Park 100 Foods

Park 100 taught me a LOT, because it can put you under pressure & stress. The hours are long of course (10-12 hrs) & pays alright money. COMMUNICATION IS KEY, & that is sometimes very difficult to do in such a loud company, at least for me. It is very physical in most departments. Go in with a positive attitude, communicate others, & focus on your work & you'll be fine. BUT..things do break constantly, people do make mistakes, production can be chaotic, so be prepared for being moved around to different departments. People ignore rules & regulations there & make do with what they have, but I figure that's a lot of factory work in general. Management may occasionally tell you one thing yet do another..it happened with me quite a bit. There are not enough employees that actually stay, so they are always understaffed, putting a lot of pressure on everyone there. 

Everyone's experience is different. If you can stay there & adapt to everything there, you're a strong sob in my book. But everyone handles situations differently, & I wish everyone there the best of luck in whatever situation they're in. 

Personally I stayed there for over 2 years & am grateful for learning so much about myself & factory work in general. Wish the stress didn't affect me there. I feel that if I had not felt so stressed, I would have been a better employee. I TRIED. 🌈⭐

EDIT: I put in my 2 week's notice. I requested my vacation pay. A day later, I look at my work schedule & suddenly, someone had changed my schedule to make it look like I had had a vacation day on a work day that I'd already worked 10 hrs for. And suddenly, the day that I had already been scheduled to have off was marked as a vacation day. They didn't want to pay me all 60 hrs of my vacation & slipped those in my last week. 

Whoever manages the hours & scheduling is sneaky & that just confirmed that I made the right decision leaving. 2 years taught me a LOT, thanks.

The company is growing faster than what it is ready for.  They are always short staffed as they have a huge turnover rate. There is definate issue with r&d and the plant mangers and regular employees get caught in the middle. They do not train people properly. You can hire in for a position, but the lead does not have to give you that position. It is sad because the owner of the company has no idea how things are really ran. This company has some very good employees and it is sad to see them go undervalued . Your points don’t fall off unless you have perfect attendance for 90 days and then it is only 1 point that falls off. Their insurance is only physicians insurance. I needed an ultrasound on my gallbladder and I couldn’t go to my local hospital. They want you to drive a hour away on your day off to get it done.  I enjoyed doing my job, producing a product that goes all over the world. I would never go back because of the overall moral.

It's pretty difficult working for a company that often rewards bad workers by giving them easier tasks, and punishes good workers by forcing them to carry the brunt of the work. Good workers are often put on more difficult tasks daily for the same rate of pay as those who are expected to do a lot less.

Break a production record? That's now the standard. Do any less and you are considered a bad worker. Something has been proven to be impossible to do over and over again? We're going to continue to try it every day any way.

All of this, with the inclusion of one compulsive liar, one micro-manager who often doesn't know how things actually work, and one crude, unprofessional, angry man as the management team, finding solace in management is pretty difficult as well.

Management are worthless, they only cater to employees who like to bully other employees. Large number of the employees are usually high on drugs, even couple of the line leads while working or when they come back from breaks. (Drug test prior to hiring is pointless, especially when employees are selling, buying and using on the premises, management are even aware of it and do nothing). Don't feel very safe working here. Money is decent, but treatment of employees bad, even have heard management screaming at employees, especially leads and operators while using foul language. Do not have an end time for 2nd shift each day, never know what time you will be leaving, have to stay till all batches are done. Work most weekends.

It was a high stress kind of job when it shouldn't have been. I love my job there but due to circumstances I was unable to stay. Should not be so much stress to get your job done. All safety guidelines should be followed and there should be air units and more ventilation in the warehouse. Very unsafe to breath in so many spices and powders. Some managers are very unfair and unjust to their good employees. I absolutely loved the work I did but the manager where I worked was a bully. I got screamed at for my beliefs and it had nothing to do with my job or work ethic. He wrote me even though I had a doctors excuse and was very ill. Threatened my job and then tell I'm a dependable and excellent employee at the same time.

I start at 730am, I look at what we are cooking, and start cooking pasta for the day. I cook for restaurants in Kokomo and surrounding areas. I have to cook the pasta in a room that's very hot and the pasta has to be cooked perfectly or the cheese will over cook it and the client will send it back. I have to manage how fast or slow to cook, when to take lunch and when to have an assistant. The hardest part is staying in the hot room all day, weighing and pushing the pasta to the room where they will mix it all together. I enjoy making excellent product.
