What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay was great along with all other benefits. I was hoping to retire with them but our customer in Spartanburg SC sold 90% of their business and equipment. I worked for 24 plus years as an Inplant Manager and traveled to other customers. Great job! I just couldn’t relocate.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Mine was the stress I put on myself. They let me manage my account the way I wanted it. In the last couple years they hired some upper management from our competitor so things started to change. No loyalty to the ones that did everything they asked.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
When I left around 18 months ago it was great. The company had some great people leave after I left and they let some great lab or R&D staff go right before I left. I know the upper management has changed so not sure about now. The best salesman left last year also.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Great, I built a great relationship with our customer and I had great people working with me.

What is the best part of working at the company?
NOTHING! It’s Horrible! Pass on this place !

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
HR hires the worst people they can find. Almost looks intentional. Everybody’s attitude is I don’t care it’s not my problem from the top down. Try to Hold anyone accountable and you look weird for being a good employee. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible nobody as any integrity. Bare minimum from everyone. Everything is super dirty. Try to clean up something and I promise 2 days later it’ll look like you never touched it and probably worse.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Try to keep the place flowing while most stand around waiting for someone else to do it.

The experience at Siegwerk depends greatly on manager, as most places do. Some allow more flexibility with how you work with home and office time (chemist jobs posted as hybrid remote that are generally not at all remote for lower level employees). The job generally fits right into the 40-hour week with some flexibility on when you start and end your day which is a nice perk.

The big con comes with transparency, particularly around pay. They currently have positions posted for a significantly higher  salary than current employees in those roles with no plans to adjust those employees to the new base rate. There are no clearly defined goals or steps to advance to the next level in position or pay. 

A lot of good people to work with, targets can be tough to achieve, not a lot of defined processes to coordinate cross-functional department interaction and project management.  A lot of turn over in both the office and on production floor in the past couple of years has made it tough to manage projects to improve operations.  The industry is pretty cut throat, so customers and sales run the organization while Supply Chain endures the brunt of the backlash for any sort of failures to deliver.

The company has all the good traits to move from the level they are to a great company.  The people care however sometimes long time employees become complacent and are reluctant to implement the change required to take that next step.  The company requires an employee to be self-motivating and also naturally inquisitive and willing to seek out information.  Also oftentimes high performers are continually given extra work which becomes difficult to manage. The most enjoyable part is the people!

In my many years with the company, I have seen lies, been tricked into task I had no business doing and the turn over ration sky rocket. You have people in positions due to brown nosing who doesn't know the position, they throw you in the ring whit little to no training in some situations. Think again if you're even considering this company.

Siegwerk is a good company to work with. Working there made me understand how complex and interesting COLOUR are.Rhe day to day activities at Siegwerk gave the understanding and experience I need in life. Having experience and hourable managers, directors, head of operations and very good supervisor around you will encourage and give s you sense of belonging. Thanks

Siegwerk USA Inc. Was an excellent employer from 2010 thru 2020. The previous President and Vice President resigned/retired in December, 2021. The two new Vice President’s have a completely different vision and are completely re-organizing the company replacing local Sales personal with National/ Key Account Managers. I was provided a severance package 10/21. 

So happy to be gone from the lack of cohesiveness in that company.  Most upper management talks in circles and out both sides of their mouths. They do not care about their employees - just warm bodies.  Upper management doesn't align with Germany as far as job responsibilities and they have people now that have no idea what is going on trying to make decisions, that negatively affect day to day functions.  Very little if any chance for advancement.  

The job was easy, straight as most are, what was not easy is the fact that so little is correctly labeled, the environment was extremely dirty and degrading, and the fact that so many habits are stuck to, which only amplified the overall hate between locations and workers on shifts. Nothing but drama within the location and the job was even worse. Ended up being injured due to poor safety and literally, the response to basic accommodations was ridiculous.
