Spreckels is a huge mess and it all starts at the top. They do not value hard work, in fact my supervisor constantly told me “slow down” because I was working too hard. I had a supervisor who literally did not understand the basic concepts of his job but the higher ups believe the supervisors and that’s why that place will never change. They legit target hard workers and start trying to get you fired. If you are looking for something permanent and stable then don’t work here. 

I can't speak how much I loved this job.  It had great structure, great pay, great benefits and management was supportive.  I learned how to use various different systems/reports for payroll/HR purposes.  Management was great, workplace culture was great, hardest part of the job was being laid off, most enjoyable part of the job was the people

I enjoyed being part of it, 2022 campaign, and learned a lot. The whole time I was there. I would work lots of overtime My time will go by so fast that I wouldn’t even notice it.

A learning experience, and a fun place to work and the supervisor are very open minded when you have questions concerning a certain project. When i first started i was maintenance.Maybe 3 months into the job they moved me up to a Mechanic Helper.

Improve on safety and care for those works at your company. Product is important but a life is worth more then the product combined with your company. Thank you for your time
 an good day. 

It was great I was exhausted every single day but I kept going back I really liked it until I didn't. Shame it's shutting down for good now. But it was really outdated equipment there, I did feel like I was going to die in a freak accident at least once a week

No life outside the job, pays to low. Also the shifts change every 7 days to morning, afternoon, and nights. Most of the time is stressful and they make you feel that you are replaceble every time. The weather is too hot and worst inside the factory.
