Pros

Not really much expect there was a few good people, the company is located in western New York and you can get cheese at a discounted price.

Cons

WORST upper management ever! They are hostile, not grateful for anything that you do, love to set up email traps and love to screw over their co workers. They are power control freaks who don't let lower level management do what they are suppose to do and don't think employees have a life outside of work. All they care about is the price and that leads to some poor decisions made on the supply side and this has chased away some vendors. This makes the work environment there one of the most negative and toxic work places to work in. HR is also in their pockets so don't go whining to them or you will likely get axed. There is too much politics going on there.

Pros

There are no pros. Similar companies offer more money and equal benefits.

Cons

Staff is short handed so 60 hour work weeks for hourlies is not uncommon (this has been on going for 3 years now). Managers are expected to work 60-80 hour weeks for crap wages and if you are due any sort of review or raise good luck getting it with in 6 months. Top managment does crap like hire consultant companies to come tell us all we need to do is talk to our employees and suddenly they won't care that they never get to see their family or that their work load and stress level is too high. There have been multiple Managers, Supervisor, and employees that have walked out at the site I work at, and no offense but if that happened at one of my plants as the CEO I would want to know why. Pretty much everything is in very bad shape but what does it really matter. Even if the actual CEO reads this he won't do anything about it. Everything is about profit but the main thing behind profit which is the people that make your product are neglected or run into the ground. 95% of the workers I work with are looking for a job somewhere else and again as a CEO that should be very disturbing. Especially since most of them would take a 4 to 5 dollar an hour pay cut just to not have to work at Lactalis. With the global work force dwindling soon there will not be enough people to fill all the jobs available globally, and Lactalis will be at the bottom of the list for places people will work. I don't know why I wasted my time writing this maybe just on the hope that someone putting it in a non confrontational way will make someone listen but I am almost certain this will not be the case.
