Poly-America Employer Reviews

Y'all better off working fast food,management is very selfish and mostly rude.No open doors here,and the pay really sucks....for the exposure to poly dust and noise.The summers are steamy and the winters are freezing

me and my co-worker have a number of line the test. data input at the end of shift have to work with supervisor and machine operators with the results, emails all personnel with results.

I see by the reviews that things havnt gotten any better than when I was employed there. It gives the true meaning of sweat shop, both figurely and facturally. Back in the early days was nothing uncommon to put in 60-70 hours a week for low pay and with lousy management.
I spent 3 of the longest years there.

A typical day at work for me is repairing machines that has malfunction.
I learned how to change out air lines, bearings, gears, belts, motors, rollers, cylinders, and repaired upper and lower seal heads, as well as rollers on the bag machines.
Management gave me an opportunity to learn various things.
The hardest part of the job was working in the – more... heat of the summary while the machine was operating at 300 degrees.
The most enjoyable part of the job was doing what i loved, working with my hands. – less

I thought this was the job I would retire from. I didn't mind the low pay or horrible working conditions. I enjoyed my coworkers and remain friends with most today. But the management team was a bunch of good ole boys. I was by far the most knowledgeable electrician in the plant. I was bullied out the door. I have my own electrical contracting business – more... now and make 100x the money I was really hurt by thr way I was treated. – less

I will say it's a good place to work. Co-workers work well with each others.

Poly has not had lay offs for their entire time in business. I can say that if you want to find a place to retire, this could be it. Unfortunately the pay scale is about 3 to 6 dollars too low and if you don't have friends in the management circle, you will not get promoted. The managers do not tend to lead, but to bully their subordinates. The rotating – more... shift schedule will not allow time for school or family activities. – less

They have an extremely high turnover rate which causes me and my co-workers to constantly train new employees and keeps me from ensuring that a quality product is getting made. We are constantly running shorthanded which in turn puts more of a workload on everyone else which makes it hard to keep up with quality.

had some fun working hear but there working invironment wasn``t too good because of air condtioning

Management is a 'good ole boys' club. If you don't fit you are sure to be booted. Warehouse personnel is worked to death and office personnel is treated even worse. Managers are clueless and leave their office workers to do all the work while they boast about how great their department is. Warehouse workers complaints are not heard. Anyone who doesn't – more... 'fall into place' will find themselves kicked to the curb for lame reasons. – less
