CJ Foods

Working with CJ foods was a good experience for the most part. My supervisors were friendly yet work oriented. At CJ's I was certified to operate Toyota and Nissan forklifts for my position as a Warehouse employee. 

My experiences with co-workers was a 50/50. Half of the employees were convicts with attitude problems and vulgar humor, and the other half were either quiet and kept to themselves or good company to help keep spirits up.

The hardest part of my position at CJ's was that their training was very poor. I had to learn most of the computer softwares operation alone, as my partner who was hired on just a few days earlier was to impatient to put up with any learning mistakes.

The most enjoyable part of the job at CJ's as a Warehouse/Forklift Operator was hands down the operation of the Forklifts. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenges it presented, and would have much preferred to operate the Forklift full time. But this was not possible in that the equipment that operated both lines were rather unreliable.

The environment has a clear hierarchy, lacking professionalism and clarity in the roles of each department. The senior management or head of department particularly from Korea, lacks expertise and is not sufficiently capable of effectively managing teams, often making subjective and biased decisions. There is a lot of drama and insincerity, with most interactions being superficial, especially among management. There is a tendency to shift responsibility between departments. Project decisions are often made subjectively by management without any basis in trend analysis or data. There is no focus on developing employee skills, nor are there effective retention strategies. Policies regarding leave and overtime often pressure employees, with the HR department consistently siding with the company. Overall, there is a lack of professionalism in the workplace!

Working at this company was a great start off point for my career. The culture was the best part of my entire experience, this position was 95% Korean or Korean-American; not being from this ethnic background I was already behind the curve but my supply chain team and departments around me always made me feel comfortable. The company always offered a wealth of information about how to company operates and always kept its employees informed on new initiatives about sales, marketing, or other strategic ways to improve the business model.

CJ foods is very unorganized and wasteful. It was probably the worst job I have ever had. I did it for a summer when I moved home and before I went to a semester at UNL. The whole concept of their business is terrible in my opinion. They make dog food for hundreds of companies with only two product lines. So they are always changing up things and cleaning. The whole process of cleaning up after each change in product is the most wasteful part of the process. They waste tones of good meat with each blow down. I will never work there again.

Supervisors need to be trained on floor , to understand how difficult it is to accomplish the high standards they want and demand you to fo per nt shift. If things dont go their waus, they love to take it out on employees that bust their butts, n not think twice about how har employees and temps fo work! Terrivle noght supervisors, all 3! Theres reasons why theycant even kerp hood temps, check their supervisors out first n theywill know, its themnot employees ortemps!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Wasn’t a best part, was all point the finger 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nobody taking responsibility for actions! Was about pointing fingers and blaming others

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic. Everyone was for themselves 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Listen to how badly you performed daily and how you need to do your job

All the ads say it’s a great place to work for and that’s a lie unless your a liar or a tattle tale they hold them on pedestals if your a hard working person and want to be respected as an individual this is not the place for you the paper work is pencil whipped and every thing is cut corners to make more time packing bags nothing is really cleaned just dusted off and go very shady place to work for

Lots of competitors in the area, and low unemployment rate leading to an extremely high turnover rate. Difficulty staffing and offering effective training, which has discouraged many employees from remaining employed there. Lots of opportunities for advancement, but management does not have a hands-on approach to most of these staffing issues. Overall, not a terrible place to work if you are willing to put forth the time and effort.
