WP Rawl

Wtrow is not a place that I work for continuously and make it a lifelong job. Management didn't care about a lot of things, and they didn't make you feel comfortable in any position that you were in. It was more like a job where management was horrible! work was rough and people didn't care. it was very cold, with long hours. no telling when you're going to get off, so you didn't have time to make a lifestyle with the job, because you never knew when you were going to have to work, or when you got off. it could be long days, it can be a lot of short days, you just never knew. wouId I work there again? only if it was the last job on Earth! honestly. Or If I struggled and needed to make quick cash, other then that. No ma'am, no ham, no turkey 🙅🏼. I can tell you that I learned, How to check collard greens, turnip greens and kale. I could tell you that I partially learned because of bad management. Computer tech, the most enjoyable part about this job is my breaks and some of the people there other than that there were no enjoyable parts.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The job didn't require much thinking.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No communication from supervisors or leads. Schedule is subject to change with no notice (even during the effected shift. IE. Be scheduled for a 8 hour day, be kept for a 10-12) machinery is in poor upkeep, upper management care very little for work staff.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Upper management types are overly harsh and aggressive towards floor workers. Middle management level don't care about anything and refuse to communicate. Noone knows what's going on at any time. Production staff give zero effes anymore.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Show up. Freeze, stand in one spot for hours. Randomly get a break at unknown time that is taken up by traversing to the break room from production floor. Be told incorrect info. Find out when you're getting off work when you're suddenly told to shut down.

The Rawls have been farmers for a long time, and have upgraded to some high tech automated bagging machinery. They mostly have an old-fashioned DIY attitude, but hire on some additional engineering and maintenance help. While I was there I worked with a systems engineer who had been involved with cereal bagging in Michigan and mechanical engineer who had worked with Formula One racing and the British Army. There are many chlorine dip tanks for sterilizing fresh produce and I became sensitized to the chlorine and ended up in the hospital with multiple organ failure. I am still sensitive to chlorine and cannot swim in chlorinated pools. The Rawls paid for my hospital expenses.

I was an OTR truck driver for this company. I felt home there, and enjoyed the job. That is until I got injured at home. I was out for three months recuperating. I was told to bring a note from a doctor, which I did. they then fired me. They fired me for doing what I was told. I personally thought they were joking, I still laugh at these people. Extremely disappointed in them. Caveat Emptor. 
Before I was injured I was happy. I even bought a home in their little one light town to be close to work. I made great money. Drivers here leave because they aren't appreciated, or respected. There's a parking lot full of trucks with no drivers. However there are a few of the "chosen" who get all the miles. If you aren't one of them, you'll soon quit.

A typical day at work honestly can go one of two ways. Can be a smooth day or a very stressful day, it depends on how you do at job in question. There really ain't nothing to learn aside how to identify who your friends and who your enemies are. Some of the management are ok but others are just downright rude and like to think of you as this antagonist all because you quote on quote ain't doing your job right. Workplace Culture? Not really sure tbh. In all honesty the job is easy, it's just trying to keep a cool head whilst keeping up the pace and making sure nothing gets delayed is what's hard. As for enjoyable? I'd say some of the co-workers I've met even tho some have come and gone.

I worked there for 8 months and had to get out. I worked in Quality Assurance in the food industry for over 5 years and I have never worked in a place that had no integrity or concern when it came to food safety and quality. All this company cared about is pushing as much product out the door as possible with total disregard to food quality. I had my hands tied when I tried to bring up issues with quality and safety. I was told to let it go, it's not that big of an issue. I could not, in my right mind, be part of a company that cares more about their bottom line over the safety of their product!!!

Typical day at work was on the line in repack. Sometimes if we finish early we help other workers like in onions and peppers. I learned how to work with variety of greens, onions, and peppers. I also learned how to work with an variety of races. The management was not to my liking. I didn't like how one person was over us and then another person that was in our same department was telling us what to do. My coworkers were very fun to be around. The hardest part of the job was getting undress for lunch and then back dress to clock back in. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people.

It is a blessing at this place and last year how are you through the company or through a staffing agency. However management is severely neglecting training and management skills, trainers are severely neglecting and training skills, and ownership is actually unknown because whoever owns the company actually doesn't run or have anything to do with the running off the company. If you make friends you have a job if you don't join a certain click or gang in the company you get fired

In WP RAWL its very cold! You dont leave untill your work is done, You do take breaks and you do have a lunch. When you break you have to take off all your equipment before you go outside. I learned how to work on a  assembly line and packaging. Your co workers there are nice and they try to help you as much as they can. If your not good at something they will move you around until you find something your good at. The hardest park of the job is working in the cold and not knowing what time your getting off. I enjoyed the job even tho its very cold inside the plant.

The job is very adventures and creative especially they are actually showing how to plant and grow the vegetables. A very different experience for me, I've learned how to organized the food labels to the trucks so they can ship the load to different stores such as walmart, Kroger, and Publix. The hardest part is to get use to the temperature because its 45 degrees so its very cold . the most enjoyable part is the pay and its fair of the conditioning of the job itself .
