The work area can be very hot because its a candy factory warehouse, there is no A/C , and the warehouse runs on band ovens which could make it even more hot. sometimes there is a one person that walks around the warehouse to provide Gatorade or water. Sometimes while working it could even be difficult to breathe because all your breathing is and oven heat. Now there are several areas where there is cold rooms but according to the managers you must stay at your work station until you are given a break. We have 3 breaks throughout the whole day 1st one is your 10 minute break 2nd is lunch break 3rd is final 10 minute break. We have selected hours either 8 or 12 hours a day and its mandatory to work 6 days of the week (Monday-Saturday) at one point of the year we must work 7 days a week because business catches up (Summer Time) It can be very difficult area to work in because how hot it is and the managers there don't really care of how much of a great job you can do because they don't care about their people its a appreciating workplace.

on a daily basis i was greeted at 3:30 coming into work by every fellow co-worker and upper management reviewed my schedule and testing required for every item and amount of boxes per item made individual bags for every item  . i put my hair net on washed and sanitized my shoes hand etc. walked to the far end of the plant started off in the ovens grabbed my samples and entered every area in the plant and picked up a sample reviewed every lot # and code date on the boxes to make shure they were consistent with the date and area it was made in .returned to the lab entered the item in the computer and labeled the bag with a specific F number to identify the item in the system . i then followed to make 3 plates 1 aerobic 2 e-coli 3.yeast and mold and numbered it the F number of the item then i proceeded to put 15 grams in diluted water with 135 grams . i then dissolved it and used pipettes to put a certain amount of product in each plate . i would also read the plates according to testing cycle. but all in out it was a great experience I LOVED IT!!!

Company has great people, from production to front office. Management cares but the communication is lacking, which hurts the production teams, because no one is aware of the problems that exist.  PD is a wonderful company but they need people in positions of authority to speak up and address issues and not rely on one or two people in charge to shoulder all of the problems.  They pay people to do a job, but don't hold them accountable for getting it done.  Supervisors are intelligent but afraid to tackle issues, management allows Sups to make decisions but no one will.  Great company, if I could have seen the way ahead I would probably still be there, I believe great things are going to happen there, but you have to put the right people in the  right places to be successful.

At the start of our shifts we check in with senior maintenance people about PM's and area problems needing attention. You are not pressured to get things up and running and skip safety. Safety is 1 of their main priorities. If there is an issue with something unfamiliar to you all the maintenance people and production leads are always willing to help and / or assist. Many opportunities for advancement and learning all the equipment in the entire facility. Your thoughts and feelings are always taken into consideration. If you have ideas that will help others they will listen.

This job is a fine job but overall if they can get you to work for less then what you Deserve to get paid they will let you work there with no question
 For the job that you do you will be getting less payed than the average amount but with more hours which makes the job a sticky place because you never have time to look for another job. nobody  complains because they're just making it by off this job.
On top of the 12 hours a day you only get 10 minute breaks and one a 30 minute. lunch I wouldn't say I wouldn't recommend a job here but if I did,it will be for someone who is really in a bad situation.
