Pros

Summit Polymers is one of the few organizations that believes and practices Lean (TPS) principles from the top of the organization all the way to the bottom.

Cons

Being Lean Minded does have it's drawbacks - "Highest Quality Lowest Cost with the Shortest Lead Time" - The lowest cost part does seem to carry to the salary / hourly pay of the employees. Benefits are average - nothing special.

Pros

The pay is OK. There are some good people employed here. Decent benefits. 401k. Pto Vacation after 1 yr Yearly raises for the first 5 yrs.

Cons

Poor management. No work, home balance, they expect you to live at work. The 401k is forced, you can not decline it. Best believe, this company doesn't care about employees. No communication from the top down. Something will change and you won't be notified til you've done it the previous way and get in trouble. Point system is horrendous, it takes 2 months perfect attendance to get 1 point back. Pto is hard to use. Gets denied often. Even with plenty of notice.
