      Awful Leadership

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Plenty of capable coworkers that are determined to keep this place running.

      Cons

      Upper management is terrible, cultivates a toxic culture, and their years of poor leadership have come back to bite everyone - constant cost cutting and annual layoffs have been the theme for at least 3 years now. Most employees are now performing the job of 2-3 people with lower than average pay. Retention is a massive problem, and most of our experienced talent is leaving for more pay and better work/life balance.

      Toxic company

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There is nothing redeeming about this company. They preach DEI and being ECO friendly while making plastics that destroy the planet along with cigarette filters. They do nothing new or innovative

      Cons

      Everything. Work life balance is non existent. Perform 3 jobs for the price of one. Management is currently and actively trying to get you to quit so they don't have to pay severance. You will be used and discarded. Management and the CEO double down on every bad decision while blaming the economy. Every decent person they had quit within the last year. They fell of the SP500 last year and that should tell you where the company is heading.

      BEWARE….Heartless Company and Leadership

      Pros

      The hardworking people that come to work in the plant everyday, do their jobs, and keeps the company in business!!!

      Cons

      The Executive Team only cares about keeping the stockholders happy and put money in their pockets. They don’t care about the employees. Everyone in HR is cut throat, backstabbers, and the rudest group of people. The company has had layoffs almost every year and some years they’ve had more than one, then pile more work on the people left to do multiple jobs. The most stressful job and place ever!
