Solid Company - HR Mgr GUGGISBERG Employee Review

Same rules for everyone. They brought in a supervisor in September who is excellent. Stays positive, works very hard and listens. Other people on the job are very willing to teach, encouraging. Atmosphere is friendly- I haven't seen any feuds. Filed a sexual harassment complaint on my first day (I heard a kid who works there joke innapropriately to one of the female workers) and they took it very seriously, went by the book. This is the only instance of any trouble like that I've heard in 2 weeks there. First company I've worked for where they don't encourage you to cut corners. Everyone in the same boat- forklift drivers hopping down to help with packaging, plant manager regularly on the floor, knows the procedures from the ground up. No screaming, no namecalling. One supervisor spoke to me a little abruptly in a stressful moment, and then apologized! Just been there 2 weeks, but I've never seen anything like it. HR manager is around regularly, very accessible. This review is for the cutting room at Sugar Creek. I can't speak for the rest of the plant.

Very loud, very fast-paced, monotonous work, lots of lifting. Just the nature of the job. Not for everybody. Shift is 5am-3:30pm. Normally 4 days per week, but some Saturday work.

Decent pay, guaranteed 40 hours , decent insurance,

Management would rather hire outside personnel that has zero experience in the food industry, production or sanitation than promote senior employees to management positions, barely any training done to new employees, barely any training to senior employees asking for training, has only female managers and refuses to promote or hire male managers, no standard operating procedures
