Baldor-Specialty-Foods

People leave for a reason, drivers are always quitting  that is why they always hiring  at Baldor because of no raise and now  the company  has had a lot of accidents with the drivers not being careful and hurting people some drivers have even cause death which is serious. If you want to work for this company and you want to be a driver just know you going to go threw a road test and a written test and it would take you a whole month before you can even have you own truck and get on the road and do delivery’s in the meantime all you would be doing is parking the trucks when the drivers get back from the loading docks to the parking lot so good luck the problem with the company is that they believe the problem is going to make drivers more safe but in reality it’s a good program but it shouldn’t take a whole month to evaluate a person because they have workers who has been working there for year also get into accidents let’s face it accident are going to happen but you have to be aware of what you do on the job and always know about safety 

the job was easily done with training. and i had learned alot about cleanliness in a freezer environment. the management was very focused on their departments but there was a few meetings to keep us all together.the culture of the workplace was do your job or someone will do it for you, but if they get someone to replace you dont be mad. the most difficult part of the job to me was keeping up with all the drops in my area while making the necessary moves to keep the products getting to the customers. the most enjoyable part of the job was cleaning up at the end of the day, i really learned alot about the machines as well as got closer to some of my co-workers.

This place is good if you are just starting out in this kind of field. Other than that, I do not recommend this place to the seasoned professionals like me. You will be wasting your time here. You'll thank me for the advise.
They're are many issues that need to be addressed in all departments. 
They will get rid of you if you are smarter than they are.
They talk about team work and they have never worked as a team before.
This place has potential to be great but they need to clean house starting at the top.

I literally just quit working there when my probation was about the in just one week. They don’t train correctly about everything and what to do. They expect you to know everything. My supervisor doesn’t communicate with me. My manager was good and patient with me. The department is a toxic environment. I recommend no one to work at this toxic company. The people I’ve worked with are horrible. It’s literally your words against theirs. It’s a lot of favoritism there. The whole department is miserable and talk about you in front of you and don’t care. Very unprofessional there. I couldn’t take it anymore. Company is good, but the people you work with is toxic and negative. 

Typical days included inventory audits, bin counts, QC checks, and following food safety procedures. I learned inventory control, accuracy, teamwork, and working in cold environments with structured management and a safety-focused culture. The most challenging part was the physical work in cold storage, while what I enjoyed most was learning QC processes and contributing to quality and food safety.

I was always busy.   Work was a great experience because there was always something new to learn. The hardest thing was getting up at 2:30 am but I did it for 20 years without complaining.  I enjoyed learning the new computerized system for handling the distribution of the merchandise to each vendor.  At first it was very complicated to understand it but I like challenge and learning new things.  I felt I had job security because Baldor kept growing thru out the years.  When I first started with Baldor, there were only 100 drivers.  After 19 years there were 600 drivers.

Work environment wasn't a good experience. I came in as an outsider with experience in the food industry. I came from Whole Foods where I was there for 12 plus years. Working at Baldor was horrible fellow receivers weren't helpful and Lead Receivers were even worse with a new comer like myself I felt like I wasn't accepted. A lot of employees talking behind others backs. The moral is not what I was accustomed to like at my prior employer.

Nonstop action from the moment you sit at your desk until the minute it time to go home. 30 minute lunch break with no breaks due to the sheer volume and magnitude of cash and check payments, credit applications and number of accounts under my responsibility. I manage more than 600 accounts ranging from small mom and pop businesses up to national accounts such as Sheraton and Hilton Hotels, United Nations and Yankee Stadium accounts, just to name a very few.

A typical day at work would be coming in turning the computer, turning on the phone. Getting ready for phone calls and email. Take orders live or via email and enter them for pick up or delivery. My patience was put to test a lot in this industry.  I learned how to differentiate accents. I learned about vegetables and fruits. I learned how to handle angry customers. Management wasn't great. There was a lot of favoritism at work a lot of hypocrisy a lot of unfairness. Co-worker we're okay. Chosen few we're friendly. The hardest part of my job was dealing with the customers. The enjoyable part of the job were the lesson on the new items.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They are background friendly. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If you don’t speak Spanish and/or French, there will always be a miscommunication, only two supervisors speak English in the department I work in. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly and accommodating for Spanish and/or French speakers. Awkward for only English speakers. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I be feeling stressed and or anxiety.
