Southeast Poultry

The morning HR treats all the employees horrible. She tells at everyone for small things. I worked there with my grandma and she's been there for a year without a raise. One day she went up to the morning HR about a raise and the lady told her she wasn't allowed to get a raise because she wasn't from this country. The night shift HR is completely unprofessional and was stopped in the parking lot and the cops had the k-9 unit come out and search her car and something was found because they had her move her car to the car was that wash up the road. 
People are very racist and don't care who you are, you will get treated bad. 
I was on night shift for a month, moved to day shift because I was told I was going to get paid $10.50 an hour and put on dark meat debone and I ended up getting paid $8.50 an hour and put back on the line when that was what I did during the night time for $9.50.
This place is constantly hiring because they're losing people every week for how things are ran. I don't recommend working here.

You have to be buddy buddy with higher ups if you ask you wanna learn something else they tell you yes but never teach you. HR is very rude and needs to learn some manners in my opinion or need more training in there job or just be honest with there workers and not have an attitude. The co workers were diverse but some would like to start drama like highschool. All you do is stand for 8 hours a day on the line or your packing that's all I saw supervisor are never there breaks are never at a certain time and if you wanna go to the bathroom good luck. It is very unsanitary in that plant I have seen stuff you wouldn't wanna even be eating the chicken from there. Honestly if you are looking for quick money and don't wanna be noticed work there you will get treated badly but it's a quick way to get money quick.

I wouldn't recommend this place to people I don't even like. There is no safety at all. No harness used when above 4 feet off the ground. No 
e-stops on half the equipments.  Management will watch you work for over 12 hours on camera from home while they go hunting for the weekend. You will work 24 hours and they will still expect you to show up at 5 am the next day. They say the starting pay is at $30/hr but really will start you at 26/hr. They don't care about your wellbeing or the fact that you have a life outside work. Be prepared to work 7 days 10-24 hours. There is always projects on weekends. They refuse to spend money on electricians and before you take this job be sure you have nothing else going for you. Maybe take the job to get your feet in the door in maintenance but leave ASAP. 
TRUST ME!

I enjoy working here because it is a straight forward and simple process. As compared to other poultry facilities Southeast Poultry is much more laid back atmosphere. Working here has provided me the best work/life balance of all the places I have worked. If you have a good work ethic and are self motivated there is plenty of recognition and reward for your efforts. The management team is straight forward and fair. If you haven't worked in a poultry plant before, it is required to be cold and is typically wet. As with any job, you get out of it what you put into it.

i would not suggest working here. no paid breaks. they take your 2 30 minute breaks out of your time every say. you have to provide all tools for your work. also every other work area because you are expected to work all areas. i started out at 11.00 dollars within 6 months i was making i was making 17.00 dollars. i had a accident on the weekend and broke my ankle. i asked for fmla. i was told they didn't do that. they final gave it to me. but apperently i didn't make it back in time.

southeast poultry has been one of the best work experience I've had. it gave me the opportunity to start junior management and still gave me the training to become a supervisor. fun place to work were we developed a family like work place were everyone would get along with no drama. everyone knew their place from the CEO down to your average hourly employee. the sad part was when we got the news that the company was going to shut down our shift.

most days are fairly easy and good i’ve grown as much as i can here i don’t see myself being able to go any higher in my position than what i am now but thats not too big of a deal. there are some days when we work much later than what we are supposed to so the work/life balance isn’t the easiest its mostly work. the QA and shipping management is really good but the production management can be short tempered. i’ve learned a lot sense being here especially about this company itself. 

Management here is absolutely horrendous. Never work here. The pay is competitive, but you'll soon see why their turnover rate is so high. Barely any to zero bathroom breaks for production. You're treated like absolute garbage. HR is a joke, those ladies are absolutely horrible to people. The whole company is absolutely abysmal. I worked sanitation for a while there but it's no better in that department either. They don't treat you like a person. 

Do. Not. Work. Here.

In all the almost two years I've worked for them, they never got my check right. There was always missing hours or days not properly recorded which greatly affected my paychecks. Our HR was not a really nice lady so it was always hard to get documents I needed for either a doctors appointment or any other family emergency.

Hard work standing all day, has 2 30 minute breaks. People are friendly and overall the atmosphere within the plant is somewhat happy. I would have stayed there but needed more money. Pay is low and not enough overtime to make up for it. I work for beef plant in Minnesota now and make good money working 60 hrs a week. But would much rather be living and working in Roger's Arkansas
