This place has only gotten worse the longer I've been here.  I think the people who run it might have their hearts in the right place, but behind all the nice smiling office people there is tons of suspicion that goes on behind the scenes that makes this place very uncomfortable.  Working on the production floor, co-workers are nice and fun enough, but employee morale is at an all time low.  It looks like no one is happy to be here.  The bigger managers have a backwards sense of accountability (ex: there is a potential that you can get in lots of trouble over a mess that someone in an entirely different department made, and that person who made it doesn't get talked to about it AT ALL), some of the other managers have a habit of writing emails with a tone that comes off as passive aggressive.  More often than not they do more complaining about our work than showing at least a little appreciation.  You only get a total of 10 unexcused hours of absent hours for an entire year, if you go over that you're written up.  That's literally one day.  

Mandatory overtime on the weekends hasn't happened as often due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but they started it back up around Fall.  They do it every once in a while now, and it's not always that big of a deal.  That being said, when you're working in a department that is seemingly losing employees left and right, and you or your co-worker on that shift is being asked to come in early or stay over late, when it also looks like they aren't trying to put new people in these positions, the overtime becomes excessive.

The worst part is arguably that you know they’re probably not gonna do anything about these either.  You could go and talk to one of these managers about concerns and criticisms and either get ignored or at worst fired or demoted.  Enough of our co-workers say this to know that this is legit, and on top of that our bigger managers have sent emails before where they often use the phrase "I don't wanna hear any excuses," as if they aren't aware of there issues.  It's all just a sense that they'd rather not listen to the people that work for them.

If you're someone who doesn't like seeing tons of Blue Lives Matter, proud boys, pro-Trump merch, or literally any other racist, alt right apologist group every day, or evern hearing about it on a daily basis steer clear of of this place cause there was a lot of it, still is plenty and it is not comfortable.

Some decent things: health insurance is nice, they gave us Holiday bonuses recently, co-workers and production floor managers are for the most part pretty supportive, I'd have gone crazy a long time ago if they weren't at least understanding.  They have handled the COVID-19 really well too as far as social distancing and mask enforcement goes.  That's it.

Right from the start I was impressed by the management of this company, showing that they care about the employees and really do want to make this a great place to work. Vision plastics is family owned, and the owners take a real interest in making it great. They are here and know their employees by name and legitimately value their opinions and it shows.

Working at vision plastics is not the kind of place you will be bored, or able to skate by under the radar. They operate lean and everyone is held accountable for their work, but if you are the kind of person who will thrive here, you will know that is a good thing. Management has clear and very reasonable expectations for their team, and if you give a solid effort, you will be rewarded. They pay well and even have multiple incentive programs in place for contributing good ideas and hard work.

Vision plastics also makes a strong effort to trains employees to climb up the ladder and folks who show some aptitude can quickly get themselves into a leadership position etc. This is a great place to get an opportunity to learn leadership skills and build your resume if you are so inclined.



Well meaning and respectful management. They do their best to listen to the suggestions and concerns of all employees and keep your safety in mind first. Vision Plastics offers a 401 k and other benefits.

One area for improvement would have to be communication overall. They let everyone know there company goals and policy changes which is is fine, but there is very poor communication between operators,material handlers, technicians and leads on all three shifts and it can lead to some animosity. The warning when a job is added to the schedule or changes priority depends on whether or not you have time in your busy day to look at an email.

I promise though if you show up and work hard it gets recognized and rewarded. I have worked on all three shifts and know the leads and supervisors and can say they all do their best for the whole team. so please give them a chance, it's worth it!

I honestly don't have a lot of good to say about my time at the company. The pros were the other employees I worked with on a daily basis were very easy to get along with and the location of the company is next to good lunch options and the I5 freeway. The cons were the management being quite unrealistic with certain expectations and employee moral was next to rock bottom. Some days at work were slow and other days the work load could jump to be more than 1 person should handle and you were expected to deal with it or get written-up or "talked to". Communication was also rough between shifts and issues on another shift could wind up becoming your problem. If your looking for steady work this place could work for you but expect lip service from management and not a lot of action in areas its truly needed. This place is good for a paycheck and experience but not a place to make a career.

I've been employed at 4 different injection molding companies, so far, and Vision is easily the best one I've had the pleasure to work with/for. My coworkers were friendly, peers listened to and valued my input, management valued my input, and plenty of advancement opportunities as long as you're willing to seek and work toward them. I've never worked in a shop that has valued the input of their technicians as well as this place did for me. 
They could maybe pay more considering the high cost of living in the area and in Oregon on the whole, but they still pay competitively and often more than what their competitors will offer. 

The place was a revolving door of employees. I was hired as a Technician Trainee, but was put into the material handler position first "for a few months." However, through the entire time that I worked there, which was almost a year, I was never given a single day of training as a Technician Trainee, and remained a material handler throughout. The material handler position is only physically difficult, it is very simple work, easy to learn. The two material handlers on my shift that were there longer than me, both were hired the same way as Technician Trainees, neither ever became one. The pay was pretty decent for the work. The benefits were nice. through half the year, there was consistent MANDATORY overtime for one day of your weekend, which messed up plenty of my plans and was the worst part of the experience.

With the economy the way it is work is getting spotty. People are getting cutthrought for keep there jobs. Green economy isn't friendly to the plastics business 15 months ago no work life balance working one extra day a week. One off a week isn't enough when you work 8 to 10 hrs on your feet. Recently so little work the last 9 months most of crew is work less than 32 hours a week. Computer system problems last 6 months. 

If you love or need overtime then come work here because they work you to the bone. The posting says periodic overtime thats a lie. They work every weekend both Saturday and Sunday and you wont know what day you are working until someone pics it for you. The training is inconsistent and the people are very clicky if you fit in there click then you will do fine if you don't then you have a target one your back. 

Production can be a tough industry, but Vision is a small business with a heart. These are tough times, and they're very communicative when people make suggestions or requests. They've added a lot of little kindnesses to the workplace, are always receptive to suggestions, and actively try to make employees' lives and work experiences better. 

not a good place to work at. a lot of preference, HR never listen to employers. Typical day at work would be easy but with a lot of drama. Co- workers are great depends on the shift tho. The hardest part of the job would be standing certain people and swiping all day the day goes by really slow. Vision Plastic is not safety at all, Its a mess!
