Tootsie Roll Industries

Absolutely kills me to see classic brands made in a such a sloppy setting.  Equipment is always in some state of disrepair and downtime.  Every department is negligently understaffed.  Old building, old equipment, weak management with poor follow up and follow through.  The place is staffed with great people who just want to work but the condition makes it hard to do so.

We also can’t seem to source new help well.  We have people who get offers……..wait for it……….6 to 7 weeks after interviewing.  I’ve watched my job stay difficult because HR/corporate can’t get it together.

Please, please, pretty please, get it together.

Arriving at Tootsie Roll on a regular day, is always seeing the friendly faces of the management team. I learned that at Tootsie Roll we at one time or another become a family. Supervisor are always willing to help us out with issues that can make us happier in the workplace. Tootsie Roll has that atmosphere that makes you feel welcome everyone gets along marvelously.
The hardest part of working at Tootsie Roll is the manual labor. Machines are moving faster and the new technology is taking over. So until those automatic packers and or dumping robots are correctly situated the laborers are pretty much stuck with the heavy work. But there is always someone to give relief for bathroom breaks or even water breaks.

I worked for them Seasonally. I really worked hard and showed up every day on time and never late. I would even show up half an hour early every day to show my work ethic and went above and beyond what was asked of me. I was let go because I was at work and got a call that my father had just got a stroke and was at the Hospital. I asked to please leave early and explained exactly why and even told the supervisor I would bring a note proving so. They did NOT CARE and let me go anyways.

Working on a 1 man shift I was responsible for taking logs throughout the complex, monitoring 7 500 hp boilers, 6 chillers ranging from 450 hp to 750 hp. Monitor waste water systems and run cycles. My job was not difficult because I was trained to operate and maintain these systems and related equipment. I love my trade.

There’s a lot I can say about this company in the little time I was with them. Great benefits? Where? Strict? VERY especially in your first 30 days so if you can follow rules and be cordial and on time every day like a perfect juman that we aren’t then this job is for you. Free candy? Where? They a lie, u pay for the candy you want from internal candy store. Don’t work here

The people and management was very wonderful people.
