Inland Reviews

Pros

Competitive pay, benefits and hours

Cons

Poor communication and no room for advancement

Pros

there are some good people working at Inland.

Cons

Employees need to feel valued, inspired and appreciated. High turnover shows a LOT of work is needed in this area. there’s micro management running rampant. These upper managers/directors know nothing about the business. They aren’t respected. They obtained their jobs through “personal “ relationships (if you know what I mean) Don’t make the same mistake I did. Look for a properly run “family” business.

Advice to Management

the company refers to itself as a "family" business. Just look at the high turnover which says something entirely different.

Tough to communicate to management

Pros

Great place to work if you have been there for 20+ years. If your not then you are not treated the same. Different standards depending on who you are.

Cons

Management has a different set of rules for each person. Disiplines are not carried out equally.

Advice to Management

Treat all employees according to the guidlines Inland has in their handbook.

Pros

Inland's headquarters is located in beautiful la Crosse wi.

Cons

Management uses manipulation to accomplish their goals without regard to the impact on plant personel. Every cost cutting opportunity is pursued in the name of lean manufacturing. I personally experienced lying and fear tactics used by my manager. The HR department is so distant from what happens behind closed doors.

Advice to Management

Inland's management needs a cultural reform that will change their view of people as "bodies" to instead the most valuable assets (pillars) of the company.

Pros

Inland is a very easy company to work for. Very little stress and people here are genuinely happy. The company is growing rapidly and it's been really fun & exciting to be able to grow with them. I am so glad I made the move to come here after 28 years with another flexible packaging company. Your opinion is greatly valued here which is a really nice feeling. I would highly recommend this employer to anyone who... is thinking of applying here.

Cons

I haven't run into anything I would consider a con. For me I have to drive a little further than I did for my previous job but it's worth it.

Advice to Management

No advice really. My experience with Management has been very pleasant. My Manager is always there if we need her help or if we have any questions but she allows us to work independently.

Pros

Promotions from within the company, cell phone stipend for those it's relevant to, flexibility with work/life balance, and quarterly meetings from senior management that update you on company performance.

Cons

No HR onsite, questions to HR will be ignored or go unanswered for days, practice of favoritism is too visible, legacy management of previous company that Inland acquired still remains which decreases potential efficiency. Nepotism is rampant and will frustrate you if you hate laziness

Advice to Management

Start fresh at the PA plant with new head figures. Evaluate the performances of supervisors with more scrutiny. Continue listening to lower ranking employees, especially production. Stop ignoring warning signs multiple employees give to you about certain onsite managerial practices that in other companies would result in dismissals.
