Fruit of the Earth

This place ran more like a family than a business. They cared about you depending on your last name. There were no advancements based on hard work or tenacity. You had to fight for a raise (if you ever got one) and provide evidence of why you needed one, though there were never any clear directions on exactly what your job was. God forbid the cost of living had gone up in DFW, you wouldn’t be financially compensated. You might have been hired on for one thing and would end up doing something completely out of your expertise, which is why I now understand why they never gave titles to people because you really did a little of everything. You either sink or swim. There was absolutely zero training when i was hired on so be prepared to teach yourself and learn anything and everything you can about the business, which was many layers and multi faceted. I came to realize that there were only 1-2 people from each department that actually would help you in corporate. The work environment was okay and for the most part, people were friendly. Most everyone was kind and it was a fun place to come in to for a 7-4 job (lots of wonderful and very smart people from different backgrounds), but you weren’t rewarded for your hard work, which was very disappointing. Lots of gossip in the HR office and amongst some of the so-called “leaders”, which I found to be completely unprofessional. The shipping team may have been on top of getting things out the door, but they were mean, degrading, and cruel to some of their subordinates, which I witnessed firsthand. It seemed like everyone worked for someone else, rather than as a team. Some people in bigger rolls were demeaning and demanding and if you were under them, you really couldn’t go to them to say much if their was an issue because not only would nothing ever be done about it, but it would be used against you later and spread amongst the office. I think this was mainly due to the lack of professionalism stemming from HR. Everywhere I have worked in the past, HR does not leave their door open and yap about people’s personal business aloud so the entire office could hear. Benefits were incredible. 401k matching was disappointing, but their insurance helped to compensate for that. Overall, this place was what you made it. I learned a lot to be used elsewhere, where I am now more valued and utilized.

I’ll take that back, the company may not be terrible but the people at the Texas location are terrible. The management is beyond terrible they don’t know what they’re doing they overwork the employees and have unrealistic goals set for daily work needs. This place is always behind on the work so expect to work 12hrs everyday including on Saturday’s when you’re suppose to be off. On many occasions you deal with ignorant racist employees, and if you tell HR they won’t do anything about it the only thing that does is make management harass you. The supervisors and leads are a joke they literally spend the whole shift gossiping about the leads and forklift drivers I’ve heard nothing but negative comments about other employees all day and i speak of this simply because I was a lead I heard everything they said about the employees which I won’t say what specifically because it was that harsh. If the location had people that actually knew what they were doing and not so negative I’m sure it would be a good place to work and people wouldn’t mind getting the hours but when you’re constantly being pushed and pushed to meet unrealistic goals errors will happen. I would never work for this company again and intend on taking further action with certain issues I have dealt with while working for this company. Apply at your own risk and you’ll see exactly what many people have said about this company.

This company provides great job security and is not terribly demanding; although, compensation in the form of raises to offset cost of living increases and responsibilities leaves something to be desired.  The company has done well to make the individual feel as though he/she is part of a family.  Offering seminars to help with personal growth and productivity, as well as, free lunches and company outings for a few holidays.  I have enjoyed working with the majority of people here, they are fun and most have a good sense of humor that breaks the monotony and seriousness.  The managers are understanding of individual needs and are willing to work with those who are in troubling situations.

 Good place to work. You get a fair amount of time off, including extra paid holiday time off during Christmas. 
Just like any other manufacturing place, don't get involved with interpersonal drama. Just go to work and go home. There are regular schedules with expected busy times and expected slow days. 
HR, just like any other place, is looking out for the company, not the people working there. Just like everywhere else. There's cliques between departments and within the departments. But it's fair pay with fair expectations and compensation for efforts. 
A good stable job, as long as you're working for the company and not through the temp agency.

Is a good place to work, but hardship on giving raises, if I have to rating probably a 2.5. The management is so bad, especially you can’t park your car in front, they will tow you car away. 

The commitment to quality and excellence is evident in everything we do. I can see this in formulating products in-house and rigorous testing and quality control processes. I adore this company for ensuring that only the best products reach our customers. Best job ever! My coworkers are also nice. Adding to that, our leaders show us respect.

FOTE makes wonderful skincare products. Unfortunately as our sales and distribution have grown leaps and bounds over the past 9 years the internal infrastructure has stayed the same. The are no additional resources for sales support or product development.

Our diverse product portfolio constantly inspires creativity and innovation in my work. From skincare to home and bath & body products, there's always something new and exciting to explore. It's rewarding to be part of a company that continually seeks to enhance its offerings and stay at the forefront of the industry.

The family orientated business has its positives versus working for a large corporation.  And also, it's negatives but those issues seem to be improving somewhat.  I am happy with my level of improvement/promotional opportunities given to me from going over and beyond expectations for several years in a previous role.
