The place is very poorly managed in both senior management and daily operations. The management and operations worked previously when the company was operating at a small scale but with the recent growth in business, continues to fall behind. No accountability in nearly all positions. A lot of dishonesty and sweeping things under the rug. A reactionary company when making decisions and never thoughtfully plans anything out.

The pay is rather low and raises only mirror cost of living, even when excelling when compared to peers. Benefits and retirement are also minimal.

Overall; would not recommend beyond using it as a stepping stone or if you are seeking a low effort manual labor position.

Well, where do I begin? I absolutely love most of my coworkers. I have developed strong friendships with most of them. I've been her for a while now, and not exactly impressed with a company as a whole. The management lacks a lot of common sense and compassion. They bring in management from car industries, old school principle, amongst other types of employment that have nothing to do with the job at hand. The managers will listen to what you have to say, then turn around and gossip about what you said and turn it into you being a baby. They promise empty promises. They give higher raises to those who work less, and screw the ones who work the hardest. The job in itself isn't bad. But they could use all new management. Seemed to be worried about the wrong issues.

Climate controlled , Monday through Thursday , a few employees are decent people

Management is the worst, they take all the failed leaders from other places and place them in leadership positions

Very hostile. Certain people are allowed to get away with murder while others can't do anything right 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Horrible, mad as soon as you hit the floor.

A typical day at work- you get there clock in, and go to wherever youre needed or assigned. Run that machine or help others for however long. 

what I learned- I know how animal food is made and processed through the line.

management- could be a bit better on the ingredients and what you need to finish your order or batch. 

hardest part of the job could be the summers when it gets hot in the building. Depending on where you’re working you may have to lift up to 110Lbs. so be aware.

most enjoyable part is the people 

When I worked there I worked 10 hour shifts with only two 15 minute breaks and a half hour lunch. Expected to do a five person job with only two people. Management was lazy. Ever seen them doing anything but standing round. Some talking behind coworkers back to other coworkers. I would never tell anyone to work there. 

Uckele use to be a great place to work but has drastically declined.  The upper management talk about core values but definitely does not practice core values.  They have no integrity.  They treat their employees with little to no respect.  They very rarely promote from with in.  They would rather higher an outsider then to promote someone who has experience with in.  

You will encounter fun coworkers who are easy to work with and accomplish things but management seems to have little to no sense as to what’s happening on the floor especially plant manager which leads to miscommunication to the people above him. Pay is good for the work unless you work directly with the powders and raw material 

Lots of scheduling options.  Two nice facilities to choose from.  Complicated, rapidly growing business dedicated to making animals and people healthier.  You get out what you put in at this job.

Some of the employees are hardworking, incredibly nice people

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management is absolutely horrible, they never have any idea what's going on

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, intense, favoritism, stale

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, not worth it
