AGI - Ag Growth International

10hr shifts M-F mandatory. Mandatory Saturday shifts (6hr shift) . Poor,unsafe, work conditions, 100+ temperatures throughout facility. Two 10 minute breaks and 1 45 minute lunch. Very poor management, company culture is poor,  company management has very little integrity, respect, or care about employee safety or work/life balance. Communication is very poor. Many times we have worked without any communication of what needs to be done. Management has strong history of spending money on useless, poorly conceived, “ideas” that ultimately lead in failure. Management doesn’t listen to feedback from employees regarding processes that ultimately lead to more failures. Management doesn’t accept responsibility for ill conceived decisions and  shifts blame to employees. There is evidence of clear workplace bullying from management towards employees.

Lots of cross training, usually without a raise.
Manager likes to be in direct control of everything, very little mitigation or trust in lower leaders.
A lot of the people are nice and helpful, but the training is very underwhelming, lots of just being placed in a new role without much help or guidance. 
Pay and benefits are good, pto accumulates fast.
Leads do a good job of getting to know their crew and their needs but are met with much resistance from supervisor and manager.
Low tolerance for mistakes or real life issues. Very hard to get help if you need it. Tough times aren’t met with understanding or compassion. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
AGI fosters a great work culture. Most of the time, the voices are heard and cared for. Great team building throughout and very nice people.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management. Senior leadership is one of the most appalling segments of the company. The decisions taken makes you think if some of them even understand the purpose of the company.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is great and culture is awesome. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Interact with lot of people inside and outside the organization, design and develop systems.

It's a great company to work for but they need better benefits and wages.I have learned how to do reducers and wet brakes. The hardest part of my job is getting up at 330 am every morning and driving an hour and half to and from work. We got great co- workers but needs better management. The most enjoyable part of my job is working by myself.

I had the opportunity to start my professional career with Union Iron and have gained a great deal of experience over the past three years. I was recently let go due to a "workforce reduction". The company, over the past year, has endured tough times and senior management have been forced to make tough business decisions. I personally and professionally thank Union Iron and the individuals who played a huge role in my hiring, duration of employment and those who have been willing to help post employment with the company. I wish Union Iron future success and have hopes of the company's turn around.

There has historically been a great deal of turnover in employees due to unclear direction. The atmosphere is usually laid back with the insecure feeling that at any minute something drastic is going to happen.
The hardest part of the job was trying to understand how best to do my job because I was not included in key meetings nor was information imparted to me that would create a better understanding. Communication to each party or department was not a strong suite.

Working at Intellifarms is much like working for most production jobs. It's hit or miss with management as well as coworkers. They can't find good workers and when they do they don't last. The people you have to work with/around are the worst part of the job. It's typical 40hr work weeks until the summer where there is OT. The work isn't difficult, anybody could learn it, but it does get repetitive. I learned some technical skills. They offer health benefits but you have to pay for them. They don't pay what most companies pay for this type of role.

For a company of this size and the profits being made each month, all of the hourly people are well underpaid. It appears that most of the management takes care of their people in the management arena but where the real work is being done, we are overlooked and the that is why there is a high turnover rate among the hourly which is 75% of engineering.

The manager I worked under was the WORST manager I have ever worked for. No idea how to lead or motivate a team. Micromanaged and demeaned subordinates. Has the I’m right, you’re wrong type of approach most often in situation where  there is a disagreement or question of process. 

Really enjoyed working with junge control , Great original owners ,and some of the employees ,the work was not hard not complicated pay was minimal . Production management sometimes made it more complicated than it really was.Jobs sometimes performed , we're not reflective  of pay scale for jobs done as in electrical ,painting and building maintenance/.. I worked there for 3 years start  pay $10  hour and left at 11:30  hour..
