Pros

Days off, it's great to have a 3 day week with 4 days off and 4 days on 3 days off.

Cons

12 hour shifts are tough to get use to, they preach and preach about advancement but it never comes. The shop is extremly hot in the summer be prepared to tough it out you very rarely will get all your breaks

Thank you for your feedback. Any and all information that helps us grow as a company is greatly appreciated. We are very excited about the new certification levels that have been implemented in all areas of our manufacturing departments. This allows our team members to clearly see what they need to accomplish to continue to grow with Next. We also hope that adding some additional resources to our training department in the way of programs and people will also stimulate our team members growth.

Opportunity Is What You Make Of It

Pros

The exponential growth within Next Generation Films, Inc. has opened the opportunities for current employees, as well as, potential employees to advance their selves at a rate beyond that of most other companies / industries in this region. Those opportunities then become what you make of them. Prior to my employment with Next Generation Films I had no existing relationship with the Owners or members of Senior Management and yet my time with this company has been very positive.

Cons

Due to the rapid growth with the company, Next Generation Films has been forced to stay competitive by focusing highly on capacity, quality, and delivery. Due to that there are other areas that had not been able to receive the same attention, however this is something that Next Generation has recognized and is answering by allocating the appropriate resources to further improve on those areas.

Not what I thought it would be when they interviewed me, then hired me, then even after I went through orientation.

Pros

The Building is beautiful, the customers are very pleasant, I am happy to get a paycheck. I enjoy being able to shop there.

Cons

Mgmt is Professionally Lacking, Schedules are Never Ahead of Time & once out, they are then changed 2-5 times before they are final.My Department is Severely Understaffed Purposefully, My Manager has made it very clear that we must work the full amount of hours for either part time, full time, or seasonal & nothing less & still tries to go over those # of hours because we need more employees in our department. Gives us so many tasks, I might not even get my 2, 15 Minute breaks and I end up taking my lunch break an hour before my shift is over. We never get any positive feedback from our Mgrs or Supervisors, ever.There seems to be no positive morale at all here in this NEX, at least I have never seen it or heard about it happening, very disappointing.Will get written up at the drop of a hat here, you have to be careful about anything & everything, even for the most minor thing, you will be verbally counseled & written up. Never seen anything like it before in my life.
