4 production shifts, none of which are desired because you always have to work a day of the weekend anyway. They advertise 3.5 day work week, but it's 3 @12hrs and 1@6 or 7hrs. Pay was horrible when I started $10.50 per hour through temp service, year before that they paid $9.50..2011?

Now they are direct hiring and HR improved due to inability to obtain or retain any quality cantidates.

Unfair payscale, favoritism based, raises every 6 months. Make the right moves and get to top rate quickly, I've seen ppl get $3 raises when others get 18 cents. Same rule for "profit sharing bonuses." Benefits were pretty good, no real forced overtime but that was then and this is now. 

But from what I hear the business isn't looking good, they laid off a lot of people during COVID-19, 
lot of employees got it due to it being 100 degrees everywhere and with non-competitive wages I don't think they will bounce back. 

Pros i would have to say would be the pay, pension which is exceedly rare these days, 401k, paid time off, paid holidays and more.  However not much room for advancement, unless you get 1 of 6 operator jobs per crew, or manage to get/want one of the lead or managerial positions. 

This place works 12 hour shifts, so if you perfer to get your working done in larger time chunks, there by creating more days off.

Cons would have to be the heat, if its 90 ourside you can bet that building could easily be at 110 degrees. There isn't much free time on work days, unless you sacrifice sleep. The bigger con would have to be that they don't follow their own policies very well. Also they tolerate sub standard performing employees, for longer then they should. I am all for giving the new guy a chance, but when its a clear matter of being lazy, something should be done.

It's not that they're a bad company to work for - on the contrary, they do try to build from within and have promoted individuals from the production floor all the way to managerial positions...but sometimes these aren't the right people. They do give new meaning to the Peter Principle, the idea that people are promoted to their "highest level of incompetence". Some executives are only ever looking for the "yes men" that can tell them what they want to hear, despite the realities that may actually apply. Surely this can also be said of many modern companies, I had just hoped that I wouldn't have to endure it myself - and it's an awful way to work when you have to do it every day. Everyone else is in the same boat so you can all commiserate but ultimately you are left holding the proverbial bag while the "yes men" look like heroes. It wasn't always like this, and hopefully it won't always be so, but for now this is the reality.

Managing the west cost is a large responsibility and it helps to work with inspiring and intelligent individuals. A typical day consists of seeing customers, distributors, fabricators, designers, and OEMs.  Facilitating success with my manufacturing reps as well as coaching them to ensure sales.
The most challenging part of the job is the large territory and the travel that that entails. I also believe that coming into the plastics arena without previous industry knowledge and no formalized training in sight was quite a hurdle to overcome.
The most enjoyable part of the position is getting to see all aspects of the manufacturing business: from extrusion of the sheet to the development of ideas and concepts from the design aspect to having the material shipped out to the formers and seeing the concept come alive in 3D.

It was a good place to work at and company has a good business model.  
During Covid the business reduced significantly and then management made some decisions that were really poor that later came back to hunt them.   
The good people that get hired in management are let-go unfairly and culture sides on favor of those old toxic managers that are still there.   Very sad to see that leadership is not willing to change for the good. 
Safety manager is really not involved and pretends to care.  But the reality is different.  No one realizes that the work ethic is opposite from what is portrayed.   


This was a great place to do an internship at. I learned so much and created a strong network with my co-workers. The pay was decent for an internship around 15 an hour.  The job was fairly laid back. You can take your breaks whenever and come in whatever time you want to. As long as you get 40 hours for that week. They didn’t care if you came in at 5 am or 10 am. The job it self was very low stress. I had a lot of options of projects that I wanted to do. They were also flexible to meet spend a day with a different department. They just want you to learn as much as you can. Which is a great for an internship. The only bad thing was that I wish I had more feedback from my manger. But that is the only negative thing I have to say. I would definitely recommend to get an internship here. 

Training was poor. Management was worse. Eventually I was the only person in my department due to office politics. My 40hr./week job became an 80 hr. one. It was clear that if I did not perform I would be fired. I even worked through an injury sustained on the job and was encouraged to delay reporting it. I ended up needing physical therapy for this injury. My position was eliminated after speaking with HR about my workload. There’s no appreciation for employees here. They will use you up. Do not work here. 

Treated well as employees, encouraged to work with PPE, good quality gear, constant improvements in plant, high expectations and attention to detail. Decent safety culture. Good bonuses and company picnic.

SPI provides opportunity to improve yourself through college tuition reimbursement and it doesn't even require it to be relevant to your current job or future jobs.  As with any company different managers have different take on how to lead a team, SPI has some really good people and has some people who probably needed a little more refinement and polishing before being tasked with leading a plant.

Management used to be good until some resigned and others retired then the spots were filled with managers who do not know how to communicate with anyone in any shape or format ( unresponsive  to emails, don't order parts, and over all want you to do half there job because they can not!
