Royal-Plastics

My typical day at work as a floor person is usually pretty busy. Each floor person is assigned 3 presses and you're expected to keep up with them by making sure the operators have enough boxes, labels or other materials such as packaging paper, dividers, inserts, poly bags, or any other miscellaneous materials if the job requires it. I'm also required to give the operators their 2 10 minute breaks and half hour lunch breaks, do set-ups. such as making the boxes, putting together the books and labels that are required for the job and provide any additional materials needed for the job. What I learned from working at Royal Plastics is co-existing with others and how others co-exist with you, and never to tell others about your personal problems if you don't want everyone else knowing about them. I also learned a lot from other people by getting to know them and not judging them. The workplace culture is overall OK, but at some times can be very stressful. I also learned how to handle stress in a positive way. The hardest part of the job was trying to get all your work done when you have a lot of operators to give breaks to, some having to leave their machine to go to the restroom (you have to run their press until they get back) when some take a long time to get back to their press, especially when you're extremely busy and have a lot of work to do and some operators trying pick and choose when they get their breaks when you can't cater to them all the time and tying to get some cleaning done as well. The enjoyable part of the job is just talking, laughing and joking around with all your co-workers all in good fun.

Not every day is the same, I have interacted with negative and positive people, I think my manager cares about my success.  She knows I come to work every day with the mindset to give my best.  Hard part of the job can be the human side.  Some people are just not happy.  They maintain a gloomy "wow is me" view point no matter the circumstance.  Despite that, I enjoy coming in and getting on with my day.  I feel safe and appreciated.  I do have opportunities for growth - mainly because I do not baulk at constructive criticism.  I see that as an opportunity for improvement.  Royal is just the right size; not too small or big.  There is a good mix of all walks of life, ages and backgrounds.  It makes for a fun day.  

Everyday you would work on different injection mold presses.  You would fill paperwork out as to how many parts you made and how many are good and bad.  I leaned to use different tools.  Management was helpful in advising best ways to work with the parts being made.  The culture was stressful as far as getting done what needed to be done in the time given.  A lot of times the presses did not work well and techs would have to be called.  The hardest part of the job was there was no easy way to get in, you just had to get used to what you were doing.  The most enjoyable part was using learning to apply different tools to the jobs.

You are treated poorly every day, work at least 8 hours a day unless you work the overtime for 12 hours a day, and the paychecks are only good if you're able to work overtime several times a week plus Saturday.
Overtime during the week was just recently cut back so everyone has to work Saturdays now. 6 days a week at this hot, boring, mindnumbing factory wondering why you stay somewhere that pays nothing. 
It's a good job for someone that doesn't have many financial responsibilities. They also hire anyone as long as you can pass a drug test.

The place was just filthy all the time stuff all over the floors like cardboard and scrap parts there’s oil and sawdust everywhere so people are slipping all over the place and the way they fill the hoppers is unsafe I had to raise a 50 pound bucket of plastic above my head to someone who is on top of a ladder the last month I worked there the person at the top accidentally dropped a bucket on my face and I had to go to the hospital and they still haven’t figured out a safer way to fill the hoppers this is ridiculous

I take over the job when I get there they show me whats going on with the part I work hard an fast you got to be fast or the machine will mess up or the parts will not be all there. then you have to call the tech. I learned a lot of different mold jobs I got really good at it so they gave me more responsibility so I started going around and showing others how to do different jobs giving them breaks the hardest part was when the machine keep breaking down then the best part was when you don't have any bad parts at the end of your shift.

I've been working at Royal Plastics for 5 years. They have come up a bit as far as salary. They are finally paying us more than an 18th century burger flipper. The biggest plus for this place is their emphasis on safety. They have several ways of rewarding us for reporting & resolving safety issues. In the long run, it saves the company money. However, if you're looking for a career, better look somewhere else.

If you are in need of a paycheck. This is the place to go. They never had payment issues. And the pay is fair. You do have to work. And some days are harder than others. But if you are looking to get your foot in the door someplace and learn something. This really is the place. The are easy to get into. Just have to show up and do your job. 

A typical day at work is showing up at 11:30 p.m. because I worked third shift. I learned a little about the injection mold process. I learned how to identify good  parts from bad parts.
Management wasn't to bad. It was tolerable.The people I worked with were all really nice people. The hardest part of the job is not getting bored in between press cycles. The most enjoyable part of the job was working a press between to people. At least then you had someone to talk to.

you do the same thing over and over all day, it gets REALLY hot durring the summer even on night shift. but after i got promoted i people started saying i was being lazy not doing anything when i was truly the only one keeping up to the employee job requirements and then i got hurt moving a pallet. got fired then later found out they got rid of like half of 3rd shift from a friend that still worked there
