Rudolph Foods

As plant manager I was responsible for all aspects of site performance - cost control, product quality, customer service, personnel development and safety, and regulatory compliance.  Being a smaller food manufacturing company, we did not have the support resources that are available to a larger company.  Thus, I needed to provide additional leadership and direction and often leverage outside resources to resolve issues.  The complexity of our operation was in packaging.  My years of experience at Frito-Lay were extremely helpful in setting performance goals, production scheduling, operator development, machine maintenance, and machine operation for our packaging operation.  All the focus in these areas resulted in improved performance.  Packaging equipment reliability and operator skill sets and execution were the biggest challenges.  Driving improvement in these areas was also the most enjoyable part of the job as it was rewarding to see these efforts pay off.  

I'd recommend this job if you need to stack some money over a few months period. it's not meant for a person with kids or family, management was ok, draft will kill you especially if your seniority is low (your getting called in every draft week up to 7 days) one thing that needs changed is PM 
Preventive maintenance is a necessity here everything breaks down all the time and all they do is band aid it till it works again (maintenance is a joke) and God forbid the elevator breaks down your hand stacking 80 90 pounds boxes till it's fixed (longest time it's been down was 3 hours) 12 hours puts it over the top after all that.

A typical day at work includes oversee the overall functions Food Safety and Quality Assurance department.. Monitoring policies and procedures such as HACCP, SSOP, SQF and regulatory programs. Work closely with USDA inspectors. 

What you learned: There is a different between a manager and a leader.

The hardest part of the job: Have to let people go

The most enjoyable part of the job: Developing my team. Developing a Quality Tech to become a supervisor. Increasing my Audit score every year. Winning the highest Audits scores within Rudolph Foods

I was only with this company for 9 months or so. I enjoyed my work and my performance was not questioned.

The work conditions are not only terrible, smoky, hot and poorly ventilated there is a completet lack of regard for human limitations there. You are expected to perform faster than a machine averageing packing 71 bags per minute. The hours are long and mandatory over time with little of your day left to yourself. Prepare to work yourself dog tired and be exhausted when you're not.
