PACIFIC CHEESE

The workload at Pacific Cheese is extremely demanding for a single person. The position requires constant palletizing of heavy boxes of cheese, often weighing up to 50 pounds each, while also being responsible for fixing label machine issues as they occur. Unfortunately, there is little to no team support during production — while you are stacking boxes, the rest of the team tends to stand by and does not assist, even when a new pallet needs to be prepared.

When a pallet is completed, it’s up to you alone to start another one and move the finished one aside, all while keeping up with the production line speed. If the line starts backing up because you’re handling these tasks, you receive negative looks or comments from others, including supervisors. The environment can feel unsupportive and high-pressure, especially considering the physical demands of the job.

Overall, the workload and lack of teamwork make it a very stressful and physically exhausting role for one person to manage effectively.

Employee cheese was good. No room for advancement.  Negative upper management. No raises or bonuses. They froze 401k match. Toxic work environment. They can’t keep employees. They need to pay better.  Nobody wants to know about your spouses health issues on a daily basis. Training- what training. Temp. Service employees make more per hour than regular employees. Production leads will play favorites with staff. You will literally move thousands of pounds of product in one day. Every year it seemed like the benifits got worse and worse. They always found ways to take things away from there employees. You work hard keep the production lines running complete the daily order and never get “good job” - not once. 

Everything starts off good working there, till you speak up and report issues to Human Resources. Management claims they are here to support the employees and care about their success and “concerns” but it’s all cold turkey. You’re just a number and replaceable keep that in mind. If you need a job where you’re comfortable being micromanaged and being harassed and keep in mind there isn’t good training provided as well and no room to elevate your career. The body language there speaks louder than words, don’t be afraid to asked questions and the environment. 

Picking customer orders from a pick sheet, stage in staging area to be loaded
We learned how to adjust to the cold, and pick orders in sequence to time delivery, Bills of ladings, and word excel
Management was very strict
All co-workers were great, they always helped out or gave good advise
The hardest part of the job was the heavy lift repetitively 
The most enjoyable part of the job was employee appreciation days

a typical day was always a new adventure for me I would learn something new every day about the job got assistance from co-workers to the supervisers but there were some hard days the hardest ones were when when clients want their merchandise right away and you have to run around with your head detached,the best part of my day honestly was when it was clock out cause i'd be worn out but it's very good job to work at.

Typical day shift hand off is on point, learned how to work in an environment that is multi cultural. Management communicate across the board. the work place culture is challenging and hardest part of the day is  when the shift is over. The most enjoyable part of the job is see them accomplishing our goals.

I worked there for a few weeks, and I came to realize that it isn’t a great work environment. They do not train you for this, and they won’t provide any information on what to do on the lines. They definitely won’t give you straight answers, and when your “performance” is effected by the countless misunderstandings, and no communication. They “let you go”. Do yourself a favor, and not apply for this job. It’s 5 days a week, and it’s not fun 

Never leave on time, they use people until they lose people.The machines break a lot. Management doesn't seem to want to be there. If you need an accomodation they probably wont hire you or fire you for it. 

No issues other than getting laid off and severance package was minimal. Some of the people laid off were seniors and long time employees. But due to changes within the company and the transfer of line to different location to cut cost. I understood why we were chosen to get laid off first.

Had bad management at the time of my employment but I here that has now changed. Reviews of new management has been mixed from the friends I still have that work there. Maintenance shop was clean and well stocked. Be prepared to be covered in slimy processed while working on equipment.
