Clasen Quality Chocolate

Training was terrible and was performed by people who didn't look out for the best interest of the trainee.  A lot of information is crammed into your brain during that time.  You have 14 working days to learn the job and once completed you will have to pass a test to become certified.  Your success at Clasen's greatly depends on your ability to learn quickly (especially with computers) and how good of a trainer you have.... which is few and far between.  Good luck!

Upper management was great.  Supervisors, not so much.  They will talk down to you any chance they get.  Lot's of favoritism.     

Workplace culture was horrible.  As a new employee it was difficult to fit in with all the cliques.  Overall it's an unfriendly, selfish, and toxic environment.  Little patience and tolerance for the new employee's lack of experience.  The senior employees quickly forgot that at one time they were new too.  

With all that aside, you do make really good money here.  Benefits are pretty good.  But be warned that if you don't meet certain yearly health requirements, you will be paying more for health insurance.  And expect to work lots of hours in the few months leading up to Thanksgiving and Christmas.  You also get a yearly attendance and end of year bonus.  

I was an IT Business Analyst Intern. First, people at Clasen are genuinely some of the nicest people you'll meet. They were all extremely welcoming and willing to answer any questions I had. If you have the pleasure of interning at Clasen, I highly suggest meeting/shadowing as many people as you can. The summer is really a chance for them to see if you would be a good fit for the company and if the company is a good fit for you. With this in mind, they are give you very hands on work and projects that actually matter. Your managers have a very hands off approach but are always there to help and provide advice. I think my favorite thing was that it was a safe place to make mistakes and learn from them. Overall, great place to work.

This company does not care about any of their employees. They only care about numbers. Everyone that I worked with dislikes this place but stay for the money. There are constant injuries in this facility. They will fill out incident reports but will not tend to your injuries. Their attendance policy is a joke four points and your done. They have no compassion for your illness. You get a point for each day that is missed so if you are sick make sure you go to work. This place has a very high turn over.  I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Money is good but overall not worth it.

If you want a job where managers and supervisors micromanage every aspect of you job on the floor and over surveillance cameras that see every square inch of the building but the front offices, this is the place for you!
A few keywords: forced overtime, constant surveillance ( two cameras in the break room), toxic environment produce by management, very little training, micromanaged, blame game, writeup happy, wasteful.
Benefits are a little better than most places, but it doesn't make up for the toxicity. 

Little to no training, which means no advancement. Brain dead work, rarely get to use any cognitive functions. The overtime policy is you WILL volunteer to work on your scheduled day off or you WILL be mandated to work. So they take away your day off and when you arrive, have nothing for you to do. It was just your turn to  be mandated. I have literally been told to "find something to clean and look busy for a few hours"!
Supers and managers do usually treat the people well.

It's factory work. It's not glamorous, but it's a solid job that pays well. The workers there actually care about the job they do. They take pride in a job well done. Management is relaxed and is easy to work with. All management and support staff have an open door policy. Yes, the hours are long. You're well compensated for your time. Any mandated or volunteer overtime pays double time. There is room for growth, but you need to seek it out.
