Horrible experience. The plant manager felt in order to motivate me to work harder was to belittle me on a constant basis. If he felt I wasn't performing to his expectations then he would belittle me even more. Never in my life had I felt so belittled or under appreciated. Management wasn't willing or didn't know how to teach me the skills in order to grow and succeed. It seemed that because I was given a management title  all of a sudden that I was to immediately step into these shoes and immediately succeed. If you start out as an operator don't expect to move up at all. There are some really cool people that work there, but also lots of people that are willing to throw you under the bus if they feel it will benefit them. If someone is looking to learn new skills, or is looking to develop new skills at Potters is not likely at all. Cost of living in Kingman is going up like crazy and their pay is not on pace for the cost of living in the area. A change of leadership from the top could make this place a much better place to work at. 

Private equity firm greed is atop the list here.
Management = Select few live the good life at the expense of the employees which execute. Most managers stifle employee initiative and promote mediocrity. Most expect employees to be a "one man band" - very few resources to help accomplish goals. Most managers expectations too high and the reward for achieving it is insulting (greed factor is far too high).
Employees are pretty nice people but company culture appears to be mostly all for themselves.

Incorporated glass beads into Nylon for reinforcement or into road striping for reflectivity. Road striping was a new field for me, learned a lot on that project. Management cooperative in assigning projects and offering help to get the job done. Coworkers knowledgeable, willing to help both workwise and informationwise.
Difficult part of job was learning to operate a commercial size injection molding machine.
Best part of job, putting down striping in Giants Stadium parking lot.

On-call periods from working in engineering.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
When we had good leadership, the culture was fabulous.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day consisted of completing PM tasks, making repairs. Lots of equipment projects.

The best part of the day is interacting with the very hard working plant personnel - work ethic is outstanding for all these folks and they all understand the team concept.  Day to day operations are very fast paced.  You quickly learn how to solve problems and succeed, having very little resources at your disposal - creativity and flexibility are a must.

8 to 10 hr day depending on time of year.
The logistics part of my job was completing new to me.
I had a Plant Manager and also worked closely with Potters other Plants across the United States.
During the busy season was always a challenge getting product to State agencies and Contractors to keep their projects on time.


Strong and stable company with over a century of proven innovation and success in the highway safety industry. The team dynamic is very good and everyone is invested in everyone else's success. Great place to work, which is probably why the average tenure is over 20yrs.

Constant change within the organization. Recent IPO has driven lots of change and uncertainty. Company mission and leadership seems to be in constant flux. Constant restructuring on a monthly bases has left many with a lack of understanding about the companies long term goals and objectives.

This is a company for well qualified individuals who have a desire to a part of something real.  This is not a company for individuals with a flashy resumes and a line of nonsense who are looking for high pay with no effort.
