Holten Meat

The management here have overly high expectations for everything that happens in the facility. You also have multiple bosses depending on the day of the week and none of them agree. One small mistake brands you as lazy and unable to do your job properly. Going above and beyond or helping anyone with work outside your scope/job description to look good or be helpful becomes your daily task moving forward. You get overwhelmed with work for any good gesture or showing capability. Maintenance is responsible for every department in some way if they decide you are. Nobody takes responsibility for mistakes and the entire culture is pointing fingers at others to make sure you don't look bad. Training is sub-optimal but they attempt to provide training. When you take time off or don't want to volunteer for overtime they bombard you with questions about why you dont care more about the company and guilt trip you when the company will do whatever they can to treat you like dirt and work you. If you had the opportunity to choose between being given $5 to survive a month or work here, I would recommend the $5 and figure out something before you work here.

At Holton Meat they have a 7-POINT SYSTEM until you are FIRED! At HOLTEN they "do not train you at all"! You are COMPLETELY lost about how to do your job from day one! Every one of the supervisors are women whom show FAVORITISM (meaning they only give the easy jobs to FRIENDS & FAMILY members!) They talk to you very DISRESPECTFUL, they work you HARD, they THREATEN you with being Fired constantly,  hoping you quit before being promoted! Basically you are touching cold meat everyday wearing gloves with holes in them & the meat is -12 degrees! Working on a fast, cold environment & they don't rotate or let you out for break and they have a point system where they fire you fast!

Convyer line assembly, processing large amounts of food meat orders for many companies. Overseeing about 10-14 employees and helping them complete their daily tasks.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part about working there are the benefits that they offer

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of training and guidance. You get different directions from management

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If you want to get anywhere there you must be part of the click. If your not then you won't make it there

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy because some people take hour lunches and run around having social time while others have to work while being pushed to do more. It's also very cold.

A typical day at work for me would've included an initial sterilization, then off into the warehouse. Next I would check the tape and bar code machine for errors,then off the the end of the line to make each pallet depending on size and weight given. What I learn at this establishment is how hamburger patties where made. The work culture was diverse for the most part. I can say the hardest part of the job was probably adjusting to the cold temperatures of the warehouse. The most enjoyable was the long breaks, it gave us time to socialize and eat peacefully

Basically a good company for a salesperson who is self-motivated. What I learned is that there are always people who are striving hard to get somewhere and they do not care who gets in the way. Either because they cannot mind their own business or they are insecure. I think management is not always on the same page and people are treated with double standards. Most enjoyable thing is that you see a lot of people who are really good people who are not caught up on themselves. The old adage is true a couple of bad apples spoil the whole bunch.

Even when it was a bad day all you had to do is maintain your determination and to motivate others as working as a team. And I learned to figure out how to make things more easier with the job in the co-workers was very easy to get along with and the hardest days were when we got snowed in and employees couldn't make it to work and the most enjoyable of the job the employers appreciate it the work that you do

The job is what a person make of it .You can learn a lot of things in the food industry. Learn how to mix ingredients in different types of meat for different orders. Management work with the workers a lot on safety to keep everybody safe. And the workers are nice people to work with. The hardest part of the job learning different orders and how to pack them at a fast pace can sometimes get confusing but when you learn the pack orders its a piece of cake. The most enjoyment of the job is getting a pay check to support your family.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Getting paid every week . And some of the staff there is friendly.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
That they do not care about you as a human being 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
