Silgan Containers Reviews

Extremely stressful place to work. No parts to fix any machines, not even bolts. More time is spent on searching for parts that we do not have. Hard to breathe many times inside plant. Constantly exposed to toxic fumes and upper management plays dumb when it is brought up. Silgan in Edison cannot even keep an HR rep hired. It is no wonder when you deal with the upper management like they have here. They have meetings about issues brought up on this site yet all we get is the email address for the plant manager...gee...thanks. I could rather submit a complaint to animal excrement and would get better results. Complaints fall on deaf ears and this place is sinking fast. Recent upgrades = Less production and working every holiday. Forcing good employees to look for careers elsewhere. Constantly running understaffed and forcing employees in on holidays. Extremely HOT in summer time and very cold in winter. Employees are punished for upper management mishaps. No incentive to give 100% each day. Broken heater/AC in breakroom more than it actually works. Locker rooms and bathrooms stink like you know what and bathrooms are rarely cleaned and kept up....and the locker rooms are NEVER cleaned. I'll stay away thanks.

HELP!! Upper management will avoid eye contact with employees and never even say a simple "hello". Though they have never been mechanics the really seem to know everything, and yet the place is getting worse and worse every day. Plant manager will throw things in fits of rage, unable to speak with due to disconnect with regular employees. Have never witness a place with such low moral among regular hourly employees. There does not seem to be much hope for this place, sad to say. Management wants the place the run but refuses to provide simple parts to keep machines running, let alone fix something that is broken. They want more and more product and add more and more work but refuse to provide enough staff to keep up with the work load. There is ZERO incentive to go the extra mile. Employees are never rewarded and are constantly being berated by upper management. We are only numbers! Training is NON EXISTANT. You are thrown to the wolves and expected to learn on your own. It is extremely hot in the summer months and EXTREMELY COLD in the winter time. Be prepared to be forced in on holidays and work lots of overtime.
