Family Enviroment
Quality Group Leader (Former Employee), Battleboro, NC –
Pros: reward days, christmas party
Cons: short breaks
Each day was challeging. No two days were the same. I learned people skills, time management, priortization of my assignments, quality technicians assigments, handled customer complaints from customers, cooporate and other satelite plants.I also learned managerial skills when my manager was out of the plant.I managed eleven quality technicians on a – more...  day to day basis. Implemented the Gung Ho program to improve employee motivation and scheduled quality meetings for the entire plant. The company employed over three hundred employees on four different shifts. Working in quality gave me the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with all employees. The hardest part of my job was saying goodbye to my fellow co-workers when the plant closed. The most enjoyable part of my job was training and mentoring my fellow co-workers and watching their daily growth in development. – less

Berry Plastics
Operator (Current Employee), Sarasota, FL –
I worked at Berry Plastics for a little over five years. While at the Bowling Green, KY location I was trained with Quality Assurance. Really liked what I did in all aspects of this position. My wife accepted a position at the University of South Florida so I transferred to Sarasota, FL. Here I had to learn a whole new area of machine operating. It – more...  has been a tedious process. – less
