Some of the supervisors are good to work with and network, most staff are good, but some ya gotta watch your back like this is high school which is quite ridiculous that amount of drama some people try to start. Overall it was another loop of experience under my belt I'm glad to carry overall, but be expected to do more work than you're qualified for. Since changing management, CEOs and upper management locally, it's not the same and going downhill in my opinion and as a result of COVID-19 recently, that didn't make things any better. Corporate in Ireland and the team however are wonderful, I wish the rest of the company stateside here cared as much as they do. There used to be an anonymous hotline that would go to Corporate, now it's been replaced with numbers to HR and the like within the building instead... Little suspect if you ask me. If you're trying to advance anywhere else other than the Aurora Plant, it's like drawing staws. I'm glad I left with a decent "exiting package", most companies don't offer that so that was an added blessing in disguise, some after me however may not be that lucky.

Low pay considering jobs at other places. High health premiums and deductibles.  If a Temp or Direct Hire, a lot of people quit soon after starting, some within a day or week. High turnover. Each and every day and no matter what line you are assigned, the machine breaks down or doesn’t work properly. Even the Maintenance guys try pot luck to create some fix for the problem but the problem continues. Even the forklift drivers have problems with equipment and are written up for nothing. Don’t believe anything management tells you, especially HR. They make up whatever you want to hear or whatever helps Glanbia. Lots of politics and favoritism. They tell you there will be opportunities to advance, but to where? Last year they patted themselves on the back for streamlining the packing line process and then, just before Christmas, they laid off 25 people so the plant numbers would be right for year. People from other departments had to come to packaging so we could go to lunch. AND THE SMELL, it is really bad. Don’t believe any positive feedback postings. 

Picking department does the most physical and far more work in general than all other forklift operators and are paid the same; which the facility agrees shouldn't be the case. Nobody wants to transfer to the department, and everyone wants to transfer out; which is why department turnover especially is so high.

local HR has been hard to get in touch with over the phone. They seem incompetent and the hiring team keeps hiring people at positions they shouldn't be in just to do the bare minimum and get it over with.

It takes 6 months to get a boot voucher that doesn't even cover full cost of work boots at their partnered store (red wing)

Third shift is a bizarre Mon-Fri shift (usually its Sun-Thurs). Also lateral department transfers is some lengthy process that requires another interview and filling out an application, what a joke.

This company gets you really ramped up on what they do and what you will experience while working there and then once they get you in the truth starts to reveal itself. Poor morale and bad management leads for very rough days. The company screams their culture is all about respect and work life balance but if you are on their payroll, you can just about expect that you will not be treated with respect, value, or have a good work life balance. You can be a stellar employee that works hours of overtime, but if you are 1 minute late OR if you are personally not liked, it seems like you will  be on the fast track to termination. I am glad I got out of there before they could get to me.  I cannot believe the facility management and other upper executives have no idea what is going on inside their plant.

The company overall was great to work for but sadly certain managers were awful to work for. This location lacks managers who care about their employees. The office environment is nice but it's very political and you need to keep your mouth shut in order to keep your job. A lot of things slide since it is a hub office which Corporate should really look into more often. Employees feel scare to report certain situations due to their jobs being threatened. A lot of thing just slide here at this location and this is why the turn over rate will forever be high. I do not recommend working in this location especially for the legal department their manager is a nightmare to work for.

They don’t pay the hard workers what they Deserve and  when you asked for a raise they deny you right away or give it a run around saying I would get back to you in couple weeks but never get back to you at all they paid a sucky people more money for no reason they bring in the temps at the same pay you’re getting after you been They are for years It’s a straight job but don’t expect a lot of money from there they always suck or people into saying they’re going to get more money but never will happen  for instance there was a guy that I’ve been with the company for 18+ years and he asked for a dollar raise and they said no right away so he quit and got a better job

The pay is decent and the work is easy but the environment and lack of policy absolutely kills it. This isn’t a go in and do your job and go home, they are constantly looking for reasons to fire you and encourage a hostile environment. None of the shifts are on the same page, there is no formal training, they preach safety but are cheap about investing in the resources, equipment and PPE to make it safe. And upper management is more worried about saving money to ensure a bigger bonus for themselves than making sure employees have what they need. Forget bringing anything to the attention of HR they don’t care. And they like to make examples out of some people and let others slide for the same occurrences. 

People were good, environment was good, and there is typically a lot of advancement opportunities especially on night shift.  I only left because of how boring I found it.  I can only speak about the cheese side of the building.  I never worked in the warehouse or on whey side.  Most of the positions on the cheese side revolve around monitoring your area on a computer and taking samples.  Its not hard.  I just found it really boring and its not for me at this point in my life. 

Glanbia is a great place to work. Goals are set and my Team is challenged to execute. The fallback is the lack of systematic capabilities to complete the job efficiently. We have created a ton of manual processes and work arounds to meet our daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly goals, I believe since we continually to get the job done, the Executive Team does NOT see the need for the spend on technology to move us in the right direction. Overall Glanbia gives you the opportunity to advance your career.

Great place to work at. Co-workers are like family and management works with you when you are having person problems. Other can talk bad about the company but there is no other company that cares about their employees as Glanbia. If you show up to work with a positive attitude, you will get somewhere. The sky is the limit when it comes to moving up in the company. I have seen machine operators become supervisors in a short time. Put in the work and you will get rewarded. Great benefits, especially PTO, very generous! I had great memories working there which I will always cherish.
