Average factory job that is great for young people looking to get some experience before moving to other fields. The job itself is easy except for constant mandatory overtime all of the time. Everything changes almost daily, the CEO is a joke and requires mandatory overtime at least once a month, and many times it's 2 to 3 weeks a month of overtime. I would not apply to this place if I were you, it used to be a great place to work, but then the company was sold and all that matters is money to the higher-ups. The job has a point system that is easy to follow, but come on seriously a point system in 2024 is beyond me. Favoritism is rampant and it is pretty common to be a nobody at the place unless you are friends with the team leads or managers. Overall I would stay away from the place all you are is a number and you are constantly lied to. The pay is ok if you are under 25 but if you are looking for a liveable wage it is a factory so think again. Just heed my advice and avoid the place unless you are desperate or have nothing better going for you but it is no different from any other factory or really any low paying job in the US. 

I read somewhere that if a company posts signs boasting of their culture, you should run. The minute you walk in, there are banners hanging from the ceiling with their "mission" and cutesy motivational quotes from managers. Managers on the floor are fake as the day is long and the day is very long there.  Very little training as a rule, very physical work, and air conditioning was only installed my last year there. Basically you're doing production work designed and promised by someone who never spends anytime on the factory floor. Accidents happened almost on a daily basis. Inspections by ISO meant with panic, and overtime cleaning was mandatory when if the place was clean all the time, there wouldn't be a need. But duh, it IS a factory. My manager only promoted men, mostly the ones I trained. One even became my supervisor.

Amazing coworkers and breaks,  employees working their longer will have less pay than an individual who has been employed for less than a month. Quite a bit of gossip but definitely the good outrule the bad. Will say this is the first job I've ever had that penalized me for calling off two months in advance for running out of PTO. After working there 10 years you get another week of PTO but before that, you're entitled to 104 hours every year. You're also pointed if you need to leave for anything that is not scheduled more than 24 hours. Days go by fast and are quite fun, you're just not much valued as an individual from bosses. I could work there again in the future with how smooth it is but I left because I switched departments for the same pay for doing almost triple the work. You're praised emotionally but never physically. 

This was my first Industrial Sales Job and I learned a lot about making sales calls on end users and traveling for business.  It was also my first exposure to the industrial rubber, gasket and seal market which I have been involved for over 20 years now.

I would say the highlights of my Sur-Seal career was winning salesman of the year my second year of employment and being promoted to key accounts.

Everyone I've met has been super great and nice and willing to help with anything. Very diverse place. Pretty sure theres people from like 13 different countries working their. Offers tons of benefits. Heard they have good insurance. Not a stressful environment. Plenty of overtime options.

loved working there the girl i worked with was a lot of drama which i ignored.... they layed me off for no reason the company was a great place to work before they bought another company they came in and changed everything starting downsizing lot of people left.

This company has went down hill since it’s not family owned. The investors only care about getting their money back and making promises they don’t keep. Firing 16 people that was on FMLA . After telling the employees that wasn’t getting laid off. This place is a joke. Your over worked and under paid . 

The owner wanted eveything done her way regardless of cost or productivity.
You did something that was better than her way and she would yell at you infront of everyone.
I did not enjoy this job due to the fact that no one there was happy and all were terrified of being let go.

This place has a lot of favoritism. If you’re not close with management, you will not get to the advancement opportunities you deserve. They don’t appreciate hard working employees. Very Dishonest!  Benefits are very expensive.  The pay is very low. The only good thing is the hours. 


I was asked to do tasks with zero to no training and was bossed around by many coworkers. Because I was 18 I was being taken advantage of and felt like I was obligated to know what I was doing and to learn quickly if I didn't
