Working in the cooler-Transferring farm eggs on to incubation racks, inspecting them along the way. Moving incubation racks to incubators to be hooked up and set for predetermined times. 

Working on the candling floor-Depending on job requirements of that day i would either be pulling racks from the incubators to be unloaded/running the machines to unload the racks onto the conveyors. OR Rotating at the front of the conveyor line filling holes, stacking flats onto lab racks and running racks into hot rooms.

End of day clean up. Washing and disinfecting the candling room with biosolve and synergize as well as using brushes and power washers. All farm racks and dirty incubator racks have to be run through the rack washer to be disinfected and cleaned. All buckets at the end of the day have to be dumped and cleaned out as well. If plastic flats and or lab racks are needed then we will stack flats on a pallet and shrink wrap them for the truck drives to take to the farm and the lab rack will be set up for use in the following days.

This the the best place I’ve ever worked! I have had many jobs prior to going to work for Hy-Line. I was always trying to find a place that felt right. Hy-Line sees me as a person and part of the family, not just an employee, I cannot speak for other locations, but at the Wilton hatchery, employees are treated great and everyone is important. The manager has been there since they opened and he is a nice, fair, caring person. He has no problem getting right in there and working with you. I have worked at Hy-Line for almost 5 years in processing and I have also worked in every department. All of the supervisors are very nice as well. This company bonuses you every month just for showing up to work on time.  The pay is great and the benefits are the best I’ve ever seen. None of the work is really very hard. Probably the hardest job in the building is putting eggs in incubators.

Dreadful for the most part. You spend the majority of your day doing anything to avoid having to speak to any management.

Contrary to what other reviews have to say about Hy-Line in Wilton, this location is an excellent place to advance, whether it's career wise or for a leadership role.
This is mainly due to the experienced and understanding leadership, who not only notice a good work ethic and passion, they reward it. I started with no maintenance or calibration experience. But over the course of 2 years, I was able to move up in my career and become efficient in my line of work, again, due to the experienced and well trained leadership.

Show up start on my rounds and see what comes up throughout the day and hope I make it out of there at a normal time.

If you are a prospective job-seeker - every company has its pros and cons. All depends on your attitude and work ethics. Some people enjoy agricultural work while others just seeks a job to pay the bills. 

The job is repetitive - it is hatchery that involves dealing with chicken eggs to hatch for global table egg industry (setting eggs into machine, transferring into hatcher and cleaning the machines for next set.) 

Pay is competitive to any other agricultural company. Health insurance is the best I have ever seen in 20+years being in the work field.

I worked at the Warren, location. No overtime you could work 40plus and still have straight pay. Horrible management. If your not friends or family good luck! It’s the good old boys club. It’s been four years since I’ve worked there. They are always hiring there’s a reason for that. Yeah it’s not easy work, or clean. It’s not for everyone! I wanted to have a career I kinda liked the job.  You know it’s bad when you can’t hit a 600 or 700 dollar check from there! Just horrible. But a job is a job I guess. I don’t like leaving bad feed back. But for this job I don’t mind it.
