Business Outlook

Pros

Good Pay, Good healthcare coverage.

Cons

Very little time off. They don't care about you or your family. If work is not your number one priority then you are wrong. No flexibility in schedule. In chair at 7:00am out at 4:00pm. Must take an hour lunch between 12:00pm-1:00pm. Most positions could be remote but they wont allow it. Very very old school mentality.

Pros

Summit Polymers is a decent place to work. I have found people on the whole are very friendly and helpful. The quality of parts we ship is outstanding compared to some places, and Summit is viewed highly by their customers.

Cons

Summit Polymers systems are out-of-date. Also, salary is not as high as other places. This is why they have had a hard time retaining staff in recent years. Most people work there for three to five years to gain experience and move onto another company that will pay more.
