product development engineer

Working at UST was fun, and the job itself wasn't bad at all. The management, on the other hand, was iffy. If they had a bad day or if they don't like you, you'll know. It was my first production line-type of job, but it was easier than I expected. The hardest part of the job was the hours. When they hired me, they told me Mon-Thur 5-3:30, with the chance of working 5-5. They had us working Mon-Fri 5-5, and even some Saturdays if they put in too many orders for us to get done on time; so you spend more time at work than you do at home. My coworkers were awesome. The only problem is that there is somewhat of a language barrier, so if you're new to the position, it might be kind of hard to learn at first.

The motivation for more money for the company really drove this place downhill. Employees no longer mattered and management went AWFUL. No attempt at fixing bad management and lack of support for employees. No room for advancement unless you have a degree regardless of your great work ethic and time spent working for the company. Treats employees unfair regarding pay (hourly vs salary). Gave salary to men, not females even if experience and education were equal.

My experience with UST as a manager has been very rewarding.  I personally have had the opportunity to learn new job skills, advance within the company and to be able to share my knowledge with staff I supervise. 
The company is growing at a very fast pace and does its very best to keep employees up to date.  UST pays 100% of an employees medical, dental, vision, life and accident insurance.  That's a great benefit for an employee!  I would recommend UST to anyone seeking gainful employment.

A small company that had its own idea of how to treat others.
Hardest part of the job was the pay rate was ok could've been lot better. Being paid every week would be better then every 2 weeks. 
I worked with few great people there. I myself became a better person and better employee. 
I think the most enjoyable part was I became part of a team and was treated as head of sanitation.

First thing i do is make sure everything is ready for the days productions runs. If anything is lacking then i find out why and what i need to do to help it get what it needs. Then i do some cycle counts to keep inventory accurate. After that i help get things ready for the next day or days, aka pick orders and talk to planning to make sure everything is on track for production.

UST is an amazing new fast paced company that makes Vitamins and ships them to its customers. 
They produce, package, and bottle vitamins.
They have an excellent benefit package, and have lots of employment opportunities with room for growth.

Forced overtime, bi-lingual required/Spanish required, miniscule raises, negative office politics. Overall I was satisfied with the pay and overtime pay. Other then that it was a stressful job.

The most enjoyable part of the job are the people that are within the company. It has become a small family, which makes working/interacting much simpler.

I enjoyed working there. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. My manager was always willing to train on new responsibilities. Culture and Mission could be better.

Not a good place to work. Employees are not taken care of. Gossip is a problem. HR is unhelpful, if not part of the problem. People are underpaid, overworked, and unappreciated. The culture is bad.
