I’ve worked at Cpk for almost three years now. I thought it was okay when I joined but in all reality it’s a terrible place to work. You’ll be making below the poverty line amount of money until you’ve put in 7 years of being a full time employee(16.20 starting 16.20 once full time and a dollar raise every year for a year anniversary of being full time up to a maximum of 23.20$ a hour at full rate), And who knows when you’ll become full time they say 8 months until you’re eligible. as a tpt you call in sick, come to work late, or do anything they could view as bad behaviour and add another year into your waiting time for being hired. They’ll fire you for no reason and there’s a lot of corruption from mangement and the supervisors. Example, the afternoon shift superintendent is dating a line worker. The human recourses department will make no accommodations for anyone. Example, there was a full time employee on the afternoon shift who was having a baby and wanted a week off to spend with his wife and new born. HR told him he had to bring in proof of birth or they would count his PERVIOISLY APPROVED leave of absence as his emergency days (you only get ten a year). Or another example a employee on day shift had to bring in proof of her deceased father to get only three days off of work for his funeral service. And another example a employee on the afternoon shift had talked to a couple supervisors and got the okay to possible come in late once or twice a month to accommodate being a student while working full time. This employee the. Took the information to the hr department where they had denied doing that for him as they couldn’t do that for him because of “man power issues”. If you want to be screwed around and have no life working here as you have to work mandatory saturdays be my guest. considering the pay advancement is little to none, there’s corruption throughout the company, and there’s been a employee who nearly died falling down some stairs and nobody was told about it in the factory, id suggest you find somewhere else to work. Oh and icing on the cake you want more than one week of vacation? You have to work here for 19 years.

This is a good job, thats what I thought when I started. I was a TPT (Temporary Part time worker) for two years without getting hired. So prepare for that to happen at any time. I've seen people hired on after a month, four months, ten months, three years. It all depends on whether management is willing to fork out the money to provide the proper amount of employees for the jobs. I liked working for the people on the floor, the people doing the dirty work every day, who see how amazingly hard everyone works all day and recognize how hard the jobs can be. You will never be appreciated by management, HR, or any of the bosses because there is such a tree of people who are all answering to higher people and dont want to lose their jobs. This place hasn't changed over the last four years, in fact, its gotten worse. I worked hard six days a week for four years, been injured and on light duty four times due to the management cutting more and more positions to save money and make their bonuses. They ignore safety concerns that cost them too much money and focus on how they APPEAR to the auditors that come every year.

Start as a temp part time employee. Which means not much. Was working 48 hrs per week from the beginning. No rights, have to have proof for any missed time. Good luck getting time off for anything. HR is a joke, rarely anyone in there and they're all specialists. Which means they only know one part of hr. Takes weeks to months for management to get back to you. Safety is questionable. People just walk where they want and don't look for material handlers. No appreciation given to employees for working mandatory 6 day work weeks. Start on afternoons and good luck getting off them. Union shop so everything goes by seniority.
If you speak up and try to get anything improved. You become a target and management will do thier best to make life even worse. Write ups threats to suspend you. If you have no other choice. Work here till mcdonalds is hiring. Definitely not a place to make a career. Was the worst shop I've ever worked in. People you work with are nice. But that's it. Not worth the money or how little time you'll get to spend with family. Would give - 5 stars if I could. Chronically short people and when they do actually get people hired maybe last a week or less.

This place is among one of the most toxic work environments I've ever worked in. There is rampant harassment with little to no accountability.  You will work mandatory six days a week for ten months of the year or more, with no chance of ever making it to the day shift. Also you will receive next to no training on any of the equipment you are expected to fix, and suggestions to improve equipment or processes often fall on deaf ears. This means you will have to fix the same problems over and over. 

The management has been a revolving door, so there is no real long term sense of direction. There is zero respect given to the trades. The current Maintenance manager is book smart, but doesn't know how to run a shop, earn respect or tell you the truth; but that is just symptomatic of the rot that goes to the very top of the chain of command in this place. 

That being said, many of the floor workers are among the nicest people I have ever met, but from a trades perspective, I would stay far, far away. Unless you are very desperate I would keep looking elsewhere. The below market pay is not worth the day to day stress. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing everyone in management is awful and if your getting harassed at work they won’t even try to solve the problem they will just lie and say you were asking for it

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The constant fear that the registered sa offenders that they continue to hire will grab you and no one will do anything about it

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is awful and everything is your fault even if you have no control over it

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Show up and they make it your problem that the shift before you didn’t finish their job and then get yelled at that stuff isn’t getting done fast enough even though you are running the machine at max speed and there is no way to go faster or they think your too fast and get put on 3 different jobs at once because they would rather you do the job of 3 people instead of having others do their job properly

The people were wonderful, and the department supervisors were some of the nicest people I've ever come to know. They wanted you to do well and treated you very well as long as you worked decently. Upper management would sometimes make some weird decisions without consulting the department supervisors, which often caused some frustration by everyone.

If you're looking to make a career here, look elsewhere. Aside from the fact that most of this work can, and probably will, be automated in the coming years, advancement is slim. You'll be stuck as "temporary/part-time" for years on end, and have to wait for a full time to retire before being made full time. This means you're not technically union (or something along those lines) and you won't have the same options open to you as you would if you were full time. For instance, taking a day off sick as a T/PT is looked down on, and too many would likely get you fired. That said, I never had any issues dealing with HR when asking for time off, or clarification on something.

Working at cpk over the last two decades in the maintenance department has been a good experience overall . I’ve worked steady afternoons mostly and the company accommodated my needs for my daughters school functions and working with my manager, was able to secure time off when I needed it. 
 There is a diverse array of equipment in the facility and many challenging opportunities to learn and grow. The company paid for my schooling upgrades both for the courses and my time. I suppose if you go there expecting something for nothing and a coddling work environment then it may not be for you. I feel if you know your trade and want to expand your knowledge with some interesting projects then this is a good place to work.
  As for on the job training , it has been very good .I’ve worked with all the different trades and they are willing to help and show you the equipment if you approach them with a good work ethic and a desire to learn . 

It's a factory job. I am a Temporary Part Time. Work ranges from easy to gruelling depending where you get put. Co-workers are very friendly for the most part, and so are the higher-ups (with some exceptions). Work is 8 hours a day, 5-6 days a week (often 6). Yes, you read it correctly: work is often 6 days a week with Saturdays being MANDATORYovertime. However, you start at $14.40/hour it takes 6 years to reach full-pay. On the plus side, every hour past 40 work hours in a week gets you payed time-and-a-half (e.g. you get $21.60/hour for 8 of the 48 hours you work in a week if your normal wage is $14.40/hour; this applies for ANY wage) You always start out at the bottom of the seniority list and work your way up. You'll have to really work hard to progress, but that is to be expected. Work hard, be respectful, and you'll be able to stay here a long time.

You will be trained to do one station, most likely the hardest one they think your capable of and make you do it for 8 hours until you can do it alone then start another station. All well The full time people do all the easy jobs and get paid twice as much. There ad on indeed is misleading as well it makes it seem like there is a chance you will get hired full time, well there is a waiting list of up to over a year so they just use you until your hurt or sick of wasting every Saturday then fire you or wait till you quit, turn around rate would probably be a good 80 percent.TPTs work 48 hours a week but are considered part time, No booking time off. No room for advancement either Team leads gets 25 cents more then regular full-time. The people are what make the place enjoyable never have i met a good group of people, there is little to no bullying or harassment as far as i have witnessed.
