Poor management

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Though overall pay was good the pay of the skilled labor was too close to general workers. Overtime was abundant but seemed to be their way of not paying what the standard was for credentials in area.

Cons

Very poor management. Promotion was based on brown nosing. Education level for management positions was irrelevant. Ling hours, expected to put work before family. Hot, dirty and loud working conditions . Hard work was credited with more work but very little praise. As an electrician they expected you to be not only be an electrician, but a programmer and an engineer all in one all for below average pay.

Pros

The school reimbursement program opportunity.

Cons

Only lateral movement. Little growth opportunities. Little to no training. Live to work company culture. Micromanagement style. No diversity in employees. Few young people. No job descriptions for current employees. Little to no direction from management. Old school way of doing things.

Pros

Bathrooms are clean and they don't make you wait outside to long after you call them to let you into the building.

Cons

Employees and management are rude to temporary staff, borderline harassment. Yell at and blame you for doing things you have not done. Provide false and misleading information about what your job is and what you will be doing. Physically unsafe working conditions. Posted flyers up against unionization and why... Infestation of mice, bugs and dirt on products.

Silgan Containers Response
7y
While we generally do not respond to reviews, we felt it necessary to address this because these claims are contrary to our corporate culture. Our company’s number one priority is safety. Silgan Containers has consistently exceeded industry benchmarks for safety and it is our corporate culture to drive toward zero injuries as we promote safety among more than 3,000 employees across the United States. Allentown is a brand new plant which began operating on June 1, 2017. We take great pride in showing-off our latest technologies and safety measures. We have had our most important customers participate in tours of this facility. Infestation is unacceptable and until this posting, we have not had any such complaint or allegation. All Silgan plants have a third party pest control company that makes visits monthly to conduct on-site inspections. We make concerted efforts to engage employees by seeking their recommendations for everything from change in production processes to how management treats employees. In 2016 we conducted an employee survey among our salaried employees and asked for the respondents level of agreement toward this statement; “Silgan Container employees generally feel they are treated with dignity and respect.” Seventy-six percent of respondents overwhelmingly agreed with the statement generating a statistically more favorable rating than the industry benchmark of 67%. While we do not claim to always be perfect in every unique situation, we do make it a matter of company policy to ensure there is NO DISCRIMINATION, HARASSMENT OR RETALIATION. In cases where there have been complaints of mistreatment, we fully investigate the claims to identify, correct and/or eliminate them. The Silgan Container VISION We will achieve excellence in all we do and be recognized as best in class We will partner with customers and suppliers to drive improvement in our business We will grow our markets by providing innovation solutions, highest quality and outstanding service, while meeting the expectations of our stakeholders. We will achieve this by being a great place to work where our people are trained and inspired to be the best they can be.
