The Vomela Companies

Typical Day - As plant manager, I typically start the day in production meetings, then move into production supervisor meetings and providing scheduling fro production. Followed up by production floor supervising review, noting possible procedure updating opportunities. Then monitor flow of production and update delivery dates, followed by daily management progress reports. Do frequent equipment checks and any delays in production. Finally, update production schedule for following day.

I have learned that people are what matter in any business, more so than the bottom line. Without good people you cannot have a good bottom line.

Management is a give and take opportunity, give a little credit to your supervisors and their workers efforts and you won't believe where production can take the company.

Co-workers are the life blood of any organization, they need to work together for the benefit of the whole, with out that it becomes simply a battle of who is responsible for what may happen in a given day.

Hardest part of the job is helping employees understand that they are all part of team, and putting forth their best efforts everyday is vital to the organization as a whole.

The most enjoyable part of my day is when management as a whole can agree and provide positive reinforcement to all employees on a job well done.

I love my job I love the people that I worked with and the people I made deliveries too.   Sometimes the workflow can be real busy and sometimes it could be real slow but it was always something to do and somewhere to deliver too.  My coworkers were friendly very outspoken and very helpful my supervisor was amazing a great guy and always willing to help and work with you. The pay was OK. I could see if the pay was a little bit better I would’ve stayed but it’s like $15 an hour isn’t anything in the Washington DC metropolitan area.  The only reason I am rating in this company bad is because the upper staff and higher up management. The sales people don’t have no clue of what they are doing when it comes to bringing down the documentation for you to deliver late in the afternoon on a Friday.  Upper management was not friendly did not speak looked down on you as a fellow employee all they wanted to do is make sure you get their documents out to cover themselves and to put money in their pockets. Healthcare benefits was high and I couldn’t afford it or a $15 I an our salary.The equipment that you drive-in far as the vans were in good shape did routine maintenance  everything work and it was nice and clean. They give you a gas card which you use for  just for work purposes only.  This company is good to work for it was nice and easy for me to get to and from work with or without traffic in the morning.  The company is good for someone who is just looking for a job to get by but it is not a career path job.

Vomela is an anomaly when it comes to the workplace. You are expected to work hard and contribute, but you are compensated, both monetarily and in appreciation.  

Upper management respects their employees and treats them like adults. They don't care if you need to take time off for whatever reason as long as your work is done and you can count on your team to cover for you. 

Training is great and it doesn't end. There are so many resources at our fingertips, in addition your co-workers really want to help you. It's not unusual to get this email: Does anyone know of... and you always get several responses. Everyone works at a team. Even as a remote worker you never feel out of loop, we use Microsoft Teams on a daily basis. 

Our depth and breadth of our offerings makes it easy for account executives and the account managers are knowledgeable and assist us every step of the way. 

Vomela may sound to good to be true, but honestly I have never worked at a company like this. I feel very lucky to be part of this team. 

Vomela only cares about you if you're supervisor level or above. Perhaps a fun place to work if you're in planning or art department, but it's a disaster in production.

They demanded production workers to wear masks but supervisor and mangers took theirs off in a *open* office around other employees... they made employees clean after other employees in a pandemic after breaks and lunches instead of hiring a certified cleaning crew to do it safely. They will brag about the money they make each quarter but when it's review time, they are behind in finances... Aka, no substantial pay raises. 

They will complain over the fact they can't find quality people or how nobody stays at the facility, yet won't do anything to keep quality people and don't want to pay to bring in experienced people. The executive team does not care about the production floor workers and will do the bare minimum to accommodate, even love to harass and mess with employees. You will not move up here, they rather hire outsiders with less in-company experience to supervise and/or manage. You can do better.

Although co-workers in same department are great to get along with, the management is horrible. There is only one qualified manager here and the plant manager micromanages him and doesn't let him manage what he should manage. Other managers try to take charge with no professionalism. One is verbally abusive and has everyone else on a leash. This place has tremendous room to expand, however top management officials are a bunch of settlers. One manager has a tremendous background in managing and production lines, but isn't given the opportunities. The hardest part of the job is that there is no appreciation for the hard work employees do. They are too worried about numbers rather than treating employees like family. I've learned how not to manage people and how not to take control of people who work for you. Plant controllers have too high of an ego to take valuable suggestions from employees and believe that everything they say is correct.

A typical day for me come in check emails. print out updated  aging.

I learn always keep the customer happy. even when collecting let them feel good about paying past due balance.

My manager lets me work independent because. I know what needs to be done. I have showed the company i can bring in my salary and more money for the company. 

My co-worker are all nice people when im working i try to stay focus.   

The hardest part of my work is getting sales people to understand how credit reports work and understand collections on accounts.


The most enjoyable. part is seeing all the money being posted that I have collected.  WOW 

I work my accounts as if its my own money. knowing that I want to keep all my customers happy also collect on past due balances. 

I enjoy what im doing for the past 10 years.

Thank you

You show up whenever in the day so long as you worked for 8 and were there for 8 plus the length of your lunch break.  I didn't really learn anything except for how corporate America works.  Management starts as kind but the higher up it goes the people can be detached and cold unless you establish a personal connection.  Workplace culture very much was that you were expected to make up for your own shortcomings rather than what can management do to help you succeed.  Hardest part for me was keeping up and organizing everything with a dropped on the deep end responsibility and then undiagnosed ADHD.  I was left to fester in my mistakes rather than be given help to overcome them until I had to find other work outright.

The position was not exactly what I had thought it would be as mostly it was data input. I was looking for more hands on and to be more personal with actual customers. When I was working there, the main Head Quarters was located down town St. Paul and not adjacent to the actual facility where production of products were being produced which seemed to make it  hard to know the status of your project. I now believe they have changed and are now under the same roof. I did get to learn a lot about the industry and going to the 3M school to learn was a great opportunity.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part is the people. Everyone there is what makes the job more enjoyable. If you are looking for advancement or a decent wage, best look elsewhere. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The pay is not competitive and the benefits leave something to be desired. For some reason,  it is difficult to advance in the company. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The people are what makes the job easier to deal with. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very stressful. I have too many jobs for the rate of pay.

Great people all around, from management to co-workers. I wish there was a structured plan of training and long term plan for growth and advancement. All in all it is a GREAT learning experience in a high stakes large format printing company working for awesome Fortune 500 companies with long and short term programs. Even if the role is simply data entry for some positions there is still great take away from every role.
