ROYAL OAK ENTERPRISES

I Currently work here. The company seems to be out of touch on training and real world industrial needs. It does seem to be steady but ultimately feels like the company is not motivated to grow or try new advancing ideas. The company will promise tools to only find that the company ignores demand and strategic pryer proper planning. They will cut corners and short cut safety. Also make shift changes with out any communication or insight. So life and work balance will be interupted with out notice. As far as communication from management, it's fairly if not to none. Unfortunately Royal Oak has it's way of running and the culture is not one of success. Unfortunately the company has a fast turn around of it's employees. Stress levels high. I think the company can be a better place to work if the company would try and learn better management techniques. 

- you wake up, you pack charcoal for 10 hours, you go home

- I've learned that you work some jobs just to get by temporarily until something better comes along

- management will critique you over the smallest of things when they know less about your job than you do

- hardest part of the job is doing brainless and strenuous work that gives you no real worthwhile skills

- the most enjoyable part of the job is depending on your shift you only work 3-4 days a week (10 - 12 hour shifts) 

Work here just to get by temporarily until something you actually want to do that is worth your time comes along. 

That factory has been around for awhile so between the wear and tear and the fires that ruined a majority of the equipment. They need to shut down long enough to replace the machines and equipment and not just rig the machines to hopefully last a shift or two. Alot of people has been hurt and more to come if it's not replaced. Its a huge safety Hazzard!!  And another problem is it's ok for family to work there. Which is not the problem but if your related to some higher up people there you get to do nothing and get away with it! While all other employees break their backs!! 

I run a line, bagger,baler,and heat tunnel. I have to come in make sure my line is set up and ready to run before my guys arrive at five thirty. I have to make sure that my guys(usally5),are doing what they are supposed to do, make sure that my scales are putting the right amount of charcoal is in the bag, I have to make sure that my computer to scales is properly set,i have to make sure my sowing machine is properly sowing right,constantly changing ribbon on my sowing machine and thread.the hardest part of my job is operating equipment that is old and out of date.

Walking into my office was like walking back to the late 1990s. Analog phones with touch-tone dialing, paper, old paintings on the walls, paper, offices and no/little shared space, paper, and did I mention paper? Every form is hand filled out on paper and handed over to the appropriate person. 
Their mainframe is similar to a monochrome terminal that is going on 35 years old. While some technical updates are happening, it is being executed by leadership stuck in the 1990s or early 2000s (poorly executed by today's standards)

I was 37 when I started working there and still am. I been on disability since I was 18 never been able to hold a job more than a few month. I never worked in a factory before so I didn't know what to think but it turned out to be an easy job and there patient with you as long as you are trying. I been working there since Feb. Of 2019. I plan to stay there untill I retire.

Royal Oak had knowledgeable leadership, and, improvements that were in the works. EHS really cared about the safety of the employees. Senior management asked a lot from the plant managers without having the time to offer the training needed to be successful.

Most operations at Royal Oak are fast paced. Pay is decent for the area, but compared to other Royal Oak facilities just a couple hours away, could be better. Ellsinore under new management and has had a big turnaround over the past year. Overall it is a good place to work for thus area.

ROE - does not offer work/life balance. The culture is very top down. If you are looking to be appreciated, happy, successful and grow with a company- look somewhere else. 
ROE - is not supportive of it’s workforce and the is very aggressive in Management style. You must have thick skin!

This company is horrible !! The management is laughable. Barely have any parts to fix things and they work you like a dog! They dont care unless the logs are being made. Constantly  changing things at the last sec. Then change back or management changes there mind while your changing equipment  around . It's the most mismanaged place I have ever worked  and extremely  hostile work environment!!
