B&W QUALITY GROWERS

A typical day was spent gather demand , planning harvest and production schedules, then planning loads for distribution, along with procuring supplemental crops from contract farms.
I learned food safety protocols, and crop details.
Management was dedicated, focused, and fair.
The hardest part of the job was the logistics of moving 7 farm locations seasonally, as it included the crops, people, equipment, plus production schedules between location transitions to meet consumer demand.
The most enjoyable part of the job was working with the sales department, the production  manager, and the field manager to project the sales forecast, plan the harvest and production schedule, then build the distribution schedule on a daily basis.

Schedule unsteady randomly get called in for work early last minute. Expect to work 6-7 days sometimes  7 days straight majority 12hr shifts for weeks without days off. The hardest part of the job is EVERYTHING  if you do not speak Spanish   you will be overlooked and have a rough time due to 90 percent of the job is Hispanics 5 percent speak French who are over worked and under paid and have no other place to work so they settle. The office staff have no knowledge of whats going on with production 

B&W is a great place to work. They value their employees, customers and products. B&W Quality Growers is a place where you can grow your skills, gain valuable experience in leafy greens and agricultural operations, and be part of a company that values its employees. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to build a career in farming and production.

A typical workday was very active and required teamwork and speed. I learned to be more responsible, punctual, and to work under pressure. Management was organized and coworkers were respectful. The hardest part of the job was the physical work and long hours standing. What I liked most was the work environment and the experience I gained.

(GOOD)—The company is a great warehouse to work for if you like freezing cold like iceboxes then this is the place for you. Fast paced very productive work. 

(BAD)— The only thing bad about this company is when you have to make the boxes and then when your on the line where the Conveyor Belt is, you have to grab however many bags your sticker says and pack your box a certain way close the box up and send it down the conveyor, you have to watch the bags you grab though because some products  could be bad, or half the time the bags are ripped when the machine puts it in the bag and seals it.

It was truly a great position and I was temporary BUT then they told me that they were going to keep me full time. So my future looked promising and I didn't search or line any other jobs up. I put all my effort thinking I finally found my "home," just to be tossed out at the last minute with NOTHING said, it feels I never existed there and it still really bothers me. I'll never trust an employer like that again.
