Butterball

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only thing good at this company was the friends that you made while giving your life away for a very low paying job and the biggest work load ever expected from an individual 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The huge work load given to over come the employee shortage so much was expected on very few people when asking for help you get the answers of just figure it out and when you don’t succeed you get punished in the form of write ups and coaching or even termination zero help from upper management and zero loyalty or respect for anyone under a white hat 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is terrible HR and upper management are raceist I saw so many people do things and walk away with there jobs a lot of safety violations people getting hurt relationships being made for advancement and people sent the bathroom inside the plant and outside the plant upper management and HR don’t care about the people that work in this plant unless you are of a certain race slowing and holding others accountable for someone else’s actions in all my years of food service this is one of the grossest places I have worked 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You try to start working and do your job until you are told to do several other tasks until the work load gets to much knowing you won’t be able to finish your tasks as asked you ask for help and get told to figure it out you have zero help from management the training is none at all for new hires with trainers calling them selves training people in departments they have no clue how to work in you get coached or wrote up for not being able to complete your tasks even when you talk to management and ask them for help you go to HR to get there support they do a so called investigation and you find yourself back in HR with another write up and being threatened with termination upper management can lose their cool blow up on you and try to intimidate you into quitting and unless you get on your hands and knees your a nobody never thought I’d see a turkey plant allow there big bosses to sleep with people and give them promotions

A typical day in my department (NH3) is fast pasted, round come first basically looking at pressures/walking the production floor looking for issues then "filling out" a daily pm. Then depending on the rounds you have you'll then conduct inspections and maintenance on equipment in the general area you were assigned to 

do rounds in week at semi or annual. Hers the rub, if you are counted on to perform meaning you are knowledgeable and have ability you will be ran down . Most Technicians don't even care to get off their phone or due to the distanced walked during rounds will hide and pencil whip the pm and turn it in . this is a problem as you may in fact have a more in depth pm on equipment that others in your department neglect.

Don't get me wrong its not all bad. You will learn a bunch if you are unskilled as I was when I started. If you are willing to read up on the job and the people training you like you and have time to show you something and you can absorbs fairly quickly you'll be okay if not you'll need to be able to self train and study to be able to do the work that is expected or well you'll be singled out for not being able to do the job and placed on some remedial duty until they feel like you can hack it. 

The best part of the job.
I have some close friends there and at the end of the day that's why I work hard for the people that are serious about the job and that generally care. Because as I said you really don't have to do anything aside from showing up to maintain pay/employment. 

Management 
Helpful at times if you are liked.

The work place culture 
I wouldn't say its positive. Beyond that relative to the the Individual.

You go in for one job, sign a job offer for that one job, with job title in the header. Then you get to do that job once a week if youre lucky. I was set to be a "shipping loader", but instead i walked all over the plant with a pallet jack for hours at a time. And as soon as i break away to take a break my phone rings asking where im at. Everyone sticks to what theyre doing and leads/supervisors dont actually listen to you. They wait for you to finish talking (SOMETIMES) and then tell you to go to more things. Pay is not good at all for shipping receiving. Havent made this little since i was 19 years old. Was trying to tell a supervisor that ibwas going to see the nurse because i was pretty sick and felt like i should go home halfway through the night only to keep being interrupted by them telling me to do a bunch of other things. Then when the night was half over and i asked to go home they were reluctant even though i had completed the other tasks given. They make one person do all of the walking and labor tasks, and the others will sit on forklifts doing the job you were hired for. Senority i guess. If i were told all of these things when i applied it would be different. The dock doors/levelers are dangerous due to the angle they are at when sitting on the trailers. No cooperation between shipping and production so there are countless man hours spent fixing the same things in the storage coolers over and over and over again every night. Equipment is in terrible shape. And some jobs are union, did not know until the end of orientation that i was doing a union job. Just not a good place to be. But its money, just enough to slow your sinking until you find a good paying job. 

They have ridiculously old machines that break often. They force workers to put out more product, faster to compensate for downtime even though the machines are so terrible, they can't keep up, at which point employees are blamed for not working faster. Some management employees are kind and good spirited but the higher up you go, the worse they are. Was going through a very rough patch that was so obvious 5 different people told the manager to send me home and they wouldn't because they had no one else to do my job (because they don't train enough people for anything more than general labor). They also don't review payroll enough to make sure you're getting shift difs/position/etc pay and if you don't catch it, they won't say anything and it's rare if they'll back pay you for it unless you're at the door yelling every five seconds. They have a union but it's more so to cover their rear ends than to help you out. They threw out someone who worked for decades because they used their FMLA a lot due to extreme illness, had an experienced employee filling in without pay until they found someone to fill it (even though they wanted the job), and then tried to give it to the first person's kid who had no experience in that dept. because they thought they could milk a few more good decades outta them. 

