Color Ad Packaging

12 hour shifts that rotate from evenings to graveyard shift that the employee has no control over and you will have management threaten your job if you cannot comply. I worked at color ad for almost 6 months and when they did implement shift changes it was done on a 48 hour notice (not good if you have a family) Management and supervisors are very rude and do not know how to properly engage employees so that work is done to a satisfactory rate. The only good thing about this place is they give paid breaks. I tried numerous times to expand my knowledge within the company so I could be a more versatile asset but was shot down everytime which made this feel like a dead end job. Glad I left and moved on to better things. Dont expect to go very far here, unless your willing to get down on your hands and knees and kiss the bosses "you know what"

Terrible and rude management.
No proper shifts and worst 12 hours shifts without getting paid for overtime after 8 hours. They change the shifts whenever they want without asking from you. They will just let you know of the schedule and for them work is the only thing that must be your priority setting aside all other matters including your family.
If you ask for a raise or change in shift, you are more than welcome to leave the job immediately and your manager will be the one recommending you to leave. They don't even show you any respect so don't expect anything good in this place.
Overall there are so many families working in the company and won't let you learn or succeed most of the time.
Don't work here until or unless you have no other option. The only thing good here is paid breaks and good co-workers and believe me you will witness the worst ever management system here.

While working at Color Ad I had many responsibilities such as inspecting product for imperfections and reporting it to operators and supervisors to fix the issues. A typical day at Color Ad would consist of receiving information from the previous shifts, and finding out what if any priorities were needed for the day. I would then start my checks by going onto to the production floor and starting the job. The transferring of information between shifts was very important. I enjoyed the people that I worked with they were always helpful. The hardest part of the job was walking the production floor in my steel toe shoes. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to work at my own pace. In the 10 months there I have learned to operate new types of machines that measure the strength of glues that were used on the product.

Was hired as a shift manager. I was one of the nice ones. The upper management.... total tyrants. I was hired then just over a month walked out the door with 140 other employees no reason given. They look to go on sprees.Hire when they need it then walk everyone out the door. when its slow. Management has no respect for employees. My direct reporting manager even walked me through how he likes to come in and spy on the employees from the upstairs maintenance area. Same person put in web cams to watch employees to see who is:"not working" . All I can say is if you need a job goto a fast food place you'll get treated better.

Job security is 0% at this place. they will wake up one day and decide the smallest mistake is worth terminating your employment over, regardless of your years of service and many sacrifices you made for the company. You are most definitely expendable and more so, if you are higher up. Good luck advancing in this company, though. They tend to hire from outside the company for supervisor and above positions. Lots of family relations within the company as well, that are most certainly favored above all. My only regret was not expecting to lose my job like so many before me at this workplace.

No proper training for machine operators. Once hired they’ll have you shadow another operator and thats about the only training you’re going to get. Machines are poorly maintained and not cleaned regularly. A lot of families are within the company. Not enough machine operators so understaffed due to the high turnover rate. If you decline OT, good luck, they’re already looking for your replacement. They’ll say safety is priority but they will also tell you to tilt a big and glue tote towards you to empty out the remaining glue. Not very safe. I don’t recommend anyone to work here for more than a year. 

Don’t work for this company if you value your mental health. Management is a gong show. Machines have a minimum run speed that they want (not always possible). Your machine goes down before you go for break? Guess you’re starved. Machines are never kept clean. FLIES are everywhere. You will see them flying around and some even dead in the glue pots of the machines. They tell you this place is a no blame environment but as soon as they get the chance to point the blame on you, you’re getting written up for something the previous shift had done. 

I would not recommend this as a career job, they don't treat employees with as much respect as they should and don't make you feel appreciated for all the hard work you put in. with "mandatory" overtime and changing shifts from rotating every 2 weeks too continental when ever they see fit and with no notice and changing shift length from 8 hours to 12 when ever they need extra work done. The best part of the job is the fellow employees that are friendly and will help when ever they can.

Probably the worst company i have ever worked for. All of the employees are friendly however the management is terrible. They dont try and solve issues. They just blame and point the finger at each other. They force overtime . Everone is scared to speak up for fear of being fired. And the printing manager is the worst manager they have ever had. He is a arrogant person who only cares about himself and advancing. Definition of a boss not a leader.

Being with the company for a couple years and feel as if I’ve been trampled on. In all honesty it’s a good place to work “set aside the terrible management” the higher ups in the company are very friendly and approachable and treat you as if you’re family. 
Over time is always there if you want it
Friendly staff in all departments.

Work hard and you’ll get noticed here.

Learn a lot and it doesn’t get you anywhere.
