Choosing the wiser, I arrived at work 30 minutes before my shift in order to organize my workstation, conduct a briefing with the 1st shift team leader and assigned mechanic, and also to consult with my supervisor on the day's duties. My daily overall mission was to oversee my crew members' through to perform the highest productivity to our best abilities (averaging 92%+ daily attainment), track and document daily logistics, and keep open communication with each staff member (supervisors, QA team, USDA, fellow leaders etc) to ensure we're working as a unit with the same goals in mind. At Fieldale, I had the opportunity of "fine tuning" my leadership skills, how to lead my team with honesty, equality and victoriously. I now also possess the knowledge of shipping/receiving, and stronger, more resilient communication skills and critical thinking/execution skills.I admired the fact that Fieldale Coproration handled employees' health and safety with priority care. As far as management and my co-workers, I gave respect and clarity to each situation and, therefore, received positive results and honest help. There was nothing in my prior position that I found overly difficult. The most enjoyable part of my job was giving each day my very best shot and leaving work feeling fulfilled and accomplished.

I worked here for 6 months. It stays cold inside which seems nice but you end up getting sick. I got bronchittis 3 times and had to pay for it myself because the insurance sucks. They will work you until your whole body is in pain, they shout GO GO GO, hands so overworked you wake up at night in terrible pain and forget about reporting it, they send you to the nurse who just puts ice on it and sends you back to work and god forbid you get hurt bad enough you feel you need a doctor because they will fire you for filing workers comp claim. Workers are afraid to say anything because of this because many of us are here on work visa and cant afford to loose our job. They also make you hold if you have to go to batchroom, some people started wering diapers it was so bad. I would only do this job for last resort and do not stop looking for job. I did have nice supervisor but corporate office always tell him what to do.

The company is like every where you have drama and work place politics , overalls it's a great job your not going to get rich by no means but it's a tolerable job potential career ,it's laid back easy going so long as you keep to yourself and mind your business . There definitely isn't room for advancement if that's what you're looking for I would try to look elsewhere ,they provide a decent living wage pay is time and a half , you get overtime occasionally it's kinda like they have to like you or someone goes on vacation or quits ,it's a revolving door sometimes exspecially in receiving they will start you out at the same pay no raises ,no ignitiative to try harder lots of lazy people , just plain lazy they literally sleep and no disciplinary action is taken I would say if you're lazy don't mind just a job this is your place ! 


I began my day by attend a coordination meeting for scheduling. For what we will run for the day. I take notes for rest of the Supervisors and team leaders on the products we will run and things that are a must do, before our shift is over. Then I take my schedule and make copies for the rest of my team to have, to see what is going on for our shift. I was a Qc for two years and Lead as well, then i because a Supervisor for raw production area. I had no idea about this area nor how to run the machines. I learned these machines and taught myself how to run them. And taught my leads things that they didnt know. I enjoy working with my team very much. We help each other out to make things easier, and you can accomplish more and it's successful working together then working against each other. And the best part of the job would have to be. Without a doubt the people I work with. Everyone is always ready to help and encourage one another.

Is ok place to work if you need a job but the management is terrible. The pay is ok could be better. If you have a life outside of work like a family, kids, etc. You won't have one if you are employed with this company. The company is working 6 days a week. The insurance the company provides is mandatory to have to be employed there or with the company, is expensive and isn't that great. You get paid holidays but the company only observe's 2 of the holidayswhich onlyThanksgiving day and Christmas day. They pay the employees holiday pay but you have to work on the holidays except for Thanksgiving day and Christmas Day but you get paid for the holidays they observe. The management is terrible and some of the employees areally hard to work with. Lots of Drama.

I recently made the switch from another major manufacturing company in Gainesville GA. to fieldale in murrayville. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. As long as you have a positive attitude and exceptional work ethic, you will be very happy with this company. Insurance benefits started on day one for me and nowadays that is a huge plus. I was hired on as a full-time employee with all the benefits that come with it. My supervisors have been amazing and I can tell that they really care about all of the workers. They teach you everything and treat their newcomers unlike most manufacturing plants. You work hard every day and go home tired but not too tired to enjoy your life and family. A+++++ company.

They have good benefits for a poultry plant. But the management is biased in a lot of instances, it depends on who you know and your supervisor's personal feelings about you, not the quality of your work or how well you know your job and product. Nepotism is common and makes advancement even more difficult for non family members. But poultry plants are a tough career choice, it's not for everyone.

I would definitely go back when I am able to I live hr all supervisors line leaders and employees are wonderful caring best place to work overall I recommend this job to anyone that wants a good career it's never a dull moment it keeps you on your feet at all times the teams and departments are all wonderful you can never run out of nothing to do it's always something to do they offer weekends for those who want to work weekends for good over time hours you have the opportunity to make what you want you control your own check the offer pay cards medical start the day you were hired so no waiting they have their own doctors office at two locations it's really a super place to work clean sanitized.
