Palmer Candy Company

Company owner and select management members are great and supportive. Others on the floor and supervisory roles show favoritism, ineptitude, overwork the pillar members, are oblivious to actual operations, and take short cuts and deception tactics to hide mistakes, incorrect product, or use of substandard goods to cover the bottom line. Mix that with a toxic culture and little reward or recognition, they cover for inept management and will get rid of anyone pointing out failures. basic paperwork and records are doctored and the plant has open access to outside people and unsafe.

Palmer Candy management team really care about their people. The president will often walk the production floor and interact with production employees. They have lunches provided for major holidays, and give out a free custom t-shirt to all employees. During busy season the hours and responsibilities can get every stressful. The size of the company more than doubles during busy season, and sometimes temporary employees are hard to keep, making training difficult. The production employees take pride in their work, and it is very obvious that they want to do the best job possible.

Nice at first then you get to know the company. Poor communication all around. Production blamed for QA and sales mistakes. Too much turnover because of the amount required to work and at the pace expected to work at. No regard for employee moral. Poor management. For every perk they seem to give you, there’s always a catch. Deceitful environment. Sucks the life out of you.

My day consists of working hard to get the candy produced but others do not work and  lets slide on duties, Favoritism is abundant with certain people in the company. Others work hard to make better but plant manager is clear he has no knowledge of company production and no skill with people. The roles you take in Palmers is not the friendly family owned company it is far worse and very divided.  When i come to work I am not greeted with a hello and welcome but told by multiple people what i need to get done in that days time with more condescension between them.

The team members on the floor.

Never knowing who is plotting against you in upper management.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
8 am - often times 10-11 PM to meet deadlines.

I learned not to trust fellow Co  workers management and unemployment benefits this company needs to learn when to stop worrying about inclusion and care more about working with a team

Started at 6am to 4:30pm. Depending on what line you packing at a good rate of speed. You are standing in one spot for approximately half hour sometimes a little more depending on machines shutting down.

They have lots of hours, slows down during off season in off season, A lot of time you get a good Christmas gifts they do often give lunches to their 

Managers don't care about employees. it don't matter if your a veteran employee of 20 years or an employee for 2 days they have no appreciation for their employees. 

I enjoy the people I work with and the family culture. The company gave us great gifts for Christmas and provide us lunch often. The company owner really cares about the employees.
