staff accountant

Heritage Cooperative

A typical day at work involves dumping trucks cleaning the facility and meeting new people on the daily. the work is dirty and doesn't pay super well starting at 16.50. you have to absolutely excel in your work to get raises at the end of the year actually worthwhile. the raises range from 20 cents to I'd say about 80 cents. I have learned a lot of useful skills such as grading grain, how to operate heavy machinery. and better people skills. the management is pretty solid depending on how the day is going. the manager gets out and works with the employees on a day-to-day basis. the hardest part of the job is being the lowest on the totem pole and having to do every bit of the work. there's a couple people who have been there for 15+ years or maybe just 3 years, point being you have to do EVERYTHING at the start. I'm constantly cleaning dirty basements fixing things that were broken before I joined so on and so forth, while other employees just sit there and watch you.

Management is full of lies. You dont get benefits unless you are full time, which they will never make you. 100 hours a week is considered part time to them.  You have frac managers leaving pad at night to go to the casinos while on the clock, leaving the other workers short staffed. No room for advancement unless you are friends with managers.Changes to your schedule with little to no notice, forget having a life. New Philadelphia location is the worst!!!! Dont make a supervisor mad because they remove you from the schedule at their discretion.  Save yourself the time and stress, its not worth it. Promise profit sharing every year and then sends out a notice its being put on hold for another year. Management tries to play employees against each other. If you go to a supervisor about an issue its never confidential, the whole company ends up knowing your business.

I had expectations this would be a good company to work for, however turns out I was disappointed. Here's why:
Pay is grossly under national average.
Yearly raises are not based on your work but a minimal increase on an already low rate & are non negotiable.
And read the handbook!
You are not paid out for vacation earned even if give a proper notice. 
They do not pay overtime if earned during a pay period with a holiday even if you are covering for others.
And watch your pay stub! They do not take out sufficient taxes, which will lead to owing at the end of the year.
This company's polices are not in favor of their employees. 


I have worked for Heritage for 7 years and have been treated fairly in all aspects of the job. Most people that leave the company do so because they have done something grossly wrong or didn't understand the work they were undertaking. I have found the Heritage treats their employees fair. I have also observed that when others in similar industries were laying off employees due to slowing down in the industry Heritage was moving their people around in the company to keep their employees working.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It for sure sucks your work a 2-3 person job for only $15

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
8hrs a day or more and sometimes a lunch break

Management has not clue what they are doing
Scheduling 6 on 3 off never works because people don’t show up for work because it’s 12 an hour.. Walmart pays 11 
Thy fired the only guy that Cared about the employees and the field operations that knew what he was doing because he disagreed with the horrible  changes they were making which caused Leadership to quit left and right because of management
Company doesn’t value employees
Work 70 hours a week in bad weather  with 0 benefits
They will NEVER measure up to oil field standards with the management that’s in place right now.

there was no typical day, everyday was different in some aspect.
learned how to interact with many different customers and some agricultural knowledge. 
management was good and persistent on keeping us busy
main co-worker was very knowledgeable of systems
hardest part of the job would have been cleaning of grain bins
most enjoyable part was talking with the farmers as they came in to unload grain.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing, the management does nothing and there is no formal training. All the departments just bicker and fight with each other. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Constantly watching your back and everything you say because everyone there is looking to snitch just so they can look better. It’s crazy. If you sneeze wrong someone will try to report you. Also lack
Of support from management.

I needed time off for family issues on more than one occasion, management was respectful of my situation and offered more flexibility in my schedule until I was able to get everything in order, and I have seen this done with other employees as well. If you are motivated to succeed with a good attitude, you will do well here. If you are just looking for a job until you find another, please move along.

Out of the Dover and New Philly area management is useless and they definitely don't care about the driver's... even during the orientation they will threaten dismissal of employees.. I believe that this company will fail soon... they are definitely running out of drivers and hiring drivers even without hazmat certification giving drivers a opportunity to get there hazmat in a certain time frame.. that just shows you how hard up they need drivers...
