Carolina Foods Inc.

I have absolutely nothing good to say about Carolina foods. I’ve worked here for 2 years and everyday you feel like something is off. That’s because it is. The managers and supervisors leads all corrupt. They try and find things to write you up for whether you did or didn’t do anything. They are not truthful about how vacation days work. No time off. And they are not courteous about you having to go to the hospital for anything. It’s a large turnover rate. I’ve seen 23 people come and go from the position I’ve worked. They are not good at training. When you learn you pretty much have to figure it out on your own. The leads do not lead by example and neither does the supervisors. Find any other job. Carolina foods is not the place to apply. You can apply at McDonalds and get paid more with better benefits with your vacation you can accumulate. And you can’t accumulate any personal time or sick time working with Carolina foods 

There are some good things about the company, theyre trying to update the manufacturing systems and communications, in the past they were very outdated in every aspect due to the business being family owned and the owner not wanting to spend money to update things, and in the past entry level employees made barely above minimum wage - one employee made 9/hour after 20 years working there- BUT there are some brilliant minds there and thats whay the company has lasted so long, and theyre currently working to improve with the corporate new ownership, and there are a lot of nice people working there I definitely miss. And I greatly enjoyed working on the manuals and in sanitation. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
It's OK if you want to work 7 days a week and your pay stays the same. They will tell you what you want to hear to get you on the job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything stressful and you never feel like you are appreciated 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Always working where the ones the supervisor likes gets away with hardly working and still getting paid.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long and stressful trying to get the job done where others stay in the supervisor's office with the supervisor.

If your  a lazy mother f and complain 
about this job.then you have never truly had a f upped job .I work nights in maintenance. With good people. No one bothers me. Its fast paced.pays decent. If you want to sit on your lazy azz  and collect. Not for you. If you are a grown up.and want to earn your keep. This place is fine to work for. My supervisors are good talented people. With good attitudes .I expect I'll be working here for many years to come.

At Carolina foods the pace was  quick and tasks had to be complete on time.
Working with food help me to learn more about allergens and proper cleaning.
Working with men and women of different cultures and beliefs allowed me to observe and learn how to communicate positively with people from many places.
Nothing for me was hard at Carolina Foods.
What i enjoyed most was the opportunity to learn more on bread dough and different ways to utilize it.

The majority of the hourly employees as well as some of the supervisors and managers care about their jobs but the general morale is poor and ownership provides little to no support.  Company ownership is unwilling to invest in the company until things are literally falling apart at the seams. Pay rates are one of the main contributors to the high turnover, they are not competitive. The owner will deduct money from even hourly employees checks if a mistake is made that costs him money.

Owner is old school and puts the profits into his pocket intead of back into the company. Racism and discrimination are rampant. The factory is a literal sweat shop. In the summer, temps can get close to 100 degrees with just a fan running. Most employees are probably not legally allowed to work in US. Most do not speak any english. It would be interesting to see OSHA visit, place would probably shut down.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Leaving. There is nothing good about this place.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being employed by them is the start of the problem.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Trash. there is nothing else to say.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
wake up. Regret. go to this place hate life more.

Supportive management. They care and appreciate the good suggestions. Management tries to accommodate employees' personnel life schedule. I was able to attend the school with incredible support from the management. 
Lot to learn every day. Great potential to advance for prospective employees. Love to work here. Very diverse group and co-workers treat each other like family.

The owner is a money hungry, very rude person. The facility is absolutely disgusting. I honestly can not believe that the health board has not shut him down. The maintenance manager was/is a completely rude and bitter older man. The maintenance department in a whole is very under qualified and likes to take every short cut in the book. Awful work conditions and awful leadership.
