Berry Plastics Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Improvement continues."

"Working for Berry Plastics for over 7 years now as a business analyst, where I have named so much."

"I'm a Machine Tech/Material Handler, they put the extra job position on Machine Techs for cost reduction purposes. I am paid $15.10 an hour for doing my job as well as covering Supervisors and Inspector Packers and Haulers. I don't feel I'm being paid fairly, for being as flexible as I am. I am stressed out every day. It is a struggle, I never know what I'm gonna walk into every night I work. I had to actually ask for what the starting rate for my job title is and the plant manager replied with I don't know. They had to call corporate to find what the starting rate for my job was supposed to be.They said the pay was $15.00 an hour starting. I was only making 14 and some change doing this for about a year.They chose to pay me $15.10 an hour and was told no retro pay, was not necessary cause the extra 10 cents on my 15 an hour starting pay was good enough, is this wrong?"

"Outstanding company to work for with potential for career advancement."

"I have been with berry plastics (formally captive plastics) for 23 years. Night shift supervisor for 8 years. Responsible for the entire plant."

"Very Little appreciation for the work and effort, very negative work atmosphere."

"I have worked there since August of 2012 and I have not seen any movement to upgrade or automate and still using PLC 2 which are about 35 years old. They treat people like they were machines, not human beings. The morale is low and people quit left and right. They do have a high turnover ratio and therefore the remaining people are forced to work twice as hard."

"Since Berry bought this plant employee morale is at an all time low. Eliminating bonuses, forcing them to work holidays such as Christmas. Management always interfering with your work. It became a terrible place to work."

"Great roles, poor environment to succeed. Extremely political"
