Georgia Nut Company

This is a family owned company. Ive worked at GNC for a while now. There are days where the plant is busy or just slow. It just depends on the day. I learned to use emails well.. emails will save your life here. If you can communicate well, you will survive. Other tips are being to work on time. They have a weird point system that can easily get you fired. This is not a place to make bff's and confide in people. People will back stab you and throw you under the bus when convenient. Others likes to make rumors and ruin your reputation. Some people are trustworthy but it is hard to find that here. When I first stated working at GNC I hated it. But now, I am able to fish through the loops and enjoy work. I have a couple of people including people in my department that makes work fun which helps with the time going by fast. The company can be a bit disorganizing where it can be frustrating to some but it is doable if you have a drive to succeed. If you can be positive then it will be fine to work here. The pay is not that great, especially since some departments does lots of work that does not account for the pay. My advice to anyone who wants to work here is..."Lead and they will follow."

A typical day at work, I worked 11pm to 7am. At times I worked worked till 8am or 9am or till the time they needed me. I was a Machine Operator. We were always short handed because alot of people didnt like working that shift. Especially on the weekend. I was in charge of the operation of the machine, prepares changing the film, putting product in the machine figuring out where and y the product is jammed. Cleaning the machine depending on the product we will be working with. I helped out on the line, palletizing prepare  the merchmerchandise that is going out. Train people on how to make the pallet, wherever I was needed i was there making sure the job being done rite. Also, making sure we met our quota. Towards the end of the shift paper work needed to be done and compare it with the team leaders paper work (balancing out).

Overall it was a Great learning experience, I learned to be extremely efficient, also I liked liked that the day was was so busy that things went by smoothly besides they have great benefits and I really enjoyed working there, it's a great place to work and is actually family oriented. My only problems were that the someone I worked with kind of got to up and personal sometimes and got away with a lot for example one time I had got hit with a bowl liquid sugar because some guy I was working with took it as a joke and got some reason they couldn't define who was telling the truth. Another problem with this company is that I was let go on a Sunday and they told me I was supposed to work but there was no communication from my supervisor from the kitchen clerk department. So I was in the situation where I felt like I was treated unfairly but overall the company is pretty good enjoyed working there. 



I worked here for a while. No raises. Management is only their to intimidate and emasculate you. Work loads are unreasonable. Someone else talked about how much weight only to people have to do wich is true. Very dangerous way to clean machines. Tons of migrant day labers who don't speak English. Who are desperate to work at any pay or any condition. Although its a 8 hour shift you will be squeezed to produced product. Due to how much we are expected to produced in a day we lose quality and due to quality we miss quota. And get written up. I feel bad for anyone who is partners or is a contractor for this company because due to how much we work quality is sacrificed and their is so much lack of quality. Its not the workers. We care about quality. But its the ceo who wants a big paycheck who makes us work to death and we can't focus on quality because of how much we need to produce. 

I can't say more positive things about working at Georgia Nut. The family atmosphere and culture is palpable the minute I walk into the building. My team is very supportive, collaborative, and is always willing to assist when need be. Coming from a corporate environment and being new to the manufacturing/foods industry I feel like I get to learn something new everyday, while keeping me challenged and incentivized. Executive management is visible to all levels of the company and is always pushing for new ways to promote employee growth and company innovation. The workforce is also very diverse which has been a great way to learn about varying working styles. Love Georgia Nut!

This is a tolerable place to earn a paycheck but nothing more.  Physical and repetitive work, mostly in the heat, with hairnet, hardhat, full scrubs required.  Very difficult to get your job done while following all the company rules, which are constantly changing.  Raises are mere inflation raises.  Company pays 15 dollars an hour, with 50 cent shift differential.  Overtime required in most positions.  Lately they have been giving an extra 2.50 per hour bonus for those who show up on time for all their scheduled shifts in a given week.  They do stuff like that now and again to try to keep people coming in; this is very much a "revolving door" company, most people quit or get fired in short order.

If your family you will succeed and go far here but if you’re not family or connected to them you go nowhere .  They don’t follow their own motto and do as they say to say do but expect employees to follow them .  And their culture is awful and they have the worst people involved in the culture who have no idea what the culture should actually be about .  Realization of people coming to work to want to do their job instead of playing games is something they don’t understand . There are many people there that are amazing and do great jobs but they will never be told that and the people who do the bare minimum will succeed and advance because of their connection to the family. This isn’t a business I would ever want to associate with again!

My typical day at work would start of with my daily rounds that would consist of checking high pressure steam boiler system and chilled water refrigeration systems for proper working operations. I also monitored and recorded data. I would also perform PM checks and made repairs to H.V.A.C./R. Equipment.
What I learned at this facility was a vast experience within the food industry such H.A.C.C.P. and P.P.E.
Management was okay. work place culture was changing due to transition of new management. The hard part of the job was working with the high pressure steam and the most enjoyable part of the job was working with my co-workers due to the fact that everybody always lend ah helping hand.

The pay they acknowledge and reward you. Real good perk a d give you extras money just for coming to work on time great company I've have gotten gift cards for doing extra duties

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
