Pros

Working in HR gives you a great excuse to fuel a drinking habit. You might even develop a backbone because of how much you get walked on here!

Cons

Everything. Working at Americold incites the same feeling as entering a dangerous map in a video game: you hear the ominous music upon entry and immediately have your guard up in case of attack. The HR department is hostile territory. The People who work there are vindictive, conniving, and only interested in their own personal gain. "Teamwork" doesn't apply here, especially if younger than everyone else. Your "Peers" will see you as inferior and take advantage of you. Management, which is full of incompetent and biased individuals, will only look out for their favorites. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how far of the extra mile you go, it's never enough. If the "favorites" are against you, everyone is. Despite complaints and tip line calls, management does NOTHING to fix the problem. You might get the same motivational speech every single time instead... I was denied vacation time for an emergency when literally EVERYONE in the department got approved to use their time for leisure trips. I was forced in at unreasonably early times when they know I work a 2nd job at night. I've been handed large responsibilities that were not part of my job description without any sort of raise or bonus, and was still expected to get it done along with the 20 other things I did daily. Seriously, if you have any self-worth, don't work here. If you don't want to be beaten down every day, don't work here. If you want to be happy, don't work here,

Pros

Because of the high turnover rate there is always an oportunity to start on 3rd shift and move to first or second shift. Hourly employees have good benefits as far as paid time off and the ability to work over - time to compensate for the mediocre wage. Health care is good for what you contribute each month.

Cons

As a supervisor you are salaried 50 hours a week, this equates to less than an houlry wage of the people you are supervising. Because the headquarters are in Atlanta, I don't feel the company values trickle down to the facilities. Alot of focus is given on customer service, which is great for job security, but the employees are not recognized for the sacrifice. Unless you have obtained a network of friends within the company, you are left on the outside looking in. It is hard to understand what direction the company is headed when people in upper management are coming and going.

Pros

Pay is just below par for this area in this industry.

Cons

Management tends to be selected from members and prospective members of a 'good old boys' network. Caustic work environment is encouraged; the management style tends to lead toward dehumanization and intimidation. Management staff will to refer to hourly employees in terms as 'inmates,' and by less polite derogations. Certain hourly employees seem to have little other function than to single out, deride, and intimidate other employees. Rampant, and at times despicable, kid pro quo abuses by management staff toward hourly employees.
