The Neil Jones Food Company

DO NOT RECOMMEND.
I worked here for more than 10 seasons because I genuinely enjoyed the work itself and the relationships I built with many of my coworkers. However, the work environment lacked professionalism and support from management.

If you are someone who can maintain strong boundaries, you may have a different experience. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I encountered some harassment, and when I reported it, my concerns were laughed off and dismissed as "no big deal." Employees were often yelled at without management stepping in, and I also experienced unprofessional behavior, including being asked by a supervisor for money.

The company was family-run, and hiring and management decisions often appeared to favor family members. Many shifts were consistently short-staffed, placing unnecessary stress on employees. By my final season, the chronic stress had taken a toll on my well-being.

The one positive I would highlight is Human Resources. When I finally reached my limit and spoke up, HR maintained an open-door policy, listened to my concerns, and treated me with professionalism and respect. I appreciated their willingness to hear me, even though I wish many of the issues had been addressed much earlier.

I'm grateful for the skills and experience I gained over the years, but the workplace culture ultimately overshadowed the parts of the job I truly enjoyed.

Everyone I worked with was trying to do whats best for the company, working hard and staying on tasks.  People in the office were kind, approachable, and willing to help if they had the time.  The people out in the plant were working hard under some very tough conditions.    If it's your first job and you can stick with it for a couple of years there are things you can learn and take to your next job. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
A few good people I worked with. Most not so much.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not really stressful just had to deal with people there and their bs

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
High school like. Very drama drama. Into tall the gossip. IF you weren't part of some of the mangers little click your opinion didn't matter.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I go to work, read emails, set my team up, deal with other managers, day to day operations, go home.

As an order picker, you complete as many orders as you can safely and efficiently. Learn to use RF inventory scanner device for locations of pallets, bins & drums of various types of tomato and other food products. Stage and label orders for truck loading & shipping. Management is good on the warehouse level but upper management is biased to who they like. Co-workers are friendly, helpful & easy to work with. 

The Neil Jones Food Company operates under the worst management team I have seen in my 10 year career. Lacks open communication from Directors to their teams, as well as communication between departments at a plant level. Goals set for performance indicators are blind to the capabilities of the facility. Plant management solely relies on their favorite employees while disregarding their deviations from company policy and procedures.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There are alot of favoritism with family members there an everyone is related by family 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressfull to the point people die or have strokes 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It all depends on the supervisor mood mainly because he’s after the lead

It’s a great place if your looking for something seasonal. They have morning midday and Night Shift so there is quiet a bit of flexibility. For the most part it’s an okay environment except for the occasional manager or supervisor that cares more about production then workers. Some are really great others care more about how much product can be made. Overall it’s great starter job for a few years and you need something that is seasonal.

Quick money. Seasonal unless you know the right managers. 
Pros: weekly pay, good source of income for 4 months. 
Cons: no health insurance unless you have worked about 1600 hours, then you can enroll in health insurance, but make no mistake managers will cut your hours to you don't hit your 1600 mark. Also seasonal work is a big negative for the company.

Management does not discipline employees that are blatantly breaking company policies. Women are treated poorly. Corporate is all about money, not employees dignity or well being. People are unhappy but think they can’t do any better because they are constantly beaten down. 

This company is great to work for if you are not in a positon of a supervisor or manager. Professionalism is a daily issue as it becomes absent quickly. Turnaround is incredible. Management flips every year. Rumors are a key driver on business choices at this facility.
