amount of hours in an environment that would give an OSHA inspector an aneurysm.

They DO NOT give a darn about you or your situation no matter if you had a death in the family or you lost a limb the night before in a freak car wreck....you would still be expected to show up for your shift and if not....then the attitude of the office is like an insincere shoulder shrug as if to say, sorry, wish there was more I could do but won't. You're expected to work 7 days a week then when you get sick cuz your body eventually gets run down and you call out 1 night and return with a doc's note guess what...you still get an automatic 3 points for first day your out sick  EVEN with doc note! Completely  inconsiderate, ridiculous, and way out of touch management.  
The one and only great thing I can say about working there...is the people I worked with on my shift anyway, are the some of the greatest, most UNIQUE (LOL!) coolest, caring group of people i have ever met....its my work family ill miss the most♡♡♡

What is the best part of working at the company?
Hard work and good attendance can make your chance of success and promotions within this company.   I truly recommend PPC to of you.  But you have to show up for work and give it a chance and you will surely be pleased. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It's very fast pace.   Falling behind makes it hard on everyone.   But if you do fall behind, continue packing only quality parts.   Someone will help you catch up. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
At first it seems like you are alone at what your doing, but with time you will feel like you are part of a work family. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Relieve someone at there work station, work a straight 8 hr shift.  Time flies by so fast, next thing you know it's time to go home.   It's truly awesome.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is plenty overtime, if you want to work 7 days a week.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Mandatory 7 days a week. Some members of management have zero people skills. And, you only get two 10 minute breaks and 15 minutes for lunch. However, they are paid breaks.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Most everybody is nice.  It is very hot in the summertime. You don't have a permanent assigned job. You move around to different lines.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It all depends where they have you working that day.

I have worked for this company for several years. If you are not willing to work 7 days a week every week they don't care about you. The company is greedy and awful to employees. Most of the times we didn't even have a clean restroom. It would do you no good to go to HR because they care less than the plant manager does. You don't get properly trained. To them all you are is a number. Drugs were very bad here. We had 1 boy OD just a few months ago in the parking lot on 3rd shift. There have been needles found by the water system before also. Not a good place to be at all.

Absolutely horrendous working conditions
Heat strokes are common, and workers get written up for having them
They lure you in with the promise of "No Weekends, I swear" only to work you to the bone every weekend
You often have to stay over for an extra shift because the person relieving you finally came to their senses and quit
If you're running out of reasons to hate life, this job will reignite your desire to leave this world

If you aren't a brown nose or a fake person you will not last. They pretend to be all about being family oriented but in reality you don't mean anything. It's about money and who is the best brown noser at that place. I personally advanced fairly quickly just to be targeted and treated like I didn't matter one bit. I eventually walked out on a decent paying but not a good job. I am in a wonderful place now that is only 7 miles from home and almost double the pay.

this place can offer a person good benefits and opportunities but it seems to never ben able to operate a full crew. The company gives to many LOW's (lack of work) daily without notice until the shift starts. The training lacks attention and the shift leaders are rude with attitudes towards new hires, training and overall doing the job they are required to do.

It seems that if you are a good hard worker that only misses work when you have absolutely no other choice and have a friendly helpful attitude you are the one that they will screw over. But if you show up to work high or drunk, never do your job and spend the entire time your on the clock spreading rumors and causing drama, they will treat you like royalty.
