Janicki Industries reviews

- Not much room for advancement within the company. - Even if you have a degree, you can still get stuck in a dead-end position. - Lots of meetings about "opportunity" when charts on the wall show dipping demand and rising costs. - Cost cutting can literally take the tools out of your hands, causing unnecessary time crunches and backups in production, which inevitably gets blamed on whoever the latest scapegoat is. - Lots of high fives in your face, and loads more talking behind your back, whether good or bad. Backstabbing is a common practice here. - Even when you're "doing well" here, it's only because you'll accept the most awful tasks that other employees walk away from because you can't afford to lose your job. - Lots of chemicals, and I've seen people get mocked for coming in with a doctor's note for rashes caused by skin irritants. PPE only does so much, even when used properly. - Your only hope of advancement is maybe becoming a CDI or a lead, which just means a couple more dollars, more hours, and lots of babysitting and paperwork.

Hamilton facility has developed a negative rap, mainly because of the leadership there having a bullying or narcissistic reputation with lots of micromanaging. A major problem is that as a "job shop", projects come and go and there is cyclical "boom and bust", so when things are slow everyone is working 8 hours, 9 to 10 when busy, and to make ends meet the new people get canned whenever there is a downturn. It doesn't matter how good you are or your dedication because when things are slow, the company contracts back to the same old people who were there for a decade. It isn't worth your time - don't depend on this place as a career. Poor work/ life balance too.
