What is the best part of working at the company?
Where I was at, the external warehouse.  Everything was laid back for the most part.  Pay was ok, but not great. They have a very draconian attendance policy though ! 4 missed days, and you're fired !!!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of communication. And anything you say goes in one ear and out the other.  A general lack of respect from management. And all "management" does is hold constant meetings. Plus home office in California. Does things after close of business in Indiana. They change things up. And then don't bother to tell you until they pop up the next day. They expect you to be on call to answer the phone when your off the clock.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very laid back at the warehouse.  I have no clue about the plant.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Pretty much the same day in and day out.  5 days a week. An occasional half day on Saturdays. But very rare.

Long workdays on 3 rotating shifts. I learned a lot about regulations and formulating SOPs for my position. Most sanitation staff are either family or close friends so its hard to maintain accountability. All correction is done with the aid of cameras but some staff work around it. The hardest part of the job is getting staff to work together to meet deadlines. If something goes unfinished, such as required testing, it can hold up thousands of pounds of product which can then be at risk of waste or contamination. The most enjoyable part of the job is the time management achievements.

Nice Company to work for; overseeing 2- manufacturing sites and one rice mill.  Previous Safety performance was dreadful, but in the last year and half, the company has experienced history record setting numbers for positive Safety Performance.  Like most jobs at this level, there is a fair amount of politics.  The company is UK owned, so being politically correct is paramount.  I do enjoy the interactions with the Executive Management, my colleagues and those that are 'in-the trenches' getting it done.  Most of all I enjoy the fact that far fewer employees have been injured over the past 18 months and they have adapted very well the change into a Safe Behavior based Safety Program.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part about working here is probably the benefits.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The stressful part about this place is the work hours. They expect you to work your life away and doesn’t do anything for production whatsoever and on top of that production doesn’t even get bonuses which is odd because every other department does.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment and culture was good

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day is easy going. Some days are stressful but what job isnt

As an intern at PGPI, I was given the opportunity to oversee various capital projects. These projects were aimed at improving such things as product quality, employee safety, and operations efficiency. The position taught me to prepare scopes for the projects, send the projects out to bid, write capital expenditure requests, manage purchase orders, oversee installations, and more.

The company offered a challenging but fun work environment with coworkers who were easy to be around. My immediate supervisors were extremely approachable and informative. PGPI is, overall, a great place to conduct business.

If you don't mind working 12 hour shifts for 4 days and then getting 4 days off, then it's not that bad. 

The long hours can be hard, but, you get paid really well and have 4 straight days off, that's not even including if you want to take a day off, then it's 5 days off and 3 days working and then you are back to having 4 days off. It's pretty nice. 

Management needs work, honestly, it all depends on which shift you are in. 

Well you start with a brief meeting about what's going to run for the day, they tell you about safety and if an accident had happened the mentioned it and the safety precaution that were taken to fix it, it my time work there I learned to be more organized with paperwork, to write cleaner, keep areas clean, learned about different allergens and about safety,  management was great,the hardest part of work was work but I still finish the work

Relatively great environment for everyday work, but somewhat restrictive for advancement if part of Quality team. Production department has a high employee turnover so be prepared to repeat training protocol multiple times. Management for QA is friendly, helpful, and receptive but has limited say in the business side. 

PGP was  manufacturing plant within a commodity company.

The company didn't really know what to do with the plant and not a lot of resources were put towards efficiently making it operate.

The last year, the team streamlined production, increasing revenue and reducing cost plant-wide.  Even so, the parent company chose to shut down the plant.

Stressful place to work. Rare to get days off. 24 hour facility. Pay is weak. Benefits are decent, but not worth it considering all the downsides. If you don’t speak Spanish, be prepared to push a broom all day. The work is monotonous. Easy money if you don’t mind watching the clock all shift. I wouldn’t recommend working here.
