JONES DAIRY FARM

I worked here for 2 years and still only had 1 week of vacation they do 1 week after 1 year and another week after 3. Supervisors aren’t the best there’s a few that we’re good but a lot of them are just rude or pick favorites. On second shift you never know what time your doing home you work till your done you could work 2pm-7pm you could work 2pm-3am no warning you find out through out the night. Went to first shift and if they didn’t have a second shift on your like in Stein then you didnt get to go home till the line was done so you could end up working 6am-4-5pm sometimes. OT is nice but it was mandatory almost every weekend up until recently they started giving breaks cause of too many call ins. My child care closed one day for a snow storm and was delayed and hour another day I got in trouble for both of those and then written up for attendance when I totaled my car out on the way to work. HR clearly has favorites themselves. And the new HR team is ridiculous. I’ve never seen an HR actively work so much against its employees. I just don’t recommend working here they don’t truly fix their equipment either same stuff breaks everyday they just bandage it 

a typical day at work isn't typical your never sure what the day brings, it depends who is absent, where the demands are,and what you know, sometimes you don't even know what shift youll be working. the more you know the more you get bounced around. management is hard nosed & you get the feeling they don't care about you only what have you done for me lately. your co workers are very hard working because the more you put out the more you make on there incentive program. the hardest part of the job is not knowing the job well because you cost the people around you money if you don't catch on fast or cant keep up right away. the most enjoyable part is payday provided you did well and made good incentive, because you can make good money if you get a high incentive job like shipping or forklift driving or even sanitation gets good money when they clean real fast.

I am very happy to be part of the team of Jones Dairy Farm. I started working at the company at the end of December 2021 and let me tell you that, it takes time to find a company that offers what you are looking for and thankfully I found what I was looking for.

Great culture, professional support, family who cares for everyone regardless of the job position. 

Jones Dairy Farm cares about their employees, professional and personal growth, safety is a priority for us. Leaders knows how to make employees feel welcome to the family. 

It is great when companies give you the opportunity to build a professional relationship with the supervisors and managers. 

I am a Safety & Training Supervisor and together with my team, we are working hard to have a safe place with a great environment for everyone. I love working with the Food Industry, I enjoy seeing every single process the employees perform to we can have food in our tables. JDF employees are amazing, and yes, I love JDF product as well. 

Do not hesitate to apply, we will be happy to have you as part of the team. 

The management is unprofessional and dismissive of employee concerns.  They are combative, manipulative, disrespectful, and will resort to threats as a means of control.  Management has its own agenda at employee expense and will take credit for your ideas and hard work. Work duties are overloaded with no overtime granted, or appropriate compensation given for the extra load; they call it "shifting".   A decent benefit package is available however benefits such as FMLA or bereavement time are at the sole discretion of HR, who has the company's back, not the employees.  Customers who do not have the deep pockets are dismissed as "one offs" which I found  offensive after having built a working relationship with them.  Once the "honeymoon stage" is over, work to life balance quickly becomes uneven, you will find yourself married to the company.  The only redeeming quality was the co-workers.

I Work 2nd Shift, starting around 2:20pm. We have a team huddle to go over safety topics and explain the workload expected and the are given job assignments. I've learned Jones truly cares of what's happening worth each employee and not in a nosey way. If I were to voice a concern or issue, it's brought to the attention of the production team and evaluated. As far as the culture, it's very positive, I've never seen or heard of an employee belittled or looked down on. The hardest part, if I had to choose is,  when there's a production malfunction, the fast pace to problem solve and get back to a "normal process" can be overwhelming, until problems get sorted out but,  most times it's a team effort, meaning others around me, jump in to help. The most enjoyable part at Jones is positive people in the entire company,  from the coworkers to the owner. 

Have been employed here for 5+ years and everything seems to be going downhill faster and faster. The new generation of management that has been advancing over the recent years no longer cares about the employees. All they are concerned with is appeasing the person above them and help advance their career. Lower level management is okay for the most part as they are treated just like the production workers. Every department is severely lacking in staffing and the only solution is to make existing employees work harder. All new hires are now going to be starting out at full wage + a sign on bonus, but the company does nothing to show their appreciation of their current employees. When I first started Jones was very well known throughout the community for being a excellent place to work. That has all be washed away now due solely to poor management. 

The pay for general production is decent and the benefits are ok. Corporate positions are neglected with pay unless you are working in a cubicle. The entire company is surrounded by the idea that it is one big family, but only the highest of upper management is family. 1st shift floor workers are basically the “cousins” of the family and any position on 2nd shift is “not related” to this family. Incredibly conservative company because everyone has been there forever and has no plan on changing. 
Production supervisors get terrible pay and have the highest work load out of everyone in the company. General production workers’ issues cannot be heard because of how much work they shove onto production supervisors’ plates. It’s a never ending cycle of lack of communication and lack of energy from the big wigs in order to help production. I would only recommend you work here if you have the experience to do a higher level corporate position. 

I have worked for Jones for almost a year and have already seen many changes rolled out to help our staff create a better work/life balance. The number of production days has changed from working 6 or 7 days a week to working 5 days a week with occasional work one weekend, they have changed the vacation days schedule to give more time off sooner, as well as increased pay for our production team. Jones has also created a number of new positions, as well as a number of different procedures in order to help strengthen our team.   
No matter what position you hold, there are going to be some ups and downs. Thankfully, I am seeing more ups than downs. I leave work feeling appreciated not only from my department but from other staff throughout the company.

A typical day is fast-paced and physically active, with clear expectations. I’ve learned a lot about food safety, production processes, and working efficiently under pressure. The pay and benefits are solid, and job security is good, but communication and organization from management could be better. I wish management listened to their workers more when it comes to needing stuff fixed or other concerns like that. The work culture is generally positive and team-oriented, but work/life balance can be challenging during busy seasons. Hardest part is the heat in certain areas and keeping up with high production demands. Most enjoyable part is the teamwork and knowing the work you do matters.

If you are looking for a job work somewhere else! Management has no clue what they are doing. If you give you input on something or try to make it easier on you and the dont care. Safety is NOT there top priority they are reactive not proactive when it come to safety!!
They DO NOT pay you enough for the headache they give you while working there.
Management WILL NOT pay enough to get qualified maintenance men and that is one of the largest problems.
When you need a weekend or a day off you might as well forget about that unless you use your vacation days or call in sick to work.
They work you 7days a week and don't care about you or your family and they claim to be a family oriented company but that is a lie unless you are part of the Jones family
