Solid start, but career path can be tough
I worked as a Production Scheduler for MCC Label in Cincinnati, Ohio. It's a large corporate manufacturing company. The day-to-day for this onsite position was okay, but I felt really stuck when it came to career growth in the label printing industry.
The job security is pretty good for manufacturing roles. You learn a lot if you're new to the packaging solutions sector. Starting pay and benefits were decent for a Production Scheduler position.
Career growth is definitely a challenge here. There aren't many clear paths to move up past a certain point. Promotions within the Cincinnati, Ohio plant feel slow and often go to external hires.
Management should really look into developing clearer internal promotion programs. Invest in employee development for those in production and scheduling roles. This would help with retention.
