If you just want a “decent” paycheck, this place is for you as long as you can manage to put up with the daily bull that happens. I had to resign last week because of my lead, the hours, and I needed more money. I asked for more overtime, yet the said no, even though they have people getting close to 100 hours of work time a week. Ridiculous. They pick favorites. Just because your lead is kind to your face, doesn’t mean they respect you behind your back. My lead and I started working there the exact same day. She ended up being a lead 3 months after getting hired on when her and I had the same amount of knowledge. She constantly ran her mouth about me even though I would come in and jump right into the task at hand. Instead of reprimanding the leads, they just move people to different lines. Do NOT trust anyone that works here. Most are convicts and the ones that aren’t, just as shady. Let’s not forget about the random mandatory overtime that’ll come up and if you miss it, you get a write up. This is the place where you’re required to respect your lead and superiors with 0 respect in return.

I've been here for awhile and for the most part it has been ok and the pay is decent now but the lack of good management makes it a difficult place to work. There are three supervisors for the area I work in, too many for a small amount of employees. They each have their own ways of doing things instead of adhering to the handbook and the main one doesn't care about the employees at all and the other two just throw favoritism around and make rules for one person and lets others do as they please. The only advancement is being able to take a test to be an A operator as long as the position is open otherwise no advancement and lead positions are only given to employees chosen by the members of management, based on favoritism, instead of letting others apply for the open positions.

Management does not honor the job bidding process that has been set in place. They pick and choose the people that they want (favoritism). Even if that person has no prior experience over someone who does. They provide very little or no training at all. No opportunity for advancement because of the favoritism,  so therefore no chance for more pay except for the very little raise that you get once a year. If you are lucky, you may get a quarter.  Bathrooms are not maintained properly.  They are always dirty and running out of toilet paper, paper towels, and soap. The breakroom tables, microwaves,  and refrigerator are always dirty.

A typical day at work included unfair treatment from the supervisor and manager within the inventory department.  I learned that it didn't matter how hard you worked or how great you were at your job.  If they decided they didn't like you, or you didn't want to hang out or hang out with them outside of work, you were nothing to them. Management seemed to need scapegoats to explain why things weren't working and were very dismissive of anyone having ideas for improvement.  The only good thing about going there was the friends I made.

Employees work solo, plenty of upper management to ask for help. It is very community oriented with plenty of extra-curricular employee activities like company sponsored lunches, a health committee, and walk/runs for charity. HR department is very helpful. Unfortunately, more emphasis is made on being a doormat than your job performance. Over all, a decent place to work for the wages.

You have to have a job, it is.
If you can handle your coworkers talking N judging you behind your back, cause that's how they get ahead at Possitronics. Your overtime is mandatory, yes could take your Sundays also. Safety could be a concern, they get a new person to run safety every couple years. So project for safety talked about never finished.
 Worked with others(company's) 10+ years. Either management put camera's through out plant to oversee or they got lazy , why I believe there is no increase in work attitude towards the better. Let the leads / Foreman run things.
 She's not happy Nobody's Happy.

Its a good steppingstone to other opportunities but not a good place for long term goals or advancement. Company has a hard time seeing good in their employees and benefiting from it. Management doesnt give good training and they don't find ways to use their employees to the best of their abilities. Would be better suited if they didnt let people grow into management by favorites and more so by talent and ability.

They go by the ABC rating system for a lot of their operators. A is top, and equal skill to a lead, B is average and what you ought to know anyway for working there, and C is a starting point. If a C operates fails a skills assessment, they can retake it at a later time, but if you fail too many times, you're out. They're strict with tardies and times. The productivity people hover and can be condescending. If you get to be an A operator, you'll not likely go much higher, since the managers stay in their positions.

They like to begin new classes with ten apprentice trainees,"Hoping to get one apprentice who successfully completes the training". As far as work/life balance, during a meeting of all apprentices plant wide, we were told an absence of any kind for the remainder of the training would result in elimination from the program. When a question was asked to clarify this new demand,"What about the death of a close family member like a spouse or parent," the response was,"No absence will be excused!"

Politically correct college newbies hiring other college newbies & out of shape, sensitive others. It was a snitchy environment and few were willing to communicate interdepartmentally. I watched older, experienced, quality talent get fired because their management couldn't manage. I've seen degreed engineers and managers quit for lack of advancement opportunities. I was a headhunter contractor and I'm glad to not be there now.
