What is the best part of working at the company?
The people working there were all focused on the same goals, and were for the most part pleasant to support.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Departments in the office were very siloed and communication and collaboration suffered. The worst offender was at the local VP and Presidential level, where even when they did hold all staff communication events were always 100% rosy and positive which was always contradictory to reality.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
As I stated before, the regular workers and office staff were pleasant to work with and support, and they were all focused on doing their part. There was definitely an old school or old boy vibe where some of the people who had been there for many years were very resistant to change even when the change directly benefited them. The President is more of a bully than a leader and would often come off as welcoming and friendly when you wondered if she was really planning your demise behind that big smile.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
This would identify myself so I will leave this blank.

I have never worked for a company this disorganized and chaotic.  Total lack of direction from all aspect.  Absolutely no communication across teams and the president seems to like it that way so that no one can catch on that he seriously has no clue what he is doing.  

They have good people working for them, but because of poor leadership, the amount of stress put on the employees is ridiculous.  The only people that stay are the ones that have been here forever and probably can't find jobs eleswhere. The company works on projects that don't financially make sense because someone thinks it would be a cool idea so the rest of us scramble to get it done knowing it's going to ultimately hurt our bonus in the long run.

I'd discourage anyone to come to work here until they can get this whole disaster of a management team figured out. 

At USPC I was a second shift machine adjuster. My duties included setting up and repairing a playing card machine that made preshuffled 8 packs of cards for casinos around the world. The quality had to be second to none as the cards go straight to a casinos table with our eyes being the ones who made sure they were perfect before going onto the gaming table in various jurisdictions around the world. There was no room for failure for myself or the crew I directed around my machine. I enjoyed working with my team in this very meticulous processthe whole time which I enjoyed very much. I learned many things at this job about cutting, gluing, wrapping, feed systems, etc from some smart people. The management and benefits were all great here, unfortunately for family reasons I had to relocate.

The training received was inadequate for a position. The job was inherently high pressure. Couple the volume of tasks with the inadequate training, you can't succeed in this environment. There was no down time in the department during the day as it was impractical. 

I gained marketable skills for a my next opportunity.

The company culture was not cohesive. 

The hardest part of the job was the lack of support while traveleing on business and vacation. I was never supported and always had to get caught up by working in my off time. 

I really enjoyed taking care of the customers. They often expressed their appreciation.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Very friendly environment and friendly people. One of the best jobs I I ever had. Very clean and professional.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trying to get daily goals but that's about all.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Amazing job.Excellent benefits and pay.Room to grow.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Peaceful and non-stressfull environment. Would recommend this job for anyone who is looking for a friendly environment and working with good people 😁.

This is a fast paced production job. The pay is competitive and there are lots of opportunities for overtime. The work is interesting, can be fast passed and stressful at times. The work is very detail oriented. Must be able to work independently and follow company procedures concerning safety and quality. It is a somewhat noisy environment so communication can be challenging. Overall not a bad place to work. You control your success or your failure. 

A typical day at work to me, would be zoom , zoom. (USPC) Is an production company thats big on numbers the more the better. United States Playing Card company, started in 1867, their responsible for the production, and distributes of many brands of playing cards. (Bee, Bicycle, etc.). My title was a combo technician. I was responsible for correctly inserting card sheets into the machine. The machine would properly cut them into individual sheets that make up a full deck.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There wasn't  anything good about this company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They will work you to death and expect more out of you.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Management plays favorites. You just have to accept it. 


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working the entire shift without a break. And being forced to work overtime.

Very busy work environment.  Lots of procedures to follow. Some areas are loud, but hearing protection is provided.  They pay fair for the work and there is opportunity for overtime.  They do promote from within for those with good performance and attendance. They make quality products and seem to take pride in that. 

they would work you to death, they didnt care if you left with a heart attack they would still point you. they would make you work 12 hours shift and if you say no they point you. they didnt cancel with the weather either. over all the work was easy and the people were some of the best people i worked with
