Locals only. Don’t relocate here.

Pros

Nice facilities well maintained, on site health and wellness center, excellent flexibility for corporate staff. People genuinely care. Lots of changes... good and bad.

Cons

If you’re not local, you’ll never fit in. Benefits and flexibility at corporate are created by the hard work and scrimping of the production people that are not appreciated. Behind other food industries in lean, six sigma, quality, and food safety.

Pros

Great family culture. Leadership is open to and understanding of requirements outside of work (ie childcare). Most of the work can be completed dying normal hours so you won't need to login after hours.

Cons

Base pay is lower than other local businesses but they call it fair for how the roles are scoped. The corollary is that the roles limit your ability to innovate and improve your own workflow. Standardization across you peers works for production but stifles knowledge workers. Also, record earnings did not equate to record bonuses.

Pros

Good pay, decent 401k, Bonuses, clean environment for food industry work. Good pay and lots of hours available if thats what you are looking for. Top level leadership are genuinely good people with honestly good intentions.

Cons

Large disconnect between levels of leadership. Low and mid level management wants to be noticed when things are going well but are quick to take down anyone that will make them look bad, lots of issues are swept under the rug. Skills and abilities where once considered a virtue, but college degrees carry more weight even with zero functional knowledge or experience. Lower management and leadership positions are encouraged to distance themselves from production level employees by mid Management, managers do not stand by or support their subordinates. Production employees don't feel they have a voice. Supervisory staff tend to block communication with higher levels, good or bad. Large inconsistencies between facilities in both policy and quality control. Retirement and health options are geared towards the older generation, not many good options for the younger class. Out of date practices and technology and not receptive to suggestions or improvements.
