FPL Food, LLC

Starting with the company over 7 years ago in an hourly position gave me tremendous opportunity to grow. I started as a tech and now a manager. The changes in the  buying and selling of cattle taught me many things about the demands of beef, quality and also profit and loss for the company. Myself and several other employees of the company were responsible for being the eyes and ears of the company. I was responsible for what consumers purchased, prepared for their families to eat and the proper handling of livestock. If product didn't meet a certain standard than it would be placed on hold until it could or even disposed of to prevent harm or health related concerns. I worked along the sides of many skilled persons to make sure the product that was produced and distributed was suitable to feed our families, friends and others. Learning new things was always a true benefit. The world is constantly changing and we should be on the same path for growth to exceed. Although, stopping production caused some frustrations for others, it gave me the ability to teach and educate others about what the company's expectations were.

A typical day at work is you doing the same repetitive task all day long. I personally have not learned anything new working here other than how to pack meat. The management just absolutely sucks. It is so hard for people to advance if they are not favored or liked by management. There are people who are more qualified for the advanced position, but because of who they are and if they don’t kiss a**, they won’t get it. The hardest part about the job is not being able to have doctors notes excuse an absence and not even be able to acquire any PTO until working there a full year. The work itself basically does it self. The only thing enjoyable about working there is the people you work with.

It’s a great job to work at if you need fast money and you need to stack up for a minute. It’s good long term if you don’t have a family and kids or if you have help with said family and kids. They work 6-7 days a week and if you’re on night shift, you’re basically not gonna have a life outside of work. Depending on the line you work at it, it’s pretty easy to move up in ranking, but once you get to a certain level there isn’t really anywhere else you can move for a good minute. Management is ok, hypocritical at times and you’re not really gonna get recognized but for the work you do and you’re gonna hear a lot of complaining coming from literally any and everywhere no matter how hard you work.

This is a horrible place to work. They don't want to give you a raise even though you deserve one unless you are Spanish. A lot of favoritism. They work you hard and give you short breaks. The supervisors have no respect and will curse you out. And since its a private company they can fire you for no reason and you can't even get unemployment. Doesn't matter how long you work there they will fire you for anything. No job security. Only good thing about this job is if you're a felon they well hire you and you get a lot of hours but they are very disrespectful.

All they care about is their bottom dollar. They are not concerned with home/life balance and they are of the mentality that when one person quits, another one will be hired, so they don’t care if employees stay for a while. They aren’t concerned and have no plans to try to fix the turnaround rate. Production workers are a dime a dozen and in their opinion aren’t even worth the bodily fluids that they get covered in daily.
