This job is really what you make of it. You usually start on either Debone or DSI. Those are floor production positions, which are fast paced. Those areas are easy to learn. Advancement is easy. You can get promoted by bidding for jobs on the job board. Attendance is one of the main things looked at when bidding on jobs. Line work pays ok and the work day goes by quickly. There are many other positions all of them have their own pros and cons.

The culture at the work place tends to be kind of like being on a school campus. That is my best way of describing it. Most of the people are friendly.

The job can seem hard and make you feel sore... but after a few weeks your body will get used to it. My first week I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to keep up. I was placed on a fast paced line, but I quickly got used to it.

In my experience the management was very good. They listen and respond to concerns.

I know of a lot of people that come to work here and they usually fit into a few categories. 1.They come work for a while and leave, because they don't like the fast paced work. 2. They come work and stay, and they are happy in their positions. 3. They come stay and bid on jobs. The last group usually stay for a long time and end up making a career at the plant.

This particular company's professional level is great. You will always have an opportunity to advance and get overtime. The only thing that you should watch out for is the drama between employees. A lot of employees like to bring their personal lives into the professional work place. As far as production goes, everything is completed at a timely manner. Sometimes production runs over but that is normal. The workplace is always busy because you have so many different people doing so  many different jobs and from a distance it looks like a lot but it really isn't. Do not be alarmed a regular day at the plant is tiring but it can be really fun once you meet new people and develop new acquaintances. The hardest part of the job is standing for nine hours and sometimes more than that. The best part of the job is the fact that you get to see what goes into the production of the foods that you enjoy everyday. What I have learned by working here is that time is everything, you cant get that back and the only thing that you can do is try to do your best but do it in the allotted time. Another thing that I have learned is, keep calm and just focus on what is important and that is doing your job.

A typical day at work wouls be coming in inspecting the line and setting it up so we could get the day started.I learned that everyone has a different personality so you have to adjust to compliment each individual person. The management was great you could always talk to them if you had a problem or something was going on. The co-workers was okay at times but everybody has there days so you deal with what is thrown at you and keep pressing your way.The hardest part of the job would have to be trying to please everyone and make everyone happy. Some days you would just have to listen to them and just be there if they needed you. Some times that is all a person needs is someone to lkisten to them.The best part of the job was getting paid on Friday.

Mondays at Alatrade Foods are very challenging. I have to make sure applications are keyed in properly, complete water meter spreadsheet, check the call-out log, answer calls, and schedule applicants for interviews. I have learned that even though it's a crazy Monday make it your best Monday. I make sure that I'm not stressed and overwhelmed. I'm part of the management team in Human Resources. Everyday we learn something new and have awesome teamwork. I do majority of multi tasking because I have at least ten task on my desk to complete. I love when I have to plan for different events, take part of creating ideas, and making sure the applicants are eligible to work.

A day at Alatrade Foods for me starts off very good. I always go to work with a positive attitude, throughout the day I get frustrated with some of the people I'm working with but, I still maijntain a positive attitude. During my time at this Poultry Plant I have learn how to cope with different individuals an also how to manage an maintain an adequate assembly line. The hardesrt part of my job is dealing with the machines when they break down, I have to develop a way to keep my assigned line running. The most enjoyable part of my day at Alatrade is having a successful an positive day with all of my co-workers.

Very stressful work days. Its very difficult to learn anything, the job training is horrible. Some of the upper management are professional but many are not. Some of the team leads are horrible leaders. They know the job well but when it comes to respect for others there's none there. Its seems almost like they're allowed to oppress their own team members. When you get to work you're a muscle, that's the work culture. The hardest part is dealing with the disrespect.

Alatrade isn't a bad place to work, kept me busy the whole 8 hours on was on the job. The most part i love about the job is that i love working with people who are all about doing their best. The management was incredible and outgoing people. A typical day at work was like any normal day working on the line grading chicken as it came down the line. I would say i love working manufacturing jobs. Ive learned working jobs like this is face pacing and always best to be patient and careful on the job, always making sure every order is right before packaging them. I always have a positive attitude towards everything.

You will meet alot of different people when working, but this means alot of personalities as well, best you could do is keep your head kinda down and keep your friend circle small. You get 2 30 minute breaks throughout the day so learn to eat fast. It's not a bad job to work and no high school diploma or degree needed, and they hire felons so if you are a felon and can't find a job here you go.
