At the beginning, before the investment groups took control, it was a terrific company to work for. - Anonymous employee Arclin Employee Review

Pros

They offer a 401(k), they also have a crummy medical and dental plan (hey, they're owned by the Canadians now, which is the same as being owned by Obama and his group of Socialists). Other than that there is very little to say that is positive.

Cons

The company is at least 1/2 the size it was when I started. Over the years different investment groups have bought and sold and squeezed what they could from the company. The remaining employees spend a lot of their time looking over their shoulder and trying to shine their own star so they can stay employed. Since the company is a fraction of it's former size, there is little to no room for advancement. It is a company trying to survive in a dying industry.

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.
