This is the worst company I have ever worked for. The machines are constantly breaking down so your required to clean basically everyday, overtime is MANDATORY and is every Saturday so if you don't want to work 6 days a week this place isn't for you. There is blatant favoritism and if your not in with the "clique" then you will never advance, and be treated differently, also the rules don't seem to apply to everyone. The people that are favored don't get points for attendance or fired for going over on there breaks or taking extra breaks whereas I've seen others get fired for having a half of a point over for attendance or for going over by 5 minutes on their break while others take a 55 minute lunch when it's supposed to be 20 minutes and a extra cigarette break and never even get in trouble let alone fired. There is basically no breaks you only get a total of a half hour split into one 10 minute break and a 20 minute lunch which by the time you take off your smock, hair net, and ear plugs and then put them all back on and wash your hands 5 minutes of that is easily gone and if you go over on your breaks you will be fired. They don't value their employees at all they tell you that your replaceable on a regular basis your just a number to them no matter how hard you work it doesn't matter they don't care about you as an employee or even a person for that matter at all. Don't work here trust me it's HORRIBLE hands down the most negative place I've ever worked in my whole life.

I can't say very many positive things about this company.  I guess the only positive is a paycheck but there are better ways to earn a living than this place!  Lead by example? It doesn't happen here!  Management is a group of lying, deceitful, manipulative bunch.  You'll struggle here if you are a female or minority.  Salary team isn't much better - they spend the day spreading rumors and making hourly team members days miserable.  HR is an absolute nightmare!  Pay is horrible. Hours are long. Forced overtime - and heaven forbid you have an actual emergency and need to leave!  You can get fired for that!  If you choose to join TruFoods, you will sell your soul to them.  I have never been - or seen so many people - be treated so poorly in my whole life!  I think inmates at the prison are treated better than we are! Employees are also thieves!  You will get your lunch, phone, purse, headphones, dirty socks stolen from this place! Even if you lock up your items, if you have something someone else wants, it will be gone if it enters these doors!

Now if you're looking for a place to get on your feet or to get by until you come across something better which should be hard then I can say it's a place for that and that's it...... Line breaks down a lot so when that happens you just stand there and wait and see if they can get the line started..... Forced overtime and they don't let you know you work that Saturday until Wednesday afternoon or Thursday...... There's no advancement because everyone that's in a higher position won't be leaving or retiring anytime soon so you can be stuck in those positions you apply for for years..... Only people that move up is there favorite...... Management is all around horrible they get away with what ever and HR let em do it

Good place to work if you’re desperate for money. Most workers were from other countries other than the United States of America, & didn’t speak English very well. The biggest concern that I had was about TruFoods lack of caring regarding Covid-19.  For example they had the foreign workers acting as “Covid-19 cleaners”, but didn’t explain to them the importance of wiping down areas that were frequently used by all staff, such as hand rails on steps, water fountains, etc.  In other words, TruFoods didn’t really care if they were doing their best to try & control the spread of illness.  Oh, & they don’t encourage employees to call off sick to try & control the spread of Covid, as you could only use your earned PTO if you requested the day in advance.

TruFoods is a terrible place to work especially if you are a minority or female. The factory floor is 70% African American and Nepoli but you will not find this diversity in their higher paying positions. Regardless of what color/gender you are, you will not be treated fairly or with respect if you're not in the clique. They chased plenty of good people away with the good ole boy clique culture and blatant favoritism. This place could not care less about diversity or even just doing the right thing. They take plenty of short cuts to get product out and only keep the place clean when visitors or inspectors come to visit. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

This company takes advantage of others by paying very low wages to good workers who are having a hard time entering or re-entering the workforce. They target disadvantaged workers who give their all to a company who doesn't care about the employees. Honestly, I never had any issue with the company, so I am giving the most unbiased and fair assessment of the work environment. After leaving for a better paying job, the company I applied to said that there was no record of my employment there. Let that sink in.

Don't be fooled by previous reviews as they don't reflect the reality of this company. The production people are nice, but this is a terrible place to work due to money problem and the management is dysfunctional. As a family owned business Management/owners are extremely abusive, vindictive, and cruel. Facilities are in a very bad shape. Health, safety and quality are not the priorities of the business.

Manager do not know what they are doing. Managers are able to do what ever they want. They add a pay increase to try and keep people but people are treated poorly by management. They blame you for things that you were not involved in. Managers will promise you the world and then say you did something wrong. You will get in trouble cause anyone can blame you for things here. There is no review and there is no HR department. People walking out all the time. If you want stability or sense of security then work somewhere else. 

They still don't accept new ideas to improve the product, timing, quality, Great company unfortunately poor management, most of the mid-level management are kids, few of them the first job in their life..
They expect a lot from you with low pay, running, maintaining and cleaning machines...The volume of waste could be huge sometimes, but none cares to improve that. No daily goals no planning of shipping...I don't know how they are going to stand longer than 3 years if they won't make real scan, audit and study less cost to make it livable....

The good old boy network is in full effect here. My manager blatantly covered my co worker's many mistakes (10+) while I was suspended for 2 mista0akes. In a 2 year period. They have a point system 7 and done; I was fired when I accumulated 6. The real reason was my manager was a former pro athlete so he had this fake alpha male attitude; after putting up with this 
I began to talk to him the way he talked to me and I was fired for it2+years+years
