PLANTERS PEANUTS

I'll start with work culture, terrible. No one cares. This including management and hourly EEs. All EEs have the same attitude which can be summarized as "Not my job". 

Management- at this point, I would say have just checked out. They implement processes without ANY follow through. also won't hold anyone accountable for anything unless you messed up and are probably getting suspended. Which sounds great but when you have tasks to complete and your help disappears consistently, is slow to do simple tasks and plain acts like its their first day. The IDC attitude get old. 

Benefits/PTO- New EEs work more than those with seniority. so don't expect to get consistent days off. I'm going to count scheduled days off as a benefit, working weekends(thus-sat every other sunday) and getting mon-tues off is just bad for anyone with a family or with goals outside of work.
Combined with 60-70 hour weeks this next thing is almost a dealbreaker. PTO is forcibly taken when you miss, NO MATTER WHAT! no sick pay, as a new EE, it takes 4.5 months to save up for a 3 day weekend. so you can have some decent time off.(sometimes they still try to draft you for OT) but if you were to miss for any reason, 12 hours of PTO is taken and put on your check. Hope you didn't have anything planned.

On the side here it gives suggestions on what to put in my review. One of them says "the most enjoyable part of the job". well its leaving at the end of the day.

Overall this is classic example of a dead end job. Pay is good but moving up here is nonexistent. 

My overall review of planters is I have seen alot of full time Employees, do a whole lot of nothing  making a minimum of $24 a hr, while us temps bust our butts starting out at 10.75. I get it you gotta start somewhere. But seriously the start out pay for temps is laughable. No wonder they can't keep people when u can go to a burger joint and make that but not have to deal with the bs of a factory.  If they paid temps better and gave us a clear path to get hired on, like we need you to work a minimum of 600 hrs before you can be hired on, guess what im gonna come in on my day off to get the hours,  but that's a fantasy because the reality is the more ppl they keep temps the more they save. My overall for planters in my first month is. Other then the extra breaks this place is just as bad as other factory's here in the Fort. I give it a 2🌠 rating

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy and fun and full of life I loved the housekeeping job. It was the best job in the plant plus cleaning is my favorite hobby

As an electronics technician, the day was very fulfilling. Lots of opportunity to be involved with the automation and programming. Always being able to make the repairs necessary so that the manufacturing process could continue and the company meets its goals. 
As a supervisor, the job was demanding, there was a lot f responsibility to make the numbers for the shift. The culture was good. The work force worked well together with no problems

Start out with a team meeting every morning about safety, quality. Go to work station set up for days work according to that days production run. Learned operation of different machines, train others as well, forklift and all warehouse work. Management would make sure you were skilled to work alone. Work safely and work smart. Starting work at 4:00 a.m. was the worst thing. Money and the people and the variety of jobs learned.

Being a temp for them is good money but expect that pay for many years to get even the lowest full time position. That means less pay than most people there, no benefits, no PTO, no actual sick days, nothing for years. You basically call in more than 5 times a year without a doctor's note and you're fired.

Worked there as a filler operator and within those 3 months I had to learn everything on my own and can never find anyone to help with questions. Some of the employees are rude and they are always short so if you're new be prepared to stay over whether you like it or not. The pay was great and trust me it pays good because you definitely have to really really bust your butt. No life outside of that place. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The employees and company overall is a great place to work and grow in a career

The high amounts of product needed to be done

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great  and wonderful  place to work
