Pros

Pay is good, benefits are good. Most guys on the floor are good people to work with.

Cons

Work way more days than scheduled. On call a lot for no extra pay. Repeatedly called in last minute, sometimes to just be a warm body. On call to cover special projects, not just for production needs and vacation/sick coverage. Way too many things are “tribal” knowledge and not written down or recorded for next time. The maintenance employees work 40 hours a week on day shift while production employees are expected to work 12 hour shifts anytime they are called to.

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.
