Pros

- Early hours (7a-3p) - Pretty standard and straight forward responsibilities - The accounting team is small and helpful

Cons

- Plant management is poor. Unable to provide answers to problems they're having and you're stuck having to wait for them. - Have to work some Sundays without much head's up - Plant will run on Saturdays which will lead you to having two days worth of work in a single day - Pay is not good

Pros

Great pay, vacation days, okay point system

Cons

Careless, there would be times where they would drop boxes on the floor and still use them. They would also wipe their face or scratch their head and still touch the chicken while wearing gloves!!!
