Natures Path Foods

Nature's Path was a great place to work, I was surrounded by unique individuals, however there was something I would have defiantly changed with regards to management. 
To value an employee and what they bring to the job is the key to not only a happy employee but also a productive one. It helps the company as a whole if it's employees feel appreciated for what they do, and not just sentiment that, it's part of the job description. Many days I went above and beyond and all to often it was overlooked, so my value set upon me by management was one of if you stay or go it wouldn't have matter. I like to be in a company where I am able to utilize my skills as a team player not only to advance the business but also to gain life skills I am able to take with me, which I did not get from Nature's Path.

Nature's Path makes organic food! How can you beat that? The family is deeply committed to helping maintain the environmental stability of the land. They are good stewards of one of God's gifts and they love to work the garden. Can you say growing groceries? The Nature's Path family is committed to providing healthy organic food to those in need and have applied a great deal of their proceeds toward community outreach programs.

Working with any company, we reap what we sow. If we agree with the company values and put our hearts into the business, with the intent of growing the business, we will realize the benefits. We need to handle the small responsibilities well in order to advance to the larger responsibilities.
Now, go get 'em!
Blessings to all

It isn't often that you are able to work with a brand that has values that mirror your own. Not only is the company I work for a fiercely independent, family owned entity- but they are committed to making the world a better place.

I make my own hours, schedule my own appointments and am responsible for building the business in my territory.

One thing I miss is the camaraderie of working in an office, and having hours that are solid and set. It's nice to be able to have a routine. I would also like to not have work to do at home- being done at 5, or whenever work hours are over would be refreshing.

I personally thought it was a wonderful place to learn but on the flip side management was to inconsistent in my one year of employment i had four different supervisors aswell as three plant managers i still loved my job though i was promoted to a lead operator position unfortunately i was terminated for a verbal altercation my typical day included batch making following recipes on a monitor dealing with bulk bags and airlocks adding hand adds assisting extruder operator with monitor of oven temps and and moisture tests staging raw material as needed and whatever was required of me

This was a completely unorganized company.  The Human Resources department is not very supportive to in-house issues… I was fired and had to get a lawyer involved! HR falsified documents and lied to cover it up They have no employee appreciation. Co workers tend to act like pre-teens just getting to high school… management rotates frequently and quickly! I would never return here although the pay is average for the field they do not stick to a typical raise scheduled regardless of performance reviews and job titles! I wouldn’t recommend anyone working here! 

I loved being a machine operator. I learned how to fix massive machines, how to program them and how to keep them running. I liked the 12 hour shifts, 4 days on and 4 days off. It gave great long weekends while still having enough hours to live off of. However many of the temps were incapable of doing a majority of the jobs and your work performance was based off of the team you were leading. There was a massive disconnect between management and the crew, even more so for night shift. We had no access to HR or management of any kind unless staying well past our 12 hour shift which causes lack of communication.

A typical workday there is you on assembly line moving as quickly as possible to package product. What I learned their as a machine operator, is how to assemble and disassemble  the machinery. As well as learning how to make adjustments to it, and managing and utilizing a team of people around me. For the most part management will allow you to work comfortably, without hovering over your back as long as you do what you need to be doing. The culture is there is teamwork, and friendly. The hardest part was a long hours, and the most enjoys thing about it is that you can work peacefully.

P everything should be based on your performance and what you doing what you do and how you you participate in your sensitive will be going to stand for those that come on time and don't have is his many lapses or lateness or points against them they should be able to advance to any level that they can and be asked or not have to ask to advance in no type of way whatsoever but because you don't get the opportunity you cannot advance

I observed disparities in pay, particularly concerning the situation of one individual who, in my opinion, deserved fair compensation but wasn't receiving their due wage.Upon investigation, it became apparent this individual, were earning less than some temporary workers. Even tho they worked there for 3 years they offer to pay them as a starting pay although they had been running a machine and not getting pay as an operator .Adding to the injustice, this person was working 12 hours, 6 days a week for those 3 years
