Outside Consultant (Former Employee), Wichita, KS – March 23, 2013
I was part of a subsidiary of Invista which was closed down (originally part of DuPont sold to Koch Industries). My contact with Invista was to finish closing down my subsid, and then act as a consultant for information pertaining to lawsuits and sales tax audits. The employees were easy to work with.
operator (Former Employee), ornage, tx – February 5, 2013
Pros: bathroom breaks, plenty of gossip
Cons: sucks the life out of you
I don't really understand the positive reviews unless people think they can be tracked and get that pat on the back that is ever so elusive. Values are nonexistent. Management covers each others backs and acts like they are clueless to issues when in fact they encourage noncompliance or working around the system. When you bring issues to light everyone – more... acts like they are on board but then does whatever they want. It is a horrible place to work and the owner is buying more and more companies every day making it hard impossible to burn bridges. Everyone is so busy complaining about the conditions that no real work ever gets done. – less
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee), Orange, TX – January 23, 2013
Pros: benefits
Cons: atmosphere, management, hr, fear of retaliation
This company has a very high rate of turnover which indicates bad management or poor working conditions. The company does not have any loyalty to their employees and people are viewed as a commodity. Pay counteroffers are more common than raises for loyal productive employees. With turnover so high no one really knows what they are doing because they – more... haven't been properly trained.
On the plus side benefits are great and it's a perfect place to get experience to fill out your resume. – less

I as a forklift operator/data entry i was to obtain the product from the recieving area take it take it to the shipping department and process the orders as they are in proper order for the buying customers. This was done by a RF scanner gun. I operated a sit down forklift to move the product from one place to the other.
A typical work day involves a lot of trouble shooting. These jobs take time to learn and master. Management and co-workers work together in a teamwork enviornment to ensure safety and good job performance. The hardest part of the job is the tight spaces and learning the processes. The best part of the job is the teamwork.
Doffer/Packer (Current Employee), Lugoff, SC – November 6, 2012

Cons: cant leave for breaks, no growth in the company uti that i work for
It is a fun place to work at with strong advancement in the company. My co workers are friendly and helpful when it comes to helping me solve problems in the work field. Since I work for UTI, which is a contractor under the Invista, my goal is to work for the Invista where I can advance in the growth of the company.

Territory Manager (Former Employee), NJ – September 17, 2012
Pros: 401k matching & healthcare
Cons: mangement often knows less then their employees
Corporate culture is like a cult and everyone uses it to back up their bad behavior. People are promoted for no logical reasons and the best employees are left without advancement opportunities.
The cult like dedication to regurgitating the "principals" qualifies you for promotion, so if you can blow smoke you got it made. If you want to actually follow the "principals" which are basic moral code and common sense then sorry no room for you here. This is a great place to get experience and move on, not a place to grow.
