Press Operator Reviews
What is it like working as a Press Operator?
August 2019
Life as an operator.
Press Operator in Spokane:
Pros: I enjoy working my press i am comfortable knowing how to operate, inspect and assemble parts, mixing material, filling barrels with correct material, filling totes and putting boxes of product in storage.
Cons: The original owner sold over 50% of his company and the new co-owners have made drastic changes. Taking away the yearly review raises percentages and made it an earn raises only. For us press operators in injection molding will get little to nothing because we are only allowed to do certain jobs. Anything higher requires training and acceptance from upper management for that positions training. And for those of us that want to remain an operator get the shaft come yearly review time.

December 2018
Press Operator:
It used to be a good company to work for, but about 6 years ago they hired a new plant manager, and he fired the 6 guys that worked in management for 20-30 years who knew what they were doing, and installed about 20 of his own people, who didn't have a clue. When you try to explain it to them, they ignore you and force you to do it their way, which loses time and production, which they then hold you responsible for. I like the actual job, it was difficult learning the Littell machine and the coater press, but I did learn it well. I made good numbers and no rejects, but once my supervisor on second shift retired, the first shift supervisor Louis Partite told him he would get me off the coater, and after 3 years he figured out a way to do it. He wanted one of his shift guys to get my spot. I made the mistake of not going to the union and fighting for my job, because after he did that, I was constantly hassled by the new second shift supervisor, who was hired on Lou's recommendation. One night he came out of the dark in the parking lot as I was taking a break, and accused me of being impared and sent me home. I was not impared, but it was enough to get me fired. I was cheated out of a job I worked hard to learn how to do well, all to have it stolen from me for no good reason. They even gave me a review about 6 weeks before they took me off the coater, and I passed.
There is no coordination between shifts, everyone is on a different page in management. They tend to stick work on
