"It's a tasking job being a machine operator, you need to pay attention to details, be safe, focus on the attributes necessary for the specific product you produce, such as quality. Being a machine operator is often monotonous, but you have to focus on always improving, each and every day. It's not as glamorous as being an accountant, but it works."

What don't you like about working at GTM Plastics?

"I dont like how the place is being operated in general! From the pay, to not much help around, to full timers not wanting to come in because we get overworked, down to the machines always producing bad parts but we get fussed at, at times, down to the place needing more space in the warehouse, better machines, and leaders who act like they want to be there and do their job. Oh, and a cleaner workplace."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would make sure I lend an ear to my operators, do what I say and not lie to them, make their pay worth it, acknowledge the operators and let them know their performance. I would make sure I find time to have the work place and warehouse clean. I would stop blaming my operators for parts that are produced bad. Make sure my floor leaders get the help they need and are trained correctly. Also, make sure each shift is treated equally."

Machine Operator at Valley Extrusions
in Allentown, PA

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"They lure you with promises, then break every one."

What do you like about working at Valley Extrusions?

"The co-workers were kind and helpful and we all banded together to make the best of the misery that was Valley Extrusions."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Run... Run away as fast as you can. If you've already interviewed, when they offer you a position, which they almost always do (because of the high turnover) get everything they promise you in writing and have it signed by a witness."

What don't you like about working at Valley Extrusions?

"There is favoritism to those that get drunk with the plant manager. The Engineering dept manager will not hire anyone that may have more skills than he. The Maintenance Supervisor does absolutely nothing and collects 6 figures because he went to high school with the owner."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Stop promising a great future and wages ,only to cut wages and hours after 6 months. This is Valley's MO and it is the same with everyone... unless you drink with management or golf. I don't drink or golf, so my $47k a year was dropped to $15/hr because of low sales volume. Then they cut our hours to 32 per week, promising things would be back to normal in 6 months. After 2 years, things only got worse and the Management got bonuses."
