I accepted the QA Supervisor position with enthusiasm, bringing a Bachelor of Science in Food Science and Food Safety, USDA regulatory experience, HACCP certification, and a strong track record of dependability and leadership. My professional background includes regulatory inspection, training large groups, and operating within environments where compliance, accountability, and professionalism are foundational. Unfortunately, my experience at this organization did not reflect those same professional standards. From the outset, there was a noticeable lack of structured onboarding, leadership training, and operational alignment for supervisory roles. It became clear that the QA department had operated without consistent oversight for an extended period, which created challenges in implementing accountability, reinforcing standard operating procedures, and establishing clear leadership expectations. Additionally, the workplace culture often lacked the professionalism expected in a regulated food production environment. Interactions with Human Resources and leadership at times reflected a casual and informal tone that did not align with the seriousness and objectivity required to support effective leadership and organizational integrity. Rather than serving as a neutral support structure, HR frequently functioned in a manner that did not provide balanced support for supervisory authority. As someone with formal education in food safety, regulatory exposure, and leadership experience, I believe strongly that employee success depends on clear training, consistent expectations, and organizational support. Without those elements, it becomes difficult for supervisors to effectively lead teams or drive meaningful operational improvements. This role provided valuable insight into the importance of organizational structure, leadership development, and professional accountability. I remain committed to contributing to environments that prioritize training, regulatory excellence, and a culture of professionalism.

Long hours during the corn beef season, 7 days a week 12 hrs a day from Jan-Mar.  Production management really dont care about the employees outside of how much they can produce.  They talk, in management meetings, about the employees but dont really care.  Production (Greeley) management is horrible.  Compensation was decent as a was a manager but hourly employees aren't paid very well.  QA management was about the only good thing at the facility, at least upper management.  A lot of under qualified personnel and very cliquish, especially with Production (Supervisors and Manager).

I worked for this company for roughly two years. Colorado Premium has the lack of hiring within the company. Promotions for supervisors where never given to workers. I was once told they assumed that no one was capable of being a supervisor there. Upper management was always hard to find, they didn’t know how to deal with situations correctly. They had uneducated managers and supervisors based on machinery. There workers are very underpaid. I don’t have anything nice to say about this company due to my experience being here.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long,boring,repetitive days in a freezing cold environment

My job was repeated everyday. I learned to operate other machines that wasn't on my line when i was done with my orders. It was the type of place where the more you learned the valuable you became to the company an the more money you could make. I truly enjoyed my supervisors. Very understanding people if it came down to my kids missed the bus. An i got to work overtime overtime.

Some members of management are great, some are inefficient. Days are exceptionally long, often with too high of a workload for one person. Lower-level managers and leads have work thrust upon them for managers two to three tiers above them. The company is very repeatedly caught for people working off the clock.
