What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at Roper is that it is one of only a handful of places in Lafayette that pay a decent wage.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part is the unfair attendance requirement especially if you’re a single parent with no support structure. Roper could care less if you get sick or your child gets sick and you have to be out of work. Even WITH a doctors note you still get pointed. You will rack up the points and then it’s adios for you. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is fine as long as you concentrate on doing your job, don’t try to make friends, and stay away from drama. Most people there seemed to be unfriendly, but they are probably just trying to abide by the above suggestions and just get through the work day.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It’s hectic. The lines start up and it’s nonstop work unless there is some problem. I personally didn’t mind the busy work because it helps pass the time. But when it’s time for a break (two 10 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch) the line shuts off at the exact time (for example 2:10) and starts back up at exactly 2:20. You lose precious time from your break because you HAVE to be back at the exact time break is over or you will be late and the line will have started up. In other words you don’t get the full allotted 10 or 30 minute break.

The pace is fast.  Everyone is busy.  They are always looking to improve, which can be exhausting.  There is a lot of overtime when the house building market is doing well.  Most Americans must be remodeling their kitchens during quarantine as we are making a lot of cooking applicants in 2020.  The people take care of one another when there is a family in crisis.    They encourage you to speak up and ask questions.  HR listens and is always very busy when you call them but tries to help.  There's a lot of stuff to keep us safe from the virus.  It's hard to wear a mask all day, but I am getting used to that (for now).  401(k) is best anywhere I have heard of.  Wellness Center on site is good for my family.  Some people come, go and then try to come back, when they realize how good it pays compared to other places.  My Team Leader is awesome.  The President actually works on the line.  

The entire orientation was nothing but a lie. Sick days, HR, compassion NON EXISTENT. HR will always take the side of your BL. I tried for a year to move from the position I was assigned. I was originally told, “You have to wait 2 years.” Then I was finally told, you just have to apply to another position. Not if you have more than 3 points you can’t. Back to sick days. You better be on that line when it starts, 1/4pt if not. I have doctor’s notes for all but I think 2 days. Orientation tells us, “Up to 5 days are covered under a doctors note.” This is a lie. Regardless, if you aren’t there the whole day, 1 pt. I have doctor’s notes to prove it. If you are assigned to line 1 on 1st shift, just turn around and leave. Unless you’re related to the BL or female or a POC, she will degrade you daily. Yelling and screaming that you’re stupid. And that word is final. There is also a mythical person here, he is in charge of the days you miss, they’ll tell you his name, but when you ask who it is, you get a look that could kill. Again, mythical. HR, well, no one is there after 3pm. So, talking to them is impossible. Better be on that line!

What is the best part of working at the company?
 Some of the people I met were great. Too good for that place. I hope they are able to get out too. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The building is not climate controlled. You’re treated like cattle whether you have potential or not. The place will literally drive you crazy. The new lines are torture. You’re treated like a robot. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This place is an absolute mess. I can see working here temporarily out of desperation, but don’t do this to yourself if you have the least bit of potential. They don’t care about you. Your area lead may if your lucky, but anyone above him doesn’t care about you and your life outside of work. The new lines are torture too. Just wanted to put that out there. Don’t let the “good pay” fool you. You’ll work for every cent and will eventually be more miserable by the day. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was miserable and tried my best to not think too hard.

Roper is a nice place to work.  I have worked with them for 20 years and I have seen the environment change plenty.  I would say a typical day at worked consisted of building 1600-1800 ranges per day.  The management here has a great area to deal with any issues that you or a team member may inquire about and you will have an answer quickly. The hardest part of my job is listening to a lot of negative activity between several operators.  I usually stay to myself and do my job so that I don't get caught up in the middle of arguments.  The most enjoyable part of my job has been learning to make the best out of any bad situations.  I enjoy working with most of the people I am around and I will miss those certain ones if I am selected for this position..

A typical day at work consists of the team leaders having an attitude while training new hires and then leaving them to fend for themselves after little training. So, basically the workers on the line or the line loaders end up catching the slack on the line or trying to help train the new hires while also doing their own work. There is no such thing as moving up unless you know someone or have a "special" relationship with someone in HR or the AL's. There are people that have been there for years with no write-ups and 0 points but will get looked over for someone that worked there for two weeks. Going to HR does not get you far, they will listen and that is literally all they do. 

The jobs aren’t hard, the pay isn’t bad. But the company suffers from poor management on most levels. My job required me to work across the entire plant and I had the pleasure of meeting a handful of fantastic leaders, sadly those are either retiring or leaving themselves so very few scattered ones are left. They may front like they care about family work balance ie. was asked if moving our work time up a couple hours and working weekends for 6 months would affect home life. I said yes as I was responsible for taking my child to school. They told me that should be the job of my wife so it isn’t going to affect me. Also good insurance but don’t expect to be able to get off in time to use it. 

You’re worked like a dog everyday for very little pay. No PTO time until you’ve been employed there 5 years. Mandatory overtime - you work until atleast 5pm daily, Monday- Friday and every other Saturday and they won’t accept doctors notes so you rack up on the points just by taking your kids to the doctor or you get sick etc. Team leaders/Business leaders play favorites so if you’re not “liked” don’t expect to move to a better job or ever get a promotion because it won’t happen. The worst place I’ve worked. Also, no COVID pay. They tell you to apply for unemployment if you get sick or exposed for you to never hear anything back from unemployment or get denied (which happened in my case because I was “employed at the time”???)
