Pros
The employees are all very friendly and it is a very culturally diverse workplace Weekly pay If you like long work weeks you'll like this job. I work an average of 55 hour weeks.
Cons
Very low pay. Leadership starts at $18 and they demand way too much from you. Extremely high turnover rate. Upper management treat employees like spare parts. They do not care about their employees at all. No PTO for the first 6 months of employment. Doctor's excuses are not accepted so you cannot miss work even if you are in the hospital or you will be pointed. 6 points and you are fired. Don't expect raises, I have seen many employees told that if they train in other departments they will get a raise. Don't do it! It's their way of getting you to do 3 jobs and they will find any excuse to deny your raise. I see many employees working as material handlers/palletizer while still under "general labor" pay which is at least a $2-3 difference. The production schedule is also extremely unorganized and unpredictable. You finish an order at 9am and purchasing is adding cases to the order at 3pm. I have had to hunt employees down in the parking lot after production is done because orders were added to the schedule after the line was shut down, cleaned up and the crew sent home. It's completely unprofessional. They will go up on the order count and bring it back down 5 minutes later. You will also get yelled at if you cut too much product because apparently it's your fault that purchasing lowered the orders 2 hours after you have prepped the produce for bagging. Getting maintenance to fix anything properly is like pulling teeth. They will band-aid a machine and it breaks a few minutes after the "repairs". They still get angry at you for continuing to call them out though. 5 day work weeks and they will make your days off mandatory work days and notify you sometimes less than 12 hours before your shift. Constant 12hr shifts because purchasing schedules 10-17 hours of production (not counting wash downs when changing produce) on one production line but somehow we still don't have enough production for a second shift. This is just the tip of the iceberg on the issues for this company
