It has become a terrible place to work. Since the company was sold everything has taken a huge fall; sales, quality, output and moral. Once sales slows everything else goes with it. At this point leadership only cares about money. They destroyed the maintenance department and engineering is a joke. The production schedule has been shortened due to lack of sales. The amount of good people that have left is mind blowing, they were the only reason it was tolerable.  Sr leadership has no idea what is going on and they think everyone leaving is normal business climate for today but thats not the case,  it’s due to the moral they have created. People aren’t staying due to it used to be a great place to work any more. 
Front line leadership is clueless and reactionary, all the good ones have left as there are way better opportunities out there. 
If you are looking for a place to work where you are stressed out, get no direction, get stabbed in the back, learn on your own, have terrible moral with horrible benefits this is the place for you!
The positive here is you can disappear in the warehouse for a few hours if you want and no one will notice or care. 

The Delavan facility has so much potential. Brand new facility with newer machinery and climate controlled. Very nice place to work. I feel like the weakest link is management.. On a face level people are great. Happy, smiley, and welcoming. The longer you work here you see that it can be very cliquey. There are certain members of management that treat people horribly and despite the amount of times people bring it up it’s swept under the rug. There is also a serious lack of staffing issue. Most departments are under staffed and there is not much support to work around this. We are instead told “we do what we can to support our customers. We need to do what we can to achieve green bars and gold stars!” (Production metric) It’s definitely not uncommon for people to get burnt out and feel like they have no purpose. If this company could turn around this mentality I think that radius could be an amazing company to work for. There are regular lunch ins, especially in Delavan. Management needs to actually acknowledge the issues and address them in a productive manner. 

As a new hire, you will be constantly left alone for days in a row to fend for yourself. Have a problem with shipping paperwork? Tough. There is no management there to assist you, and your trainer wont respond to your texts/calls. And when the paperwork comes out wrong, you are blamed. 

Your shift lead will also throw you under the bus when hes in the wrong. Then have you fired. I was literally blamed for equipment damage he committed. When i asked the hire  ups to follow up on the investigation, i was told "I wouldnt worry if i was you", then fired days later. 

Some of the first things you will learn about the company when you begin talking to people there, is that there are no raises, people quickly get sick of situations that are never altered, and blamed for events that are out of their hands. They are very under staffed and will make you pick up the work for those positions that wont fill up. 

How this company was rated as one of the top places to work in Wisconsin is beyond me. Upper management has no idea what is going on. You go to them about problems but they just sweep them under the rug. They hire a warehouse supervisor who has zero experience in warehousing or actually dealing with a staff. Never showed any interest in learning the basics of the department , never disciplined anyone for not doing what they should have, relies on everyone else in the department to cover for him and his incompetence. Then they have a person in upper management in charge of the warehouses who never worked in a warehouse in her life. Once this place decided to fire the plant manager the place went downhill. I would not recommend this place for anyone to work at. You will be miserable everyday and get no support from anyone . 

There's a lot to say about Radius. Workplace moral is very low, majority of the employees are very unhappy, from consent schedule changes. Upper management will stab you in the back. The 3 things they "pride" themselves on is mentoring, coaching, and direction, this is not the case with upper level management. Mangers are two faced, they will tell you one thing and when it back fires or doesn't work and get pressure they change there stories and make it your fault. Zero accountability. If you are not apart of the "culture" that they have in their mind you are dropped like a fly. Zero compassion with employees that have personal issues and not work with them unless there in the "click". Upper management wants to improvement but unwilling to look at themselves or take suggestions.   

Schoeneck Containers taught me many things about myself as well as the plastic industry.  I learned things about different types of machines and PLC's that I didnt know before I started working here.  The work environment provides stability and is a catalyst to learn about onesself as well as how to be a good employee.  The only thing that I didnt really like about working here is that there was not much room for advancement and that the company implement training program was not very helpful.  I had to learn what I learned by reading manuals and by working with other experienced employees.

They offer great benefits and pension plans after probationary period.Hire on and annual bonus are offered as well. Unfortunately they have high demands with not enough team support. Managers are more concerned with meeting goals rather than assuring employees have enough coverage to complete tasks. Constant communication issues during the night shifts.Overtime is offered but at times also demanded, downside is that they roll over the OT hours so it's  hard to keep up and actually see what you're  working for. Often last minute calls for coverage or changes in scheduling causing conflict for staff.

Really poor place to work if on the production floor. Looks great in the office,  they all have fun and enjoy their job.  The old timers always talk about how good it was but that looks to be over. There is no training, little to no guidance and it’s just chaos on the floor. Every day is a different direction there no consistency since it’s so out of control. Us on the floor and the floor leaders are so frustrated because leadership does not hear anything we say, unless giving notice then we are important. 
When I started here there was good maintenance and engineering to help us now there is not either. 

 


A very good place to work with opportunity for growth. Not all about the numbers but focused on quality. Very worker friendly atmosphere with great wages and benefits. Frequent job meetings to address employees needs and concerns. Employees were considered as members and not just employees. Very innovative company in the process of expansion always eager to promote members.

They bully, isolate, gain up on employees. No communication to what's going on. They will put you in the most difficult situations and allow no one to help you. Management is trash and only care for the money and themselves. The machines are constantly not working correctly, so you are living him a tedious constant chaos for 12 hours.. do not work here. They can't keep employees for a reason. This is the most mentally and  physically draing job  and will suck the happiness and passion right from you and no one cares how much they make their employees suffer.
