Tip Top Poultry

First thing in the morning i checked trucks that had been dropped of with product and took inventory on all trucks dropped on yard. Then I made a game plan on what trucks on the yard plus trucks coming in for that day with product that was on the schedule to cook for that shift. Then i took a walk thru inventory count of what we already had in the cooler from previous loads. after that I took an average of test weights which was performed on every load unloaded on every truck into the cooler and emailed them to the main office. After I was momentarily finished up with all paper work and emails I performed a walk through of the cooler to insure it was clean and checked off hourly inspection sheets that was part of policy and procedure.Also I was over another section that cleaned seperaters for shipping product to make sure that we kept up and then informed the shipping supervisor how many we had clean and he would tell me how many pallets to send to him. When outside trucks came in I called Qa to come check the product to ensure it was up to psr with policy standards.

I started working for Tip Top in 2011 when I got out of prison. I have worked in several different departments for different managers and have been very happy with the job. The pay is still a bit below the industry average even though they have bumped it up considerably from where it used to be, but the people are wonderful and make it all worthwhile. We are like a family here and I love it. There have been some changes in upper management lately, and they all seem to be very positive. There is definitely room for advancement here. I have personally seen one employee who was hired while still at the transitional center in prison who started on the line and is now a department supervisor. It all depends on how motivated you are. The benefits are awesome, and the onsite WellStar nurse practitioner can do almost anything a doctor can do. They have two full time chaplains who hold daily bible study groups, and they really go out of their way to help employees. Every company has its good and bad points, but Tip Top is definitely a special place to work and I highly recommend it.

Started with takeing a group video test in orientation and if you answered wrong you did not get the chance to try to correct your answer and once I got hired they put me I a debone packout position stacking 30 pound boxes which I found that to be simple could of done that all day then they switched me over to some bagging chicken position which can get backed up and cause chicken to go everywhere and you can't slow down or stop the process and you wind up looking like the bad guy well that stuff kept happening to me so I got Fed up and walked off the job they should redesign that particular machine at the bagging station and design it to where the machines can fill and bag the chicken anyway wish they kept me stacking boxes permanently instead of putting in a spot where your set up for failure.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The team work with the fast pace in that work environment it kept me focused and motivated knowing that staying efficient made a difference in the days production 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
“Honestly, the speed of the line can be a lot sometimes. It gets loud, cold, and the pace stays up

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture at Tip Top seems a little bit of a mixed bag depending on where and when you work:

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
“Most days I’m just locked in on the line — keeping pace, doing my part, and staying synced with the team. It’s fast and physical, but once you get your rhythm, the day goes by pretty quick.

Started with Tip Top at the first of the year. My first day i was put on pallet jack to operate it. Within two weeks I acquired the knowledge of the scanner where I scanned product, knowledge of my freezers to know where certain product was located, and even learning codes for product when being weighed up. I Have over four years driving forklifts(Stand-Up & Standard)so if a co-worker called out i put myself in a position to know all areas so I could be helpful and fill-in wherever my supervisor might need me. The hardest part about the job is knowing the company is not trying to pay what is fair and working with people that don't want to see you succeed. The most enjoyable thing about working for Tip Top is we get paid every week and they have excellent benefits.

It provides cooked chicken broth, fat and chicken skin, and raw deboned chicken meat and ground chicken. Tip Top Poultry conducts inspections for its chickens for maintaining their quality.

I worked here for quite a few years. I've have worked in most departments on every shift. Pay is extremely low and advancement is possible but mostly based on how much they like you, not your qualifications. If anything else is possible I would do that, but this place is better than being jobless. If you're a technician or looking to work in maintenance I would steer clear. You won't learn enough to carry to another job and the pay is super low, $14/hr if you're lucky depending on your experience. People are lazy and get away with not working every day while they surf YouTube and Facebook. Promotion is all about favoritism and that's it. 

I really liked working at Til Tol Poultry, it is a very great company. I learned a lot from this company and i was able to grow professionally there. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to work. Tip Top Poultry offers great advantages like Health Insurance , which anyone would be interested in because it is very at an affordable price . They have savings account where you can keep your money safe and save it at the same time . You will be able to have it whenever you want . I really recommend Tip Top Poultry to anyone that is in need for a good company to work for.

Only way to may your way up is by having family or friends in management, in my case mi worked all three shifts. On 2nd shift I learned everything from wrapping a pallet to loading and unloading trucks, setting orders down, staging orders and palletizing, as well as material handling in production. I was certified on every lift and could perform every task very well. To say the least I applied for lead and it was given to a person who did not know how to operate any equipment, their reason was that the person had more time there. Also the trainer doesn’t know how to operate any equipment either. Very unsafe place to work overall.
