Sabra Dipping Company

Sabra is new to the manufacturing game but with Pepsi Co. Acquisition, they have a lot go growth potential, with a 60% market share currently.

With that being said, Sabra is moving too quickly and possible tripping over it's feet. MGMT and HR are too areas of improvement here. I was a production supervisor and saw the entire HR department and about 7 Team Leads turnover in 2 years time. There's also turnover is just about every dept. that i've interacted with. 

Also, the practices are not as uniform as one should be. HR turned over completely in the last 2 years causing a gap in practice vs policy, and new people learning the entire process. We still haven't reached true standardization. 

From a maintenance standpoint, Sabra doesn't take the time to perform planned maintenance on it's equipment. The plants pushes its dept. by running 365 except for shutdowns for major projects but in turn the lack of planned maintenance causes a lot of issues with the equipment that could easily be avoided. 

The 12 Hour shifts are tough BUT you don't work often off shift unless you want to. A big gap is there is NO night shift support at all. TLs on Night shift are expected to hit targets that Day shift accomplishes with 10% of the support! 

At the salary level, TLs are overworked and there is no night shift support.

All in all I would recommend for an entry level TL role or if you're possibly higher up in the chain.

There was never a predictable day during my time with Sabra Dipping Company. From the very beginning of my day until the moments I walked out of the door in the evenings,I held the role as the eyes and ears for the Human Resources Department. Employees would reach out to me throughout the entire day for just about everything (i,e benefits, vacation, payroll,etc). Although the days were very busy, I enjoyed the chaotic environment and assisting everyone throughout the company. While at Sabra, I acquired a great deal of information in   Human Resources as well as Business and all aspects related to it. My hiring manager brought me into the company and took me under her wing, she made me an intricate part of the team and taught me a great deal about the HR field. I will forever be in great debt to her for this. Sabra was a very family oriented environment, the relationships with my co-workers was absolutely amazing, the company lived by the principle of openness which made my experience absolutely enjoyable. I enjoyed my interactions with the employees at Sabra, it is a very diverse company and there are tons of unique personalities that entered the building every single day. I enjoyed reaching solutions and resolving issues for everyone that needed me to do so. I will never forget my experience at Sabra and hope to join another company that lives by the same values.

I worked there for 9 years almost, and unfortunately, my experience was marred by poor management and a lack of clear direction. Communication from leadership was consistently unclear, and there was little to no support or guidance, which made it difficult to grow or thrive in my role. Decisions often felt arbitrary, and there was a general lack of transparency about company goals and priorities. The management style was ALMOST ALWAYS reactive rather than proactive, and employee concerns or feedback were rarely addressed. This made for a stressful and unproductive work environment, and ultimately, I felt undervalued and unsupported. It's a shame because the team itself was talented, but the leadership was not up to par. I believe the root cause was new management that came into play right after Covid. Ultimately regardless of the decent pay I decided to leave and find a company with true value and transparency to work for. Research and Development mostly talked than worked but we’re all very kind. Quality technicians are very down to earth but the quality management team has no consistency.  Production was as production normally is, hectic but there are a few good apples there. Maintenance team is mostly all attitude. 


The work at Sabra, entry level as a Packaging Associate on the production floor (which is where 99% of new hires start) is very mundane and extremely easy; there is a lot of production down-time which creates an atmosphere of frustration. I agree with the other reviews that there are a lot of lazy workers on the floor. I work hard and wonder why I am paid the same as others who don’t care about Sabra at all. Sabra hires anyone and everyone so there are a lot of young people whom haven’t developed work ethic; a lot of workers are lazy and complain constantly. Management is okay and the benefits are good…the work schedule creates great work/life balance. I agree with the other reviews that you should just mind your business and stay away from gossip and negativity. Make sure you
arrive on-time everyday and maintain a positive attitude. It’s all what YOU make it there. 

Overall, the company is struggling to regain footing and market leadership after a self imposed quality shut down in 2022.  Historical market strength has been replaced by a real battle for product preference and brand relevance, and the category is becoming commoditized.  As a result, the work environment is challenged and job openings are difficult to fill.  Blame is often assigned to individuals, yet is unjustified.  However, the category dynamics are interesting and there is an abundance of data to enable learning on a daily basis.

Sabra doesn’t pay well enough to keep up with the cost of inflation, let alone to be able to raise a family of 4 or more on. Their benefits are subpar at best for ones family. Management there were so pressured and stressed to meet production goals; that they would not plan proper preventive maintenance on equipment in a timely manner, just to keep producing hummus. Which sometimes lead to more downtime of the equipment. And the employees were rushed to get the production line back up and running sometimes while not practicing good safety practices. The employees were great to work around—I did enjoy that. Their were times when you show up for work that you would get sent home right then or after a couple of hours of work just because your line might be down. I didn’t have part time bills so I don’t need a part time job. Every cent I made went to providing for m my family.

When I joined the company this year, I was very hopeful.  Everyone who interviewed me seemed "nice". However,  when I joined, the team would have calls intentionally not including me, they provided horrific training, and were not supportive.  This was a new role for me, as for anyone, it takes some time to adjust and learn the ways. I learned so much and was getting the hang of things, but right around the holidays, they let me go. This was very grimey and low on their part. How do you do this to someone around the holidays? If you are considering working here, you better learn so FAST, and not make any mistakes at ALL, you should be TOTALLY PERFECT, otherwise they will dispose of you. No wonder the CEO stepped down. I will never buy the Sabra hummus again, they are distasteful in how they treat their employees. This company does not provide good training and easily gives up on its people.  

Extremely dysfunctional. Poor management , and Incompetent leadership. Business leads , production managers and plant managers promote an extremely hostile work culture. Supervisors work too hard and are very rarely recognized and are treated like children by their direct supervisors (Business Unit leads, production managers and plant manager). Supervisors are paid to work 12 hrs shifts but end up working 15 hrs (is this even allowed by OSHA?). The company and it's management need to learn leadership. Preference given to white females . Why would a white female be sent from the production floor as a supervisor to work at the HR office due to (an uncomplicated )pregnancy, but a black female has to work till two weeks before delivery on the production floor. These are two people of same job position.

Go into work everyday. Its always a treat to see what will happen next. Everyone frazzled and running around. "Rony Rony, SAP is down. the system is down"!!!

Ok which system? "I don't know but I cant print to my networked printer". 

Did you check paper? 
No!
Is it empty?
YES!!!
Ok, please fill up the tray and test. Let me know how things go. Have a great day!!! :)

Its our job to ensure the most satisfying and efficient for any user at any level. Basic to power users. They should all walk away knowing that they just got the best. 

Its because of the tools we implement that people can feel good about the amount of work they get done, thus feel good about their work. Creating a happy and healthy environment for our user base.

Sabra was a great and exciting company to work for.  The down side was that there was no plan or direction for the job because they were so new in development.  They went from a small vat of hummus that was hand stirred, to a conglomeration.  Exciting cultural diversity and a lot of folks to learn from We ordered just in time in a challenging environment.
Production, procurement, sales, R&D all worked closely on a daily basis.
Working there however was a challenge based on the time that it demanded from you personally.  There were only 4 ppl, including our manager, to order for all of Sabra, from the US to MX to Australia.  Wonderful learning experience that pushed you to strive for more, the pay was just very low.
