What is the best part of working at the company?
Worked in the Chemical department for about 5 years in Control Room environment.  At the beginning of my journey, the work force was terrible.  The operators did what they wanted to do and the leadership team had no control.  However, after a couple years vested I began to see a drastic change in leadership and the caliber of new operator’s being brought in.  It became a great place to work.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Thinking back, I would say the lack of maintenance support.  Machine issues were always blamed on operator errors.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Once they were able to clean-up there work force, it became a great teaming environment.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I worked as a Machine operator, so I was always busy.  Our supervisor would give us a weekly production schedule to work from.

This company has shown steady growth every year, even despite this tough economy. They continue to create new positions as needs arise and don't overwork their employees. 

The Leadership team is very focused and has made great strides in correcting issues from previous administrations (2013 and before).

Everyone is very professional: No micro-managing or people looking over your shoulder. When issues do occur, there is no "blaming" or "finger-pointing". People and teams come together to solve the issue, fix root causes, and move forward.

Teams here are like family and genuinely like each other and get along. There are a lot of perks to working at Young. Plus, the products we sell are the best in the market. It's great to go to the dentist and hear how they love our products!

If you enjoy being left in the dark, this is the place for you. Grossly unprofessional upper-management sets multiple teams up for failure with vague, ever-changing direction, expectations, and vision. Lacking strategy and real-world experience leads to blatantly ripping off competition without any real investigating, understanding, or  identification of true objectives. While this company is small, employees are broken down to a number and forced to stand in line.

Turnover is incredible - the revolving door is nearly a blur as many are hired and choose to leave quickly or are let go. Restructuring has led to many very recent layoffs and downright pitiful morale. My advice? Trust the reviews on indeed/glassdoor and RUN. This is a sinking ship.

Management will not lead or guide. Communication is nonexistent. When you bring up workplace human resource issues they do not investigate properly and then discipline you for bringing it up. As a production supervisor people not in the production department make decisions that directly affect production. Complete disconnect from management and the people that actually DO the job. With absolutely zero support, management has daily meeting to stroke each other’s egos and not listen to the actual issues effecting production

Cycled through 6 different IT managers within the course of my first 6 months of employment. But that wasn't the worse part, the Sr. Help Desk Supervisor was disrespectful, ignorant, and distressing to communicate with.  This unprofessional behavior was the catalyst for my departure from Young Innovations.  Fortunately my short tenure brought attention to this matter, consequently prompting termination of employee shortly thereafter leaving Young Innovations.
Being observational & optimistic,  I sensed change in the IT department, a positive reflection the new IT Director advocated.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Employees were hardworking and grateful given proper training and motivation. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trying to fix a broken culture and system

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is an odd combination of strict and laid back in that the amount of work is laid back but the adherence to archaic rules and regulations is very strict. Culture reflects this, and values adherence to dogma over production/ efficiency.

I enjoyed what I did, picking orders , however pay is not good . Everyone gets paid the same amount even temps.  Also this company likes to give reviews way past January (where normal company’s do at that time) not many people work for this company , they throw too much on one person, if that person goes on vacation then comes back they blame the person for messing up when they are on vacation as they cannot keep track of their employees when they have like 14 people working their , back breaking for not much pay . You have to put your foot down with these people or they will walk all over you. Also they will screw you over of your back pay , didn’t get a review til may . 

I was considered an independent contractor when I worked with Young as a Clinical Representative in my area. (I think this program has since been eliminated from the company). Aside from the lack of benefits and growth that being a 1099 employee afforded me, the company itself was great. Everyone I worked with was professional and kind and seemed to truly love their job and the work they were doing. I was always treated with dignity and respect. Their products are top notch, and it shows in their manufacturing, employees, leaders, and values. 

No accountability, no check's and balance, absolutely no trying new things, lies and disrespect, their job description still says you will be adjusting cams which where on machines that they no longer have like ten years ago. Then you run 8 machines during your shift and get paid for running 2. Then the so called engineer would tell you that your programming wrong but couldn't tell you what is wrong pretty funny.

Having an extended background in accounts payable this place is a MESS. The compensation was super low for their high demands. Super unorganized personal accounts, overhead bills and company bills all mixed and unmatched. Over 1,000 + documents unfiled. Super chatty team that seems to only judge people and not work. No wonder it's only temps. Good luck, this place is falling apart. They need to restructure the whole department and separate accounts from over head bills, companies and employe/temps.
