Gardner Pie Company

The company has seen a definite downward trend since the new generation of the owning family took over and hired someone from outside the company as Plant Manager. People do not feel listened to, very limited opportunity for personal growth, long hours, and lower than average pay. Was told when I discussed professionally that I would need to get a second job to support my family since I could not do so just working there (even when averaging 45 hours a week at minimum) that I ‘had to do what I had to do.’

This was my worse employment experience. Very unorganized management team which result in unnecessary extended days. This job consumes your life. Extremely unprofessional supervisors who use derogatory and profane language towards their employees. Absolutely no respect to the work force. Old employees pick on new employees

What is the best part of working at the company?
The friends that I made, discount on pies!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You have a certain quota that needs to be met and the machines are always breaking down.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It is family owned so therefore you are always going to be just a number because the family are thee only ones that matter!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful and tiresome! It is a very physically demanding job!

This job is absolutely terrible! The upper management doesn't care about the employees at all. Upper management doesn't care what you have to say and most of the time completely avoid talking to you. The employees are just numbers to them and nothing more.  The machines break down all the time, and are usually down for hours. You are told that you will be off work by a certain time, but what they don't tell you is that you have to get the whole order done even if that means keeping you there until it is done. Along with the hours, you only get two breaks even if you are working hours over.  

A good company overall.  Ownership and most of upper management are excellent.  Horrific hires in key roles, such as leads and entry level managers, are but one of a multitude of drags on the company.  Issues with an ambitious expansion project have caused some customers to pull business, as well as one larger customer, causing unrest within a stressed workforce.  HR is a disaster that plays to those who curry favor. However, if you have a face, they will hire you 

Toxic work place with no accountabilty. Human resources panders to employees that do not perform their basic job duties. Upper management is out of touch and has no clue how to implement processes to become a real manufacturing facility that produces. A company that tried to take the next growth step but cannot put it into action and refuses to listen to experienced advice. Sales team is a joke. 

This has been one of the best places I have ever worked. You can tell that leadership and management truly care about the team and the company.  I appreciate that there is an open door policy, and that any issues or concerns are addressed in a timely manner. There is opportunity for team members to gain new skills and see an increase on their earnings as a result. 

Great place to work with a good and fun atmosphere. Lots of fellow employees will to help and work to get the job done. Management easy to talk to and great open door policy. Management willing to get dirty and help out when things get crazy and willing to listen to ideas and suggestions. 

It was not a good place to work for, management didn’t really care about the employees. Didn’t understand work/life balance. It’s dirty, they didn’t really deep clean anything, the conveyor belts were moldy. The culture was very high school, very immature, even the management was very childish. 

Overall I really enjoyed my time there and was sad to leave. Owners and employees truly care about the success of the business and believe in the product. I feel that once they get the right people in the right positions, they will continue to be an incredible company and asset to the community.
