Bellisio Foods

i have worked for the company when it has been luiginos and bellissios with over 14 yrs there.
the bulk amount of complaints come from employees who knew what they were sighning up for to begin with.. which is the very same people that would complain sitting on their bottom collecting a check as well.. every single maint man was forewarned about the attention needed and time consumed before they began i can assure you thats true.
although i do not work there anymore i can say the time and attention that the plant and corporate heads have given to train and teach these novice maintenance personel is worth a fortune in career experience and the qualities learned from there has led me to excel at any orher plant as a maint tech.
so in short the only people that could possibly complain about that plant are the same idiots that blame the chair they trip over, bellisios is full of wonderful people and leaders who exhaust themselves by investing the knowledge that has came with decades of hard work in a totally useless employee who does not strive for a feeling of accomplishment or personal excellence.. actually it is the corporate members that the community should feel sorry for or at keast pay for their shrinks.. and this truth is coming from a 15 yr union member.. sad that it seems that everyone has bad things to say about a business that brings employment in these times as well as gives people a career.. but even sadder is the people who know this refuse to speak on it and rhats where the true shame is.

I have never "quit" a job...until I walked out of this one at about 11:30pm on a Sunday night of a Holiday weekend.  I only lasted 6 months.  I was working 60-70 hrs per week after I was made well aware during my interview that my pay was based on 10hrs per day (and not 8).  I had built up 2 weeks of comp time (past my 50hrs per week). I wasn't going to get reimbursed for it so I told my boss I was going to take comp time.  He said there is no comp time policy.  I said there is now...and left for a week.  After I returned, I was again working weekends and holidays.  At about 11pm on a holiday Sunday, we were trying to get a new line up and running for Monday morning.  My boss said we stay until it's up because our next chance to work on it would be 4th of July holiday.  I walked.  I still feel bad for doing it but that is just ridiculous.  I was treated better in the Army.  I did leave a resignation letter and my boss wrote back that he wished he'd been given 2 weeks.  I thought about writing back and telling him to write the 2 weeks off as comp time but I left it alone.  They're still doing fine without me and I'm fine without them. That kinda sums it up.

Pros
A weekly paycheck, some employees are nice and
enjoyed the job itself without the drama. I was there to
do a job. Not to be everyone's friend.
Cons
Belittled, under paid for the job requirements which is
much more than one person can handle without being
stressed out. The fear of losing your job everyday.
Working more than 10 hours a day, six days a week and
only being paid for 40 hours. New diversity groups are
allowed to break rules and not understand nor speak
English. No competent training. Bellisio moto " Make it
work" Ask for help, not going to get it!! Want the
opportunity to talk bout work load? Not hearing it, all
other supervisors can handle it. Disrespectful and
negative atmosphere.
Advice
If you have rules then follow through with them. Rules
should apply to everyone and everyone should be held
accountable. You're losing a lot of talented individuals
because of wrong decisions in how much work load a
person can handle and without competent reliable
employees.

Every morning before the line can start running I have to set the weights for each component. Once I have them set to a good starting point I must pull each component to see if an adjustment needs to be done. Once the weights are set I inform my supervisor and the line starts up. Every half hour throughtout the day I must pull a check on all of the components to make sure they have stayed within the limits. The hardest part of my job is when a machine is not dropping right and I have to perform different task on it to make sure that it is dropping the way it should be. I have learned alot from this job. I have learned how to do many different jobs, all the paperwork, how to run the lines, and make sure the machines are working right. All my co-workers are wonderful and we all work together as a team instead of working against each other which is a really big factor in a Assembly line.

The benefits package offered is reqlly good and is probably the strongest plus for this company. 
The lower level management (the supervisors and leads that work out on the floor who actually observe and understand the unpredictable complications that arise during daily operations) is really good and they try to be as fair as possible to the employees. However, the higher level management (the ones who only see production numbers and don't always see and understand the problems that arise during work) are more demanding and less forgiving about not meeting production goals. This can add to the work stress a bit. Pay could be higher but overall, this is a good job for the Jackson County area with lots of room for promotion opportunities within the company.

I came back after working at a different food factory I asked to be placed in a cooler area and they place me in a fryer that's 110°F not happy about that then they moved me to a colder area without me signing a bid for and I told them I didn't want to move to the area because it is out of the time frame of hours I can work. It's a horrible work and life balance I get off at 6pm and a lot of places are closed and I'm off Sundays the worse day to have nothing is open on Sundays.  Honestly it's a lot of hard work for little pay I'd rather have a easy job that pays the same then to break my back for a little money . Bellisio need to make it $16 an hour if they are wanting people to say no one can make it only $11 . I'm thinking about leaving for a easier job that pays the same. 

A great place to work, and the freedom to make wholesale changes in the manufacturing process to food safety program was a great benefit. Through mt time there I learned a lot about the SQF process and streamlining manufacturing. Managing a budget of $1,000,000 was new and having 200+ people working under me in Quality control made for a fun and challenging work environment.   The hours expected were the only drawback to the job. It made it difficult to see the children and they were ridged when it came to bringing the kids to work on weekends or after hours.

I liked the hours that I had while I worked there and my coworkers that were very nice and easy to get along with. I was moved around so much when I first started working there, that I had no idea where I was actually going to be working or how would even be my supervisor for awhile. I know that you have certain bosses and/or employees that are the best of people to work with, but a lot of the supervisors there are very rude, demanding and expected you to do the work of 2 or so employees. It would become so overwhelming at times and it seemed like even though you would try to do your best, that it was not ever good enough.

A day at work varies from day to day. I have learned that in order to get through each day you have to do your job and not take anything personal. I have also learned that the people holding the management     positions are not qualified to hold their positions, and have no idea what is really required of them or how to treat people. The employee's are all disgruntled and just deal with it because they need a job. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the unprofessional people holding the management positions. I can't say that there is a enjoyable part of the job, only grateful that I have a job.

I Ensured all of my employees were following safety codes and sanitary procedures throughout the work day. Ensured my department followed all quotas for the week for shipments and cross trained employees daily to help improve teamwork and an all around friendly learning environment. The hardest part of the job was keeping up with the ever-changing inventory control system but always did my best and came out on top. The most enjoyable part of my job was the ability to advance to different positions through the plant.
