Welch Packaging Group

Learned every job in the place, it could be a stellar place if morale wasnt in the toilet and employees made a decent living. Rarely are people made to feel good about their work and it takes a toll, with some executive changes they were making strides to improve. The place suffers organizationally because of plant layout, which leads to a helter skelter feeling and results in raw product being damaged and lost on the regular. I was a supervisor and had great relationships with my higher ups and with my floor people. Theres some real talent there that are just treading water and are held prisoner by wages

Management “works” upstairs 
Workers, work downstairs 
Management only comes down to the workers when it’s time to chastise someone.
But not just anyone, only if you look a certain way, and not the image they are trying to cultivate. If you don't look like the image they are trying to cultivate, they will make your work life as stressful as possible; all while telling you they treat everyone equally. Company has zero interest in honesty or serving its customers, just cultivating the image and appearance of success and prosperity.

Every day was typical of a manufacturing facility; lots of phone calls, emails, and intracompany communication. Every day was very busy but rarely required overtime. The management had quite a bit of turnover due to many company acquisitions and frequently shifting employees into different roles. The hardest part of the job was maintaining on-time delivery when production was not completed in-house. The most enjoyable part was meeting coworkers from the acquired corrugated companies and building relationships with them as well as their customers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Small factory feel but they don’t want to pay anyone more than 17 to start and 23 for being there over 30 years

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The amount of uncleanliness and dust in the air 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Small town feel almost you gotta kiss butt to get anywhere 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Setup machine complete orders wait for many break downs and get sent all over the plant to other machines it’s chaotic

If you come from a verbal and physically abusive home you will fit in perfectly with the Welch family company and you will never know the difference. From the supervisors taking a knife to some ones throat to the every day Jerry Springer (your manager) games.
Safety is only your concern, so If you cut yourself you will be yelled at, wrighten up and and then have to stay home the next day with no pay. It is up to you, not the companies fault. The fork lifts have the right way unlike the real world of motor vehicles

Easy going place to work. The more you show you know, the greater the expectations.
4 supervisors in 1 year.
Low morale in facility.
Job demands did not match job offer description.
Exemplary work is not rewarded.
Repercussions are applied without delay.
Company prides itself on its family values but does not apply to employee benefits.
Tools not provided; take very special care to lock yours up.


The company sells you the dream of being family-oriented and claims that every employee is part of the “family.” However, the reality is the exact opposite. There is no loyalty from higher-ups or managers, making this one of the worst trucking jobs I’ve ever had. The DOT paperwork is frequently expired, and unless you take it upon yourself to verify your paperwork, they’ll happily send you out with a trailer that has expired documents or has failed a DOT inspection.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I liked what I was doing.  The people were overall good.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The constant changing of who was my boss.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was good.  For the most part the company cared about the individual.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Constant movement.  Never dull.

They claim that they are a family there but if you aren’t apart of the “in” group they will look for reasons to fire you. They will tell you certain things in the interview and when you get hired they will claim they never said it. They have supervisors there that will follow employees to the bathroom to check to see if you are really using the bathroom. They treat employees like children. 

This is a 8-5 job if you are so lucky to work in the design department. This department had the best atmosphere of all the departments because in the other departments there are too many chiefs not enough indians. My co-workers were great, everyone here at Welch is like a big family. If you are a hard worker and enjoy seeing your work in action this is the place for you.
