2017 when it was changed for 3 shifts we got promised 8 hours and some overtime. Now there is only 7 and half hours and no overtime, but now its expected from us to do double the work for the same amount of money. Since we got a raise because the minimum went up they expect us to do double the work because there isnt enough people. We are short on people and they know that but they wont hire others.  why? when people here will get forced to do double the job and what can they do, they need the job and grimmway knows that. they know that the people here are of older age and need the job they been working for years so they take advantage of that and use it for their own benefit. Dont even bother talking to management because all you will get from them is that we are now "required" to do this amount of work. In my opinion they think the raise they give us is from their own will and not a requirement from the state. All we get for our hard work was a "thank you for your effort" and "you will be rewarded in the near future" what else can they say to keep hope in the people here that have no other choice. Now as for GMPs, as long as the production doesnt stop or any supervisor saw you your leads will recommend...  keep on working! . If you need a job come to grimmway they hire anyone doesnt matter your record or age,  but they will take advantage of that. Dont worry if we all have a good year of work at the end we will get a Chair or a coffee Mug as a reward :)

Working at an agricultural warehouse was definitely a good start of getting use to long hours of the shift, getting the experience of new skills for your working character, I would recommend only for something to get by with, not leaning too much on getting a career with unless you really love carrots.  Overall it was ok, wish they could do better with management, pay their employees higher pay since it’s only minimum wage, I believe they all deserve so much better than that, it’s definitely hard work at times, not easy, so very unfair pay, and definitely take more control of the lazy people rather than letting them get away with everything.

Parents live this school. Teachers and other staff are struggling. Management implements new policies like crazy and expect teachers just to go along with it. Teachers here drop like crazy. They do co teaching here that basically decreases the SPED teachers worth and it is messed up. On top of having half the gen ed teachers responsibilities you would be the only SPED Teacher for your grade so you have full SPED responsibilities. Management would give you ton of work and expect you to stay there 7:45am-6pm working but only pay you until 3:40. You have ton of supervision duty and only one prep period a day. If it rains, say goodbye to your lunch. Also, there is no teachers union so you’re not protected at all. Benefits here is low. Pay is also low. I’ve had years of experience as an educator but they gave me the lowest pay possible. Turnover for all staff is high. 

A typical day was 5 meetings in 5 different locations building quality systems as well as sanitation protocols in each facility.  Writing policy and procedures and deploying them at each sight.  15 to 20 hours of work per day.  with multiple facilities there were 23 audits that were completed externally and weekly audits and each facility internally.  Building pre requisite programs and deployment.  
 I learned that building a sustainable system requires buy- in from the top down.   The hardest part of the job was engaging the leadership team.  The most enjoyable part of the job was watch people once empowered to get the job done succeed.  Training cross functionally and problem solving was a delight as well.

Too many hours. The supervisors say one thing in the safety meetings but then expect another thing on the floor! They claim "human safety over production ", but they actually expect fast paced production, over human safety! They'll work you until you drop and won't be at all shy to work you even when you're on the floor. The pay is horrible and if you're not bilingual, you WILL NOT PROMOTE! And actually, it only for non Spanish speakers, because the ones who do speak Spanish, are not required to Know English! Just a few passing words or phrases.  I'm not knocking the Spanish speaking community one bit. But I am saying that, you should have the same criteria for promotion, EQUALLY across the board!

Never miss a day of work being on time follow work orders and showing how much development and training to promote ourselves to a better promotion. The more work and training you can   become a manager to becoming supervisor. this company can be a great opportunity as a career. The hardest part in this company is really proving yourself and achieving your goal. The most enjoyable part in this company is everyone works together and communicate, its team work and we all go home safely at the end of the day.

i enjoyed my time there. Always very clean and very busy which i like.A typical day at work for me was just gettin through the first 2 hours after that it was like a short plane flight it was over fast. I learned to work as a team and to conduct myself at a even faster pace then what i was already used to. My co workers I didnt know much due to the fact that they only spoke spanish. My management was very cool to me and polite. The hardest part of the job was me not knowing spanish.The most enjoyable part of my job was just to be making money for my son and daughter.

I've been with the company for 9 years and barely make an annual $2K more than when I started working here.
The higher level positions are not given to the most qualified employee, but instead to those who are more personally favored by the management that have no idea about the day-to-day operations of the department.
This year's mission statement is to "Do more with less" through great effort and dedication or something like that, implying the company (or at least this department) knows it it not, and will not be, supplying the resources necessary to the employees to help with the job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company is very professional, the company is an equal opportunity employer which makes it that much easier to obtain a job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working the night shift and working in the outside factories getting wet with the sanitation assignment 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Well rounded culture ,well rounded environment,  people friendly employees 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working the shift without interruptions is important to me

Grimmway Farms hires almost anyone, which is AMAZING since as an agricultural company you know it's almost recession-proof. However, because of this simple fact the company has an ample supply of labor and as such has no incentive to increase wages at the level needed to keep up with the increasing cost of living.
Starting positions are demanding but it is simple to move up to higher roles.
Many benefits are included aside from the necessary healthcare ones such as discounts with select companies (gym, phone, etc.) and events for the whole family sponsored by the company.
