Stremicks Heritage Foods

Decent pay but company refuses to increase wages as cost of living increases. Absolutely no compassion for employees in regards to work life balance. Management will favor you if you show up to work and be willing to work a month straight without any days off. At times, the only possibility of getting a day off Is by calling off and getting a point for the sake of well needed rest. If you need somewhere to rack up the money quick and put in that overtime this is your place, but remember it’s at the sake of giving up your family life.There was a lot of standing around. The possibility of having weekends off or even getting your days off are slim to none, as everything in this company is done by seniority.

Heritage is not a place for anyone to join who is looking for a balance of life. Expect to work 7 days a week with no employee appreciation activities. Expect to have no training, no concept of Lean Manufacturing, and old fashion way of running. Heritage Foods needs to catch up in technology as they still use inner company mail boxes, old fashion inventory system (excel) and department managers have silos. Managers and supervisor ware yellow hats to indicate they are in charge creating a them vs us environment. I do not recommend anyone working here unless you have extensive experience, no family, and can handle the long hours.

This job had good pay/benefits, but offered little room for advancement, had long working hours, and I was on graveyard shift. Additionally it is a fast paced environment, in a manufacturing setting, so you must not be averse to physical labor and potential injuries associated with that. I would recommend it if you need money, and are not averse to lack of sleep, little time to spend with family, and if you enjoy repetitive tasks. Honestly, if you can get used to all those things, the job would be okay. The people that work there are interesting, and the pay is good, so overall I still recommend trying it out.

Management needs lots of work for improvement. 
Usually always understaffed due to people quitting or getting fired for ridiculous reasons. Expect to work 12 hours shifts and the possibility of no days off. Company is expanding its customer/client base therefore more productivity. 
Compensation is really great for the line of work and health insurance and pension is covered. Not ideal for family oriented man/woman. You can make a good chunk of money here if you put the hours in.

If you are looking to make money for a short period of time this is the place to do it. The people you would work with are good people but management sucks they don't care about there employees you will be nothing but a number in there eyes. work schedule is tuff 12 hours a day 6-7 days a week and you will sometimes work that schedule for months and months. No matter what you do how much time you put into this company at the end of the day you are nothing but a number.

no family time , the worst job i ever had. lies and more lies at this place. Hurry and wait is the motto here. Foreman on first shift is racial big guy that tries to intimidate everyone. all he does is sit down in the front office and fall asleep. another supervisor hates females. then the other one hates anyone that is not white. employees that care and no there job get write ups. The other employees that dont no there job at all, get away with everything. kiss butt in this place you will get far. if not you are a target.

Give us your opinion about:
 a typical day at work,what you believe you learned, management,
    workplace culture,the hardest part of the job,the most enjoyable part of the job
Not Even with the union present all the mechanics are under a Lot of pressure from managers


No work/life balance, no respect, no diversity, no opportunity for advancement. The hardest part of the job is staying busy during a lot down time due to a lot of equipment failure across the plant. Low moral is major across majority of operators, kind of a dog eat dog world.

Seven 12hour shifts pretty much sums it up. Don’t expect HR or the Union to help with much either. The company dictates when you get a day off which could be between 3 to 4 weeks straight of 12hr shifts.
