Waterway-Plastics

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Waterway Plastics, both as an employee and as a customer. This company prides itself on being a leader in the industry, but the reality is far from it.

Employee Experience:
Waterway Plastics operates on a hire-and-fire-at-will basis, with a toxic work culture where you must constantly suck up to the owners, and especially the grandson, to keep your job. There is no sense of job security or professional respect. Instead of valuing hard work and dedication, the company rewards those who indulge in office politics and favoritism. This creates a stressful and demoralizing environment, making it one of the worst places to work.

Product Quality:
Despite their claims of producing top-tier products, the quality is subpar at best. I’ve witnessed numerous instances where products failed shortly after installation, causing significant inconvenience and additional costs for customers. What’s worse is the company’s blatant refusal to stand behind their products. When issues arise, they are quick to deflect blame and avoid taking responsibility, leaving customers high and dry.

Customer Service:
Waterway Plastics’ customer service is as disappointing as their products. They are unresponsive and unhelpful, showing little to no concern for resolving issues. Their attitude towards customers is appalling, further proving that they do not care about maintaining any level of customer satisfaction or loyalty.

Overall, I would strongly advise against doing business with Waterway Plastics. There are far better companies out there that value their employees, produce quality products, and genuinely care about their customers. Save yourself the hassle and steer clear of Waterway Plastics.

My Shift would start at 7 a.m and it would end at 3:30 p.m.During those eight hours i would be inside a warehouse in a assembly line. The job wasn't difficult sometimes it would get bring at times but that's work. The manager was wasn't as nice he would have a long face and would scream most of the time or maybe that was the way he would talk. That is something that would make my day somewhat hard, but my co workers were different. They wouldn't give me a hard time.i really enjoyed that because sometimes it would get really hot inside the warehouse.

I worked 2nd shift so the production is slower than first shift.  The communication is changing constantly from when I get original orders from 1st shift supervisor.  Environment is encroaching and not made for many to stay permanently.  When I did it became hostile with manipulation games instead of straight business.  To much fumes in building to make me want to stay permanently due to health and safety. I'd only apply with goal of finding new occupation within 3 months instead of staying. To each their own.

Well let me start with the leads wouldn't even have work instructions . didnt know how to be leader's they were very selfish never appreciAted any work.. Supervisor was very rude and mean. Needs to buy better tools they provided you with cheap gloves that dont help at all nd they need fix  there molding  machines people do too much work to clean out the parts for it assemble propertly . very dirty enviroment bathrooms are disgusting . i wouldnt recommend anybody to work here youll never get a raise no ot. Hr doesnt help at all she needs to fired she cant do her job !!!

Company has a lack of understanding on providing customer service to our customers.  No sales management support from the corporate office and outsides sales representatives are given little to no training support in the field.

Typical day at work consist of email, text, and phone calls while traveling and making daily sales calls.

The hardest part of the job is receiving support from upper management resolving issues.  Lack of any cohesiveness.

Waterway has got to be the worse company I've ever worked for.  The benefits suck.  Over 1000 a month for health care and they try to say this is affordable.  The coverage for dental/vision is minimum.  You get very little training and when you ask for more training to help you do your job better you get brushed off.  Also, you will never get a raise.  Management, needs more training on how to be a leader. Most of the other people were nice.

I have to admit it was kind of hard for me at first because of the many things we had to learn but overall it was easy. Lots of friendly people who would help me learn how to do things and where to locate materials. I made friends there. People are just super friendly, thats what made the job easier because there was people i could count on when i needed help. It was fun work experience for it being my first job.

a typical day at work can consist of calm working tasks or fast paced packaging. I learned many numbers of the products that help my job easier. The management is a little harsh but the workers definitely need the pushing. In my opinion, there is no hard part of this job, all you have to do is follow what your leaders tell you, be a fast worker and you will be fine.

The good is that this company has the capability of being great and very competitive in its industry. The bad is that they do not employ strong leaders nor do the senior management allow the ability to properly function as a competitor within their industry, based on pricing, production, or service. Quality of products is low and inconsistent. This company lacks support of employees.

I lasted 11 days before they let me go. The president of the company is very petty and HR is the same. Lack of good management for maint. Gave no reason as to why they let me go. I was doing a good job. Employees are very nice people stuck in a job that they will not grow in. It’s a family owned business.
