The good: you meat SOME hard working people,gain skills for daily life...Bad: people are rude, lazy, lie,bad mouth
Job is okay. There are some good hard working people, they do a good job. Then there are some bad apples that mess things up and can possibly ruin your experience there. Some are lazy and cant do their job right.
Great work enviroment with a great leadership team
Working in a smaller line let me get to know my coworkers well. Getting up at 5am was probably the hardest thing to get used to. However once I got used to it, I was doing great. They would celebrate birthdays for each other all the time, creating a great work enviroment. We typically worked in a very efficient manner.
Job seekers rely on your experience.
Every work experience is unique. Let people know your thoughts on previous employers.
I learn how moldy any cosmetics products
Very good standard security equipment, but the place very noisy, very nice place for work. A lot of machines, every day they give you a different machine some days you have to be standup all day and some days you work sit down, a lot of repite movements collecting pieces and packaging them in boxes.
Management needs a clean up
Directors, CFO, managers, supervisors and engineers have quit when they realize what a real job should be like. Take the job if you need income, but be actively seeking. Lots of job advancement promises, and nothing. They say their working on it, and paper work takes months. Threaten to leave though, and youll have a raise that same day. I did. 5 figure raise. They knew they needed me at the time.
Pros
Free lunch during kaizen
Cons
Poor management, ego, favoritism, low pay, low benefits
hate it if it is last resort then take the job
If you are looking to get payed minimum be worked like a dog have 50 hr a week on the holiday season just so you can get laid off after or get 4 hrs a day when its not seasonal. then go for it management only want numbers and do't really care about health codes.
Pros
great hours during seasonal
Cons
feels like a sweat house for what they pay you for
The place is too hectic and stressful
It pays the bills alot of hard work and putting alot of hours and managers are unappreciated It's all favoritism in that work place it would be rare for them to take you as company.
Pros
Money is ok for minimum wage
Cons
Everything including the managers
Work Enviroment
Every morning, I would be responsible for the tasks I was given for the day. I had to make sure that I had everything I need for the day as well. At times, the tasks that needed to be done, had to done with minimal time. Management seemed to not have things prepared before hand, for the position I was in, time was everything. Most of the tasks would take a full shift to be done, to a few days, so it would unreasonable to be told the task has to be done in about 2hrs. Which would add stress, especially since it felt as if they were up to your necks about it every hr.
Hectic, paid good, some management unprofessional
I went from being a picker which means i would grab a list of an order and pick out the make up thats on an order, went from picker to a packer it was horrible communication was not able to do my job comfortably without the supervisors yelling rushing and getting Angry if our paste did not pick up! No one was able to talk, not say one word unless it was one of the employees that the supervisors or lead favored. Would make complaints forsure!
Pros
Pays awesome free lunch Friday's
Cons
Lack of communication, favoritism, rude, distracting
Quick Paced and No Job Security
The work is fairly easy once you get the hang of it. The warehouse is pretty hot so you always have to be drinking water to get hydrated. Being quick is very important. They tend to mass hire but then start letting people go when the peak season is over.
Cons
Short Lunches, No Job Security
Fun workplace
To work at Spatz making crayons, was very fun. It's like a handcrafted work. You must have ability to work with molds and thermometers.The company gives opportunities to grow with them.
Pros
very nice environment
Cons
Too much chemicals in the air and they don't give a proper mask.