But if you need money fast, desperately, and you don't have a care in the world for your own well being, go for it!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Mostly the Benefits and weekly salary

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
A lot of the Supervisors are inexperienced in leadership and treat their employees like crappie.  They won't get in there and help them physically when there's a problem.  They just stand around.  Some are illiterate and cannot complete the necessary paperwork.  Because they themselves were only promoted because of they're attendance in the same spot.  This company wouldn't have such a high turn over.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There are now a lot of undocumnts working here and they are taking American jobs.  The parking lot is terrible and there are quite a bit of wrecks coming and going.  Several countries work here divided.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Just getting in and out of the parking lot is a serious challenge on orientation days.

Butterball is a great place to work for it. On my 19 yrs. that I worked for Carolina Turkeys now Butterball good memories comes to mind, like Family day ones a year, good working relationship with management  and Floor associates. Worked together with Production to get product out the door to the customer as fresh possible. Activities: Heritage week, This is marbles. Most important one Safety. Different types of Safety awareness activities. Talk safety to every one around you to prevent accidents. Love it. Good Healthcare. Me and co-workers had a good relationship. The hardest part of my job was when a machine, a Blast cell went down or renovations on the department, you need to worker to many hours straight, Not often but sure will happen. 
  I enjoyed the most when a project comes together with good out-comes. Every one happy and proud. I retired from Butterball with a lot of good memories, A lot of friends.

I recently had the opportunity to work at a dynamic tech startup, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. The company's innovative culture fostered a collaborative and motivating work environment. From day one, I felt supported by a team that valued creativity and encouraged fresh ideas.

The management exhibited a remarkable combination of leadership and approachability, creating a sense of camaraderie among employees. The company's commitment to professional development was evident through regular training sessions and mentorship programs.

The work itself was engaging and challenging, providing ample opportunities for skill enhancement. Additionally, the emphasis on work-life balance was refreshing, ensuring that employees could thrive both personally and professionally.

Overall, my time at this job was a rewarding journey filled with growth, learning, and a sense of accomplishment. I would highly recommend this workplace to anyone seeking a dynamic and fulfilling career in the tech industry.

Monitored start up scores, managed on hourly bases,adjusted lines schedule to serve priority demands, reported and -implement actions for improvements on full spectrum of operations (safety,Quality,thru puts, yields, ect.)
I have learned a lot but most important lesson was the MOS-Management Operating System. This helped better manage areas, action implementation, total utilization of resources to drive results. 
Work place culture:Challenging but fun and exciting specially when goals are met. The hardest part of the job is having so much to do but with proper prioritization, delegation, and follow up simplifies maintaining objectives on scope.The most enjoyable part of the job is working with the people their basically family. Together learning and succeeding as a unit reviving and giving recognition for achievements are at the top of the list in my book.

When things go wrong they fire people left and right to avoid admitting things have happend. Managers bosses and team leads use everage workers as scapegoats.  They do not listen to thoughts or comments they dont respect the workers. They dont give sick days. They lie about what sick days and benifits you can get but if your not their actual brother or sister. If your not their own mother or father or child you do not get help. They penalise you even if you have a dr note they. Take away pay and make the claim they accidently over paid you. They take. Pay per hour away to every new person in my group.  They will not let you transfer anywhere even if your skills are way better suited elsewhere. They hire a mass import of Haitians. An with the language barrier there also come a mass amount of thief activity that hr refuses to look into for any reason no matter what they have stolen. Peoples cars broken into. And people have brought guns in and. Shot the place up but they wont let the media know that

What is the best part of working at the company?
The job is very labor intensive and they also train very well I really enjoyed working there

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The brakes are too short and you don't have enough time to get there go out and come back on your brakes also you have to be relieved to use the restroom which is not very efficient

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
While I was there it was pretty good I mean some people wanted act like they know everything when they don't but other than that the company is okay if you can get along and get through the politics

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Okay y'all starting to ask for a little too much I already reviewed the company I don't need to tell you what a day is like working there because that was years ago
