Timeline are very unreasonable and you are treated sorry if you don't make the deadline.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Coworkers, definitely not management

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Micromanagement from CEO down to plant manager. Every decision is made for you and you have no rights to work without being told your opinions are wrong

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was extremely toxic, safety is when they feel like it but production will always be above quality and safety

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very stressful and a lot of meetings

Changes in work schedule w little notice. Lack of empathy and respect for employees. Nepotism. I showed up for work on the weekends several times , waited for 1/2 hr and foreman never showed up or called. I left and went home and they acted like it was my fault I didn't sit around waiting for them to show up. Cheated out of over time hours because office lady is too stupid or lazy to make sure hours are done correctly or to correct them when mistakes are pointed out. It's ok if you do drugs if you are a family member.

Poor training process, lack of oversight from management. Disconnect between different departments within the mill. Not welcoming to outsiders. Lack of preventative maintenance and failure to see its value. Management did not treat employees with respect. Issues were brought up to HR with little to no change. Witnessed high turnover of employees in little time spent there. 

The people at SmartLam are what make this job truly enjoyable. Everyday people have smiles on their faces while working to achieve common goals. The management team is committed to the safety and wellbeing of their employees. Hard work is rewarded and incentives are put in place to motivate employees to broaden their skillsets.   

For being a small company it has too many management layers. The upper management like to micro manage the plants to the level of daily operations and direction, instead of insuring correct procedures and training are in place to ensure the success of lower management teams in the plant. There is also much tribal knowledge because of this as well.

Very high turnover rate. People don't stay due to the way they pay, and the job culture. Managerment don't care or listen to the staff. The healthcare plan is horrible. They pay semimonthly which cuts into overtime pay ... U might have 120hrs with no overtime. They used to pay weekly, every since they changed that everybody's been leaving...

I have been with the SmartLam team and love my workplace. I can be me and have all the support I need to grow as valuable team member. I love the open communication, honesty and family friendly environment. I'm so grateful and happy I work here!

Management is willing to let team members grow and learn new things. They are supportive of families and understanding in emergencies. Great team from top to bottom.

Frequent Saturday work was required.  This was Saturday requirement was not specified at the time of employment.

The culture of the company in general was one of job specificity.  The was little hope of advancement.  Management was in tune with issues faced by every-day workers.
