this place is not a place to work..favortizm is shown by the management to floor workers..upper management could care less about the employee who actually does the work in the heat and cold and took 3 minutes of 2 breaks away and 3 minutes of the lunch...motto for the product..when in doubt it is good/bad just ship it on out...some stations got heaters while others freeze in the cold...hr dept is a joke that lady is so wishy washy and not professional and does for who she wants to do for...no one is treated with respect on the floor it is only about production rates not the quality of the product..employee turn over is fast and those there are looking for other jobs...if you are in the click you get the raises and do not have to work as hard as others...no training they stick you on the job with another person trying to train you..many are on drugs the whole plant needs to be tested even the HR Dept..  raises are for the favorites and cross training rarely happens unless you brown nose upper management........mcdonalds makes more money than boyd pays..would not recommend this place to anyone unless they want to be in for a hard 8 hours of stress from the leads, upper management and HR.....PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN AND FULLY INVESTIGATED..........

Monthly plans are usually put in place at the beginning of the month. Which would be fine if we actually stocked materials to be able to complete the jobs. 

Most employees are great to be around.
The vibes are generally good with alot of laughter and joking.

Management are good people but sometimes seem to not have a direction that they want to take to make things better.

Upper management gm and om are very compassionate and understanding. As well as personable.

Shift supervisors are all great to have conversations with and try their best to meet the needs of the employees.

The atmosphere is laid back for the most part unless it is end of month. And due to the last minute planning things can get hectic.

The main problem is corporate. They constantly kick raises down the road. Promise backpay and dates that they will take effect. Then inform our leadership the day of the raise that it's not happening until 1 or 2 weeks. Raises should have been in July and now we are looking at hopefully september.

No advancement, To be one of the largest companies in the area who has never stopped producing, have increased production and bought new plants across the nation, their pay scale doesn’t match the bay area . Management has no idea what you do. There’s no gratitude for the overload that you take on every day. The volume is immense and they have one account clerk Who could not get help for two years. Buried in paperwork to logistics and the volume of the workload would require a minimum Of 2 to 3 people. They  have an archaic system which includes a Doss system R-4, for accounting purposes. There is no forward thinking and the pressure is there to perform under great pressure and deadlines that are impossible to maintain. If you show initiative they will certainly utilize everything you have but they’re not willing to pay for any of your expertise.

Its hard to put into words what goes on at this place. This place is more than a JOKE!  Management is the absolute worst. Favoritism, unfair, confusion, and secretive. If you go to HR with a question, usually you are given a number to call instead of having it done for you. Every single person on the shop floor is unhappy and looking for work. They have a raise program but 40-60 cents is most you will get and that only depends on who you are. On fathers day they let all the fathers working in the OFFICE leave, but no one on the shop floor. They do have a bonus program but all they do is find ways to take money away! They boast about having over $4 million dollar months, and then get employees doughnuts. Thats it. Trust me, if you apply here you will be miserable like everyone else there. APPLY else where!!!!

Nobody here has a clue what training means ! They put me on a machine to learn then they pulled me off to help another guy on another machine because He needed help and only thing I was thinking why don’t this guy take a bath then they ask you did you learn anything I’m like how and they all gossip here and when your in the break room taking off the jacket they give you they all bump into you or try to run you over this place is horrible you can feel it soon as you go to work every morning this is not the job for anybody trust me your better off going somewhere else I would avoid this place it’s full of hillbilly’s and managers who know nothing but only mess things up I was told the only way you will learn is to just get in here and mess things up I was like if you train me correctly I can actually do the job this place is a joke .

Great co-workers, especially in the manufacturing plant

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
favoritism and cover up for the lack of knowledge

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
busy and frustrating, with management wishy washy decisions

Comunication between departments is very poor. Corporate seems to come up with un-realistic expectations for sales and growth. Company structure seems very top heavy while multiple critical positions at local level have been unfilled. Career advancement seems non existent. The future of Boyd's legacy facilities seem uncertain. Corporate has decided to close their facility in Modesto California and will attempt to move production to a new facility in Juarez Mexico. The employees at the Modesto facility will loose their jobs after working here for decades.

This is just a bunch of nerds with the no common sense doing a science project. Don't get confused and don't work here.

They are battling between management and engineering, and they cannot come to a consensus. And the workers are caught in the middle, and it's very frustrating.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
New people are invisible and basically ignored. All decisions are within the company.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You are told what to do. But your voice does not matter.

Very poor leadership in the front end. Showed favoritism, only certain associates allowed to work OT whenever they wanted mainly first shift. No diversity in leadership, no training,  housekeeping bad, no communication between shifts night people not told anything, equipment not available that was needed to do job. Very disrespectful environment to work in on first shift. No fair accountability tracking, picked and choose who they wanted to hold accountable and when. Women and minority leaders appear to be treated differently on many occasions.
