Pros

Pay and benefits. That’s literally it…

Cons

Sibeclo (Unimin) used to be a wonderful company filled with local leaders who knew the company, people, and processes. Family oriented, holiday observant, bonuses, high morale, outstanding safety, quality, production, and more. But now… new leaders have came in, fired the locals, and completely ruined a huge cohesive family. The quality and safety is horrific. Zero training, zero trust, zero accountability. You’re a number to senior and local leadership. You will be thrown under the bus and backed over if it benefits their end goal. Sibelco was the most desired job in all surrounding counties… now it is by far the least desirable anywhere around and employees with 20 years plus are leaving for major pay cuts just to get away from the new leadership. The only local leaders remaining are puppets that continue to push horrible ideology and agenda set forth by senior leadership, due to being job scared. The morale among employees is simply sad. I don’t think it could be worse. They are not taken care of or cared about whatsoever. The Spruce Pine Plants are beyond fixable without a complete overhaul of plants and leadership.

Pros

It's all just so wonderful. Leadership, especially that from Europe is just so great. They like to change their goals every other day and I think that's great for the employee.

Cons

None, just so so great.

Pros

They improved the benefits, but that doesn’t cover up for their gross incompetence. HR actively trying to get employees to leave positive reviews on Glassdoor, usually around when someone gets a raise or considered for a new position, seems shady right?

Cons

Absolutely in no way should anyone accept a job here, even in desperation. They are an absolute mess, confused, disorganized, not a clue about how to operate a business in the US. Even if you accept a job with them, it’s highly likely that you will be laid off in a matter of months or reorganized out which has happened multiple times in the last 2 years. It’s actually quite amazing that a company can be this incompetent. They don’t actually care about you, especially if you are an American. They layoff long tenured employees with little severance because you’re just a number. Sibelco bankrupted a US company before and appears they learned nothing. It would not surprise me to see bankruptcy in the near future or sell off of parts of the business to stay afloat. Clearly they learned nothing from the last time they were inept and bankrupted a US business. Their European leadership are way in over their heads. It’s actually comical how bad they have messed up in the US glass market, competitors are eating their lunch and they aren’t intelligent enough to compete back. You need to run from this place, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, not even my worst enemy.
