THE ROBINETTE COMPANY

There’s an old joke about economics explained in cow terms.  For corporate capitalism you start with 3 cows, shoot two of them, force the remaining cow to produce the same amount of milk as 3 cows, and then hire a consultant to figure out why the remaining cow dropped dead. That pretty much sums up management’s approach here.

You’ll spend a remarkable amount of time documenting every second of your day across multiple systems, paper forms, dry erase boards, and whatever else gets added next, while somehow also being expected to meet production goals that don’t seem grounded in reality. It’s an impressive balancing act, spending more time proving that you were working to meet their unrealistic goals than actually working to met their unrealistic goals, and still being told it’s not enough.

Training is minimal, expectations are inconsistent, and feedback depends entirely on who you ask. You can be told you’re doing fine one moment and be treated like a problem the next, with no clear explanation in between.

Support is scarce, accountability flows in one direction, and “leadership” often feels more like pressure without guidance.

On the bright side, the experience does build character—mainly resilience, testing the boundaries of your patience, and a strong motivation to find employment elsewhere.

All in all, it’s a great place to work if you’ve ever thought, “I’d like to see how hard can I work until I have crippling back pain, and still be told to work harder.”

10/10 for irony. 0/10 for everything else.

Employees are an afterthought. The managers and supervisors line their pockets and toss a few crumbs to the hard working employees. Then they go back to their offices and sleep the rest of the day. 

Promotions are based upon who you are related to/went to high school with. I have seen a higher up’s snot nosed kid come in, with zero experience, and be handed a salaried position while folks who have been there twenty and thirty years were not even considered. It’s very insulting and destroys the morale of the people who come in and work every day. They know that they have no chance for advancement.

Furthermore, there is zero communication among the people who are in management/supervisor roles. And if they screw up, they are not held accountable because they all have each other’s backs. The hourly employees usually refer to them as the Good Old Boys Club, and they aren’t wrong.  There are a handful of individuals who are good managers and will do right by you, but they are the exception to the rule. And at the end of the day, they aren’t the ones who have the power or influence to make a difference in the company’s culture anyway. 

The company is stuck in the 1800s when it comes to pay and time off. I had coworkers who were topped out leaving because they could start over at another local company and already be making more money and having more time off. 

If you are a hard worker, or a young person just joining the work force with aspirations of growing in a company, I would look elsewhere. Unless you are related to someone in management, you are fighting a losing battle. The place needs a complete reset in so many areas.

Ive worked for the company for several years now and only issue I have is the lying, deceitful, and immature management that's been in place for a few years. Openly gossip about others and if your disliked you'll have management over your shoulder till you quit or learn to ignore it and deal with it daily. Great group of co workers and supervisors but those chosen in management positions that control production are disgusting. Common turnover bc new hires are lied to about schedule and wages. Promise them few more dollars on the hour after 90days then find out it was a lie and they wasted their time and effort to get hired on. The company has several policies but this company is more about politics. Growth plan (opportunity for more money) is a copout to pay employees what their worth, just red tape to make employees jump for more money. If you have connections with management (especially if your related) you can make more then some invested 5/10yrs. Something wrong with that. A lot goes on behind the owners back, owners are all about business as they should be, wish they were the ones evaluating employees bc they seem appreciative.  I enjoy my job but lying  and dishonestly (which is a policy that can get you terminated at Robinette) does not apply to management, same for tobacco.🤮

Almost everyone on the management team is  pretty easy to get along with. The job isn’t to difficult physically but can be mentally exhausting. They do not push numbers to hard and there are no repercussions for not hitting production if you are having a bad day. As a whole they are extremely patient with new operators. Now on the down side the health insurance is pretty expensive for the premium package. It takes an extremely long time to get more than 2 weeks vacation compared to what other companies give you. You get no sick time at all infact you even get an occurrence point for your first day out sick even if you have a doctors note. The pay for inspectors and assistants is pretty good considering how little knowledge, skill, or physical exertion goes into it but in my opinion the operators are extremely under paid. Operators are expected to have a plethora of knowledge to run these machines well and the only top out a few more dollars on the hour than a topped out assistant and have 3 times the work load.

This plant has been horribly managed for years and years. It used to be a good place to work, not so much anymore. HR is a joke. Never worked for a place that went so out of their way to demoralize their employees to the point of not caring.  Advancement is based entirely on the buddy system. For a place that stresses efficiency, they accel at the complete opposite. The people there are great, but upper management could care less about their work force and The incentive just isn’t there for regular employees.  If I could sum Robinette up in one word...backwards. If you’re looking for something long term or like being treated with respect, keep looking.  If you like being told at the last minute you have to work every weekend and enjoy time away from your family, this is the place for you.

Ive worked for the Robinette Company for over 5 years. Every year it gets worse and worse. We have had 4 plant managers and 3 production managers since I've been here and each one says the same thing, just in their own way, and thinks its the best ideal ever. As an employee, managment believes they own you and you have to do what ever they say. You WILL learn every piece of equipment they have but don't expect compensation for your knowledge. About every 2 years there is a schedule change. I have worked 11p-7a, 7a-3p, 3p-11p, roatating 12s, and rotating 12s/6s. When they change the schedule you do not get to pick what shift you want. Be warned, do not work here it is a waste of time that you could be investing somewhere better.

I had a blast working at The Robinette Company most of the time, met a lot of great people and made some lasting friendships. Supervisors are very supportive, encouraging, and work hard to boost morale. Pay was okay for starting at the bottom but don’t expect good raises after advancing. I did manage to advance a little as a woman, but wasn’t given any more pay, then expected to “flow back” after making an advancement in the company. I would rather keep moving forward and get paid a higher rate of pay for taking on more responsibility . The Robinette Company cuts hours and will not guarantee the better position after promoting an employee. Satisfaction here was temporary for me; it could be permanent for you. Good luck! :)

I ran a weber machine for over 3 years and the environment was awful. Extremely hot in the summer, excessive noise level, supervisors always changing their minds and backtracking on what they tell you. The 12 hour shifts are 5-7 days a week. The machines are ancient, most were built in the 1940s and 50s yet you are expected to maintain a fast production speed while they fall apart during the runs. Fix it after it breaks is the mind set. Lots of family members working together there so favoritism is the norm. Family time is of no consideration to management, just get out the bags and don't get hurt. This is not a place for a long term career but more of a job nursery.

If you wanted to learn anything, you were on your own. If you didn't work day shift, you were automatically targeted as not knowing anything. Everything that you repaired was not up to there standards and you were constantly mentally harassed. You could never do anything right.
   This is a locally owned and operated company that was more into favoritism by employing friends and family which put a stranger,(me) whether how experienced they were, placed on a lower level thus taking away your job security and motivation. If another friend or family member was hired on, you were about to loose your job.
   This company was very much micromanaged.

Fast  growing graphic company. Very outgoing and dedicated company to it's work and workers. Packed the graphic films finished product to other companies. Make sure that is not going to get ruined. Have it all orders ready for UPS for pickup. Work overtime if we need it to to finish all jobs that had to go out to meet deadlines. We had courier take it to Orlando airport UPS flights. Make sure we never run out of labels and packing materials. Paperwork logged in and put at the head manager desk for the morning.
