Wyandot Snacks

Pros: 

Sense of accomplishment in performing my job under stress and with challenging obstacles. Ability to perform and endure work that a younger employee will refuse to do. 

Cons: 

Stress ridden job on busy nights. 

Steady employment, but short notice on required overtime. Two hours or less. Short notice on required OT on weekends. Notice after 5pm on Fridays.

Poor union contract, but company will not print out copy of recently signed contract. My new manager (or any manager) is not even given an electronic copy of contract, much less employees.

Poor management communication between shift managers and also management-to-employees. 

Poor cross-training for employees on/for working in different area warehouse sections. 

Maintaining required work speed and worker safety at the same time on busy nights. 

Workplace culture is cutthroat employee-to-employee situations. 

A typical day at work can be fast or slow. You can be working with product that runs slow so you have more free time on your hand, or you could be working on a line that is fast paced and has you doing more in the same amount of time. Also can depend on what position you are placed in based on the job qualifications that you may have. I've learned how to work on computers more, and also how to work in a more quality oriented position. In my opinion, management is just like the general workforce. You have your good one's and your not so good ones. Those that usually are able to relate to the employee better and work at creating that good culture in the workplace are usually the best management. The hardest part of my job would be that the temperatures can get over 100 degrees in the summer. The most enjoyable part of the job is that there are opportunity's to switch jobs or classifications.

Wyandot as a whole has an abundance of great people among every department. However, there is a handful of entitled individuals throughout the workplace in every department but at the end of the day what workplace doesn’t. As a learning mechanic I’ve learned tons of mechanical and electrical information through a hands on learning environment, you just have to be willing to jump and do the work. The hardest part of the job I would say is working under stressful conditions. Management has a tendency to consistently hover over you as you work on a breakdown making it more stress inducing and making working conditions more difficult. Overall, Wyandot has bunches of great people and is a great stepping stone for anyone wanting to get a great beginning learning experience in Industrial Maintenance.

Pretty easy job for the pay, just somewhat stressful and aggravating because management is not where it should be. Too much inconsistency on what is acceptable for shipment to customer. Sometimes they worry more about quantity than quality. Work environment is somewhat backstabbing amongst other workers. Super busy times of the year where you’re working 12 hour days 6 and 7 days a week because the company would rather work the employees they have as opposed to hiring more workers. And an ungodly overtime option of working someone an over and in where they can hold you over for four hours and then turn right around and bring you in 4 hours early so you e only got 8 hours away from work.
