TRINIDAD BENHAM

The worst job I have ever worked, and that's no lie. I regretted going to work until I found something else. 
Management at this job has its favorites. Folks here are messy and miserable. The workload is not worth the pay if you're going to be in production.
HR is all over the place and unorganized. I would not recommend my worst enemy to go and work here. 
You can't have any type of jewelry, bracelets, electronics, or even your phone. The expect you to leave it in your car or locker. It's like you have no life working at this place. They want you to out their number down for emergencies so that they can be all in your business and tell everybody (because this is a tight-knit organization where everybody knows each other because they're from around the same little town).
If you work the 10 hour shifts (Mon-Fri) you will get two 20 minute breaks that are paid and an unpaid 30 minute lunch break for which you have to clock out for.
By the time you walk from the floor to head to break, the break is almost over. You literally have to run just to get the best of your break time.
They have fans in the building but 99% of them don't work, so the job is hot.
The clocking in and clocking out process is a headache!

I have to be at work before any machine starts production ,I love assisting the operators making sure their date codes are set before production.There is always certain operators that require a little assistance. Everyone is always eager to let me know how their day is going , and it's really nice to be seen as someone that's there to help and not as someone that's telling them how to do their job.Most of the managers are nice but I think that my supervisor is the best.And from her I've learned to check and double check myself.The hardest part of my job would be accepting the fact that I can't always be at every machine at the same time when there is a problem.The most enjoyable part of my job is at the end of the day when I can look back and  see everyone getting together and laughing and talking about what went wrong that day and how to fix it the next time.

Current supervisor talked Trinidad Benham up so much saying they pay forklift operators $17.00 after you hire in from temp agency (HE LIED). Not knowing even from the temp agency what the top out pay was on his word i started. I worked 2 weeks and in that time i found out that the job tops out at $13.50 after a year also they had me on forklift for 1 1/2 days then told me to code pallets but didn't give me a code sheet after i coded, then they tell you it's wrong that's your training!? This place is a JOKE and so is Mismanagement! I talked to people during my time there and only a few could speak english, they told me they came in groups as to work a week or two and to move on to another town/state. Stay away from this place!

I would clock in get my paper work and my forklift to start my day wait for the pallets to be done so I can take them and put them away. I did learn to be a better forklift driver while working here the co workers were fine I had no problems with anyone. The management was ok but none of the managers would tell new works what to do or how to do the job when hired, they would just put them out there and hope the other co workers would tell them not professional. The hardest part of this job was just getting through the day other than that the job was easy and the most enjoyable part of the job was some of my co workers and getting paid.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Fairly laid back environment. Small work force.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of organization. And at the specific location I worked the employees from the company that existed before the Trinidad Benham takeover wanted to do things “their way” and ignored corporate guidance and policies.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Relaxed most of the time. And sometimes disorganized. Left hand didn’t know or care what the right hand was doing.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Check schedule for inbound deliveries and confirm outbound shipments for the day. Prepare shipments. Coordinate pick up of shipments.

The managers at Trinidad Benham in the City of Industry are really bad. They force employees to work overtime, even on Sundays and they scream and yell at you if they feel you aren't moving fast enough. They force employees who have no experience in machine operating to operate the rice/bean filling machines which many are over 20 years old and constantly break down. At the end of the day, many workers here are told to sweep/mop the floor all day because the machines constantly break down. The break room only seats 6 people out of over 50 who work here so sometimes you have to stand to eat your lunch. Break is only 30 minutes long. I definitely would not recommend this company to anyone.

Trinidad benham is a job and that is all. You have to earn your vacation time. First year .78 a week it averages out 1 year after a year. 1.54 a week after your first year. That averages 2 weeks a year. You keep that for 10 years. No sick pay and No personal time. If your sick and emergency you have to use vacation time or you do not get played. And if you don't it goes against you. 3% raises if that

A day would pass by fast. I never really worked for a company that cares about their people. Management is fair to workers, the comrade is good the hardest part is the time it took me to fit in and to be excepted but you do your job and the other's will except you most the people there have some years working at Trinidad so they make you earn respect.

I loved my job at Trinidad Benham it is unfortunate that I had to leave. I fell and broke my wrist while on a vacation. They were very supportive. Unfortunately my FMLA ran out and they were left with no other choice but to terminate my position with the company. I had to undergo 3 different surgeries concerning my broken wrist. I will never have any thing but good things to say about this company. The best company I have ever worked for.

Overall a good place to work. There is always work due to be being one of the only companies to package beans and rice now. Management and the floor Management only care about how many pallets you get done in day. If you have problems or questions they tend to belittle you and make you dumb for asking for help or asking questions.
