What is the best part of working at the company?
Hearing about the legacy the company used to have, working people who you see more than your own family who genuinely try their hardest to do what’s asked of them and more, and getting experience for your resume in areas you weren’t hired for. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working for the company, that is what’s stressful. Otherwise, watching people who “fell up” into leadership positions continue doing the wrong things and forcefully pushing back on anything that seems unnatural or uncomfortable for them (i.e. doing things a different way that are proven to be successful techniques). 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There was a time I would have said toxic, but, the toxicity only lies with Manufacturing leadership. They make it difficult for everyone there, and not just on TN plant, but others also. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get there and do your job, do someone else’s job, do a job you weren’t hired for, go to meetings that devolve into something not work related, go to another meeting to talk about what happened in the last meeting with the same group of people, rinse and repeat.

Most of the employees on the floor are nice. Management has no clue on how to run the place. They don’t listen to  the employees concerns that have worked there for years and when the place was actually profitable. This place is bleeding money but management doesn’t take any accountability for it. There is no room for growth, they won’t promote someone from within. They bring in someone off the street that has no clue on how the process works and expects you to take orders from them. They’ll lay people off and then expect you to do twice the work. The only good thing about working here is the pay is good for the location, other than that I’d steer clear of this place. If OSHA was to actually walk around this place to look around, they’d shut it down in a heartbeat. Just not a good work environment to be around.

Be ready for Thursdays mandatory overtime list. You might get one Saturday off a month. They also work some sundays. Oh and where they're so short on help dont be surprised if you have a couple 12 hour shifts thru the week. Training could be called abysmal at best. Your self taught down here. I'll just be honest 99% of the time I had no idea what I was doing. You'd ask for help from management and each one tell you the exact opposite of the last supervisor.

The people at this company are one-of-a-kind. We are growing together as our business grows. I have never worked in any office before where I felt so welcomed or appreciated. I have learned so much, and I have been given the opportunity to take on more work as needed. If the company continues to have such a wonderful work environment and provide opportunities for growth, I would love to retire from here... 40+ years from now.

Almost 2 years and was let go with the reasons of
A "reduction of force" and "company cut backs".
However in the 2 years I was employed, I never came in late, called out, or left early. I did my job relentlessly every day, follow the rules, a team player that cared about their work and the company I worked for and in a company of about 300, I was 1 of 3 let go then told that "it's not personal, but a company cut back" and you chose an employee with perfect track record to let go. You can't convince me that it wasn't personal.

What is the best part of working at the company?
GREAT SUPERVISORS...GREAT OPPORTUNITIES ADVANCING FROM WITHIN COMPANY...SUPER INCENTIVES...

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some employees taking their positions for granted and not wholeheartedly putting maximum effort on job duties 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
FRIENDLY Overall....Multiethnic people are hired...great place to work

Most everyone here really cares about the work they do. There is little to no micromanagement as it just isn't needed. Come in, and do your work. You are appreciated through good pay, fantastic health benefits, and fun activities throughout the year. Great growth opportunities if you come in and do the work. Clear guidelines for growing and training. 

Poor management. All they care about is production. Top management is clueless. Building tons of inventory but not what customers are ordering. Way too much inventory, wrong inventory. Trying to offset losses with stock and wip. Major incompetence. Ran from top down. Top mgmt are bullies and ineffective. QMS is ineffective. Again...incompetence.

Strong brand identity culture, paying very well, a lot of tools and information. HR department sometimes far from the shop floor but also some examples of great leaders.

Manufacturing rotating shifts with a lack of adequate training
Little to no support from local leadership
Regional Management is incompetent - moved most of our business to Tenn. Facilities 
According to our town hall meetings, we have not made a profit in several years
