Great money, but I hope you don't have a family. - Meat Cutter Indiana Packers Employee Review

Thank you for the feedback. Even when it's not positive, knowing a current team member's perceptions is helpful. Operating a meat processing facility is complicated, given the fact that we have contracts with farmers we have to honor, needs of customers we must consider, and fellow team members we need to respect. The issue is not taking more than we can handle, but rather not being at full staffing (we've added 300+ new positions in the last 15 months and will be adding another 150+ before April 2020) and having a small, but significant group of team members who struggle coming to work consistently. With respect to your comments about safety, you comments simply are not accurate. In fact, we have an exceptional safety record with both our total incidence rate and days away from work being approximately 50% of the industry average. Our safety team is comprised of - almost exclusively - hourly team members who contribute greatly to the success of these efforts. I promise - there's no company-wide conspiracy for team members who have disagreements with their team leader. I would like to know more about your comments regarding promotion and transfer procedures; these are important areas and we're going to be instituting standards with respect to both the process & timing in the coming months. Also, if the rotational process in your department is not being followed, please come talk with me. This is important - and has been - in the realization of the safety results we've achieved over the past several years. Mark Berry, VP, People
