Pros
Union pay is great and the benefit packages are awesome.
Cons
I worked here for over 5 years and HATED every moment of it. No life/work balance at all especially if you work on second shift as pouch machine operator. (1) No days off - if you're looking for a normal job with weekends (or any days off) this is not the company for you. As a new hire you will have no seniority and will be working 12 hour shifts 7 days a week with MAYBE an occasional Sunday off. Even those of us that had seniority rarely got a day off. (2) Poor management - Mangers here are absolute hypocrites. They spout off about "creed and values", but I promise that only applies to the company and its clients; not company and employees. The managers do NOT care about the employees at all. They also have too many managers - they have managers that manage the managers! (3) They hire incompetent supervisors all of the time (they hire and fire them constantly). In my 5 years with this company I went through at least 8 supervisors and that was just in the ketchup department - most of them were fired and a few just up and left. (4) The communication line between management, supervisors, and employees is an absolutely a joke and it costs the hourly employee jobs. (5) They are moving the meat department in Conyers, GA without offering the meat department employees the opportunity to move along with their jobs. Instead, they are giving them a severance package that may last a couple of months then they are on their own.
