Baker Commodities, Inc.

I was NOT given proper training or support during my time here. Workloads from before my start date were pushed onto me, and I was expected to cover another coworker while still trying to learn my main role. My trainer’s approach was scattered and VERY unprofessional, which created confusion and conflict rather than clarity.
Management did little to address these issues, and the workplace lacked structure or accountability. There was too much comfortability to grow and gain structure, which made it difficult to succeed or improve. Rules were enforced inconsistently, and the overall culture leaned more toward blame than TEAMWORK.
While I appreciated the few coworkers who communicated professionally, I do not believe this company provides the leadership or environment needed for growth unless you do whatever management wants or allow yourself to be bossed around.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexible time and work day schedule is flexible to work with. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Doing more than one's can handle. Like 3pm schedule pickups but you can't make it on time. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is pretty much like a warehouse duty chore. The culture is pretty much even across the board. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My typical day is getting ready to start my pretrip and then get ready for the first pickup until I finish my route. Then return back to the company and start to unload then do a post trip and then I go and clock out. Thats basically the typical day.

a typical day for me started at 2am and lasted 10to 14hrs long depending on route. my day consist of servicing customers thru out the new england area grease traps i/o bulk grease tank and picking up flesh and bone (raw stock) management was management enough said sometimes helpful other times not at all.As for advancement there was non started as i driver will stay as a driver.on the other hand co-workers are very hard working considering this is a grueling and demanding job both mentally and physically hardest part of the job winter traffic alleys most enjoyable customers the job duties

I went to Billings as a grease route driver .The operation there was in bad shape through previous mismanagement .The new guy asked me to help pull the place in gear which caused me to go over my 60 hours regularly which was their so called weekly allowance. They refusused to pay us for those hours and even deducted hours when we worked 60 as they said i couldnt do 60 each week .I slaved my guts out out for that company and they ripped me off most weeks .Im hanging in till something better comes along.Do not work for this company.

Able to work well with administrative staff. Opportunity to work independently with out supervision.
Typical work day is considered fast paced.
Learned to be held accountable in my field of work and to have a good working relationship with government regulators and business partners that provide support services to our company.
Workplace culture is difficult.
Hardest part of the job is the environment of very offensive odors and pests control.
Enjoyable part of the  job is our administrative staff being able to work together  and assist each other.

I was a driver and the department that I worked for had it's issues that needed to be worked on, but nothing serious. Overall a great job and company to work for. The Trap department allows you to work the minimum 40 hrs a week or overtime every single week if you choose which is nice. The grease/ fat and bone department has more of a set working schedule which doesn't allow you to work more or less than the route permits, but has better working hours then the Trap department. 

It is strenuous, dirty work. It involves working outside of the Tanker truck all through working hours. It is only for those who can work physically at a more demanding level.

I worked at Baker Commodities for 10 months .We where given 60 hours a week to do our grease runs .To complete them we had to go over our 60 hours and quite often not get paid for it or overload our trailers to get home within the 60. We had to do debt collection as the book keeping was disgraceful. Trip sheets where often inaccurate and breakdowns where frequent until I took over maintenance which also I didn't get paid for. Lots of promises from management but plenty of lies.Stay away

Really enjoy working for Baker Commodities. It’s a sustainable company family owned and operated and the company is always innovating new ways to recycle and save the environment. Pay is competitive, not the highest in the industry but has great benefits. Management is always available, you can literally walk right in to the CEO’s office anytime and chat with him. Lots of diversity among employees  and lots of opportunity for vertical movement
