What is the best part of working at the company?
Awful company I worked overnights they will overwork you if your lucky you’ll get a day off out of two weeks overnight people are rude when my lead was off most of the leads would take advantage of that and make you cover them while they chit-chat and take longer on breaks and lunch no one offers to cover you for lunch or break which is annoying because when they want their lunch and break they expect you to cover them also mechanics get mad and throw a fit if your machine is messed up will Ignore you even if they see a mess of production going to waste you have to figure it out yourself until they feel like it’s time to help you and you still  get in trouble for the production going to waste which makes no sense don’t recommend this job at all

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Them knowing the machine is done and still letting you run it until it becomes a bigger problem and a bigger mess 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Overworked and tiring don’t recommend this job to anyone

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful and full of unnecessary drama job would be okay if the people were nicer

Zero room for advancement. Raises are hardly ever given, and if they are they are insulting. Hourly employees are always expected to work 7 days a week while salary mangers got the weekends off. The insurance offered is a joke. Only certain departments had an opportunity to earn bonuses and the Christmas cards that were given to the employees cost more to make then the Christmas bonus ($25, can you say cheap).  Upper management would tell you one thing and then conveniently forget they told you that when it didn’t work. Expected people to do the job of 2 or 3 other people. President is not a people person. Witnessed him yelling at people multiple times bring them to tears. 

Do yourself a favor, no matter how much you need a job don’t work here. There is no teamwork and the President will always do something to make life more miserable because he thinks he knows everything.

I worked there for almost six months, I felt that I was just fixing machines that would keep breaking down and trying to keep them going. There were times we would rebuild them to a certain point but I felt to a point I was spinning my wheels. If you are in maintenance you will work 6 days a week. Which wore on me as well. You will also babysit/assist production in (helping) them fix issues on machines. Baggers, box erectors, and the ovens. There is no training so do not expect it! I learned from my coworkers and tried to pick up on things as best as I could. The machines are old and worn out and you spend most of your time repairing sometimes the same parts over and over again! In my opinion management would rather spend the budget on ingredients rather than fixing the machines properly to prevent breakdowns! I wish the next employee the best of luck!

The high turnover rate should be an indication.  Also, watch your commission check super close.  In general, RUN!!  Management can and will make up issues to say you are not doing a good job, but they are nowhere to be seen.  They are supposed to sell space and they really, really do nothing but walk around like they are important.  The mentality of management is do as I say, but don't ask if I am doing what I am supposed to.  You will get almost no support from the managers, except for the manager who stacks your product.  That poor guy gets beat by management too.  It's been that way for years (I'm told because I wasn't there too long).  Again, watch your commission, they have a wild way of manipulating what you get paid versus what you earned!!!

Poor communication from managers. Policies changed on a weekly basis. Hostile work environment and they treat employees like garbage. Managers are allowed to talk to people however they want. You're paid solely a commission and a small base pay but you will work loading and unloading your truck on your time. You will be held accountable for all the product in a shared warehouse. If someone takes your product it's your fault. If you have a problem, there's no one to turn to because the HR lady is the presidents wife. They like to pretend like it's your route but you have no equity in it and are expendable at any given time.

The management at Tortilla King has much to be desired. Most of the management has been in that particular job or career for most of their lives and are stuck in their ways with no will or want to change anything. They don't listen to the people working the lines or doing the repairs on the lines unless they have favoritism towards the individual, but the management does their jobs to the best of their abilities when it comes down to it all.

A typical day at work was always a new problem to deal with to keep the equipment running.  I learned that doing better than your best and giving it your all doesn't give you job security.  The management is much improved from the time I started until I was laid off.  I enjoyed my co-workers, every one was really down to earth and friendly.The hardest part of the job was organizing and cataloging a parts department that had suffered from years of neglect and poor organization.  The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to eat tortilla chips fresh and hot off of the line.

very un organized very stressful place to work you have to work every weekend no weekends off they work you over time every day the lunch room is way to small no where to sit and eat your lunch only 3 chairs in lunch room not enough help as far as order selectors to fill the orders only two workers  to many back orders  on a regular  communication sucks there  it should be daily communication between manager in production and operation manager/supervisor so product will never be low for shipment so it won,t be back orders every day/week  etc etc  note; just not a good place to work 

The job itself is not difficult. It's fairly simple, straightforward. All you have to do is pay attention. I love the co-workers. They were great people. The supervisors did what they could. The management did not give enough time off and the HR people were setting policies in place that were not only hindering people's ability to have have a life outside of work. But also not being able to take care of their families

Growing fast and paying well! A ton of equipment new to the plant means a ton of work in addition to supporting production. Lots of opportunity for maintenance and automation techs. Motion, vision, process and machine control, .. the plant has it all.
