Sometimes the grass really is greener on the other side. Multiple employees from a few months to 7+ years with the company have been let go without warning. It is a small company so if business is slow only the owner's sons and a few people in the office have real job security. The son that is Head of Maintenance is more the self appointed Plant Watchdog and spends most of his time walking around taking pictures and documenting any small thing he doesn't like so him or his brothers can blow it out of proportion and use it as a reason to write people up if an employee gets on their bad side. A couple are decent but most will smile to your face then stab you in the back if it benefits them. Management in general is extremely shady. It was bizarre watching 40+ year old dudes saying things like "I'm gonna go tell dad." if they had an argument or "If anyone has a problem they can talk to my dad." to employees. They treat the people who work there more like servants than employees. It's ran by a grumpy old man and his four spoiled sons that have no prior experience in management or manufacturing. 'Yeah, it sucks, but it pays well'.įirst I'd just like to say, I know this isn't going to make me a popular guy, but this place is a complete and total dumpster fire to work for. Anyone that has decided to stay seems to have the same motto. I noticed that the pay has gone up by $2.00 an hour since I quit, which doesnt surprise me. It kind of kills motivation when one person has to run around to get the job done but the next shift has the exact same tasks done by two very bored people. Their goal is to hire extra so that supervisors dont have to work overtime when entry-level employees eventually quit or drop attendance. Which makes sense, since they always have enough people. They will be watching you every shift, day and night, weekend or holiday, and they will call you ASAP to correct you.ĭont worry about getting fired, though they would rather take time out of their day to yell at you every chance they get, than pay for your unemployment. It doesnt matter if what you are doing is more efficient, or that one brother praised you for it, or that the concern for the change in procedure doesnt exist during your shift. Maybe it was because they were excited to play with their new toys, but not a single person was able to avoid their micromanagement. For me, that changed when they started installing cameras all over the warehouse. Good workers are, of course, treated well. If you get on any of their bad sides, you will likely stay there, with all of them. He delegates management to his four sons. My understanding is that the person that started the company has been actively in charge for nearly two decades. The job itself wasn't bad the main problem was management. I recently quit after working here for a few months.
