A typical day would be a fast paced one. Our goal was to hit rate on the machines we were scheduled to run, so my job as material handler was to make sure the production lines and single machines were supplied with work.

I also learned to operate several different types of forklifts from motorized skid movers, to stand up forklifts, to the sit down turret trucks used in our high-bay warehouse. The entire staff was dedicated to getting the job done quickly and safely. My co-workers were some of the best people I knew. – less

The executives need to stop protecting managers who don't understand their jobs and can't manage their associates.

This was my first manufacturing job. Manufacturing is hard work. The hardest part of my job was the 6am -6pm shifts. But i did enjoy learning something new, and tried to strive for the best numbers of the day.

Spend a great amount of time at work, very repetive, great coworkers, great amount of walking, management not so great

I learned the corporate business world and the matrix that structures it.

My experience at Acco was a pretty good one. The job was steady work and the work was easy. The days were long and the pay was not that great but i was able to keep what i needed paid for.

The company prides itself on the practices of Lean/Six Sigma prinicpals. They also encourage career development and keep up with improved talent development. They offer generous benefits and company perks.

I was only a temp, but everyone was so helpful. Very nice place to work

Good job. Ok environment. Pay was terrible for distance traveled and being a union job.
