Serigraph

I worked at Serigraph on 3rd shift from 2001 to 2009 initially. I worked at the automotive plant (Plant 2) climbed up from a TCA to press operator to working in the inkroom. Back then the only thing that really made the job difficult was the economic times. We were constantly getting laid off and brought back or sent to work at other plants. I enjoyed the people I worked with and most of the supervisors I had were fair. I was let go in 2009 due to massive company lay-offs, but was given the opportunity to take a 2 year college course. I was re-employed in early 2017, again on 3rd shift in the inkroom. I only worked there for about a month before I was offered a different job in my chosen career field. However, in that month I was very displeased with the supervisor. He was young and seemed very unsure in a management position. He didn't properly resolve issues, but instead seemed to take sides when issues arose. Almost as if he played favorites. It was very different than the type of management I had been use to from years before. Depending on who the supervisor is and how they manage their team, may depend heavily on your experience there. Overall, not necessarily a bad place to work, but definitely could use some adjusting .

Serigraph is not the greatest company for improvement and growth. I have been there almost two years and have not had any progression at all. Yes, I have gotten plenty of experience but that only takes you so far. I am trying to grow with the company that I am apart of, not be held back. They are all great people, as if we were all a little family,But in my eyes that is not good fro a growing company, There is ALOT of favoritism and slander. The two biggest things I am NOT ok with in a company. People who deserve promotions and salary raises get ignored, and staff members who are friends with the "Higher-ups" get the position. Also It is ridiculous if some on eleaves the company for SEVEN years, comes back to serigraph and gets all of their seniority and pay scale back. To me that is disloyalty to the company for leaving them and "coming back". No one should be rewarded for that. they need to start back at the bottom just like every one else. The things I enjoy the most about work, is just becing able to make GREAT products for my customers. I love to learn new things and broaden my horizons for my skills. Hence why I took on the responsiblity to be the company's FIRST AID RESPONDER and be apart of the FIRE SUPPRESSION TEAM.

I never thought I would have left. After nearly 7 years at serigraph,  the new management sucked. The new supervisor harrassed me so much, I hated going into work. Everyday I woke up wondering what will I encounter today. More papers being thrown at me, following me to the bathrooms? 

Reasons you shouldn't work here:
To many lay offs
Cant pay their vendors, left with no materials for weeks
Owner has been putting their own money in to save the company. 
Serigraph rumor mill ( you want to feel like your in high school again! Please fill out an application) 
Harrassed by supervisors
Horrible pay unless your ready to take on a lot of duties for the big bucks. 
Cant rely on your super to help fix an issue with your press. Have to ask an engineer, but then get yelled at for not going to your super. 
Cant grab a snack from the lunch room quick 
Nor can you grab coffee, soda, or water from the lunch room. But you can only keep one drink out on the floor. 
Empty promises

I would have had a better review on this place two years ago. I loved what I did. I liked going into different departments and helping. Was nice to hear a super request you by name to help out more in their area or help with overtime. 


Serigraph was an awesome place to work. Despite the constant overtime due to getting caught up I have no complaints on the work place. I loved the people I worked with. The secondary departments like Screen Making and Color Tech areas are home to some of the most entertaining and supportive people you could work with. The Insurance, benefits and PTO are astounding. I wanted to retire here but unfortunately if another employee has it out for you and they have worked there longer than you, chances are they can get you fired. Which was my case. So keep your nose down and ears open. You'll quickly learn who is there to help you succeed and who is there to sabotage you. The people that want to help you succeed are awesome and give you every tool you could need to make it happen. If you get hired on do your best and use the tools available to you. I kick myself in the pants weekly for losing this job. I'd give a lot to have it back.

Not horrible work. Inks and chemicals can stink. Some lead people are great and some need to go back to where they came from.

You can move around but the new HR department won't tell you the pay scales. HR isn't around to help with insurance issues or to explain things. They send a letter out that gets posted and if you don't read it, it's not their fault you didn't know what you had to do for insurance. 

Raises have been stopped multiple times. But they'll serve you lunch once or twice a year.  401k hasn't been matched since the fear of the flu. 401k match has also been stopped multiple times over the years. Don't expect to build up retirement funds working here.

Vacation is great. New people walk in and get 2 weeks and bonuses for showing up.  

My typical day starts with reviewing the bored to see what press I will be operating on or inspecting on. Then I go to my machine to talk with the individual I will be taking over for to see what if any problems he or she may have had during his or her shift.

After that I log into direct on the computer using the job number I will be working on. Then fill out all proper paper work. i clean my machine/area.

As I run I look and all apps/parts I am placing into the machine and pulling out. I look for scratches and other defects that can be caused by molding ink-wash or handling-scratches.

At the end of my day I fill out proper paper work and insert the amount of good parts I had and bad parts i had into the computer.

-On a typical day I review parts for inspection of products printed on-site. I scan images for damages or printing errors.
- I've learned the importance of quality control and the aspects of positive relationships between Serigraph and its customers.
- Management is wonderful. Supervisors are up front with the tasks needed to be accomplished and provide a positive environment with which to complete the task.
- My co-workers are friendly and also goal-oriented.
- If too many parts are damaged, it is hard to meet deadlines for customers.
- The positive environment that the company provides. Music is always playing and the people are always friendly.

From an entry level start as a 3rd shift Offset Feederman to a mid-level manager position as the Corporate Hazardous Materials Coordinator, Serigraph was a great company to work for.

A couple of years after I had started, the company started growing under new management, and I had the chance to grow with it.  My entry into the Environmental Health and Safety field was the start of a new career path that has shaped my life since then.

I worked with people at all levels of the company during my nearly 15 years with Serigraph, and can honestly say they were some of the best people I have ever worked with or for.

Plant one, 2nd shift starts with brief chating-up 1st and 2nd shift employees. Getting details of the job from 1st Shift operator of the machine I'm assigned to for night. Repetitive motion during each job. Often job changes throughout the shift. 2nd shift supervise ourselves. Close, friendly mutual support of co-workers. The repetitions are the hardest part of the job. Getting along with each other is the best part of work.

A typical day at this job is concentrating on a lot on the product you build or make a lot of tasks to perform in 1 single part. 
I learned how to run certain types of printing presses and how everything works on different inks and screens

Management is very organized making sure jobs are done for customer on time and treats employees with up most respect 
   My co-workers where excellent people easy to get along with and friendly 
          The hardest part of my job was to get the job running smoothly and with zero defects it was very challenging 
          The most enjoyable part of my job was learning how everything ran and what it was used for
