What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no best part of working for this company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
If you actually care about doing your job well management will try to get you to take on additional responsibilities while offering no incentive to do so.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Like anywhere that doesn’t want to send the money to backgound checks the culture is, I hate to use the cliché toxic, that probably is the best way to describe it though.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Personally, I would come in and head to the work area to get everything set up for the changeover from night shift, which is the job of the line manager and assistant but somehow I ended up doing it. After lunch I had to always cut my break short to come back and get everything set up for production to restart, which again wasn’t my
responsibility. From that point it was just doing my normal job of running product to the weigh station and sending it down the line to the shipping department until the end of the day.

When Mar-Jac first bought out Marshall Durbin we heard nothing but the company as all about employee satisfaction. That they took care of them. 

Unfortunately this did not happen. After a year of being with the company we finally got the corporate bonuses that everyone had been told of, and we were told that review for raises were to begin in January. This is where everything really started to go downhill. Many of the junior to mid level salary employees began to be "terminated" due to various reasons. 

I don't know exactly where it started, but inter-departmental trust began to decline rapidly. The guy hired as my boss came in day one stating that we couldn't trust production employees to do their jobs, and eventually began to move this ideal over to production supervisors. 

Many policies and procedures began to be put in place that greatly impacted the overall efficiency of the production staff. Which in a chicken plant environment is bad.

Put in a lot of time and effort, performed tasks that were not my responsibility due to staffing issues and wasn't compensated. Other than occasional cost of living raises, never got any. No room for growth or advancement. Dead end job, little to no opportunity to work overtime, but it provided a decent paycheck for where it's located.  The harder you work to try to advance, the more work load they put on you when they know you can and will do it, but will offer no compensation for it. Advice is just go to work, do only what is assigned to you in your job description and nothing more, go home and repeat. 

I enjoyed the job when I first started on ray shift working 12 hours a day. All I did was load feed trucks from a computer. But they switched to 3 shifts and I was told I’d work nights till the new man was trained but they gave him the day position instead. There’s a lot of favoritism and partiality. If you don’t kiss up to the boss you won’t move up. Truck drivers will call and yell and cuss at you if you put a load on them they don’t like. And the boss doesn’t do anything about it. They also have some of the sorriest mechanics I’ve ever seen. 

A learning experience most definitely. I would go there temporarily but I wouldn't not stay! I work as hard as I can to not get aknowledged! I show up everyday on time and still get criticism. It's obvious all they care about is themselves and you coming to work no matter HOW SICK YOU ARE. I DONT ENCOURAGE NOOOOBODY TO WORK THERE IT IS RIDICULOUS. They really need to close it down because they still send out chicken that is weeks old they just relabel them and send them right back out.

Mar Jac Poultry is a production plant. It is a repetitive environment with a fast paced outlook. While there I would typically hang chickens or if I was needed elsewhere due to someone else being absent management would move me around where I needed to go. I have people at this job whom started off as co workers then became more like family. The most enjoyable part was the way the work day would just fly by; it would seem like no time and the day would be over.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long and cold. Very stressful

Would constantly schedule you hours earlier than your client's store opening hours. which you're suppose to go in an hour before the store opens but our manger would schedule us two and a half hours early and we never got paid for the hours waiting outside everyday. The pay is bad for what you do $11.50/hr. and people who were there before you or the lead custodian will make you do what they don't want to or feel …

It was one of the worst jobs I’ve ever had. Poor communication, poor  professionalism, poor work environment. They make you come to work on off days and give you a point if you don’t. They point you even for doctors excuse. They take money out of your checks hoping you not paying attention to your hours. And they don’t even want to give raises and if they do it’s not a full raise like they say it should be.
