mill operator

Livestock Nutrition Center, LLC

My day started at 6:30am and it was always a good time, helping my grew get started with work orders, starting the trucks for our drivers.I just wanted my crew and our drivers to feel important and good about being there, that they were more than just a warm body or a number. And then come 8:00am or so the general manager would show up, then the day would turn from good to bad.He very seldom had a good word for anyone, and you had to walk on pins and needles around him.I did learn alot the short time I was there about the process of making feeds, and how our truck drivers took care of our customers in the field. The hardest part of my job was trying to take care of my crew, I had little to no support in that area. The most enjoyable part of my job, I could interact with the customers and contract drivers that come in for feed.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
This is hard question to answer , days vary so much depending on work load and equipment that is not running properly to preform your job

Livestock Nutrition Center is a very fast-paced work environment. In a typical day I would assist with the completion of filling orders as well as loading customer with bags, mainly using a forklift, and load semi trucks. When requested by supervisor I would assist other employees unload rail carts and load up trucks with various types of minerals. Working with Livestock I Learned many thing such as safe forklift bobcat and front end loader operation, rail cart unloading and receiving.

The job is not for the weak hearted, which its fine it's a feed mill  be expected to get dirty and sweaty. But the most disrespectful part of the job is the lack of training and explanation of each job the day brings.  When you finished the task you would have to track your "boss" or whoever in charge all around the mill just figure out what to do next. I guess the upside is they have water for you if you need to ..but even be careful doing that. Also don't believe everything they say to you. Just be careful out 

Horrible management, horrible training system/staff

Everyone there is always trying to get out of things so it would always come down to 1-2 people to complete all of the day to day tasks.

They would expect you to take late or no lunches each day. 

They would expect you to work 20 hrs a day with no problem even though they shut down at 12 hrs. 

If you don't mind working hard and showing up everyday on time this is a great place to work.. Great company to work for  with stock payouts after 3 years of employment.. Family oriented so as long as you communicate with your supervisor and If need be to make up the lost time by staying late or possibly working Saturday usually can make it to ball games and school activities for the kiddos..

It was nice to put my classroom knowledge to work! I continuously learned new things throughout the summer. I traveled to other LNC locations and each of them were a bit different. The culture of this company is very relaxed and friendly, but professional. I enjoyed learning how to formulate diets and how the company operates day to day.

I enjoy working at LNC for several reasons: 
-You can't beat the people and the team culture. 
-You are surrounded by others who are dedicated & experienced, possess a hard work ethic, and also thrive in a fast paced environment.
-The company continues to grow, which means opportunity arises for personal and professional growth.
-Leadership ensures people are set up for success by placing them in a position of natural strength, ability, and passion.

A wonderful place to work for. Extremely knowledgeable and educated staff which have good strong backgrounds in multiple industries. The company culture is exquisite and creates a place where you want to come and work. The work is fast paced and you are expected and should be self-motivated. Overall this a wonderful company to work for, with, or do business with.
