Wonderful Citrus

The company only cares about their upper management and HR protects them when ever any concerns or complaints come up. The new transportation director is immature and uneducated, he claims to be knowledgeable about topics because he watched a Youtube video. He treats his team horribly and when they complained he retaliated against them and the HR manager protected and defended him the whole time. If you have 6 people complaining and saying the same thing about him then you need to consider what they are saying. His team had pointed out multiple times where he was wrong and instead of accepting that he was wrong he would degrade you in front of others. He has an unprofessional relationship with a freight carrier and it was brought to managements attention and they did nothing. He is the perfect example of a bad leader and has no idea how to work with a team. He has the be the only person talking in a conversation and leads by fear. I feel bad for anyone who has to work with him.

This job makes you feel like just a number which you are to them and you will get told you are easily disposable and replaceable. The people who make company make agency workers do most work and slack off. It is very humid and hot even at night and all fans are locked away so you are stuck drenched in your own sweat even if you ask the supervisor nothing will be done and you will simply be told there is not enough funds or they cannot do anything about it even though each bin of produce makes roughly around 7,000+. Management is horrible and very unprofessional in terms of having favoritism and trying to start work romance with someone noticeably uninterested. This job is a way to make money but it’s not worth the toxicity you’re around find somewhere better than here.

Wonderful Citrus was a good company to work for. Their overall work-life balance was a step above other major food companies I've worked for and their compensation plus benefits package did an excellent job at making their employees try and reach their goals each year.

Unfortunately, and like the majority of other big company names, they suffer from internal politics (who knows who) and at times extra lean team structuring that emphasizes their willingness to give more work to a handful of employees (without necessarily increasing their pay).

In general, if you want to work for them, this company will help you grow as a professional for at least a couple of years, but then you will reach your ceiling if you don't manage to connect with the right people within the company structure. 

Working in the administrative department was interesting. Working weekends was not the best. My only issue with the company as a whole, was top management. My direct manager was awesome, however higher management, whom work at the HQs (California), were kind of racist and not very nice. They only saw their employees as another body they could replace. They only cared about their own people and had a lot of favoritism, only promoted their favorites and not based on experience. It was a very political system overall, if you had connections and kissed up to someone, then you had a future within the company. I've seen people get fired after working there for years simply because they ticked off the wrong person.

Faulty equipment, locks missing in your chemical truck and trailer, they expect you to  multitask and do so many things at once for 11.89, this job should be 15 a hour and up. I have 4 years of oil and gas experience so I know about loading up  chemicals and transferring them and the proper  pay someone should be getting....it was a completely joke and when we weren’t spraying they make you take your own car to the fields and do whatever task they give you, Theres a reason so many people quit this position. 
Management is poor and they hire “leads” with absolutely no chance of knowing English . Really? Regular employees were awesome and Great people but Those with a  title have no idea how to earn respect of a crew or better yet  run a crew. 


What is the best part of working at the company?
It’s a pretty good company. It care about their employees and has pretty good benefits and give opportunities to all of their employees.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
That I was a  temporary employee 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The respect to others, in the opportunities they offered to learn something different

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was a forklift driver, and it was moving product from the warehouse to the floor into the floor to the coolers and stacking empty totes on the yard and loading and unloading trailers with product or empty totes

Shipping management/supervisor plays favorites. Burns out employees and then guilts them into thinking they're in the wrong. No accountability, coworkers are terrible to work with, if you're good at your job they leave most of the work to you. When you clock into work you have no idea when you will be home, they expect you to work several hours after they scheduled you meaning you will not have a life out of work at all. You would have to ask if you can go home even though you've already stayed three hours or more after your scheduled time.  Overall terrible experience, would recommend to stay away. 

Wonderful Citrus has excellent benefits, lots of perks for employees, onsite healthcare, gym facilities, cafeteria with healthy food choices! With that said, if you are applying for an administration position you will need to ask yourself if the following questions are important to you. 

•You are compensated fairly 
•Your work is respected and  appreciated 
•Room for advancement 
•Honest leadership 
•Politics Free environment 
•Culture of collaboration 
•Promotes Meritocracy 
•Open Communication
•Work-life Balance 

If you answered yes to any of those questions. Then, this is not the right job for you. Wonderful is only Wonderful in theory.

I have been working for this company over 2 years. I still don’t feel accepted by my peers. They are always trying to get other coworkers in trouble for the pettiest things. From forgetting to put on ear plugs to talking to another coworker more than 5 minutes. Supervisors try to micromanage their staff without providing the essential tools for them to do their job efficiently. They worry about how much paper you’re using to print paperwork that you need to complete your job! When you ask for new equipment their go-to phrase is “it’s not in the budget.”

Work area was very nice, but very very stressful once leaders don’t like you. They’ll make your day horrible every day until you’re gone. From leader to office clerks and clock in/out lead. It’s better if you don’t say a word and nobody knows you. They don’t know how to appreciate hard workers and people that show up to work. The ones that don’t do nothing and leave to the restroom every 20 mins for 30+ min , come late or not even show up, or don’t even work but stand around get treated much better than hard workers. It’s more like a high school environment, either they like you or they’re on you till you’re gone .
