The most stressful part about working for this company is having to work in a jail. You have to be very cautious and follow the rules when it came to working with the inmates. However I did love my job but did not agree with being treated like an inmate from the jail. For example having to be ran through the scan machine and all your belongings searched thoroughly. Only the kitchen staff was required to do this. On a few occasions I had to be patted down due to my bra showing a spot on the machine which was nothing. It was humiliating.

This company is the most disorganized, unprofessional company I have ever worked for. Absolutely no direction from HR. One person will tell you one thing, then someone else will tell you something completely different and then get on to you for doing what you were told. Don’t work here. It will make you miserable! A typical day at work would be chaos. Just chaos and nothing else. They expect you to do what they say when they say it and if you’ve got kids at home or sick, oh well, do it anyway or you will be replaced! It’s not a hard job, but management and corporate make it hard. The only enjoyable part of the day is getting to leave and hopefully your phone doesn’t ring or you’ll be forced to go back. 

If you choose to work for Kellwell be most cautious if accepting a “salaried position”.  This company, unfortunately, has a track record  of pushing Exempt Managers to fulfill business needs by working an overwhelming number of hours uncompensated and unrecognized to fulfill needs of their clients.   Go for hourly and get overtime.   If not, you will quickly become a Manager of responsibilities compensated at a rate lower than those you Supervise.     Kellwell has of the best products for contracted food service for jail institutions I have ever encountered but for their treatment of employees they have a long way to go.

If you’re considering employment with this company, I would seriously reconsider! They DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES. They will throw you under the bus no matter how long you’ve worked there. You will not get a raise unless you demand one, even after working ridiculous hours, sometimes being the only employee. Corporate will not come to help you. You will be expected to take on other roles or tasks without any real training. And hope you like being accused of things you didn’t do, and treated like you are an inmate, because that’s what my experience was!
