Thomas Foods International

I loved this job! It really helped me break out of my shell and it built my knowledge of proper food manufacturing procedures and how to implement food safety policies throughout the different environments within the building. When you begin, ask for all the rules and expectations and follow them to the T and you'll be alright.

When it comes to the product, this company strongly values their customers! They go above and beyond to make sure that the customers, as well as the general public, get good quality products. They do not cut corners! 

Random note* this company is constantly working on expanding work life balance. One day they randomely decided to give all employees, over their 1 year mark, 5 extra vacation days! What other company is doing this?

The company and its leadership structure provide for an unstable workplace that is reactionary rather than proactive.  Often times good employees leave when they should be retained.  The HR department is severely lacking and often fails to provide the necessary support for the management team.  The HR team also seems very uncaring in regards to individual employees.  Failings of the company are always blamed on lower level management.  Overall, it is a poorly run operation that will overpay salaries to compensate.    

I accepted a Customer Service Position but the job had nothing to do with customer service.  I never had any contact with a customer.  It was a shipping / receiving clerk job which would have been fine if the people were nice to work with.  Checking in and out with truck drivers.  Putting together shipping paperwork.  The people there were not good to work with.  Girls with really bad attitudes and management too so they did nothing about it.  Truck drivers hated coming to Thomas Foods and dealing with the clerks.

Wouldn’t recommend working here unless you have no other options. Or if it will be a temporary stop then it could work for you. But be warned of unprofessional senior management and departments that constantly try and get each other in trouble instead of a “team” environment. Ethics in the protein industry are last on the list for senior management.

Working with smart guys, I was able to learn tricks and shortcuts. Typical day consists of coming in and checking tickets and divide the work. The IT director was very cool to work with. I didn’t experience hardship at this work place. The most enjoyable is being able to take products home. 

Thomas Foods cares for the employees that work there.  They provide great benefits, competitive pay,  employee events, great management.  They are always changing to make sure that they give their employees are well taken care of.
Management is consistent and fair, and are open to listening to ideas to improve processes where necessary.
