Hanover Foods

The company as a whole is nothing more that a joke. Nobody in Management is Qualified for their job or title. They will try to be your friend, but talk nothing but bad behind your back to other Management and employees. They have no idea what they are doing and constantly lie about everything. They tell you what you wanna hear to get you in the door, like pay, raises, time off, only to find out that its nothing more than a smoke and mirror show. If you have a family or enjoy your personal life, you might as well forget about that. You will never be around to enjoy that. 12hr shifts are the normal, 7 days a week is also very common. Dont worry about learning anyones name, they won't be there long enough to remember. The turn over rate is unimaginable. The equipment is so old and is always breaking down, half the time it can't be fixed or they don't know how to, or have the parts to. Trying to get a day off is near to impossible. You have to call in everyday to see if you are working or if they changed the schedule. Attendance and showing up on time is strictly enforced, unless you are Management. Dont ever expect them to show up on time or on weekends. There is more drama than a soap opera, and everyone will know all your business. The place is always dirty with week old rotten food everywhere, a total nightmare. Housekeeping and personal hygiene doesn't seem to be a thing. Safety doesn't seem to matter, but they will tell you its number one. There is no training after orientation, more monkey see monkey do. The pay is way behind the times for current cost of living. Best of luck to anyone considering a job here. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The opportunity for advancement with in the company if you apply your self work hard even though I am a previous employee at Handover food company it is a great place to work 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The company gives each employee a chance of achieving their short term as well as long term goals for their success with in the company 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
First an foremost my previous company Handover foods is a great place to work the most important aspect the company expresses is safety awareness first before anything else as well as GMP’S good manufacturing practices for instance as well as P.P.E. Personal protective equipment 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My typical day when I was working at the company was settling up daily task sheets making sure everything ran efficient with all safety protocols was being followed by my team members while working their shift so the same way my staff came in to work I wanted them to go home after work if they came with two fingers I wanted them to go back home with two fingers

Working with vegetables, preparing them to be canned and packed.

Cleaning up work stations around the plant to keep the operation running smooth \ without frequent cleaning the food will get backed up and the plant will have to shut down until stations are clear of all jams or technical difficulties. 

Helping fix Machines or jams in Machines.

Working at a steady pace to be able to help other station in times of errors others make or problems they have.

Hard work pays off is something that was new to me working for this company. To keep a factory running everyone has to work together and keep their station clean as possible while paying attention to what they are doing very closely to avoid.  

Managers are understanding and love a person that likes to work hard.

My job was fairly matched for me.

I liked that i could work without someone ordering me around even though i would not mind if they did it was better that they did not.

Doesn’t give proper training AT ALL. NOR DO THEY FOLLOW OSHA RULES OR GIVE PROPER PPE OR TELL YOU WHERE TO FIND IT. Working in extreme conditions with your building being over 110 with no vents or a/c, even hotter operating the oven. Roaches everywhere, mouse traps in the food storage bins we move product to and from with traps still in the containers. People including management are throw waffles back on the line with their BARE HANDS!!!People leave their stations double or triple the allowed break period with nothing said. Machines NEVER run right and the maintenance people they hire don’t know what they’re doing with the machines. They lie to you about what you’ll be doing and will fire you just as quick if you start asking too many questions or even do your job and complain about others not doing anything. 0/10 would recommend.

Systems are band-aided together, so they don't talk to each other.   that makes additional work for everyone.  some programs are more than 20 years old and have had 60 or more modifications documented - there's no way they do what they say they do anymore.    no one can possibly understand them completely.    No pay raise last year, and with a huge recent purchase of yet more storage (seems like a lack of planning) probably none this coming year, either.  No effort made to make the work family any more than just that - no names on cubicles or doors.   No one gets introduced - you do it all yourself.  Building is a disgrace - you walk in and there is duct tape holding carpet together.   Bathroom probably hasn't been painted - probably hasn't been worked on in 30 years.   dull, drab, paint peeling, wallpaper peeling..

Also the the the people who are producing this quality should be be compensated for going above and beyond. This wil make a happier work place environment and will show at the bottom line as well.
