Pros

Really the only good thing about inteplast is, you know your schedule. It is set up until the day you die. Youre really only working 15 days a month but still get overtime. Unless you are salary or work for maintenance. Then be prepared to get called out. Constantly.

Cons

Ugh. There are way too many. #1. It is hot. Really hot. Really really hot. Alot of departments never really get enough break time to cool off. #2. You are a robot. Less than a robot really. You are just a part of the robot. Dispensable. They are ready to throw you away at a moments notice. #3. There is absolutely zero room for advancement. I have been there for 13 years. Im a technician A sr. Have been for 9 years. My shift supervisor has been a shift supervisor for 22 years. All of the shift supervisors and lead techs have been stagnant for at least 10-20 years. You wont move up and they dont want you to. #4. The place is inherently dangerous. Managment will fire you for getting hurt even if its their fault. Ive seen it happen numerous times. #5. Think you have a way to fix a problem? Nope. Even though you did fix it, your engineer best friend WILL get the credit for it no matter what. Skilled labor will not work there. The starting pay is less than bucees in most departments. So far we have lost our pensions, and now we are starting to pay more and more for our health insurance. Pretty soon that will be gone too. Not sure but i think there is no more company match on our 401k either. Its only getting worse.

Pros

Steady job and direct deposit payment.

Cons

-Standing on hard concrete all day with little to no mat -Ran four lines for lunch breaks, while already permanently operating the 2 fastest lines as is -Expected to do QC always on time even when running 4 different lines for lunch -Expected to watch your machines at all times even when running more than 1 at a time and even though you have to inevitably step away to find and replenish boxes -Shift before you can always leave you high and dry with no boxes and no materials and leaves there machines early, so you come in already behind even if you show up early -There is no ventilation and there are vents in the warehouse but the warehouse is so huge and they are placed in the middle of the warehouse where conveniently no one works except the higher ups -Pay seems good, but under these conditions and expectations, not well enough -Set schedule and if someone misses, the rest of people on their line covers for them -If you try and call someone about an emergency, don't expect anyone to answer nor care -Don't always expect to be able to get your break -Expect to occasionally have to stay behind an extra hour or two after your 12 hour shift for meetings, even if you have to work the next day as well -12 hour shift and only a thirty minute lunch because not enough people to cover lunches -High turnover because of horrible work conditions

Pros

Steady work, routine and "bland". If you show up, you get paid. Owner is very honest, and actually cares about his employees. But he does not see how things are being implemented on his behalf.

Cons

Unimaginative, and very cheap. Everything run from HQ in New Jersey, and it takes FOREVER to make decisions on personnel matters. Plus, they can only manage "cookie cutter" business matters, and do not understand when some businesses thrive in custom markets. If they had a choice, there would be no Baskin Robbins because vanilla from Dairy Queen is good enough!
