A typical day of work at the peanut plant consited of operating the various machinery and then cleaning up and maintaining both the floors and machinery. The place had underpar managemnt that failed to help out and prvide constructive criticism. The peanut plant had a neutral work environment were everyone got along and were able to complete tasks together successfully. The hardest part of the job was the frequent break downs of the machinery that prevented us from completeing our assigned tasks. The part I mostly enjoyed at the peanut plant was performing the maintenance on the machines and cleaning them out. The two main things that I learned from working with Severn Peanut Co. is how to operate and maitain more complex machinery and how to drive and operate a forklift.

The company paid decent wages and provided good benefits to the corporate staff. However, there is no diversity in the corporate staff and it is made quite clear that other people's opinions are not valued or encouraged. If you are not from the small community of Severn, then you are treated like an outsider and you basically need to do your job and keep your mouth shut. It is a very stressful work atmosphere and every aspect of your job is strictly controlled and micromanaged. 

I learned not to go into these companies expecting them to accept your professionalism and value your input because if they don't or don't want to see you fit for the role and job integrity you hold they will target you for management issues

I work closely with a dealer network that I have maintained for over 15 years. The most enjoyable part of the job is to satisfy their needs and ensure their satisfaction, The most difficult is to see the inability of the company to execute  on timely delivery or maintain proper inventory levels. I was heavily recruited by this company only to see their inability to perform.

I have enjoyed my experience working for this company. Small town, few workers, good staff and supervisors. Pay is good for the area. Work is a little physically demanding but not too difficult. Very easy to learn and good as an entry level position. I do not like breathing in some of the chemicals that are throughout the warehouse but face masks are available.

what I learn at the Meherrin Aguculturial is a lot of GMP a lot more about working with and around food the management was okay they just had a lot of favorites my co-worker was okay on a job level the hardest part of the job is the people its not the work you have to have a good crew to perform good work the most enjoyable part of the job is pay day

Very inviting atmosphere 
Extremely humble and kind people to work for 
I learned a great deal of new information about shipping and receiving 
I enjoyed how I got to many different tasks throughout the day instead of just one specific duty

It's ok, I had better relations with other companies. I felt that I was down to me. I was talk to me sarcastically.  The bad part I really like working with the farmers and customers. But at no time I was disrespectful to the customers 

It was a good place to work. During spreading season you could work 50-60 hours a week. But it was ok. You got to see a lot of places going to different counties spreading fertilizer. Most of the farmers were good guys but you had some that weren't.

Very unprofessional. Management is "new" and doesn't know policies , as per their own words. Would not recommend quitting a job to take one here. 
Please be advised that you should make sure all T's are crossed and i's are dotted if you're offered employment.
