Algood Food Company

If you come here with good intentions you won't be here very long. This company will ask your opinion about things and once you give it to them they will take it wrong. My manager did not want to deal with issues, as a result, I was fired and labeled a trouble maker. No one is happy at Algood, management is such hypocrites because they get sick days, the lab workers get sick days and the warehouse workers and security have to use bonus days or vacation days when they call in because they are on the point system.  Whatever happened to lead by example? I've seen people here fired for the smallest infractions and other workers do as they please and no one says anything. I'm pretty sure this place loves to fire people for whatever reason. I've seen at least two or three people get fired here in a week. Don't walk from this place, run!

Everyday working for Algood was different.  There were always different challenges that made it fun to approach work each day.  One of the things that I learned good management leads to happy productive workers and an overall pleasant environment. We had a very diverse team that communicated well together. The most challenging part of the job was the antagonistic relationship between quality and production.  This is resolved with a willingness to communicate for efficiency and quality.  The relationships formed was the most enjoyable part of the job.

This place will act like they care but they don't.
The hours are listed as four 10 hour days but its actually 12,12,12,10. If you take vacation on the 12 hour day they will only pay you 10.
They will push their agenda for getting vaccinated and if your not vaccinated they have different policies for you.
Management is the typical good ol boys system.
HR will pick when they want to enforce policy.
The workers here are good people for the most part but if you need a job with no work/life balance or never ending policy changes that benefit the company this is your place.

This was the only job I have ever had where I did not encounter a single unpleasant person or anyone who did not enjoy being there. The plant was fairly relaxed and though the schedule was kind of strange the hours were not bad. Management were extremely helpful and involved. The benefits were extrodinary for such a small company. As a maintenance machinist, it was a tad boring since not much broke in the plant. Lots of peanut butter! Not a good job for someone with nut allergies but overall  the best company I have ever worked for

Worked for the company for several years. Work was easy, but sometimes strenuous. Other times it was fast paced and rushed. Management was inconsistent/ Maine supervisors cared about quality of work and your well being, while others actively undermine you if you don’t follow vague company policy. Work environment was very clean and well kept. Most people there will listen to your issues, but rarely are they addressed. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Work life balance and competitive pay.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Temperatures can be very high in summer 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Supportive and accepting in my experience 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fast paced, lots of walking. Tasks vary day to day based on demand for product

Hourly monitoring of all employees procedures to ensure company compliance. Constantly reviewing daily documentation, payroll, shipping, cleanliness, etc. Upper Management did not want to give me answers when a problem arose. So I made the decisions based on my knowledge and expertise in producing safe quality food.

Algood is a great company that will allow opportunities for employees to move up within the company.  Many of the office personnel started in production and have worked their way to management positions.  

I worked in production for a few years and saw some negative attitudes, but they are not doing anything to improve their situation.  If you work hard and have a good attitude, you can go after these opportunities.

Not overly stressful
Sitting at leisure permitted
Upper management communication is subpar
Overtime available but not forced
Favoritism is a plague in house
Annual raises across the board, not performance based
Open discussion of pay for different floor positions

Alggod Foods is a wonderful small business in Louisville, Kentucky. I appreciate that it is still family-owned. The owner treats every employee as a member of the Algood Family. They provide 100% of the benefits. Wages/Salary are above average. The only downside, the shifts are not ideal.
