Nasty cluttered mess, with terrible to no ventilation. Very unsafe work environment, with chemicals and materials unmarked sitting about the place. Outdated safety data, fumes and toxic chemicals mishandled with no managerial support. Forklifts and material handling machinery license just freely given with little to no training. Material handlers driving in and about employee work spaces with heavy materials and not using caution around employees who are operating machines. Very loud work environment. Employees work 12 days in a row as a typical work schedule and are forced to use vacation to cover absences whenever they are ill. Employees who have covid are encouraged to come to work anyway and told to wear a mask so the other employees will know that they have Covid. Extremely poor management. The absolute worst I have ever seen in my 35 year working history. No communication.

Hour employees have been there for years some since doors open since 1970’s. It’s all they know.  The company has no desire to grow and update with the times and the mindset to change. Upper management wants change but doesn’t know how to get there. Middle management have all been promoted but only know the culture they grew in so there’s no change. Outside personal brought in are trying outsiders and are treated as such. The company expects you to make a difference but there’s no support to do so.  The pay and benefits are really good that’s not an issue. The company pays hourly and all employees very well. It’s the culture that’s toxic and you just have to decide if it’s worth working in that environment. 

Been  here over 12 years use to be a great  place  to balance  life and family  but company  greed has overcome  family  values, four days off a month meaning  you working  12 straight days  to get 2 days off,management  has no clue  just following  the every day circus ,no material to run orders and still run 12 days this been  going  on  for last  3yrs just  to boast about records and  profits being  broken and families  being  broken  apart got many genius  walking  around  but not one Can come  up with a solution  to get overtime  under control  and  save working  families  values  back together, 10min break and 20 min payed break in 8 hrs is ridiculous  ,when do employees  suppose to  rest and enjoy  life

Women are targeted by perverted men and forced to quit, get paid less than men, and are under minded in meetings. But hey they have a bowling league.
If you like being targeted and harassed for asking questions about the general safety of your environment, this place is for you. If you like doing other peoples work while getting paid significantly less than them, this place is for you. 
Place is supported by the lab techs. If it wasn't for them, the company wouldn't exsist. 
If you want a job here, go to school and apply as a co-op student, you will make more money doing the same job as a full time employee. 10/10 felt appreciated there..

This place has great benefits but are racists. There is no advancement opportunities for anyone who is not family or friends of the higher ups. Most of the team leaders aren't accountable and if you report problems, nothing is done about it and you are labeled a "trouble maker". I worked there for almost 3 years and never in my entire life felt racism until I stepped into that place. I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone unless you have family that works in upper management. First job I ever walked out of!!

During my interview I asked if degrees matter. HR said no, she was right. You can't advance even if you have a degree. It's all favoritism. Usually family members move up only. There is really no room for growth. I noticed people before me wants to move up to better positions but they get denied. The company only uses you to their benefits. "A connection you can count on" is their motto, it's not a connection you can count on... Also, you're at a disadvantage if you're a colored person. Coworkers there don't even get along. Always smack talking about each other. I would say don't waste your talent here like I wasted mine. 

Everyone has their ups and downs. However for a manufacturing plant I loved it. I learned a lot of different things while working there. Every day was a different learning curb and different position. The more you learn and know the better off you are. The advancements are incredible and the pay is well worth trying to get on with them. The OT is most usually volunteer and not mandatory. I just loved working there. I think others will too. However it is very hard to get on. If the company does good you get a Christmas bonus.

Good place to work, they will pay you  a great wage to stand around with your hands in your pockets and listen sports radio all day. If you’re looking to be trained....forget it.  If you do get a job there, be prepared to be ignored by your peers and left in the dark about any work you should be doing. The office staff are great, HR is great, the engineers are great,but the testing teams leave little to be desired. Good luck!

I’ve worked at plp for a long time and I love the people that I work with. But shift management is not that great, they will barely listen to you about problems. Machines break down and maintenance will just put a band aid on them instead of fixing the problem and management will still expect you to hit standard. Plp has great pay and good benefits and record sales but shift management needs to improve.

A typical day is normally hot and heavy lifting and a constant moving of your body. I've learned to go over and beyond to excel in company's expectations. Management is fair and highly concerned about employees safety. The co-workers makes it easier to perform your task. The hardest thing is the heavy lifting and the heat especially on a constant bases without rotation. The most enjoyable part of the job is the teamwork and company appreciation for your hard work.
