Holden Farms

In my first couple weeks I thought I was succeeding and getting the routine at the farm down, so I felt very good about myself. Upon my second week of working at the farm I was called into the office by management.I was then told how i was a danger to myself and others at the farm. Then they completely switched up my job I had been doing the last two weeks to something different. They knew I had 0 experience on a pig farm coming in, What did they expect? If this would have continued after a month then I would have felt better about it but after not even two weeks you decide to change a new employees job and drive them into the dirt? Never felt so demoralized in my life. Also was told to be on my phone less during break time. ??? Is break time a controlled environment now?! Definitely need a change of management. I see why this place has horrible employee retention. 

My day was always a busy one from the first minute to the last.   I really enjoyed my job and the duties of my job.  I also enjoyed working with the growers and the service team of 14 individuals.  Everyone brought fun and different personalities to the table.  The reorganization of the office was the biggest downfall and what created lots of tension and turnover.

● Work-life balance
Since i got to work with Holden farms i'm having much more work-life balance.

● Job security and advancement
the company os always investing in job security trainjng for your employees

● Overall
A family company who cares about their animals and their employees.They are always investing in training to help to achieve theirs goals. I'm very happy to work here.

I have worked with Holden Farms for 5 years; HFI has a great team culture.  They have provided me with tools to do my job through several learning opportunities (ex. Workshops, seminars, team building events, other learning opportunities).

Been with company for about 3 years.  Overall enjoyable work and my Manger is great.  Work life balance is great.  Coworkers are good, I have become outside work friends with a few.  Required to work some weekends but get considerable days off.  

They dont support hey workers and never listen them, about opportunities of promotions? Just to the people whos its considered like favorites but no because they are good workers,,, they need to change all this and give nrw opportunities to people who want a job again

I felt managment did a great job rewarding my dedication. I was having some personal family issues and company supported me during this rough period of my life. I enjoyed being able to have easy access to owners, owners are hands on and really seemed to care about employees.

Holden farms stays away from micro managing their supervisors and actually lets you manage your staff which is very rare.  The pay is more than fair and they have excellent benefits.  Highly recommend.

It's okay. They try I think, they just don't really know how to run a company that has expanded the way it has. They don't compensate well and the benefits are pretty bad. HR tells everyone the office gossip.

I enjoyed my work but no one joked around or laughed.  There was no room for compassion or easy banter.  Too many mexicans and the language barrier was really tough.
