Bemis Manufacturing Reviews

Pros

I’ve worked at Bemis for several years. During my orientation on my first day, they encouraged us to let them know if we wanted to grow and develop. Well, they meant it! I was never much for school but with some encouragement, I signed up for classes at LTC and eventually earned my degree. The company helped pay for school and book and also worked with me when I had a schedule conflict between work and school. I get to apply what I learned every day and I couldn’t be happier. Managers try to help employees I feel like they want my opinion and that they listen to what I have to say, even though sometimes they may not like what they hear :)

Cons

Communication can always be better, but they are working to improve it by bringing back roundtable meetings with the factory employees and doing a better job of posting things where people will actually see it!

Pros

Culture and work life balance. Genuinely cares for its employees, the community and the environment.

Cons

Very capital intense business, which makes it hard to work through economic slow downs.

Pros

Benefits package includes dental, health 401k Casual work attire No skills needed (mostly) Mediocre pay Some nice people Not far from Sheboygan

Cons

Management, most people who made their way did so involving using others There's no promotions unless you're looking to take on a lot more work Saturdays are always forced Union dues (the Union doesn't really do anything for you) Mediocre pay Constantly being chided and directed by coworkers who have survived management and care only for their survival

Pros

It is a good company to work for.

Cons

No important issue to report.

Pros

Easy to learn job and decent pay

Cons

The building is hot in the summer

Pros

Privately-owned Diverse product lines - but this benefits management more than associates. Only rarely are resources from one group utilized in another if the former division is slow or is sold off.

Cons

1930s Culture. Top-level management repeatedly states that they expect long hours and associate long hours with dedication. Positions that could be entirely remote or hybrid are demanded to be in the office. Valued associates who leave to enjoy work at places offering a better work/life balance are difficult to replace and it isn't unheard of for it to take a year or more to replace people. CEO is absentee. In spite of Bemis being somewhat rinkydink in size compared to local competitors, the CEO is never seen among the workers. In the 3 years he's been here, I have honestly never seen him except in quarterly web addresses to the company where he graciously takes the time to remind associates that Bemis is not all interested in becoming a better place to work.

Pros

Loads of opportunities to develop within the company

Cons

Poor leadership and salary was not reflective of the expectations

Pros

With the latest contract…I cannot think of any.

Cons

Again, with the latest contract, they proved they DO NOT appreciate their employees. I will never recommend this place to anyone until things change.

Pros

Good stability WFH Monday-Friday average hours

Cons

No chance for progression in the company. Management

Pros

flexibility, company cares, benefits, investments in the plant

Cons

on your feet most of the day
