York Container Company

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part about working ay York Container Company was the day I quit and started another job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Poor organization of materials needed for immediate  and future use.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Teamwork no longer exists.  Due to mid-level and production management more focused on their own success and vertical movement within the company, teams/departments work against each, not with each other.  This is the first company I’ve worked where managers can “fail upward”.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Counterproductive.  Due to poor planning, organization, inadequate space needed for raw materials, and common sense, materials needed for machines are placed  at opposite ends of the staging rails, often times in between other items that are not needed.  Resulting in the transport cars being unable to retrieve priority materials quickly and efficiently, leading to multiple production delays.

The company has good benefits and pays well. Jobs in production I would recommend. Anything in the maintenance department I would strongly advise not to apply for. The maintenance Manager does not treat people fairly and makes decisions based on his ego. Many good employees have come and gone due to the things that go on in the maintenance department and upper management allows it to happen. The workplace culture in the maintenance department is bad. Bad attitudes and low drive to do good work fill the air. Dirty, unorganized, parts everywhere. Maintenance techs spend hours looking for parts, unable to find them. Management seems to only care about things that are important to them and not what is best for the company. The hardest part of the job is dealing with people who do not want to work and do the bare minimum to get by. The best part of the job is receiving your paycheck. 

It is a stressful, hot environment. In the summer at least. As goes with majority of warehouse manufacturing jobs. We work every other weekend or every single weekend. But the pay is pretty good and the benefits are great. Upper management is trying to fix the mistakes that have piled up through the years. But it’s going to take awhile until they’re operating well.  

With all that being said, they still are a danm good company to work for. Plenty of opportunity to advance, especially if you just start as a packer. Company will be even better after some years of trying to be better. 

My immediate supervisor is awesome. My immediate co-workers are great. But, most of the other upper management is questionable.  There have been some personnel changes that may or may not fix this.The current human resources team is lacking everything including job skills, good judgement, and human interaction skills. Many employees here are negative because of some bad and some immoral decisions made for the sake of the almighty dollar in the recent past. They are trying to improve the culture recently, but they should have done this sooner. I really hope it works out. A positive work environment is always the best for culture and creating a productive work force.If they can pull this off, I would recommend working at York Container.

York container ... haha! Biggest joke in York county. The management has their favorites, if your not one of them watch out. They breathe down your neck about getting something done they just informed you about at the beginning of your shift. The maintenance doesn’t take any requests seriously and won’t fix it unless it’s stopping a machine from running. The supervisors ... haha, I’m on my fourth so far luckily he’s a good one the first was dumb didn’t know how to do her the job the second was a pervert the third couldn’t work with women and blatantly lied to get me out of his department your forced to work every Saturday depending on what machine your on everyone is all up in everyone’s business people steal your stuff it’s just bad if your thinking about it think again

Had to fill the whole plant with stock. Stock is falling off rails all day long. Corrugator shoving stock on rails and pushing stack off rails onto the floor. Ask for help picking up stock off the floor and nobody helps.  This place is so  unorganized and is a complete mess.  You can give it a 110% every day and you still won’t ever be a head of your job. They pull jobs off the machines and expect you to keep feeding the plant and pull out stock from machines that you are a filled. Run Run Run. 

Working at York Container was a great experience for me in many different ways. The position I took was very challenging and definitely pushed me. The head boss on second shift was a great man and solid leader. Unfortunately for me I was in a place where I needed to get some inpatient help for depression, I hadn't been there long enough to get FMLA so they weren't able to work with me to keep my job.  But in all I feel like it was a great company and experience for me and that definitely helped me in the position I have now at my new employer. 

Under old management going through learning curves. Management had to learn to upgrade equipment to improve quality and alos with those improvements convert them into additional sales. They work as a team and my crew was the best I've ever had. Great workers. I enjoyed working with all the people on my shift and enjoyed teaching . Management still has a alot to learn about the business, but are getting there. Small steps

One thing I can say if you are comfortable with performing your job ability then you can do a wonderful job. If they allow people to be happy and not so strict on they employees it is a wonderful place to work. They do look out for there employees. Just have to really fix management issues quick

If you like working in a place with no Air conditioning, no vents open in the building, machines running that produce heat and the boxes you will be handling are warm from being freshly made than this is the place for you. Not to mention you will be feeding boxes into a machine at a fast pace with a 10 - 20 - 10 minute break schedule.... Strait sweat shop! The A.C. broke and it's not getting fixed.
