Pros

I really am unable to think of any!

Cons

I made the huge mistake of leaving my previous company to take an opportunity at APC Packaging. This was probably the worst mistake of my professional career. Extreme micro-management and the owners are incredibly disrespectful and critical. Their training program is extremely under- developed so if you don't come from a packaging background good luck! Just an overall unpleasant experience and horrible fit for me!

Pros

I don`t have words about Pros.

Cons

1, This company has no professional training program, They assigned a "manager" to give lessons, but the person was not really teaching, because the person worried if you learn enough, you might be a threat to her/him. They leave you in a blank spot and don`t let you learn from real projects. 2. It doesn't have professional management. The company is full of gossips. From owners and employees, there are many small groups. You will feel be excluded. 3, This company doesn`t have enough space for you to grow. The levels are just sales, sales/project manager/director, then owner. 4, They have double standards, that they don`t allow you to make one mistake, or you will be fired, but they make a lot of mistakes, which is ridiculous. I don`t recommend this company. Don`t waste your time and intelligence.

We appreciate your feedback. At APC Packaging, we strive to provide a positive workplace culture and take your comments and suggestions seriously when shaping company policy. During the initial training or probation period, we understand that mistakes will be made and that candidates will learn from them. At APC Packaging, we do hold high standards with all of our employees since quality control is very important to our customers. When it comes to hiring decisions, it depends on culture fit and learning skills. We agree that a structured new employee onboarding program is very important to our employee and company growth. In 2021, APC Packaging developed and rolled out the “APC University” which includes training documents and videos to cover all processes and departments. We are continuously expanding and improving our training and onboarding programs. There are growth opportunities available at APC Packaging. As we grow and expand our team, we always look from within to promote before searching externally for new candidates. I also agree that we don’t have the many levels of management which is what makes us different from the rest. We focus on teamwork and collaboration. We wish you well on your career path.
