Rocket-Farms

Typical day consisted of tracking all of our outgoing product to customers and resolving any issues if there was an issue with the shipment with both the carrier and the customer. In addition I would fill out reports, update customer files and assist customer service with inputting orders,

I gained much experience by working at Rocket Farms. I improved my excel abilities/knowledge, increased my customer service experience over the phone, and learned a great deal about the transportation aspect of a company,

Coworkers is what made working at Rocket Farms Fun. Everyone was very friendly, always willing to help, and maintained a professional yet fun demeanor.

The hardest part was also the best part of working there. No two days were the same, everyday had a new challenge  I had to learn how to overcome

After working as a production intern for the summer I was able to get a  wide breadth of the companies activites. Some of my activities included plant propogation, sales experience, travel to various greenhouse sites, grafting, and excell experience. I really enjoyed being able to experience many aspects of the company to get an understanding of the various tasks. My co-workes where knowledgeable and friendly; always willing to share their experience with me. The most difficult part of the job was leaving as I really enjoyed the mutlifaceted approach to this internship.

Great place to gain experience. Terrible place to make money. Always pressured to work harder and stay quiet. Never will they acknowledge your effort. They will jam pack you with work. Every day is different. If they no longer need you in your position you have two choices, leave or work a different position for less pay. The union is a joke. Union rep can't speak a word of Spanish. Hr is always enforcing good work practices without knowing the hardship that is working on a farm. Upper management is terrible. They suggest work practices that make no sense and lack strategy in the agricultural field.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Very flexible and u they listen to all the issues 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing I didn't find for it to stressful 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was family every one did they part

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
13 hr day for me but I can't speak for others

Stressful environment with lack of communication. Little chance for advancement and a very low morale. People who have worked there for many years often talk about "the old" and how the company has deteriorated over the years.

90% of my Job is independently by myself and I have been here with some coworkers for about 5 years. I disagree with a lot of the decision that are made here locally. I come to work and give 100% and above and I see that we are beginning to change since  we have a new CEO.

Horrible management the "President" himself is so unprofessional making decisions spontaneously its all about the money making but no care for their employees. I don't recommend working for these people there is too much favoritism.

not too much comments. Managers with a rough past of running businesses, I learned that people have value and rights and  do not expect to get that at RF, is not a place to work with a good environment.

The management team are in positions because they’ve been at the company the longest with no real management experience and it’s a buddy buddy culture where male dominance is given priority. 

It was a good job but i had to travle and wake up at 3-4am to get to Hayward so i can wait for the  company bus to pick us up and take us to Half Moon Bay but i learned about different types of flowers how to handle gentle things
