Unique Industries, Inc.

A typical day at work would consist of being assisned a line and an opperator in which to work with. 
I learned that communication is extreamly important especially when you have to work as a team, also organization to know what your project is and how to get it done even when management keeps trying to make your job harder.
My former co-workers for the most part were very helpful if they see that you are having a hard time would be more the willing to help if they were not already busy. There were a few however that would rather watch you struggle then jump in and help but they were in the manority. 
The hardest part was being able to deal with some of the stess that came your way weather it was the speed of your line, dealing with an operator that you din't get alone with, or anything else that may happen within the corse of a day. 
And by far the most enjoyable part and the part that made it bearable was the ability to have fun and laugh with your fellow employees even when things got really bad it really took the edge off

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working there was the wage 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working there is their point system. Always looming over your head if you will lose your job because life happens things out of your control and it doesn’t matter what it is that happens..you get points. No grace, no mercy it’s horrible. The narcissistic system in play is downright mental abuse. The money isn’t worth the stress. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not healthy, manipulative, condescending, mentally abusive, stressful, forced overtime and you get penalized. It’s like working in a dictatorship. Don’t think for yourself or defend yourself because the whole plant will know and you’ll have a target on your back to see how far they can torment you. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in, work, break, work, break, work break. 
Deal with the complete chaos all the while

A typical day at work would start off with a morning meeting, where a supervisor would explain about the orders that needed to be completed for that day, but it would not be pertaining to the dept that we was working in most of the time, it would be for the full-time employee, but we would still need to be present in case it was something about the hours, after the meeting we will then be assigned to go get our scan guns to began the work day. I learned how to scan a label to locate different party supplies. for the customer's who have placed the order on Wal-Mart.com The management was okay, my co-workers was also good to work with some moved faster than others but the work was completed, the hardest part of the job was running out of work or machine's breaking down. The most enjoyable part was just being able to work and have an income and also provide the best services to the customer's who have placed an order an expect it to be correct.

Was promoted up pretty high in the organization but was getting paid much less than the position required. Was told that I would have support in my new position but it never manifested. Upper management spends too much time playing jokes on one another and bad-mouthing employees in the front offices ... not to mention throwing each other under the bus. Long hours in high heat with little respect given on the work floor. "Pet" employees allowed to get away with darn near anything while other hard-working employees treated like dirt. Tons of arrogance with vested managers/supervisors. Many high level employees related to one another and treated differently than other employees 

I was able to get promoted within this company and had the best experience in my last position. The first position held was the worst with poor management. They threw their employees under the bus often, hence why I jumped at the opportunity to advance. However there are good people here that will help you when you need it. The last department I worked in wanted their staff to learn new skills to become more enriched and would make ways for the employees to do so. The management was amazing too and were good at leading us in the direction we needed to go. One last criticism is that in this day and age, this company needs to put more focus on allowing fully remote work in the positions that allow for it. Additionally, they were one of the first to send us home during the start of Covid to keep us safe. 

They have about 20 leads/supervisors that all are on different pages. None of them know what's going on, but irs the employees fault when information is given incorrectly.
Machines dont work and instead of fixing it they tell you to deal with it.
You have to work Mon-Sat with an occasional Saturday off. Its mandatory they will give you points and eventually fire you if you dont work Saturdays.
Loved the job. Always some kind of drama, just keep to yourself. Otherwise, people are typically nice and helpful.

This was just a job for me to get by.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stay.  Chances for me to advance depend on openings within the company, which weren't prominent.  Working in the warehouse wasn't difficult, but tedious.  Co-workers are so-so.  Some of them may show off as if they're your superior when they're not.  As long as you do your job and arrive on time, then you won't have a problem with anyone.  
The average day was mainly fulfilling orders for 8-10 hours.  Supervisors were/are very "specific" toward reaching a quota per day.  
Given that I had a part-time position, I wasn't offered benefits. 
If you have to work here, arrive promptly, perform your work, try to communicate with your superior, and keep your cool.

Nice place to work.  It has its ups and downs like any other place but it had more ups for me.  Pay was decent, great benefits, loved my coworkers we were like family!  Plenty of opportunity for advancement. Fair breaks for everyone.   One down side to the place is it takes way to long to accumulate vacation and sick time.  I would have to work two weeks and not miss any days to accumulate 1 hour of time off, so every month I only accumulated 2 hours of time off.  Other than that decent place to work and would def recommend to anyone in need of job.  Ps I recommend anyone who gets a job there have a good pair of tennis shoes a lot of jobs in there require lots of walking.  I was walking 20,000+ a day on a 8 hour shift.  Good luck!

This company is an old fashioned private manufacturing company and the culture and hierarchy reflect such.  It is very militaristic in terms of what is expected of its employees.  Don't be surprised if your supervisor questions you about being 5 minutes late even when you stayed late an hour the day before.  The company profile is strong and there are many great people that work there.  It is just very demanding, especially for a company that produces party supplies.  Also, my entire department got laid off and I saw many people come and go from all departments.  Not a lot of security, but lets face it, its a private company in a down economy.  Costs are high so people get cut.  Overall, 3 stars.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people that worked as packers and a few of the machine operators were great people!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The person who was there to help me get better at my job did NOT help me get any better with my job. So it was a constant fear of getting punished for not getting any better!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mostly, it was stressful! Always changing how things needed to be done! BUT...they needed people so bad, they barely fire people! They make it so that you quit so they do t have to pay Unemployment!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, machines constantly needing fixed.
