Western Smokehouse Partners

If you are looking for a company that thrives on chaos and chooses to not teach their subordinates, along with micromanaging everything to keep real progress from happening this is the company for you. The one good thing about this company is that the CEO truly does care about all of his employees. 
However the majority of the upper management do not care about the employees at all. Ever moved states for a job and get fired because you needed some personal time after working 50+ hours every week? If not this is your opportunity to make that dream come true!

Don’t let the statement well capitalized fool you! The Springfield Illinois facility is a roller coaster of bad to worst. At this location you will see the true meaning of ignorance is bliss. I’m ashamed of what is passed off as an acceptable for pet and human snack sticks to meet a dead line. It’s sad that they let us know ahead of time that a USDA inspector or any professional visitor is coming so we can make it look sanitary and compliant. Personal hygiene amongst employees and management is an issue of sorts. We don’t follow the lock out tag out process unless the EHS supervisor is on site so watch your fingers.   It’s a good place to use as a part time job for the money though! 

unbelievably easy work, pay is just okayish at $2 above minimum wage, not long work hours.  do not expect training, you will likely just have to "figure it out" on your own. the absolute worst thing about employment at this company is its turnover rate. they fire people very often for silly reasons. i think i met maybe a handful of people working there, supervisors included, that had been working there longer than a month. A revolving door kinda job. If you are unemployed, this is good for a months income and I would recommend you to apply. otherwise, don't bother, for most people, this job only lasts about 4-5 weeks, no matter how good of a worker you are.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The employees were good to work with and a couple of the supervisors that weren't terminated yet. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part was no raises for a full year and a superintendent that had no idea of what he was doing was over everything. They'd rather hire people they like than someone who knew what they were doing. Horrible conduct by management and nothing was done about it. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture was good for awhile then it went back in the tank due to management.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The experience of being in a professional environment and the challenge the job provides and overall the team work that is being displayed.

None really I'm very comfortable with my work environment 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I like 2 call us vultron cuz every department needs the other 2 strive.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Striving 2 do better than I did the previous day.

It’s a very stressful environment 
I learned that 95% of jobs including Thrushwood show favoritism to certain employees. The hard working employees always go unnoticed. 
Management is ran by unprofessional people 
HR does not follow their own guidelines/policy’s properly 
The job itself is completely easy 
The most enjoyable part about the job was gaining the experience of different job types. 

Management is awful. Too many issues and they won’t do a dam thing about it. They expect room leaders to produce miracles with frozen product, bad machines. First shift slacks off while second shift has to deal with their lack of getting things done. They have a ridiculous point system so let’s just make people contaminate the food. I hope health department shuts them down. They have a huge turn over rate mainly due to horrrible management

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lots of heavy lifting . Widespread favoritism amongst management

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
they are breeding animosity because of all the favoritism  and they make up/change the rules as they go along

Most enjoyable part about the job was all of about 2 people. 0 training but 1000% expected from the employee. I have watched people get fired for next to nothing or just because someone don’t like that person. I was put into to situations that were against my morals and values. I would not recommend this job to ANYONE.
