Pros

Great training, Town halls to inform employees of whats coming up and to give feedback. Union Shop has set pay.

Cons

Works hours are based on production needs, possible 12 hour shifts with little notice. 7 hour turn arounds, maintenance crew streched to thin, often equates to long down times.

Worst place I've ever worked.

Pros

Great products, dedicated employees who want to create the best products and company. Office environment is open and collaborative. Always something new to learn.

Cons

Senior Leadership is difficult, micromanages and harasses employees, very unprofessional. Be prepared to work long hours and respond to daily fire drills. Morale of employees is low, high turnover due to lack of leadership's trust and support. No training provided, no career path, poor performance management.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that some aspects of your employee experience were positive. We agree that as we continue to grow, the pace and workload can be demanding. Management is continually looking at priorities and working to ensure everyone is working in the same direction and receiving the necessary support, development and training.

Unorganized, unprofessional

Pros

Sometimes we get ice cream I need to write a twenty word minimum in the pros section but I do not have anything positive to say

Cons

Management is a joke. Scheduling is a joke. Training is not existent and production workers are treated like garbage. Zero communication between management and workers and when communication does happen it is usually incorrect anyway. The schedule changes by day and workers are forced to stay late with zero notice so good luck working here if you have a family... Ironic behavior from a baby food industry. Machines stay broken for years. Tools just have duct tape slapped on and expected to work. The entire attitude from the CEOs and general management is disrespectful and disgraceful. Honestly it is unclear if this job just needs a new outlook or if all hope is futile and the place should just go under.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are sorry that you are not having a positive experience. We hope that some of more recent changes - monthly town hall meeting, communication boards and machine upgrades have made a difference. I urge you to speak to your direct supervisor or any other member of management with specific areas of concern.
