Pros

Good people on the floor and some good mid-level management and support personnel.

Cons

Poor top plant leadership, with little remaining creditability or respect due. Their management philosophy is to rule through fear and intimidation. Initiatives are flavor-of-the-day, with so many changes that no continuity is possible. Items that are shared with the team by the plant manager as given company leadership principles are later to be found to be falsehoods when discussed with leadership team members outside the site. Layoffs continue, and although money continues to be thrown at the site, there is a feeling of decay, decline, and future demise. The problem is not lack of funds; it is poor leadership. The lucky or smart ones have already left, and others are planning their exit strategies. The current CEO appears to be a loose canon who cannot control neither his temper nor his mouth. During a recent visit you could hear him yelling and cursing through the offices walls; not very inspiring or professional in my opinion. My advice...look elsewhere for employment.

Pros

High-growth environment, pay is above market, freedom to work the way you like (create your own processes), leadership is hands-on and really understands the business, great culture, perks in the office like free lunch and snacks

Cons

Remote work is discouraged if you live near HQ (want people in the office 3 days/week)

Pros

Pay was solid. Staff at the plant level were generally kind, helpful, and capable.

Cons

Directors and Corporate - They're a plague on the company. They can't keep a Plant Manager, Plant Engineer, Process Engineer, Operations Manager, or even a Production Supervisor because of how poorly they treat everyone. The bus is for everyone; they won't be happy until they've thrown everybody under it. Expect calls off-hours every other day. Expect shifting priorities. Be a mind-reader. The rat race to the bottom consumes all here. I have never been more professionally disrespected in my life than when I worked at Arclin. It's messy, it's toxic, and it's not worth your time.
