ROSE ACRE FARMS

when i first started it was amazing, after 4 years now, i have realized that management really does not give a hoot about the employees.
with half of the staff not doing their work(with no one getting in trouble), to the other staff, picking up the slack that everyone has left behind. as for an example, i recently had gotten into trouble for being "too concise" while my counterpart has not done any proper paperwork.
while the company is downsizing due to(as i was told when they cut my hours) "not enough parties are happening right now for us to sell eggs", they have cut the workforce in half and given the load of others work loads to less people, while letting others get the ok to do nothing.
a huge problem is how unclean the facility actually is, from mold to dust, to employees lack of motivation and incentive to clean properly.
recently i had surgery and was not told that all my vacation days and time off would be used for me while i was recovering, thus leaving me a whole year without any vacation time.
from asking management for how many days ive accrued off for several months to have 0 reply's, from you having to leave due to illness and losing all time off because of it, the mold, the 12-15 cent raises every 3 years, no incentives, no motivation to incentivize the staff, the random and cutting of everyone's hours and letting go of multiple people constantly, from even having immigration issues with people coming back to work with different names. Id say, while committed to a company who sure isn't committed to you, id never recommend this company to anyone.

At Jen Acre Farm (Rose Acres), my experience was notably positive on several fronts. Firstly, the production manager was exceptional, demonstrating expertise and effectiveness in overseeing operations. This contributed significantly to a smooth workflow and a productive environment. Additionally, the consistency of receiving good and timely pay enhanced job satisfaction and financial stability.

The presence of supportive supervisors was another key aspect of my experience. Their guidance and assistance fostered a sense of teamwork and ensured that tasks were completed efficiently. However, while management was generally engaged, there was room for improvement in terms of their level of involvement and communication with staff.

One challenge encountered was the language barrier with some workers who didn't speak English fluently. This occasionally posed difficulties in understanding instructions and collaborating effectively. Despite this hurdle, efforts were made to overcome communication barriers through patience and finding alternative means of conveying information.

Overall, Jen Acre Farm (Rose Acres) provided a positive work environment characterized by competent leadership, fair compensation, and supportive colleagues. While there were areas for enhancement, such as improving management engagement and addressing language barriers, my overall experience was largely favorable and conducive to professional growth.

Typical day involved my performing efficiency audits of the various management and feeding policies employed by Rose Acre's layer farm directors in Indianna and Illinois. I learned how to check for T2 mycotoxicity, sick or infirm layer hens, perform feed analysis, and evaluate workplace efficiency based on company financial statements. Management was very relaxed; as long as I completed the task assigned, there were no qualms with how I chose to address it. As an intern, I was not permitted to interact with anyone aside from upper management, and most of my work was conducted alone, so I cannot reliably comment on the workplace culture. The hardest part of the job was requesting release of information from upper management in order to conduct my efficiency audits. An average request would take an average of two weeks to earn a response, so I was only able to evaluate 2 of the 3 farms I had been assigned. The most enjoyable part of the job was the high degree of workplace independence it afforded.

This place does nothing but lie. Management in the department was terrible. I seen them screw more that one person over in the short time I was there. Even the head people from Indiana made the guys promises and did not stick to them. The man lied to me in my interviewed and told me that there were two other people in the department that worked in the shop. When I got there I found out that I was the only person. This place is cheap and refuses to spend any money even if the safety of their employees depend on it. None of their trucks or trailers are road worthy but yet they send them out there anyway. They done nothing but lie to me to get me in there and then done nothing but lie to keep me there, and then wanted to talk down to me and disrespect me infront of everyone when I couldn't get something done in their opinion of a timely manner even though i was the only one there with any kind of experience to know what a timely manner was. There was also no type of training on handling the office work. Everytime I asked my supervisor a question he told me to ask someone else.

A typical day at work involved packing eggs into boxes at extremely high rates of speed. Continously people call off and are short of staff and expected to do twice the work load with 0 incentives. Terrible management they tend to sit in there offices and talk awhile the laborers do all the work. The management and maitence will take hour and a half lunches if not longer. While laborers get nothing but 30 minute unpaid lunch. Not allowed to leave or go outside all day. Not allowed to leave early if need be. They do not accept doctors notes. They target whatever employees they so choose and write them up and have unfair work practices. They do not designate a set person to train employees; and when they do they make sure to not have the trainer sign any paperwork so they will not receive any bonuses for training them. There is absolutely no enjoyable part of this job. 

Absolute lovely crew of people! Even though there is some cultural differences  between us for the most part we all find ways of effectively communicating. We each know our job and help each other out, the work doesn't really ever end but we get fair breaks and the company cares about you. The management is great and they are amazingly kind people who try first to understand a situation before jumping to conclusions. I'd say the hardest part of the job depends on the type of person you are, for me I hate euthanizing birds that need it, but they don't make any one do that if it makes them uncomfortable. But it's still the hardest part of the job.overall my favorite part of the job is getting to raise your birds and see just what they are capable of, as a species they can make so much food for people and it makes me very happy to be a part of that.

The hardest part of the job for myself, as a supervisor, is the stress of meeting goals set by the company when my crew has less than average attendance. Our turnover rate is not really high, but it can be hard to keep crew members because the pay does not always match the amount of work or the amount of hours that is put in.

However, I have learned a lot about being a leader and how to handle certain situations that arise within a crew of employees. I have also learned how to be organized and handle a lot of paperwork since my job often times places me at a desk.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the people I work with. Here, we are indeed like a family. We help out where help is needed and we share a good atmosphere within the management and the crew members.

Well I could say that this job wasn't easy at all a lot of remembering were the parts went back after done cleaning machines. A typical day was for me to put on my boots and gloves on. And got ready my equipment what machine was I going to clean. I learned all eggs aren't the same size. My co workers were very helpful on everything if I didn't know something they would tell me how to do it. Am very thankful to them. The hardest thing I would say it was the fist day of work didn't know how to clean a machines or what parts to take off it was very stressful because my manager didn't check on my how I was doing or anything or if need help. He just told this equipment you have to clean this 14 machines. My enjoyable part was you didn't work on pressure you could work slow or fast.

A typical is running the egg machine regardless of job title.  Your putting flats in the machine or packing eggs...or something related.  When your done running eggs everyone cleans. You don't learn much. Management may as well be almost non existent. Disappear for long times, not all managers but some.  I feel there is favoritism and nepotism,  but what can you do.  People are friendly as most are however there 2 faced I feel as well.  The hardest part of the job is being given direction, or having what you need to get the job done or do the job at all.  Don't expect thorough training, you can't be taught what someone else doesn't know.  The blind leading the blind. There really isn't much to enjoy, some of the people are great.  That's all. 

Everyone working hard to meet the daily goal of packed eggs. And making sure all cracked and broken eggs are cleaned up after packing eggs. It was interesting to see what goes on with the eggs before they are sent out to the customers. Management needs a lot of work there is a lot of people who are suppose to be working that are not when other are. Hardest part of the job is the washroom and outside and inside transfer. But Rose Acre Egg Farm isn't a bad place to work and they pay really well and weekly just need to work on training new employee's and making sure old employee's are working.
