Ball Corporation Employer Reviews

12 hour days in 4 day shifts---6am to 6pm.
I've learned to work as a team member.
My co-workers are varied in age and abilities.
Management is often on work floor.
12 hour shifts can be tiresome.
Making new friends.

Not bad place to work. Typically a good place to work. Some outsourcing going on.

12 hr shifts and rotations are hard on family life. Pay is good but health benefits are high deductible plans 4,000 ded. not so good for family with children. Ball will also close a business in the blink of an eye. Not much thought of how it will effect families working for them. In summary if you want a good paycheck and don't mind be considered an – more... employee number then it is ok to work for them. If you want more than an agreement of i come to work for a paycheck then you might want to look somewhere else. – less

Constant communication between, plant and equipment vendors to coordinate equipment deliveries, and installation. Cross communication to ensure smooth installs with minimal plant impacts.

Management and co-workers are great. Do a lot of quality checks and adjustments to make a good quality product.

Great fortune 500 company to work for, was employed for 14 years at this company, learned a lot of different functions within the accounting/finance field, only left company for higher wages and new opportunity

Work is as close to a family environment as possible considering that it's an industrial environment.

Plant closuer. Poor econimic conditions forced decision.

Very nice place to work for. Other employees fun to work with. Worked eight hours on eight hours off. Pay and benefits were very nice.

I enjoy working for Ball, you get to take ownership in all you do.

I gave this review a fairly poor one due to the circumstances of my departure from Ball. I hade three very close people on my side of the family die in four months.
I was called upon by my remaining family for help on each of these funerals. The company was informed about the third one, and knew I had to leave the state to do this.
With my past experience, – more... I called into the attendance line that I would not be in for the four days without pay to take care of this third and hopefully last funeral.
Upon returning home I receive a phone call letting me know that I had missed too many days for funerals, even when I provided them with obituaries upon their request.
I had hundreds of dollars in tools on the production floor that they shipped to my house along with my termination letter.
I just seemed like an error in tragedies to me. I had not missed one day for anything else, so I just took it as a sign. – less

Good company to work for, unfortunately the plastic division was sold a few years ago to another company.

GOOD JOB TO HAVE !!!!!! AND GOOD PAY 21.00HR UNION WORK PLACE. LOTS OF OVERTIME.

Sustainable, profitable, values their workforce, excellent benefits.

I enjoyed this electroplating operation. Being a three shift manufacturing, couple of times I had to be there for midnight shift that lasted couple of weeks. This is to trouble shoot and resolve plating issue.
Good benefits.

I started out as a Systems Analysts I and ended up a Systems Analysts II. I was the focal point for 3 Manufacturing Plants (Chino, CA, Torrance, CA & Vancouver Canada. My home plant was the Chino facility and I would goto Torrance every 6 weeks for 1 week and I would got the Vancouver Plant twice a year for 2 weeks. I took care of 450 end-users & 250 – more... Workstations (mainly remotely using Remote Admin or Norton PC Anywhere). I liked going to work daily as this is what I love to do and the hardest part is when the Network would go down and I had a whole plant waiting for it to come up. – less

Very predictable schedules but they are revolving.Very low turnover rate.

Excellent Company!..good wages, good benefits.
Management listens to ground floor employees and uses theyre ideas. worked for them 7 years, was best job i ever had

As time changes so does the manufacturing business. Fast paced and ever changing on a dime. Being prepared for anything is key.

With any job there are things you would change if you could. I enjoy my work and the people I work with. I love being busy... and I AM in the AP Department. I have learned so much since working at Ball Corporation and hope to use what I've learned either with them, permanently or for a different company.
