Good job - Machine Operator Automated Packaging Systems Employee Review

There was much employee involvement and engagement. Company was 2/3rds owned by employees in an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). An offer to purchase the company by Sealed Air came in, it would DOUBLE the value of the ESOP. When the board submitted the offer to employees to vote on, it was overwhelmingly approved. Almost 10% of the shop floor employees became millionaires, and all employees with over 7 years employment received huge increases in their ESOP valuation.

Sale of company destroyed strong company culture. It was expected (and happened) that many employees in corporate departments like HR, IT, and accounting would lose their jobs (but still get good increase in their ESOP value). It looks like 6 years later, one of the companies 7 US factories will close, but there has been considerable job growth at the other 6 locations.

the pay isn't bad. if you want you can leave without telling anyone and go work out and get paid for it . you can bully the old guys and get away with it and nobody holds you accountable, its GREAT!

sometimes they want you to work an entire Friday!!! I mean the whole day to get paid for it. once they actually inspected a part I made, then they got mad it didn't match the print!
