Mainly at the beginning of each shift the workplace needs to be set up for the production that will be packaged up throughout the day.
during a change over on the machines a different work order will have to be followed and the machines will have to be serviced depending on what the client ordered to change the amount and the size of the production that will be packaged up. the main thing to manage all the production flow you have to make sure the machines are cleaned out and everything is running in their original place so that will be no issues throughout the time that it is running. co workers sometimes have their own way of working and doing things so it may be difficult at times, but if every one is informed on how things work and shown the correct way to do things it will be easier for the production to go out on time if worked together as a team. i believe the hardest part of the job may have been when everything is not organized and out of place it makes it a lot harder to multi task and keep all the machines running smoothly with out problems.
the most enjoyable part of the job is when you understand everything about the machines and can take care of any issues with no questions asked.

The schedule changes every 2 months morning, night or swing shift and I worked mandatory 12 hours M-F and every other Saturday I worked an additional 10 hours. I did learn a lot from being on a line but that’s if someone would take the time to even teach you how to do everything. We would work 12 hours and only get 1 lunch and 3 15 minute breaks. You can’t leave the parking while on your break as well. The schedule was always moved around for example, you could be working morning shift, then the next day they’ll call you in to work night, and then go back to morning shift. HR has favoritism towards certain people and don’t care about it either, they are not equal whatsoever. The supervisor makes the schedule more complicated than it needs to be so then you would have to work harder than anybody sometimes. There’s been a lot of days where we didn’t get to run our machines because how crazy the schedule was. There was only 5 sick days throughout the whole year and you barely get vacation hours. That was the only hours you can use if you wanted time off. Also, the supervisors wouldn’t give people raises at all, you would have to tell the supervisor a lot to give you a raise.

I've been with this company since it opened and it's a mess since I've been here we've gone through 7 plant managers in 6 years people in management come in with high expectations and after a few months they have a don't care attitude and it's very hard to get any answers from hr or management. I've been in numerous positions here working directly under the plant manager and they're hands are tied here to get anything done they have to get approval from 6 people who are in a different country. HORRIBLE! place to work everyone here from the top to the bottom is unhappy the only reason anyone is here is for a pay check and they change the schedule here every month you don't know what you will be working till the last minute makes it very hard to find a new job. The thing is now that the economy is getting better a lot of people are leaving key people so now it is getting worst every it feels like people are leaving every week. I don't recommend trying to work here.

Work there for three months and being a black man working there there were certain workers that throw their weight around like you don't know nothing. Mainly certain latina's there. White maintenance worker was very Racist and did not do what the Foreman said to do when showing a new mechanic routines

Second I was treated real unfairly and blamed for a fire that started in the welding area. Because they had dust everywhere told to blow it down. I mention to management this is a fire hazard. and felt uncomfortable welding and fabrication there. So it caught on fire one day and they blame me for it. So after this incident I was let go two weeks later. But there was two other fires there on two machines and everybody stayed white I was let go for some specious reason. They pretend that your doing a good job and but they was not well with it at the end. I still have all my jobs that I performed there. I record everything.

No matter how hard you work or how much overtime you put in .. this is a company of back scratching ... if you aren’t the managers friend you are not going anywhere ... example I unloaded trucks minimum was four a day I would average 8 to 10 trucks a day ... everyone did 4 trucks and those guys were the ones promoted the guys that stop working and talk to each other 15 , 20 minutes at a time  ... there is a strong each blames the other for poor organization and problems that occur ... so you’re always being watched culture of blame game ...who have have people that  unload trucks and put away and you have order pullers

Good peaceful,always great to come in see smiles and people great to work around,not even knowing how easy it was to learn how different machines work great managers very helpful.People from all over with different life up bringing coming together as one to make sure all is right in a timely manner.,the hardest part of the day was the last 40 mins.anf the best part of the day helping other.great part of it all was all machine up in running.

We are paid less than any other warehouse. The environment is clean and it has AC plus it is right off the freeway but other than that I am not seeing what was promised. It is easy to tell that managers try hard to keep production workers happy but the higher ups including HR are not making this a fun place to work. The owners are stingy, we are nothing but numbers to them. My last  raise was literally less than .50
There really is no point in working here. All false promises.

This place is awesome, if there is any chance for me to come back, I will because why i love the machine i love how we are operate and maintain supply, and they even giving out free product for worker, i cant express myself and how satisfy i am when i work her, its just amazing and such an awesome warehouse, i felt bad when theyre moving to other place, but hey, at least im having a good time here and experience that would lead me to a another better place.
