Pace Dairy Foods

My shift was very long, 12 hours, BUT, it was four on, then four off. They provided us with uniforms, and steel toe boots. The management was odd. They changed the structure of the hierarchy in the plant and jobs that normally would fall to a supervisor have been delegated down the totem pole to the average worker. Peer safety and performance reviews, for example, are things that should be done by a supervisor, instead of causing strife and animosity amongst coworkers.
The workplace culture is honestly fantastic. There are programs available to help an employee in need, in many ways. The Company always finds an excuse to feed you, and I mean feed you good! Pizza, subs, nachos, chicken wings, holiday meals, you name it- they will come up with a reason to treat you.
The hardest part of the job is the long hours, and with the implementation of new procedures, everyone has to learn all the jobs on the lines, I mean, that's not a bad thing at all..... it's a lot of learning.
The most enjoyable part of the job, I would have to say is that the pay is great! The benefits are phenomenal! For the most part, the people there are good people. As with every factory, there will be drama, there's no escape from that. Pace is pretty calm to that end though.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Support from leadership, flexibility, opportunities for other positions, great benefits, affordable healthcare, insurance, 401 k plan, tuition reimbursement. Regular raises and incentives. A good place to work.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There are departments to work in. There is natural, process, lab, maintenance, warehouse, sanitation, administrative support with positions anywhere from entry level to supervisory to administrative. There is overtime available hitch could be stressful for those who do not desire overtime.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A good enough environment with enough opportunities to keep me active at this place for over 25 years 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Emails, training. Orientations, meetings, walk about, audits tc.

I worked at Pace for about a year and a general breakdown is most of the jobs are pretty easy, especially for the pay with that being said, though you have no opportunity for advancement if you’re not in the inner circle and on top of that, there is insane amount of drama there, so I suggest keeping to yourself or otherwise you’ll be dragged into it, and there’s a family that works there and one of them has been there for years and if your buddy buddy with them or related to them you automatically get special treatment and will be put above everybody else. Don’t try and say something about it either. Otherwise they will weed out of The company pretty fast. I watched a lot of people lose their job because of that family and their friends. Be careful working here. If you need a job that’ll pay decentish and you can block everyone out and seriously not talk to anyone then I’d say its not a bad gig

Don't waste your time working for this company. All they care about is making money, pushing product out and make people work a ton of over time. The management sticks together and don't listen to the employees that have problems/difficulty working with certain management personnel. If your a person of color expect to work twice as hard.. they say they care about safety but thats a big cover up to make themselves look good. People complain complain about certain work tools and equipment to make work safer but they say they are working on it and after awhile you just give up trying to make a difference. This place is not worth the stress everyone and anyone that works there will tell you the same thing!

This is a good place to work especially if you have the desire to move up in the company! Some of the management is newer which can be a bit tough at times especially on 3rd shift but most of the time it is good! The company and workers take good care to ensure food safety and personal safety are the top priorities. Once in a while a shift may have you sweating so to the lines for packing cheese running fast but there is also a good amount of time to learn about your coworkers and make some friends along the way. 

If you are really for the money and ready to sacrifice your time after regular shift then its a good place for you. However when it comes to being valued for work life balance it is zero. They do not care about the fact that you have stayed overnight to work for 8 goods hours staying up and when it is time to go home & rest for next shift you can be held down against your wish to stay for more 4hours & work. Sometimes it is very humane as I personally got written up due to this. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The co workers are awesome, training was  solid. Safety  training  was great. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
COLD COLD COLD, YOU FIGHT THE COLD TO DO YOUR JOB.THAT IS TIRING AND STRESSFUL

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I think the work environment was great other than the cold people were very helpful very organized

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I really liked what I did most of the time

It's well maintained atmosphere with plenty of overtime its fast paced work.

The machine has problems almost every other day and they keep shutting down the line and call the technicians.

If you are an introvert this place is not gonna be good for you especially if you hate dramas, gossiping,taking behind your coworkers.

On the other hand if you are the reverse this places is for you do nothing rather them blaming and gossiping all day only 15 to 30 people are hard working and kind people the rest are all same

If you love to live at work and your only focus in life is making money, this is the job for you. Only way you can advance is if you are willing to sacrifice all your time there. The moral is aweful and the ones who have been there a long time are set in there ways, bitter and hateful. (Cant say that I blame them)  It used to be a desired job in the community, now they are begging for help and no one stays.  As I was told from someone up front "We have an HR and Management problem, not an employee problem". Firing people seems to be the one good thing this company can do.

What is the best part of working at the company?
0 accountability. Employees get away with not doing anywork and only get a slap on the wrist, if that. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having to do the work of 2 drivers because one of your drivers will be missing most of the shift. Also, having to work their overtime because they dont.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic behavior and toxic management thats always one sided

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Horrible, makes me wanna quit daily
