Wilcox Family Farms

Working as an intern driver was a challenging experience. The start times were as early as 3 AM, and the workdays were long, often stretching to the 14-hour legal limit. The job involved difficult tasks such as navigating complex routes and managing tight schedules, with a high number of stops. Delays were common, especially when waiting for other drivers in unloading bays. The job also required loading your own trailers when the loaders were unavailable, which can push drivers to work over 14+ hours a day, with help.

The company offered good pay, which was higher than what other employees were making, likely due to the demanding nature of the job. The more experienced drivers, who had been promoted internally, managed the routes quickly due to their knowledge of the products and the routes.

Overall, while the pay and some benefits like free eggs, Gatorade, and protein packs were appreciated, the workload and responsibilities placed on drivers were too significant for me and others before me. Wilcox/Penske may want to consider promoting from within and offering raises to current employees rather than bringing in new hires who may find the job too demanding.

You are scheduled for certain days of the week. You’ll know when you come in, but never know what time when you are getting off. Work-life balance is not in favor of you. So, if you cannot work 15 hours in a day, you’ll be looked down apon. Safety is NOT #1 with this company. The moment you’ll bring anything up to be safer, some get butthurt, and go whine about being told what to do to. And guess what? You won’t last long here. Trust me. If you prove to a higher standard, and be suggestive, they will fire you. In order to last at this work place, you have to play stupid, in which way, is not in regularity with today’s professional conducts. Sorry folks, but this place to needs to be better managed. A lot better to last, and be able to take advice for a safer environment.

Wilcox Farms presents itself as a legacy company, but behind the scenes, the culture is outdated, hostile, and resistant to change. If you're someone who takes food safety, compliance, or employee well-being seriously, proceed with caution. Senior leadership actively ignores regulatory concerns, and those who speak up are sidelined or pushed out. The workload is unsustainable, and support for QA roles is practically nonexistent. If you're a woman, expect to be talked over, second-guessed, or told to stay quiet and "let the men think it's their idea."

They recently lost a major account — no surprise to anyone who's seen how internal operations are handled.

This company is a joke, all they care about is money and themselves. Every department is unsafe to work in because the care more about filling their packets with money then making sure their employees are safe. There are a few good managers here but the Farm manager is a basket case and makes it hard for anyone to do their job. There are some good hard working employees that make this place run if it wasn't for them it would probably be closed. If you want a job that will drive you crazy and make you lose sleep and night then come join us. There are some good things about the company you get free eggs and the people and you can get experience working within a food company.

I've worked for this company a few years now. I started as a part time night worker and I have had the opportunity to grow with the company.   They take care of the employees and the workers take care of eachother as well. It is long hard honest work. They pay the employees very generously and have grown and are still always improving our work environments to ensure the safety of the staff, visitors and customers. 

A typical day at my position consisted of waiting for product that we didn’t have on hand in the warehouse. This causes major backups preventing us from finishing routes on time. Days can be long if not enough people show up or if there is no people to fill in. New hires are rare and they move away from hiring new people because they believe “there’s enough” when practically there isn’t and one has to break their back doing a single task for up to three hours. 

Workdays fluctuate, nothing is consistent. Reviews are constantly late. Raises are few and far between. I have worked here for several years and the women are not treated equally or compensated for their duties. There is a considerable inequity amongst the employees and company supplied benefits. Hiring bonuses are not distributed fairly. It is a constant hostile working environment. Either your working 60+ hours weekly or starving to get enough hours to pay rent. Difficult to get hired if you are a local, would rather truck them in.

I personally enjoyed my position at Wilcox farm, I feel the challenges that I faced at times is what drove me to try to be the best at what I do. Unfortunately in the position I had other have to work as a team and as one.  If one tries to out do the other it doesn't work.  If we are not one we are nothing.    I hope in the position that I had that has changed and and they work as one.
