Enjoyed the job and most of the people I worked with. Both inside employees and the outside people coming in on a daily basis. In my opinion the upper management ignored alot of things happening between employees, and never really reviewed or asked questions they should have to what was really going on. One on One with the employees never happened. There was really no hardest part of the job, except when information was needed for month end inventories there was never a sufficient help to get it done on a timely basis. The most enjoyable part of the job was dealing with the milk truck drivers and the intake crew. A typical day at work was busy, getting all paper work into the systems. A very enjoyable JOB, but unfortnately the management only listened to a certain few.

down side of working here is everyone is criminals or crooked and its in Humboldt need i say more. on my 3rd week at bongards a guy got his arm cut off by a machine blood was everywhere.  you'd think prison was disney world the way everyone talks about it there smh.guys know they safe at work so they'll try and talk slick to you. if you work here go to the grind room its really laid back my supervisor was the best I've worked wit he was very helpful and communicated good. the other managers/supervisors was trash DONT drive the forklifts its the worst ever its soooo much you gotta do its a long list of things i seen like 5 new hires try to drive they all quit including me i miss the money but i didn't wanna stress over a job that's unfair from the start seemed like everyone had time to socialise and go grab a snack but me breaks are 25 mins id only take 10-15 cuz i didn't have no one to break me out cuz they're working with a skeleton crew people and hrs sucked but i stayed cuz of the checks

No communication. They pick and choose favorites. They give jobs to who they want to have them. There is no work life balance if you work on certain lines or certain areas. The pay is decent but you’ve got relief operators that get paid about 3 more dollars per hour than a machine operator and they walk around with their hands in their pockets. You do your job then some. As long as you’re not opinionated and you do what they want you to you will be fine.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no best part of working with this company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management and workers have very poor attitude toward  each other.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very hostile environment. Human Resource and management ignores serious issues at this facility.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day is like he'll at this company.

They force you to work you on your days off and have forced us to work holidays. Large disconnect between corporate office and the plant. Corporate will close during bad weather and they keep the plant open. Management will tell you one thing and do another instead of telling you the truth. And we are always short handed on all shifts because turnover is so high. The pay rate and benefits are the only good things.

The people at this company are horribly rude. It was exceptionally hard to work in thus setting as they talked non stop while your trying to work. Management is absolutely worthless. I do not recommend going to work  there especially in the office setting. Worst job I have ever had. Some people have little work to do while others are overwhelmed.  There are definitely favorites among the staff. Again, save yourself some time and heartache and don't apply. 

Company, from top down, creates a culture of conflict! They feel people perform better while attacking each and always on the defensive! They have no issue with put a person in charge of a department who’s poorly qualified and highly confrontational. This person has been removed from position after position, yet is still with the company! HR is powerless against their “Good Old Boy Network”  You are expected to live for the company 24/7, and you will be told this!

A typical day at Bongards could be described as
 "hit the ground running"  Knowledge was available if you were willing to learn ..( I learned a lot), Management is supportive... (most times) Workplace culture was like family... (good, bad and ugly) The hardest part of the job was  lack of communication from managers to employees ..and the most enjoyable part of the job was being celebrated when you met or exceeded the company expectations.

Bongaards lacks the structure that will allow someone to talk about the treatment being given by your supervisor without reprecussion. Having a voice against the level above you is not acceptable or tolerated. The HR representative gives you no support in a situation such as the one described

And in all the wrong ways. Management would start enforcing rules like it was Target or something, and inconsistency ruled everything there. Impossible to get new people hired because the pay is so low in the area, and that put stress on everyone else.
