Enter work, clock in 5min till work hour. go to station, wait for work detail, go to position, begin work. the job was not hard at all. being in hot heat and then cold air in winter, was the hardest part. tryin not to get sick. superviser and co workers were very friendly and easy to work with.

don't care for the work but can't complain about the pay. Don't get set break times, some days you get quite a bit of time and others you don't have time to eat your lunch on a 12 hour shift.

I work 2nd shift,6:45pm to 7:15am in a two week period I work 7 days
.
Fill out paper work I will need to rate quality. Find out if there were and problems during prior shift. Make quality check and pick up samples to put through the visual system. If there are any defects tell machine operators so the defects can be fixed. At the end of my shift I – more... file my paper work and relay any problems to the QC coming on.

I have learned to read a different kind of blue print than I had learned at a previous employer, working with plastics, such as how humidity has apart in the out come of a good plastic bottle.

Management:They have a open door policy and you can work with all management to come up with a solution for any problem you may have. They are always apart of the team.

Co-workers: We are all part of a team on the shift that we work and work very well together helping each other with our jobs,like if someone needs help getting caught up with packing the bottles to if a line has a jammed up and to relieving for breaks.

The hardest part of the job is how the different plastics have different problems.

The best part is that we all work as a team. – less
