Hampton Farms

I was hired through a temporary agency as I had heard that was the only way Hampton Farms would even consider a new hire. I was there all of 2 days. At the end of day 2 I received a call from my agency saying the manager said my services were no longer needed and he didn't explain why. Best I can think is that I just wasn't fast enough. They want people who know the job and all the machinery without receiving any formal training, who can come in and know what all the stops in production mean, who can come in on day one and have the speed and accuracy of someone who has been there 20 years. Rather than train people the right way, Hampton Farms would sooner go through temps like a fat kid at a candy store. It was sad to hear some of the full time employees say they have watched temps come and go while the regular folks have no promotion opportunities. Most of the employees at this location are so friendly and so helpful and most have even said "oh your speed will come, it's only day 2!" I wasn't even worried about all the cuts from the boxes, or the males on line 4 who would stare at you while you sweep their line for them and then talk smack about you to your line partner like you aren't even standing there. But really, how hard is it to say "thanks"? Or nod? Don't tell me you can't spare a second to nod since you have time to lean and stare. My services aren't needed but yall get to keep your job with your pants hanging past your tails? Nice one! To add insult to injury, the supervisor stood right in the lab and told one of the girls to call her sister in to relieve the extra person on one of the lines, that way he could send that person back to their own work- he "just needed a body" on the line...

It was hot in the summer and cold in the winter and it rained in the plant on us packers.A typical work day was uncertain, you didn't know if you were going to have orders or not.
I learned a lot from the qc tech and the operator I worked under, which trained me how to run the machine.New hires were brought in to make more money than we did and they had the opportunity to advance to the new plant as to we weren't given a chance to do so.You were only a packer and nothing more, there weren't any praises for you efforts. Where as too if the company praised the workers more they could get more production and better numbers.The most enjoyable part of my job were the people I worked with.There is no compassion for the people. You're only a walking time clock punching, peanut production number... Its been a decline in work orders since 2015. Orders have not picked up.You can always tell bad companies cause their turnover rates are through the roof.

Hampton Farms have been my home outside of my home. I 've been working with this company for 20 years and love my job and the people I work with. I work hard and show my approved. Sometimes the work day can get hectic. Monday's and Fridays are our busy days. Working at Hampton Farms have taught me a lot about working with people, dealing with people, and helping people. I love our management team. We work together as a family. My co-workers are great people and easy to get along with. The hardest part of my job is dealing with public. The customer is always right....The most enjoyable part of my job is making the customer happy.

I really enjoyed working for this company but not for the upper management. The upper management of the company were made up of people from the New England area that did not hold with the culture of the company values which were very much Southern based and very family oriented. I feel that changes will need to be made with the upper management for this company to continue to be a successful food company for the next century and beyond.

A typical work day includes order entry, ensuring the customer is happy with the product that they ordered. I've learned a lot about the food industry and the USDA requirements to protect every person.
The location where I work is a small office of 12 people and we are all like family.
The joys of this job is learning new things about our products and trying to increase our sales.

This company really values its employees and offers a safe and welcoming environment.  They promote from within with a lot of opportunity to grow.  They also provide several unique resources to their employees, some of which are based on family and faith.  I have been more than happy with my employment with this company and look forward to a long and successful career.  Couldn't recommend Hampton Farms any more than I do for prospective employees.
