Thank you for your feedback. Consumer preferences are changing at an accelerated pace, and we’re working quickly to deliver and develop ingredient solutions for our customers. Right now, the food industry is experiencing unprecedented change. We’re making investments to grow our business as we build a solid foundation for future growth, and hope you will take advantage of training opportunities that might help these changes feel less overwhelming.
The low level employees are generally good people that got hired into the current mess.
Cons
Bedford Park plant is suffering from 15 years+ of neglect. The plant is literally falling into the ground as the incredible amount of leaks are dissolving the ground under the foundations.
Union contract is strange and puts a large burden on the salary staff to "run" the plant.
Corporate is currently in the plant in force running a shadow management team undermining all efforts of the actual plant management.
