The Mentholatum Company

I was excited to work here because I knew the brand. However, the entire experience has been a huge disappointment.

The culture is terrible from top to bottom. In the manufacturing area, no one wants to be here, they hate their jobs and they don’t have any people skills.

Training is virtually non-existent. You will have to beg and plead to be trained in your job. Temps are used at this site and are turned over so often that there is no longevity for anyone.

This is poorly managed company with terrible culture and morale. It would be better to find the right fit elsewhere rather than be here temporarily after you realize what the situation actually is.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Clean work environment, company subsidies the cafeteria 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything, can’t do anything fast enough, correctly enough, operators call anyone who isn’t an operator stupid or worthless 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Revolving door, most people are there through a staffing agency and attendance is terrible 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get bounced around from one production line to another all day long, hard to learn anything

have to be involved with the "20 year club" to move forward in this company.  Friends are only considered for promotions.  There is blatant favoritism in this company.  Some employee's have all the work, but if you are a friend of your manager, you are allowed to walk the halls, take long lunches and breaks without consequences other employee's run into.

You are expected to work 10 hours a day and at least 20 Saturdays a year which leaves very little time for home life.  The compounders (operator) are extremely understaffed which creates a hectic workload.  Expect 50-60 hour weeks.  The manufacturing department is underpaid and employs many foreign workers.  A real sweat shop!

Pay raises/advancements are based on coworkers opinions and not your work. Management leaves floor to be ran by a bunch of entitled women who do nothing but gossip and talk down on everyone but their own. Place is highly politicized and people talk about you right behind your back. Literally! 
PAY IS HORRIBLE and the work load is atleast twice then what you would expect for the pay. Management gives little support. PLACE IS A STRESS FACTOR.

Mgmt. lack of direction. Manager involved toxic behind the back discussions. No tolerance of learning through error. Transitioning to robotic workers.

Great place to work for a short amount of time. The benefits offered are fantastic. Second shift has long ten hour days.
Mentholatum, Orchard Park is a basic production plant. Materials come in via the warehouse, compounders make the products. Production runs and operates the machinery used to fill and package the finished goods. 

One Supervisor  .Gets mad throws stuff if you do something wrong felt very uncomfortable around him. Another supervisor/leader would tune up the machine so fast you couldn’t keep up then would get mad  when you stopped it to catch up.The workers theydon’t speak English think they are better then you just don’t even waste ur time there

5 labels its price 1 pens so be careful if you destroy couple becouse you gonna have a conversation with Supervisor , if you left the job you gonna have a problem with your hours becouse no one want to confirm your hours because you left the work . Zero help from management . 

I worked there for 3 months. Job was okay at first but the environment is not that great. No experience was needed at all. And you don’t get paid vacations or paid sick days.
