Engineers Beware

Pros

Stable industry; diverse customer base; good benefits. Close knit team of technicians. Senoia Ga location is growing and expanding.

Cons

Obsolete dilapidated automated machinery with very poor manuals and documentation; half the time troubleshooting is spent reverse-engineering 30 year vintage electronics, controls, & wiring. Dangerous environment; they had yet to control the concentration level of airborne talcum powder, so it concentrates inside of electrical panels, on top of horizontal surfaces, causing spontaneous flash fires. Production time always trumps maintenance downtime, and thus causes these dangerous situations and a technical support nightmare in literal fire fighting mode. Winpak is a conglomerate; this location was acquired and may not reflect the business sense of the parent company.

Pros

The benefits and on the job training are above par. There is plenty of work. Received good training.

Cons

The pay for everyone excluding management is horrible. Supervisors are drunks. Do not take care of maintenance on their machines. No sick time days. Not enough helpers due to the word on the street of pay.

Pros

Very good pay and benefits. Among the better in area. Good working conditions, climate controled building. Union shop!! Supervisors range from good to poor depending on dept. Has taken good care of my family for many years

Cons

Even with a Union can be a challenging place to work. Seems like almost everything is a fight. Human resources not much help. Don't assume they are there to help you. Can answer basic questions, still wonder if they're giving you correct info. From what i can gather,Winpak as a corp. is a good, fair, well run company. The current management in Pekin ? Not so sure i can make that statement. Some decisions leave you scratching you're head or down right make you angry.. I worry about their future in Pekin
