I love the flexibility that this job provides, but the pay does not measure up to the amount of work required. I see that the new job posting for my position says “overtime required”- believe this. If it is time for you to leave for the evening but there is a situation that needs attention you are expected to stay on. This is also not a job where you can take time off without impunity- you would need to work 18 hours the next day trying to catch up. Most people are working on their days off or during their vacations. Another huge draw back is that there is no 401K or retirement accounts. This is not a place that anyone actually retires from. The majority of employees have been here for less than two years. Most employees are young and work here to gain some experience and then they leave. No vacation time your first year- 10 days after that. Management is great and approachable.  I do see this company growing rapidly and the people at the top are always working towards improving systems, procedures and policies, but there is also a lot of immaturity among the leaders. There is a ton of turnaround and there are good reasons for it. Everyone is overworked so response times are long which makes collaboration almost impossible. There is no time for any of the extra little things that can make work enjoyable. Most days you you can’t even get in a lunch. No one retires from here because, well you can’t. 

Batory only looks good on paper.  This is a company that will rather hire 10-20 people to do manual ridiculous work instead of investing the money to go digital!!  Toxic people, outdated methods, micromanagement and they are all  stuck on their old ways. They don’t want to change!! They Refuse  to change.
People who have been there a long time are bullies and they talk badly about management and Sales Reps they call their own sales reps crybabies, entitled, pushy and demanding. People have no shame in telling you they only put up with Sales Reps because they give out “great presents for Christmas” and love letting people know they can get anyone fired!  They brag about having a direct line to the owner’s son and how they “love to sing like a canary” when they are not happy with whatever management does. 
Overall a very toxic unfriendly place. Where the people who have been there for a long time run the whole show because “ that’s the way they’ve always done things!”  Employees even talk about how much they hate their customers and how their customers are A pain (to put it nicely and not use the exact words they use) Yes they do! No joke!!  Overall one of the most toxic places you can imaginen. 


Please run away as soon as you can from Batory and Don’t make yourself miserable. They like to think about themselves and not as a Company. There is a constant lack of clarity around projects between coworkers and departments; This company needs a lot of help and everyone is over- qualified for this joke.  
Some of the old people there just resist as much as they can to the continuous improvement that the good people is implementing. They act like teenagers and lack … L A C K professionalism. They think about themself and lack connectedness to the rest of the Company. 
No accountability, decisions and daily activities are made based on emotion.
Worst work experience in my life!

The Free breakfast does not even comply with the Batory basic of Health and Wellness: really ? A fridge/kitchen stocked with sweeten drinks, chips, Oreos and all kind of processed food. 

Thankful to be away from it all ! 

Batory foods is a fast paced warehouse facility. There are many aspects of the job that can overwhelm workers- especially new hires. Attention to detail is essential to minimize stress. Warehousemen must be able to multi-task and prioritize the days work without supervision. Safety is left up to the individual worker and seldom addressed/enforced. Accuracy is also essential however workers have to learn through trial and error. The position I held allowed me to develop foresight into the company's operations and prepare for the huge volume of inventory movement. The hardest part of the job is not taking criticism personally- Business is Business. The most enjoyable part is meeting and working with other employees

If you want to be married to your work, you will thrive here.  Hours seen at your desk are valued higher than the quality of work put in.  Hostile personalities are the norm and those with some tenure with the company are offered higher up roles where they micromanage and treat their subordinates like peasants.  Meetings often end with such uplifting phrases as “Trust no one”.  No one at the top has a clue what goes on in the departments underneath them and managers create a poor morale.

If you want to work in a place that is nothing but drama and the Management has no accountability then this jobs for you. The new Facility manger picks her favorites and is currently (cleaning house). She had poor accountability for the actions that take place, the supervisors there are either family with her or her people.  Very rude to the ones she doesn’t like. I’ve never worked somewhere where I as so stressed all the time! There’s leads there that are so lazy but gets away with it. Employees there are always calling off so that’s more work that you would have to do. They talk about building a great team but then again fire great hard working people.  The only pros working here are the bonus check which she will eventually get rid of. You will only get a raise if she likes u..

I ran the Customer portion of the Wilmington facility (Fonterra) from the day it opened. Batory itself is a wonderful Company. Management in Wilmington will be the demise of the 3PL. No integrity. No accountability. Management weeds out Associates that run by the book and don't assist in shortcuts or throwing each other under buses.
A new HR department is clueless and will also ruin good relations within the Company. 
Paying inexperienced and ignorant Leads obscene salaries while they make mistake after mistake and steal time constantly. Supervisors sit behind desks and have ZERO follow up, refuse to train properly. The Fonterra side of the Warehouse will thrive....provided they sign for another 3yrs.... God Bless America.

A typical day at Batory started with a safety review, and start up briefing followed by safety stretches. I learned the importance of dry ingredients in everything that we consume goes through extensive, expensive process to be produced. Thanks to many experienced and helpful people there I've been able to learn different techniques to add to my own both mentally and physically. The only difficulty was the day schedule, otherwise it was great being there. 

Lots of turnover and very stressfull.
Breakfast is offered every day and the office ladies are required to set up and clean up the food and they are always complaing about it!
They main operating system is very dated and combersome which allows a lot of room for error. 
CSRs are constantly being blamed and held responsiblel for 99% of orders that are not correct.
This is a very he said/she said back stabbing company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The Salary is not bad and good benefits 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
running to be able to finish what you have. Of course you will have to work at least a couple hours more than your schedule per day.
