What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff is great, especially the plant manager is very supportive.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The maintenance department needs at least more than a year before turning things around. Short of staff, newly hired mechanics have no basic skills and no sense of urgency. Safety is a great concern for the floor employees. The VPs dictate the time to get things done and if you do not agree you are gone. I proposed to fix the broken equipment I inherited before starting my robust preventive maintenance plan, I was good enough to be gone. You can't disagree with the VPs. They know better than everyone.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The staff is great, but a robust training plan is needed. Safety is at a guessing level.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, I felt I was alone in my department. I burnt out, trying to do others' jobs.

1. Every night I mixed pancake batter in a machine by making Kelloggs pancake products
2. What I have learned at work is that you really have to be careful on what you press when you operate the touch screen machine and never forget your ingredients
3. As far as management, I have a down to earth supervisor that knows how to direct how we work product at night
4. The hardest part of the job is trying to communicate get the forklift driver to give me ingredients in the mixing room
5. The most enjoyable part of the job is I can take my time on making the ingredients for my pancakes

The only good thing about this job is probably the guaranteed 40 hours a week, always plenty of opportunity for overtime as well. The jobs are pretty easy especially in the production areas. You're not gonna work too hard anywhere. A lot of people tend to get stuck here because of the hours. As a 2nd shift employee it really sucks because its your whole entire day spent at the job. The pay is terrible, especially for operators, and management knows this and continues not to do anything about it.

I ran the machines, we made pancakes and waffles. I learned how to operate a machine within a weeks time. Supervisors was very serious about there job and always on top of everything. My co-workers was awesome we worked as a team. The hardest part about the job was being able to still run the machines with hard product if its not right. The machines could malfunction. The most enjoyable part of the job was still being able to run the machine while making sure that the product was right and we all worked as team.

Most enjoyable part of my job is driving forklifts during the job itself for me is therapeutic our job is pretty much repetitive if you do the same thing everyday depending on what type of person you are it not a bad thing management staff is slacking on people skills they're not inviting not very friendly job is stressful hostile work environment I pretty much want to stay by myself great pay great hours a whole bunch of overtime and plenty of benefits

The professionalism of the company

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
learning the new things that come with running the programs 


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
professional and very fun to be around the staff

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I would come in at a reasonable time, perform my task, assist my co workers with their task.

We were not given adequate hazard pay at the beginning of the pandemic. Many, many people became sick and on several occasions people were coming to work sick and the job did very little to notify people of what was going on. Management also did nothing to fill open positions and often overworked the people in them like making them work six days a week. Machines often messed up, making you have to troubleshoot because maintenance often did not want to be bothered. 

Not a good place to work! Management does not relate to employees well. Slave mentality. Pay is decent but expectations are too high for pay scales. Management has taken away annual COLA and doles out raises when they see fit! Promotions and upward movement are based on favorability not merit, seniority, or employee knowledge and awareness to reach metrics.

De wafelbakkers is a great place to work I love the relaxing environment along with the fast-paced production management was wonderful supervisors door was always open

there is a steep learning curve on the line and you have to be willing to push yourself to be faster but there is alot of overtime to be had with well balanced breaks just dont hold out for a promotion and beware of the gossip and rumors that floats around as they are landmine waiting to blow.
