A typical day at work was very unstable and stressful due to constant changes in leadership. In a short period of time, I witnessed transitions in the CEO position, three CFOs, three Directors of Operations, and frequent turnover among office staff. This made daily responsibilities unclear and created an environment where employees were always trying to adjust to new expectations.

Management struggled significantly. Many leaders did not stay long enough to implement improvements, and upper management brought approaches that did not align with the reality of the operations. Decisions were often made without understanding the situation, leaving employees to handle the consequences.

Workplace culture was very weak. There was no sense of support, development, or stability. Turnover was extremely high because employees felt overwhelmed or undervalued. Compensation was not competitive, and in many cases new hires were offered higher salaries than existing staff. The company also faced financial challenges, which created additional pressure, especially for departments that had to manage large amounts of unpaid invoices.

The hardest part of the job was managing excessive workloads without the necessary resources or leadership support. It was especially difficult to handle situations that required attention, such as when I reported inappropriate behavior from an indirect manager, and the issue was not properly addressed.

This location is Hispanic dominated and not very inclusive.
The leads did not get taught how to use the equipment and I needed up with minor injuries. Only one out of the 3 leads spoke Spanish and she was as new as I was. The jobs are easy and fast pace, and I also enjoyed the work.
I hated that many of the workers sat around and talked. Some even at times took charge of my job without asking when their machines were down.
I was trained by my Spanish speaking co-workers whom I could not understand fully. My lead even lied about training me in front of our supervisor.
Sadly I was let go a week after getting the job due to low volume, yet I was told the slowest workers

This is a dead end job. It’s first come first serve since the hire so many people at times. If you come to work a lil late your getting stent home. This is a extremely fast pace job that doesn’t pay enough for the labor you will be doing. There is no over time unless a manger ask you to come in on your off day. And once they offer you a full time position with the company you would think they will up your pay... wrong they continue to give you the same amount of money but instead of getting paid weekly it becomes biweekly.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hard work and no reward. Only supervisors benefit here.

I was there for 8 months. I’ve seen over 100 people come and go. The management is unprofessional. There’s so much favoritism it’s ridiculous. The ladies that work there are cool to be around. The guys on the other hand. They’ll yell at you and call you names and still get to keep their job. The techs don’t know what they’re doing on the machines. They’ll be down for hours and the work will get so backed up you’ll have to work every Saturday for months. 

This company is growing and trying to adjust their way of working.  There needs to be more focus on standardizing processes and training for new employees.   Overall, this is a great place to work if you are flexible and willing to support positive changes and growth.

I learn not to trust anyone,For some people are nice and some are not.Sometimes it stressing me out when I work on two machines and people push me around to help others that work with one machine.so I say the job is good and so stressful at the same time because people like to just take advantage of me...
