Please understand, you will need a very strong work-ethic. If you don't mind showing up a little early, keeping yourself busy (i.e. when you finish a job, find your supervisor for your next job), and work until the end of your shift (not 15 minutes before your shift end), then this is a job/career that will suit you well. If you can't keep up with the job demands, this company will work with you to find something you can succeed at. When this company finds that you are a good fit, they will make sure that you are well taken care of. This company offers exceptional benefits. Again, you have to work. VERY hard. But, once you have established yourself here, you will be treated as an individual by a terrific Management Team. You are kept in the loop regarding the jobs that flow through you department. The Supervisors help you understand the specifics of your job so that the work you are doing has purpose. You wiill feel like what you are doing is more than just earning a paycheck. And, there are quite a few times when it's actually FUN to be here. A lot of "LOL" moments. I count myself lucky/privileged that this Company kept me as part of their team.

Go in run a machine, make adjustments accordingly. Occasionally have to do tool changes. Deal with changes in the pulp.
Sometimes co-workers are helpful most of the time not. If they see you struggling more times that not they will just sit there and watch you. It is a typical factory the drama is everywhere.
Management is the worst I have EVER seen. They give positions to people that have lower seniourity, will not come and give you breaks when they are supposed to. Do not come and check on you. Make you do a tool change and then decide to put it right back. Do not care about anything that is going on. You tell them a problem and they just brush it off. When they are short staffed make you do tons of ot and still expect you to work the weekends. Give horrible reviews and horrible raises.

 the hardest part about the job is dealing with management and their 24 hr notice of overtime for the weekend.The best thing about the job is if everything is running ok then you can pretty much just stand around.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Usually voluntary overtime’s instead being mandated.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Employees that have been there for a good amount of time, seem to do things their way even if it’s not safe or recommended. New hires don’t get the correct training because of this and it was usually faulted on the new hires instead of the person “training” them. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment was very depressing. Yes, it’s work, but none of the employees enjoyed each-other’s presence it felt like. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Morning meeting, get placed to a department, some people got stuck in the same places every day, some got to move around. Depending on the favoritism given by the leads, you could do an easy job every day or have one that was enough labor for 2-3 employees.

Ufp is on on many companies u can work and have fun at the same time. However it is very difficult to advance unless you're well like by the team members or the management. It is very odd how they operate. Deff can see the favoritism towards certain employes by management with the decisions on promotions. That has alot to do with the turnover rate being so high. Every shift has same rules but u can deff see the difference on how much they abide by them. If u want to get away with not following company procedures i suggest u work on 3rd shift or 2nd shift. Turnover rate also has alot to do with how hard they work u on certain jobs. It could b a 2 to 3 man job but will make u do it alone to save money on themselves when that isnt right at all. Long story short if you want to work there and advance kiss ALOT of butt,dont miss n be pretty if you're a girl. Dont believe me check it out for yourself.

Boss is very personable and knowledgeable of IT. He is always willing to answer questions, and help you understand and grow in your role. Calm environment compared to many help desk companies. You are not being bombarded with tickets, and you don't any pre-defined quota to reach. The people within the company are friendly (I've never had or even seen any major issues among co-workers).  As Tier I support, you have a pretty light workload when it comes to tickets, so you may be assigned other duties such as inventory management and purchase orders. While the starting rate is somewhat low ($15/hr), it is actually more than most entry-level help desk roles which is around $12/hr.

A culture where employees hate to work, but need a paycheck.  UFPT is struggling as the company attempts to reign in all the "ma & pops" companies previously purchased.  A difficult task with good leadership, but impossible with the leadership in place now.  

The environment is extremely hostile!  The "blame game" is the only game that they play.  Anyone starting below a supervisor level, can expect minimum wage, and even with 25 years of loyalty, you are going to be at about 14$/hr.  Management is overpaid and highly incompetent.  The company currently has a 50% on time delivery record.

training is almost non existent. you learn how to do your job by getting told you did it wrong. always feel like you are one step away from losing your job. not a good company to work for. they don't really care about you at all. most people are two faced and will not hesitate to screw you over to benefit themselves. I left a much better job that I didn't particularly enjoy to take this one, because the job I was hired for paid well, and seemed like a great opportunity to grow but I was set up to fail and was pushed to the extreme until I quit to avoid having a breakdown. apparently the person I was hired to replace quit for similar reasons. now I have nothing. don't work here if you have a family to support

Checking quality of parts making sure no defects that are not acceptable were not on any product if I had any questions I would ask the head quality but if they weren't around it was judgement call on my experience in that area. Before doing quality  I was a group/team leader which included making the daily list for everyone solving issues that arouse and making sure everyone was doing their job and making sure they got the best training with what the company had to offer. Hardest part would be the fast pace the lines run and the being able to keep up while checking the parts. Enjoyed working when everything would run smooth with minimally issues..

I enjoyed my time there! It was fun and I would work there again! I had irritating times but where don't you? The people i worked with made part of that possible. And the staff was awesome when it came to any issue or any that was presented to them. I advanced pretty quick I think but I got to like any job I had there. The benefits was very helpful specially with a family. Looking out for your family now or future your can decently cover what you need to cover for them. I worked 12 hour days everyday starting my last day of training up until I left there. That was 70+ hours a week and I loved it.

A typical day at work:  If I don't have work in my department, I am finding other things to keep me busy, or clean.
What I have learned:  I am always finding new ways to make my responsibilities more efficient and productive.
Management:  Very unorganized.
My co-workers:   Sometimes other co-workers will talk to me and other days I don't even get a hello.  I always wonder if I did something wrong.
The hardest part of the job:  The environment.
The most enjoyable part of the job:  Receiving gift cards for a job well done.
