      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tyson Foods (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      I applied on Jan. 12 2017 got a call on Feb. 15 to come in that Thursday at 8am. Thought she was going to interview me over phone but didn't. Came in but almost got lost but was early for once. Asked simple questions and showed me around the plant to see if I was still interested. Starting pay is 10.50 but their in the middle of a union agreement for 12/hr. Get paid weekly. Awesome sauce! I applied for 2nd shift which starts at 2pm and my orientation starts next week for 2 days also paid. And last but not least have questions to ask interviewer and have I.D. And SS card ready or any other documents saying your name. Got hired after interview and filled out paperwork. 🤓
