Work isn't a problem. It's simple, you're usually just cleaning the same areas every night. 6 hours each shift is fine, but there's a 10-hour-long Sunday night shift that you're required to sit through, even if you finish your work early. You have to wait for Quality Control to show up and swab everything. If they're ever running late for any reason, your time gets wasted because of it. No real opportunities to move up. I tried a higher position and did not like it. Asked for a change in my schedule and they never did it. For the 4 years I've been there they never changed it. I gave them better ideas for a schedule and they never took it into consideration. I asked them to at least make me a part-timer or something and they told me no every time. The lunch isn't great. It's just the stuff that day shift doesn't want to eat. Overall would not recommend unless you really have no better options. Pay was good, but production got higher pay over the years and Sanitation didn't get any. Hard work does not pay off here.

Aside from being a really stressful environment , no communication at all . It was like being in highschool again so much drama even the supervisors and leads were apart of . H.R’s being hired every other semester wasn’t helping either . Pay was not good one bit so much mandatory overtime but what’s overtime without pay ? They need new equipment for a fact constantly breaking down resulting in longer nights . Sanitation is disgusting , there porters don’t clean nothing right and aren’t even trained properly , usda is constantly holding equipment for them not cleaning them right resulting in the work being 5x harder . They always order Ppe late or sometimes don’t even have it , They try to have you work without Ppe and don’t care about your well being and haccp . There main priorities are there orders didn’t matter if it was raw or too over cooked they got it out quantity over quality . One of the most disgusting places I’ve ever worked . Can’t forget the neglect the catchers behind the grills get no water break and using the restroom there is like committing a crime . 

There's a lot you would never know about this company till you actually start working here. There is a lot they will never tell you about your roles and responsibilities till you actually start the work. Very abusive type of work. There is so much confusion in this company that nobody ever really knows what to do or the boundaries of their job. So much hypocrisy, fear, and secrets. Managers will lie just to keep their job even at the expense of their subordinates. My advice for anyone considering a job here is to keep applying for other jobs even while you are working here. It is a temp type of job with very little job security. They overwork their staff because they can't find people who will accept to work under such conditions for less than minimum wage. Plus employees usually get fed up and leave for better jobs.

The top management is abusive. Unprofessional behavior is the norm. Everything is lies that comes out of there mouth. They act one way in the beginning and then turn on you . They try to make fun of you for things that you are not in charge of . That's how disconnected they are. Your asked a question in a meeting and yield at before you can explain what actually happened. Best part is you weren't on site at the time. This happened on a different shift from yours. They add and add more till you can't possibly dig out . They want to run and run while the equipment needs service. Everything is later or on the weekend. Then they say o by the way we are running this weekend. There is no good qualities except for some employees that are just exceptional good people and work hard .

I would recommend this job to any entry level customer service rep. Very nice people to work with. The workload can be heavy at times, but it is not difficult to grasp the concept of. You definitely have to decipher problems that may come your way, meaning use your common sense to determine how to resolve issues. 

Depending on your position and education level, you cannot expect much growth. This is definitely a job that is easy to get comfortable with. This company is definitely in favor of saving money, so they will not invest in anyone or anything that does not come off as lucrative highly in their own favor, which is how most thriving businesses are for the most part.

Wish I had paid serious attention to the negative reviews before taking this job. Management is extremely dishonest and secretive: always passing the blame to the subordinates rather than accept responsibilities. They never really define your roles and responsibilities for you, so you end up doing far more than you were initially told for extremely low pay. In this company, incompetence & unwillingness to take responsibility is the culture. Extremely disorganized and unprofessional. Also, the company has a very high employee turnover: people leave a lot mostly due to the poor pay and organizational culture. Poor adherence to employee safety and welfare. Work benefits are close to none. Temporary kind of job.

This is by far the worst company I have ever worked for. The pay is extremely low and they have very high employee turnover, plus there is no job security (You can get fired at any time).  Very incompetent management with no training. The place is divided by race. a lot of discrimination against non-spanish workers. The worst managers are the Spanish speaking ones. extremely racially myopic. The food is horrible, therefore, most employees bring their own food. It's just a temporary kind of job till you get a better one. HR will try to tell you a lot of offers to make you stay but its all lies.

Management really needs some guidance, work is stressful and the hours are way too early, they expect too much out of employees and write you up for any reason they see fit to cover their errors. Overall the company is a good company when it comes to giving you a position and flexibility such as calling out  but I wouldn’t suggest long term unless you see yourslef getting the same wage for years and no raise and killing yourslef from Monday-Sunday with huge amount of workload by yourslef , work for a little bit at least a year and then find a better paying job because you won’t move past a certain number here especially if you don’t have any sorts of certifications those are must here 

I really wasn't too fond of this job. Didn't have over-time, so when a certain time came everyone clocked out at the same time. I guess because there were different shifts. The amount of work to be done still wasn't matching up to what they were paying. One good thing I can say is that I learned alot from my supervisor on how to train new employees and also how to keep the workplace running efficiently when she was absent.
   Co-workers were there to support one another to meet deadlines. The hardest part of the job was keeping ones attention during training due to the abundance of work. Free lunch was the most enjoyable thing on this job.
