Stakes Manufacturing

In production basically people print designs on shirts, other people make sure they look good. 
Each shift is different - gets managed differently and is told different information. 
I really like my coworkers and I like the various jobs I've had to do. At the same time I've had to do so many different things that it feels like I don't belong anywhere. I never know where I'll be and I don't like that. 
I do like seeing all the different shirts we make, but I dislike that a lot of times we are forced to accept shirts with quality errors just to keep the higher ups happy. (especially during busier times of the year)
I've also noticed at times they will allow temps or brand new employees do jobs they think are 'easy' but in my opinion those are things that require more training in order to prevent spoilage/bad shirts. If they would allow more training first then the quality control workers wouldn't have to accept so many shirts with errors.
Pay not bad, offers over time

I loved working there until i noticed a couple things, there are good people there but… you would often hear gossip and drama in other departments that got loud. I also felt that only people who’ve worked there longer could get away with certain things. I was laid off with a bunch of other people after 3-4 months and they told me it was my attendance and low work performance. Although, previously they told me I was doing better than expected and they were glad to have me on the team. They never gave me any verbal warnings about my attendance or work performance. I helped in other departments and even stayed longer than my shift to help others. They sometimes would send us home early if there wasn't much work to do so your hours can vary depending on work load. If they expressed to me that they wanted me to improve I definitely would’ve done so.

The job isn't that bad, it's easy work and if there is actually work the day goes by quick. Management and the higher ups are always changing. I've had 3 different supervisors in less than a year and a half. They do not care if you are getting bullied either. They really don't care about their workers, just as long as they are getting paid. I'd say if you plan on keeping to yourself at this job, it's a good job. I've met some great people here and they are really the reason why I haven't left yet. Don't try and move up in this place though, it never seems to work out with anyone. You don't get paid enough to deal with the stuff they throw at you. Hours have been cut for some reason. If you work weekends you get paid more hourly but you work only 4 days. And it seems like the people that work weekends are forced to leave early when theres no work. So they get screwed on their hours and paychecks. While the other shifts who work 5 days seem to work full days. 

I've been employed here now for almost 2 months, I'm not surprised that the overnight shift has a skeleton crew due to so many who chooses to work 1st&2nd, which in return make it overwhelming for management to succeed in training new employees to their liking in a timely fashion. Outside of lack of production workers and warehouse associates, they really do appreciate and respect their employees by always tackling issues with hour disputes, equipment failures, attention to employees emphasizing more training, and even being mindful of outside living situation with life and work balance. I would definitely recommend the position to a friend with good work ethics who needs a job to support a family, as they do pay pretty good.

They were very understanding about my circumstances, and when I couldn't do the one job they moved me to one I could. I was laid off due to a "halt in production", though the day after and then more recently saw job listings there. Was told that my assignment there was ended because "certain people's assignments were being ended due to a halt in production" yet they were still looking to hire more people. The work culture was okay and they tried to do right by their workers, but dumping them in the unemployment line  while employing others instead is a new low. I highly don't recommend working here as you may end up in the unemployment line. 

The management is TERRIBLE! I got hired through the temp & they fired me on my third day because of what someone told them. I tried to defend my end & told them they could check camera etc. but they didn’t care to hear me out and went on with the process. They have no communication whatsoever when I started they threw me in to the wolves didn’t know anyone of leadership nor scheduled breaks or meetings. The job itself was okay but I would say they need a new management team because they don’t give all there workers the same equal amount of rights.

I worked here for a brief time while on a hiatus from my usual job field due to Covid. The management is very fair, if people are getting mistreated by ANYONE they will put a stop to it which I thought showed a lot of integrity. They started me at a very fair wage, but I heard through the grapevine that raises were usually never given, but I went back to my original job field within 6 months so I can’t really speak on that for sure. I have nothing bad to say about them as a company, they were very fair and progressive IMO. 

This place is really friendly and kind to its workers. For as long as I’ve been here I’ve never been discriminated against or treated in any type of unfair way. They are very understanding and accommodating to your needs. I’ve noticed a lot of people from different types of backgrounds here so they definitely do not discriminate against anyone. The pay is fair. Sometimes it gets a bit boring when work slow downs but all in all this is a great place to work

I worked here for 10 months was terminated over asking a question, which they turned into insubordination. Lucky for me I have other means of income . if you're looking for quick cash it works however job security is another story! The managers are fairly young and don't know how to deal with older workers .I suggest tread lightly if you apply here,And don't ask questions as to why this or that because they take it as disrespect! They can't deal with a straightforward ,outspoken person! 

Very inclusive and diverse workplace. Cool vibe. Opportunities to advance because they are growing quickly. Sometimes it’s really fast and other times it’s slow. Opportunities for overtime when fast. Free lunch sometimes. Relax atmosphere where you can listen to music and do your work without people bothering you
