A typical day for me was to go in get dressed out in PPE which was muck boots, hair net, smock, gloves, safety glasses, and a bump hat. I enjoyed the job, I loved the hands on a experience, I learned a lot about the equipment, set up, change overs, cleaning the blend therms, breddos, running the CIP, building the fillers, Heinz block and positive drive pumps, the management was mostly fair, on somethings, but not on other things like break's, some of the employees moped around and done less to nothing taking as many breaks as they wanted, nothing never said to them and they've done that for 15+ year's. But I always got in trouble for taking a break which sometimes I was late but other employees could take 10 a shift,no lie and they are still there. I'm just being honest. I loved my job and was good at it but I just didn't fit in.  I didn't cut corners I done my job as it was taught to me and took pride on my work but unfortunately I lost my job due to trying to get Away with what my other co- workers got away with. I knew better. But all in all it's a good place to work pretty laid back as long as you come in on time do your job and follow the rules. 

I feel like my work position is important to those I work with. I've learned people will treat you as good as you treat them. Management is good there. A great career for anyone willing to learn. The hardest part of the job is not being able to follow the rules. The most enjoyable thing to me about this job is no one standing over me why I perform my duties every day and a job shows trust in the person.

It's a place to work, much like any other place. They like to advance their employees from within but you need a good manager to do so and you have to be liked. It's a toxic place, really. Upper management doesn't hear the voice of middle management, and not because upper management is too far removed (location wise). They just don't care. A lot of gossiping and back biting, cutting corners. A lot of people have been done dirty there. But if you can get a job there, don't try to make friends, just do your job and go home. That's the best advice I can offer.

No accountability, do the least amount that you can to squeak by, promise quality products but rubbish is end result .


The harder you work, the more they go behind you to undo any good you’ve done.

No work life balance or appreciation for hard work.

Many over qualified people let go to cover mistakes upper management continue to make and support.  A CYA environment. Toxic. 

Want to be a packing sticking robot with breaks every 4 hours? Join here. This place cannot keep anyone. A lot of the workers are drug users. The management wants to use you as much as possible. Works 6 days a week 12 hour shifts. Strict attendance. No advancement possibilities. Rude managers who just like to bark orders. Has no help begging job shop workers.I suggest elsewhere.

What is the best part of working at the company?
 Some friendly helpful staff. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some positions are to fast pace.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Shouldn't be no smoking outside 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depends on what I'm doing, how I feel, whom I'm around etc.

I believe I learned hard work does not pay off. And there is no promotion opportunities the 
co-workers are great management recognizes your hard work and make you feel valued but the people behind the scenes do not value or recognize that before layoffs are made they don't talk to plant managers to see what would be the best choice.

Let me start by saying I loved what I did. But the company is ran on favoritism. They promote friends and family. Management is horrible. If you go to HR for ANYTHING they immediately go and tell your managers or supervisor (if they are tight). The employees have no one to support them. This place needs a Union.

Being part of food science team was great, but overall organizational leadership and strategy is extremely lacking. Executive leadership puts decisions and resources in the wrong hands and places, losing customer respect and relationships. This place is like living in Stranger Things' upside down.  It's living in a parallel universe to reality.
