Arconas Corporation

What is the best part of working at the company?
I cannot think of anything positive to say about working there. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is no accountability in any areas of the company.  Managers have not had any training in how to lead and manage employees to bring out the best in them.  They lead by force and intimidation.  Most of upper management has been there too long.  They continue to operate as companies did 50 years ago. They have not adopted modern practices and ideologies for a corporate environment, and it shows in how employees are treated.  
Upper management tends to be very unprofessional regarding confidentiality, including the Director of HR, which is concerning.  They tend operate with minimal staff, which means that even though they claim to promote a healthy work/life balance, employees will not be considered for promotions unless they consistently work beyond their scheduled hours, to prove their dedication to the company.  Overall, it’s a very toxic environment. No one should work here unless they have no other choice, and doing so should only be a stepping stone to their next career opportunity. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic.  A very negative environment. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful. It’s not a good environment to have to go to every day.  You feel like you constantly need to ensure you cover your back, because you never know who or when someone will try to blame you for something, or talk badly behind your back.

THIS IS A VERY HONEST REVIEW - APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Typical day at Arconas: You will sit at your desk with no real direction on what you need to do or how you will get there to be successful.

What I learned: Counting seats, looking at floor plans & coloring the floor plans with highlighters through trial and error. Management provided very little direction in the procedure. 

The culture of the company: Everyone talks behind your back, from management to the next department. It seems people don't enjoy their jobs and feel they need to bring you down to their level.

The hardest part of the job: Essentially management taking over your projects without true direction as well as the lack of training, specially if you are new to the industry. (SO BEWARE)

What I enjoyed: the travel & trade shows (exciting market segment)

Salary: was OK based on what you essentially do on a daily basis, which to be honest was not much! - if you enjoy a slow pace job with lack of everything this is definitely for you!

Work Environment: Terrible. There are a lot of "Debbie downers" at the office, people will make you feel you are not part of a team.

Career Risk: They should be in the business of selling revolving doors considering the high turn over rate, they excel at this!

Arconas is a small sized manufacturer for public seating. Work is classified into production and shipping. The day starts at 7:30am and ends at 4pm with two 15 min breaks at 10am and 2pm and a 30 min lunch at 12pm. My primary job was the runner in charge of moving out products and bringing in raw material from shipping. For this job, I learned how to multitask and keep a record of incoming materials and outgoing products. Management is wonderful and capable (under production) but some supervisors can be unreasonable (management for shipping). Most co-workers are great people that are fun to be around, respectful and hardworking although there's the odd person that slacks off and just makes boxes. The most difficult part of the job would be keeping up with production during busy days with some people being absent. The most enjoyable part is when I found a work rhythm that made the tasks easier.

As a former CSR  I am being honest when I say that you will not be happy here, besides the neverending interview process they implement, once you get in; the environment is toxic almost high school bullying type environment.  They like to use "scare tactics" i.e.threatening your job almost daily.  Very high turnover!   There are some nice people here though that unfortunately do not work with or in the CSR dept. so it doesn't help you at all.  A lot of people here seem to share a dislike at this company as well.

for the most part you get some orders to pick in the morning and you can take it easy picking the orders but just at a good pace.
some coworkers like to joke often which is why I think it's a good environment to work in and it helps brighten your day when you get along with your coworkers.
management is pretty good as long as you can show improvements as you work over a long time and not fluctuate with your improvements


You will regret working here.
Cheap company
Bad management
Disorganized
Low salary with little perks/benefits
No job security (very high turnover).

Start the day with a list of orders to complete . Independent work until break, followed by receiving raw materials followed by loading good materials until lunch. Then last order picking for the day followed by shipping area clean up.

Laid-off due to COVID-19, and decline in the business.Otherwise, I enjoyed working here. I would recommend it’s great place to learn. Good and friendly co-workers. Great management!

Interaction with management, customers, suppliers, AR and AP functions etc. Most challenging part of the job was figuring out which task to do next there were too many areas to focus on.

You can do your work well, work for the company for years. Be the perfect employee, get along with everyone. Senior managers do not have your back, don't expect much from them
