Avery Dennison Employer Reviews

Enjoyable experience, great people to work with. Each day was a little different and made that the best part of the job. Hardest part was the inevitable wait for project funding. The most enjoyable portion was when we were finally cleared to take off and do it!

I enjoyed my time a Avery Dennison, until they had a mass layoff.

Very flexible and considerate compensate very well.
Great diversity
Managed very well

A typical workday can bring many new challenges and you always learn something new. The management is very good at taking care of people and understanding you have a life outside of the company. Most of the co-workers are nice hard working people who will help you out if you need it. The hardest part of the job is keeping up with the ever changing product – more... lines. My favorite part of the job is you never know what you are going to be doing from day to day, it is a constant challenge and I enjoy it. – less

Stay far away from this place! The manager and sales rep like to bully the person in this position. Apparently this has been going on for a few years now and everyone in the office is well aware of it and has said they could not and would not work for these two individuals. I approached them for training and my job was threatened after a mere two weeks – more... of being hired. Before I lost my job, these two individuals had a meeting with me and ripped me a new one, saying I was at fault for not succeeding and I would not be doing the job I was hired to do because I "had no integrity." The sales rep is a psycho control freak as well - she will email you 800 things to do and wants them all yesterday - no joke! Stay away! – less

love my job whether it running the press or being the helper
good place to work

An employee valued company. Would recommend this company to others to work for.

My duties in the shipping department were to scan, register and load our products for overnight shipment. We made labels that can be seen on many office supplies and products. I learned how to exercise not only physical strength but also my mental strength in counting orders, labels shipped etc.

A typical day at work may consist of: learning new things because of the fast pace and always changing nature of work loads that pass threw our department. Management, on a regular basis does a good job of keeping their employees focused on the task at hand and accomplishing customer needs within our means. The interaction with co-workers gives us the – more... opportunity to come together and bounce ideas and knowledge off of one another to come up with the best solutions to the problems that we may face as a department as a whole. The challenge within the work place is communicating effectively with other departments within our local and external branches to get goals accomplished in a timely manner for our customers. It is safe to say that the knowledge of production versus demand isn't as precise as we all would like it to be. The most gratification that I receive from working with this company is the interaction with quality employees and the wisdom and knowledge that they provide on a daily basis. – less

Very Global and requires you to be available 24hrs a day to deal with global issues. Very difficult for life balance, but the company has wonderful employees with great opportunity for growth.

Your average companny to work for with above average pay for the area average benefits co- workers your average Joe fast paced work
with cut off times for on time orders.

33 1/2 years ago i started at Avery Dennison and wages , benefits were outstanding. It was managed by people who came up from the ranks and knew having everyone involved including the employees opinions were very important. A lot of teams help build the company, now it is management take it or leave it. Hope it changes back to the older days.

Family oriented & slow pace. everyone is very friendly, very good work life balance.

Worked here right after high school in a warehouse running machines producing rolls of vinyl. It was a very demanding job and had to meet a quota everyday. Some of the co workers I still considerd some of my great friends today. 2nd place team in our softball league.

start up meeting,pick orders stage in staging lanes. proscess orders for shipment.

Was a temporary with a promise to be hired on after 6 months. When I was not hired on, was told to hold off. Waited 9 months only to be told a hiring freeze was on. When I got tired of waiting for them to hire me permanently, I found another job. I gave my 2 weeks notice and they told me my services were no longer needed.

If you like to work in a hectic – more... atmosphere where everything is an emergency, no plans to streamline production or make any changes to relieve the press overload and a supervisor who likes to play favorites with her girls, this is your deal. Otherwise supervisor was a pretty nice person. Her manager was a neurotic narcissistic fool. Everybody was way overloaded.

The general manager loved telling us how well we were doing, when in fact the place was going down the dumper and we need to do more. – less

Work as a team, honest feedback, learned more about production.

color matters,room for no advansement,looking for but kissers

Avery focused on all aspects of Lean learning. The company and its employees regularly participate in Kaizen and Shikumi events to identify and remedy issue at the core of the business.

The management focus on advancing the front line leaderships ability to perform root cause analysis and to incorporate all levels of the business in solving the problems.

They have great people on the production floor and the supervisors are great but upper management leaves a little on the table as far as management skills.
