Ready Pac Foods

Arriving at work I consulted with both the production employees and supervisors as well as the prior maintenance shift in order to have a detailed itinerary on any issues that needed to be addressed or had occurred during my time off. I learned about a variety of machines which led me to a greater understanding of the production process. My co-workers were a great group which felt more like a family at work rather than just associates. The most difficult part of the job was balancing the needs of the production schedule and the required maintenance to maintain that schedule. I enjoyed the learning opportunities that were available by gaining an in depth understanding of the production process and the equipment necessary to accomplish that process.

I had 3 different positions when I worked here, it was quick for me to move up.  Leadership was an issue, not enough people being mature and handling situations like adults should.  Lack of communication amongst coworkers, not keeping the key people in the loop when it came to being updated with the work schedule and changes.  Did have to work a lot, but I was ok with the OT sense I have no kids, don't expect a great work/life balance, they will work you to death... Literally.  The job was easy, the people make it hard, other than that, it's a great job to start out with and easy to move up in your position depending on your work ethic.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at Ready Pac Foods is the bond that I formed with my associates, working with them side by side, nothing else….

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The long hours, lack of respect, inconsideration, unreal levels of expectations set for certain individuals 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I believe that the work culture there is toxic and it is so  deplorable that to survive instead of getting better everyone there is passing blame to stay afloat 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Short staffed, overworked, and underpaid

The work day begain at 6 am with a pre-op inspection to ensure that the department was clean and sanitary for the days production.After the department was operational Ihad to take attendance and issue points to the employees that were late or to the one's that had called out. I had to run quick feed back reports every 2 hrs to ensure that the yields were trending the correct way. Had to close out the work orders at the end of the work day.
The hardest part of the job at the beginning was learning the different types of produce. 
The managers and supervisor's had a great working relationship.

A typical work day includes doing the task of two people because at the time i was there there was a demand for more employees and the demand wasn't met. I learned how to multi-task and work well with a team, as well as alone. In my opinion, the management team abused their authority a lot. As far as getting the Job done, most nights the quotas were met. My co-workers were typically young and not as motivated to get things done. The hardest part of the job was working in below freezing temperatures. There isn't really anything I enjoyed about the job. The reason I stayed there as long as I did because I wasn't patient enough to find new employment.

My daily day started by opening my emails to see if I needed to take care of any urgent  check request since I handled  multiple locations  on the east coast.
Informed management of any issues or urgent matters ASAP
Due to cash flow situation everyday I would learned something  new from management, how to handle difficult  or sensitive vendors
daily opportunities as they come up.
I enjoyed making my vendors happy by sending their payments on time and keeping my word with them.
overall I enjoyed my daily activities at work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flc line leader the place is welcome anyone interested in a safe place for work I was working with the company for 5 years and half. I can't complain about anything because the give you place to grow with the company 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The place is cold but if u dressing up like winter you should be fine


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They are welcome anyone
I really like the core value 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Always normal get in the office check the  schedule after a short meeting get together with my teams and working on the task

You show up dressed for 32 degree weather and put on a apron, gloves, boots, and head gear. Depending on the department you work pack, cut, or label the products in the department.

I learned how to pack and to properly cut the products.

Management was while they tried to look out for us they were rude and thought they were better then some just because some of the workers where undocumented

The hardest part of the job was that there was no advancement in the company

The best part was meeting great hard working people

Strong Name, Strong Brand, Strong Products...

Very difficult place to work if you have a family.  Too many meetings, conference calls, and projects for a person to get done in a regular work day.  Expected to call in during vacations, on days off, and answer your phone at a moments notice.

On the flip side you work hard but they do allow you to play hard as well and the rewards if money is what you like are plentiful.

The best part of the job are the associates that worked for me.

There’s a two-tiered system at Ready Pac. One for the Plant Director’s favorites and one for everyone else. Managers accept free food from the cafeteria without repercussions if they’re the Director’s favorites. Managers fail to be accountable for deadlines or budgets without repercussions if they’re the Director’s favorites. Please beware!!!!
