Chicken of the is extremely sales oriented.  There were account managers that wanted us (GL Team)  to realize revenues after the period was closed on the books and we were forced to do so.  This violates GAAP and accounting ethics. Second, the managers created a highly competitive environment among employees - a characteristic  associated with many sales oriented firms.  Third, chicken of the Sea systems (ERP, CRM, Inventory, etc. are not integrated and this made it difficult for reconciliations of these accounts. 

Long story short I would not recommend anyone to work here if they are used to working with highly interpreted systems such as SAP, MS Dynamics 365, Oracle, and the like; and if they are from team oriented and supportive backgrounds.  That was the reason why I only worked there for 9 months and left.

A typical day working at Chicken of the Sea  was completing GMP and Food Safety Audits. I would choose an area and pull the Standard Operating Procedures and audit the employee working the area that day to make sure the employee knew how to properly perform the job. I learned Basic HACCP for canning tuna, and how to take and give constructive corrective criticism. The hardest part of the job was when I would try to perform a job that I was not familiar with while I was completing the audit. The most enjoyable part of the job was being around some of the employees that were on the lines trying to out work other lines.

This company has lots of turn over.  Overworked, overloaded with work, do not want to pay overtime but expect you to fulfill your task, plus other and there is a lack of departments accountability of lots of errors, OLD unprocess issues and expectations of making miracles to fix issues that even old or new management did not pursue to listen to or to follow-up on.  Never a sense of accomplishment since it is just a never ending overload of old issues and duties and meetings and mgmt. not listening.  HR just not there.:(...reason why people leave from left to right.

Because of the cost of living, the pay did not equal the amount of work put in for the day. There was no overtime paid to the "manual" laborers. I remember I worked 12 hours and got paid less than a days' work. The co-workers were okay, some of them. The others were highly disrespectful especially to a person who is quiet like me. The hardest part of the job was receiving a pay check undesirable. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting off for the day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
PTO and remote flex schedule. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
upper management did not know what was done on a day-to-day basis. 

At times, the operation team was clicky; which is great if you're apart of that club. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
8 am-5 pm (EST). Hour-long lunch break that was mandated.

A typical day at work is simply grab your tools needed. And continue on to your work station. The main focus is to stay focus on what your doing. If there's any need for any assistance there's always another employee there to assist. I didn't learn much working there but I did learn the meaning of hard labor and how to stay focus even when it gets rough. The management was equipped everything stayed perfectly put together. And the co-workers stayed on task.

They are horrible, they have no loyalty or honesty whatsoever in their company. They will lie to you and replace you in a heartbeat no matter how hard you work. They will underpay you no matter how much you’re valued. They are friends and mix personal affairs with business and work affairs. Meaning they show favoritism and will take the side of someone they like or know personally whether they are right or wrong 

They have very strict rules and when you mess up, they are quick to want to replace you. When you first work there you are working as an temp. and have to bid for an job. I think that is ridiculous. The job is very easy and another thing i don't like is that last day of the week you don't know what time you are getting off on night shift which i think is unfair.

Overall the work experience was decent at best. There were times where i thought to myself this could be a ton of alot better. The compensation was below average for a heavy work load. But unlike most jobs like this it taught me to not be greedy and learn to take on the opportunities thats been given to help set up the betterment of the next available opportunity
