Management was aware that I had not received the necessary training for my role and made false promises regarding job security and potential advancement. Management’s constant nagging about my every mistake created a stifling environment, where I was overwhelmed with tasks.
Years of experience mean little without humility.  My mood deteriorated over time, and despite my repeated requests for training and resources, I was consistently denied the support I needed. It felt as though I was set up for failure. I often felt restricted and unable to thrive. I firmly believe that without a strong work ethic and commitment to improvement, meaningful change cannot occur. I have observed a noticeable decline in effective leadership, which has had a detrimental impact on employee morale.
It is disheartening to see that under the present circumstances employees often feel diminished over time rather than uplifted and empowered. A true leader should inspire and support their team fostering an environment where individuals can thrive and contribute positively. I believe it is crucial for leadership to adhere to the core values and to communicate with integrity. By doing so we can create a culture that not only values hard work and dedication but also prioritizes the well-being and growth of every employee.
However, I want to acknowledge that my overall experience at Nongshim had its positives.

Typical day is expecting  to be very independent you have to know what your doing or you will get lost in the process training is no exception. 
Management and HR are the worst people to get a hold of, supervisors lack leadership and cant handle the stress of the role and take it out on the leads or the workers and say they have excuses when the workers ask for help on the floor or if it take more that 1 person to fun the whole factory or warehouse reciving especially 1st plant needs the most help the supervisors  are very childish and favorable to particular people they are close to or feel pity towards too.
The overall company has a Language barrier there are more Hispanic/Latino people working here about 85% and the 15% are Asians due to the company being owned and run by and a few Caucasians and I mean a very few, 1 % of the Afrian American. 
The forklift drivers are nice but try to cover their behinds  when smashing pallets with the forklifts and blaming things on the loaders and not the works, the Lead also plays favorites.
Hardest part of the job is not trying to fight with those that try to step on you after 4 weeks of working and expecting you to know the place as if you worked there 6 months already.
NEVER WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT SAYS THEY TREAT YOU LIKE FAMILY!!! ITS A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT!!! 

The perks of working for an understaffed growing company, Nongshim offers a great opportunity to get experienced. I was able to experience and observe the full business cycle in my past 3 years here.

The company is a Korean company, so it is hard for none Koreans to survive in the company. The company culture comes from Korea and I see most none Koreans having a hard time adopting to this.

The company's headquarter being in California can also be tough for some people, since the other offices don't seem to be managed as well.

I had a great time working for the company and hope the company grows over time.

People do whatever they want if they know management no respect to others. On top of that I got sick explain to them that I would not be going back and  turned in my uniform to the front desk and my badge because you can never get a hold of HR OR someone to help you. Every time you call all you get is a voicemail.. and to top it off I received a letter one month after I quit saying I abandon my job on 08/22/2022 when I quit back in July. They need to learn how to manage and have more control on the things that happen in that company. They have no order and they expect you to be there on time but they don’t pay you on payday.. Is extremely hot and management goes at it with the employees instead of giving out write up for bad conduct behaviors. 

This is a good first job because you learn how to manage large amounts of workload. Apart from this, you top out at what you can learn after a few years.

Its hard to turn ideas into a reality because upper management controls output of ideas. So theres no real reason to have good ideas cause they never give an ear.

Also, the culture can be strongly Korean. Theres expectations of bowing and the mindset of management tends to be 90s Korean style. So its more outdated than modern day Korea.

Its nice you get free lunches and breakfast. 

Also the people here are wonderful for the most part.

Again great place to start but know your exit.

Company is very bureaucratic. If you like playing office politics, this is the place for you.

Company has good benefit but the pay is very low. Company does not rely on talented workers so there is really no need to offer higher salary to new hires. Most managers has been working there for ten plus years and that might seem like the company is doing a good job of grooming talent but it's is actually the opposite. Talented employees leave and those who are left behind are "lifers" and simply slotted to management position based on tenure.

How to survive in a predominately foreign Korean/Hispanic environment.
Mangement was usually unaccessable so I learned to make decisions that were in the best interest of the company.
Co-workers were tri-cultural and usually pleasant.
Promotional oppportunities for women were rare.
Learned Worker's compensation administration and ran it on my own.

The machines are made in Korea, manuals and instructions too , perfect  job for people who only like do change overs and smalls repairs, you don't do too much they don't pay too much it is simple.
Very strict rules, attendance and tardy point systems, try don't get in any trouble because the going to get rid of you right away.

Nondshim is a good place to work. But you must be able to do the hours very early morning 12 hour shifts. Need to be extremely committed to your job, Extremely committed to rotation of your work hours, Extremely committed to working weekend's.
