Caviness Beef Packers

My coworkers made the job worth it. Your hands will hurt every day. They tell you it gets better but I worked there for three years and it never got better I just got used to it. If you get hurt they would rather you not report it and keep working. A lot of times employees would do the work of 2-3 people without compensation. Management definitely took advantage of the workers and pushed them to their absolute limits. It is a tough work environment and not everyone lasts. I enjoyed my job and I became good at what I did but the lack of compensation and no work life balance was enough to make me leave. I know there were some positions that did get compensated fairly however employees who showed skill did get more work assigned and harder work assigned.

Horrible demoralizing atmosphere. Walls are a grim grey color with no personality, no windows, and the eating area was overcrowded with people. One would come in at 6 in the morning to the smell of dead carcass, and could expect to work until 5:30 in the afternoon depending on that day’s schedule. Which in all reality was the only way one could make a decent paycheck. (6 days a week/11.5 hr shifts). Many times overworked due to the company’s inability to retain employees. Management showed no support or opportunities for advancement, and would hand out promotions based on favoritism rather than work ethic. (Except for a few who were shunned for actually being decent managers). Employees had to stay as late as needed to get through all the work, while upper management left whenever they pleased.

I have been here for nearly five years. There are a lot of lazy people working here. Maintenance ,
quality control, and safety are the worst. Too many people walking around doing nothing . This place needs trainers.This place is terrible about turnover. Most people do not last three months. I think the main reason for that is because they hire youg people who really do no not want to work. It also seems like the supervisors do not care at times.  I do not blame the manager. The hours get long. Sixty three hours a week. It kind of hurts family time. The pay is o k.

I did enjoy working here until all the nonsense starting happening. I would work very hard to impress my superiors but when I needed a day off it would be a hassle to get it approved. Once in a blue month I would wake up late (15min late) and still show up to work but still HR wanted me to call in 2 hours before my shift how does that make sense. Call in 2 hours before your shift to say your going to be late 15 minutes due to overslept but you live near by. Bunch of Favoritism going around.

Go in the morning and just stand for 11-12hrs on your feet was no hassel to me. learned how to cut meat. Management was not good they try to use you, and when you have family situation and you ask off like three days before they still won't give you off without a rid up. my co-workers were like family they helped as well as I helped. there really was no hard part but the part that was kind of hard was the knife to keep it with a good edge. There really wasn't nothing enjoyable about that job but the pay.

I learned from my coworkers an working as a team. An I enjoy working with others learning new idea's, an letting me to also listend to idea's dat I can provided. An to me it's called team work

12hr. Shifts 6 days a week. Very high demanding. If you show you can complete the task they will add more.

It’s a fast paced place to work with a lot to get done during the day. You’re on your feet for 9+ hours on concrete floors. Some people get moved to different jobs throughout the day. You get one 15 minute break in the morning and then a 30 minute lunch. Then you’re back on the floor for the rest of your shift. It’s great pay but tough on the body if you’ve never done it before

I ENJOY LEARNING ACCOUNTS PAYABLES.  EVERY MORNING THE FIRST THING THAT I DO WAS AN INVENTORY RECONCILIATION. DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO WRITE.  MY REGULAR DUTIES WERE TO REVIEW/CHECK THE CLERKS REPORTS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS IN ORDER BEFORE WE SEND THE REPORTS TO CORPORATE.  THE HARDEST PART OF THE JOB IS DEALING WITH THE DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES OF THE PEOPLE AND THE JOB ETHICS.
