First off the good thing about the company is the floor teams and how well they all work together. But there is a bad case of favorites among the supervisors and operators, especially on 1st shift. But the teams working together well is where the good stops.

Managers will tell you anything to get you to come work here then never holds to their word. And when you ask about any of the things promised there is ALWAYS an excuse as to why it can't happen or has to wait longer. (I waited 2 years for training that I was promised would happen within 3 months of starting and never got a thing but was expected to work on new machines and work super fast with NO TRAINING or schooling)

The training process there is horrid, for any position. Operators are thrown into machines with no training or very little, new automation is never proved out so it doesn't even work properly and then untrained operators are made to run it. Which causes a chain reaction that causes tons of issues for maintenance and automation teams. The engineering Dept drops new unproven machines in the technical teams lap and shows little to no support. 

You have to work EVERY weekend, they said for 2 years they were starting a weekend crew but it never happened. Mainly be they can't even keep enough people for the regular shifts. Which causes all teams to work over and excess overtime. Salary people are used to the bone and still asked to do more all the time. The company uses salary employees for majority of the call ins and long hours since it's of no cost to the the company since they are all salary exempt. (No OT at all even for call ins in the middle of the night which happens all the time)

People are fed up with being lied to and promised things that never happen. Don't make a promise or tell your teams something if you can't do it. They don't forget and moral drops then people leave.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The weekends are the best part if you work the 6pm-6am shift. The weekend supervisor makes it easier and less intimidating dealing with the extruders.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working during the week from 6pm-6am with that specific supervisor! She’s unprofessional, and has no idea what she’s doing most of the time! She doesn’t train ANYONE and expects you to know it all in 90 days. She’s so bad for the company and I hope they find out sooner than later!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was decent! It’s loud and hot inside at all times, all year round. There is no culture whatsoever. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hot, frustrating, very long and boring!

Machines are constantly down & hours will be spent waiting for the machine to be brought back up because there is no sense of urgency.  You will be expected to remain at your station for the entire duration of down time as maintenance continues to walk past without interest. A strict no phone policy exists. Therefore, you will spend 12 hour shifts glued to one station without the option of using headphones. Your survival will depend upon the supervisor. The supervisor is insensitive to those that aren’t favorites and is invested in eliminating those who refuse to play an inferior role. Surviving long term requires complacency and submitting yourself to power dynamics. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
There are some good people that work there, just not in Plant Management. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having your job hung over your head, dishonesty from Management, extremely long hours, no money to fix issues. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
High stress in most positions. The culture is lie whenever it benefits you. Plant Management does this daily so it's accepted throughout the shop floor. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
12-14 hour days, 7 days a week. They cannot keep people because they treat them so badly. They are always short handed.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

(3rd shift operator) The job is not hard and it's not dirty. You may be assigned to different machines that are fairly easy to learn. 
Sometimes you will work alone, sometimes with others. ** Keep your personal business to your self!!**
You will probably never know your expected production so just keep working until a lead tells you to stop. Someone is supposed to come to your machine to let you go to break(3 breaks for 12hr shifts) 
Doctors statements for absences are irrelevant to their point system.
Pay is bi-weekly.

I have been with Roechling for almost 16 years total. I love Roechling but this last year we have a new plant manager and planning is now reporting to production. there is no common ground with logistics and production. You can't work enough hours and we are now manually planning even with SAP. I just need a change to have a better personal / work life balance.

I was trained at Rochling on how to run specific jobs and how to read work instructions and follow them. The most enjoyable part of the job was being knowledgable about the process of most of the jobs ran and being able to train a new employer on how to perform this job correctly. The job was a team oriented environment.

no one communicates and nobody in charge knows that’s going on, not even hr. the supervisors suck and play favorites. hr refuses to help and just pretends not to know. if you’re not a favorite the job is miserable. people come and go so fast they’re constantly understaffed. there is no room to grow. the managers and leads don’t do anything all night except watch you struggle. the schedule constantly changes and i was working 6 days a week at one point
