HARRIS RANCH BEEF COMPANY

Lets start off with management... so basically management only cares about getting product out and getting the job done. They don't care about their employees and that's just that. I've had different supervisors at this place, and I can say that basically they all just want you to get the job done and don't care what it takes. If you ever need a favor, like for example, leaving at your 8 hours (all OT is mandatory) to go get something important done, supervisors will make you feel bad or guilty or just not let you go. Leads and supervisors don't communicate well. Harris Ranch hardly shows any employee appreciation. You'd think with as much money as this company makes they'd pay their employees a little better, but instead they give them a luncheon twice a year to show us "they appreciate us and our hard work". The work environment itself isn't the best either. If you work in a big department such as fabrication where everybody thinks they're their own boss, it's just constant drama. Different day, same thing. Also, to advance in this company, it's more so the "who you know" kind of thing than actual hard workers getting the jobs they deserve. Same goes for favoritism.. If your supervisor has a favorite, the whole department will know. So basically this place is like a high school except you get paid.

As a former Manager of companies; here's my assessment of Harris Ranch. You work very hard everyday for min. wage.; working 10 or more hours. With all the gear you wear it takes about 5min. to get it off and 5min. to put it back on so when your 15min. break comes? You really only get a 5min. break. Lunch is 30min. with the long hours; you'd think they'd give us 1hr. Nope! Management and leads don't communicate efficiently. You would think a Company being around for almost 50 years would be a fine oiled machine and have all the kinks and bugs worked out already. Nope! Bottom line, this Company doesn't care about the employees. All they care about is their product and working the workers to exhaustion to do it. While there I've seen alot of people quit and still are. Don't work here UNLESS; you need the money badly. They do pay weekly so that's good but find another job asap! Don't stress yourself over this place. Good luck to you..

Working here is okay. The overtime is there but there is very little time off. I worked in fabrication which was Monday through Saturday from 6am to 530 to 6pm. Yes overtime helps a lot but you will be tired all the time.  So if you have a family this place isn't for you. If you need to make cash quickly this is the place but be prepared to be overworked.. Due to to the pandemic we were always short and it would become really stressful. 
As for the supervisors. They are easy to get along with. They can work with you if you have other things you need to attend to but that just depends.  I have nothing against the supersvisors but they could be more professional than what I Have witnessed and just like many jobs they have their favorites. 

At harris ranch you are on a constant move.Your day goes by extremely fast .The plant is so busy due to all the orders of the day and last minute ones as well.Management is stern but if you are a good empolyee you should not have any complaints.The hardest part of my job was working with someone not giving a team effort.The last thing you want is to be partnered up with someone that does not care about their job.With that attiutude and working ability can taunt your work environment.Constantly making the line get backed up. Negative results doubling your workload.The thing I enjoyed the most was the people I worked with .The pay was aweome especially a check with OT, but the people I work with made the day more fun and productive.

Its hot when you get there and if you are not on the kill floor (Harvest), in the truck shop, or the maintenance. Then you are most likely in the main building where you are working production.Its where you are cutting up the carcass and preparing it to be shipped to customers nation wide. Maybe you are in RTE making premium deli meats or Ready To Eat packaged meals. There is many other jobs there as well but no matter which dept. your in or job title you have, it is a fast paced, stressful, and sometimes competitive job that may people cant hang. 
Working almost 80 hrs plus a week in 30 degrees or less cooler can be a little much at times but the it pays and the benefits are better than most state employee packages.

The maintenance manager needs to go … they gave him golden knee pads because “ he doing such a great job”… but they can’t keep there good works because they don’t pay there worth or they take advantage of the kind hearted… a lot of hard works left because of it… it’s a shame… even the hr was fed up and quit

Incompetent manager who sits down and eats all day

Cruel and harsh… it’s not what you know it’s who you know.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

Miserable and sad because of the way management talks to there employees

Harris Ranch is by far the worst company I've had the misfortune of working for. There is no integration period - you go straight to the production line. You get "trained" for maybe a couple of hours then you are left on your own. The work is grueling and endless and supervisors are just company stooges, they could not care less about your pain or needs. Hours are long and unforgiving, the only saving grace of holding a job at this place is the overtime pay, but considering that overtime is mandatory it's the definition of bittersweet. If you need fast money and can hold up to the rigors of a fast-paced, brutally difficult job then more power to you but in any other case I would look elsewhere.

Upon job offer other offers were made benefit wise including a 2 week vacation after completing 1 year with the company a raise after passing 90day probation and raise every 6 months to a year.  When it came down to signing the paperwork the 2 week vacation after a ear of employment was changed to a 1 week.  False promises upon job offer.  Worked long hours to maintain the health and well being of all the staff only to be told I couldn't he considered for a raise that was promised to me after 90 days and also at the 6 months when there was a company wide raise.

Great company, if your willing to learn they will teach you, the leads, supervisor and manament were cool. Just got to do your job just like any other place. Fast pace work, if your lazy this place isn't for you, they make the new guys do most of the work but I didn't mind because it just makes it better for me to have the opportunity to learn more and be able to move up faster. And if your on probation try not to miss anyways for 3 month and you'll be good, didn't knw about there strict attendance while on probation so lol yea....will definitely go back if I don't find a job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
You can move up quickly & co workers are cool 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lead wouldn't let you got to the restroom when you really needed to go sometimes you would have to wait 45 minutes all because he would let his friends go first or the one who kiss you know what. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's a challenge but once you get the hang of it it get easier 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fast easy some days hard but over all it's always a good day because you got a job
