Allen Flavors

What is the best part of working at the company?
I was given almost complete independence to carry out my job. No one was looking over my shoulder or asking when the results would be ready. The pay was generous. They always seemed very appreciative of what I was doing.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part was when the original managers retired and hired a new manager to take over. He lacked the maturity and love of the original managers who were also the owners of the business.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was good and people worked very conscientiously to do the best they could. Almost everyone in the labs liked the way they were treated.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I did analysis of incoming raw materials and developed new methods when necessary. I always looked forward to coming to work. For me it was not really work but an adventure of discovery each day.

Through my years of working with the company I learned many new jobs and responsibilities in the beverage industry. The last position I was in was a inventory supervisor, and when it came time a pay raise they didn’t offer it to me . I took the role and proved to them I was capable of performing the job and after those 6 months they never issued me the raise for the job description . I had did the job for over one year and there was no Compensation so I had parted ways shorty after that 

I worked here Allen Flavors for only 2 weeks and they let me go saying I was not a good fit for the job. Let me start by saying the company has great benefits, hours and the people seemed really nice . I was hired for the Customer Service position and walked into them being short staffed I thought I was going to get a reasonable amount of training . Not the case . I was thrown in with in a week. In that week there was another co worker resigning and found out the person that held my position left with out notice. They were overwhelmed with work and did not provide proper training. In my opinion that was poor management and unrealistic timing to retain everything I needed to learn.

No organization 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My typical day, doing 3 -6 orders a day depending on pallet count. This is also taking to count other issues that I had processing the order.

Management needs improvement as stated in the title. No sympathy for workers with outside duties after work hours and also for all the workload sometimes in the work space. Can get backed up pretty easily and you are expected to complete your tasks in a quickly and orderly fashion working as one guy while also being short staffed. A lot of chiefs and not enough indians to say the least and it's very possible to work on that if there was more workers available. Poor leadership as well and that just creates a bad working environment for everyone. All this can be worked on if it was cared enough for. 

I have worked in large global organizations and small start ups, and Allen Flavors by far has been the best fit for me! The people, the work-life balance, the teamwork is unlike any environment I have worked in before.   The company culture promotes open door policies, ideas are acknowledged and validated. There is a great health and wellness program.  Fit challenges run all year long with great prizes.  It's a fun place to work!

From day one the culture at Allen Flavors was a very positive one. From human resources to upper management down to my shipping/receiving supervisor. Going to work was a very enjoyable experience. If I was still a resident of NJ I know I would be working at Allen Flavors for many years hopefully to the golden age of retirement. 

Duties consist of receiving material for batching, weight up and batch to formulation. Send samples to lab for approval, then pack into proper packaging while being screened for particulates. Send finished goods to shipping for verifying then shipped to customer.

That was very easy for me to laerned when I was there,just follow the policy, like SOP,
GMP,
Accp, nothing wrong ,just come to work on time,respect the rules,and nothing more

testing products
writing reports
using laser to test samples
testing controls against new samples
discussing with management new measures
