Foster Farms Reviews

Pros

Good for new electrician's learning troubleshooting, schooling opportunity, healthcare, steady job.

Cons

Down times, lack of pay, hours very and they like to change shifts around. Union overcharges for dues when they have no power to really help. 2 times the normal union dues. Radeos don't always have the best reception, they take months to give you access to needed areas.

Advice to Management

Have a radeo, keys, access card ready for your employee, Consentrate on your training books, get them to your employee early not later, train them in testing equipment, you have leads use them for training as you as management do not have the time you need to train them.

Pros

I started work at foster farms at 2001 I enjoyed my job.

Cons

Every thing going good

Pros

Dedicated Employees Good Benefits Ability to move within the company, role dependent

Cons

Company does not adhere to their own Core Values. There is no work/life balance, though this varies between depts. No funding for training or education. Eliminated their internal HR training group. If you want to enhance your skills it must be done on your own time at at your own expense. No appreciation for their employees and the personal sacrifices they make to keep the business running. Continually cuts budgets...

Advice to Management

Rethink how you manage your business and how you treat your employees. You may retain local employees who have no other options, but you won't retain any strong talent recruited from outside of the valley.

Everyone is expendable. They will outsource without a thought about how long people gave to the company

Pros

You get to get paid every week

Cons

When it’s cold in the winter time. There isn’t any heat inside, and when it’s hot. They refuse to cut the fans on. The head personals are very rude to most employees, and some workers never get a congratulations for their hard work. It’s a place I wouldn’t recommend anyone to apply for a job there.

Advice to Management

Loosen up, and take the time out to get to know each employee personally. As well as an every day employee.

Pros

Great opportunities for experience, this is of course due to you having to figure it out on your own.

Cons

Management is poorly trained, will always have an opinion on the work you do with no actual angles for improvement most of the time they cant even tell you why its wrong it will just depend what mood there in.
