Good starting point - Human Resources Manager Summit Polymers Employee Review

Pros

Started my career in HR there and it set me up well to advance and move on. I learned a little about every aspect of HR. Summit has processes and procedures very well organized and detailed, making it easier to learn.

Cons

No employee recognition; internal advancement poor (especially for production employees); everyone is "disposable"; pay for the lower level salary positions is very poor and increases are never more than 3%. Certain production/floor positions make more than many salary employees (salary employees who had to have a 4 year degree to get hired).

With our Talent Management program, in the1st half of 2016, 71% of our Manager/Supervisor openings were filled by internal applicants. Journeyman skilled trades (maintenance, tooling, automation) technicians do make higher pay than entry-level salary positions. We are working diligently to improve Summit as a place to work. Salary turnover has trended down substantially since 2013 in spite of a tight labor market.

Pros

The pay is OK. There are some good people employed here. Decent benefits. 401k. Pto Vacation after 1 yr Yearly raises for the first 5 yrs.

Cons

Poor management. No work, home balance, they expect you to live at work. The 401k is forced, you can not decline it. Best believe, this company doesn't care about employees. No communication from the top down. Something will change and you won't be notified til you've done it the previous way and get in trouble. Point system is horrendous, it takes 2 months perfect attendance to get 1 point back. Pto is hard to use. Gets denied often. Even with plenty of notice.
