Sauer Brands, Inc.

I started working at Sauer's immediately after Falfurrias bought the company. Since it is just spices in Richmond, it isn't too demanding in terms of serious food production necessities. The job was a good blend (haha) of checking raw materials, spice blends, and packaging met specs. Everyone I worked with was very nice, helpful, and had alot of knowledge. The plant manager had an inner circle and was difficult to work with, especially for the Quality department. But, from speaking to another employee recently, seems they cleaned house and had a change in management, which sounds beneficial. The company started developing and swallowing up additional spice companies to add to their portfolio during my last couple months. May be different now, but I didn't have alot of upward mobility at the company. That was a reason I ultimately left, but a bigger reason was because I found a job in an industry I am more passionate about.

It's always telling when a company is highly engaged with online reviews of their company and culture. It's even more telling when you look at the history of roles they're unable to hire for. 

Simply put, Sauers in it's current form is wolf in sheep's clothing. This company will try to woo you with benefits and promises of work life balance when in reality, they're just a nothing special churn and burn shop backed by private equity owners looking to make a quick buck.

Instead of creating campaigns and selling more products, these folks are interested in cutting costs wherever possible. I'd recommend other companies in this industry or region if you're looking to get into the food processing industry.

Where do I start. I started in December with as a mechanic 5. First day manager told me sorry hope you have a good night and went home . No training no instruction.. he quit 3 days later. My shift supposed to have been 4-12 it changed to 4-4 Monday - Saturday Sunday was PM day. I worked as the only mechanic on second alone in a 3 million square foot build. While 1st shift had 9 people on staff. In a 6 month span I had a total of 3 maintenance managers. I am still waiting on my last check to be sent out to me. This company is a nightmare. Mechanical electrical and all.  Another large company came in and ruined and great name.

It's a decent job,but you are constantly reminded how replaceable
you are. If you can handle the monotony of factory work it's a easy job
They do offer pay for skills,where you can learn on the job skills and are able to increase your r pay.
The pandemic has cost them tons of employees so you will need to work overtime a lot. Shifts are 10hrs Monday to Saturday. So 60hr weeks.
They are really trying to make this company better, but it will take some time to see if it will help.

Office culture was VERY off (flat out odd).  Corporate headquarter team was amazing, until the realization that the pay scale was off and the transparency that was preached, wasn’t the reality. Lots of opportunity for growth, which I appreciate.  Many executive leaders were degrading and didn’t follow the company culture that they had you state at the start of EVERY meeting.  It was a great opportunity but when the bad started to outweigh the good, it was time to move on.

You knew what was expected of you. I learned how to run other machines to advance my career. The managers were easy to communicate with, and they understood that they were dealing with people and not just numbers or the bottom line. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the break downs. When everything clicks together you get a good feeling, and know you have accomplished something.
