Employer Update - OTR Truck Driver ingredients PLUS Employee Review

Working as an intern at Ingredients PLUS has been a great experience overall. The work that I have done makes me feel like I'm truly integrated and a part of the team. I've been given meaningful assignments, not just paperwork and odd jobs. Compensation is generous. Everyone that I have worked with, from co-workers to managers, have been great, and many have been very good mentors for me. I can't recommend it enough.

There are no cons that come to mind.

Company has been through some changes over the past few years. Went from a privately owned company before being bought by a large company. That change and adapting to new policies can be hard for some people. I have worked for a few employers over my career, none are perfect including ingredients plus but it really is one of the best places I’ve worked. There is great talent here and great people. The negative reviews are surprising. I’m sure some are legit, others seem like disgruntled former employees. In my time here, I’ve seen quite a few people leave for a “better opportunity” just to come knocking 6 months later for their job back….Benefits and perks are better than many employers I’ve worked for in the past. Still keeps a small company feel. Don’t get me wrong, it’s hard work. Don’t expect to do nothing and get paid for it. Manufacturing and trucking can be a tough industry. Management has to make tough choices and make the company money, that’s why we’re here. Come in with a team mentality instead of a me mentality and you’ll do fine.

Has experienced a lot of growth over the past year. Training not the best, but they’re working on it. Just hired trainers and filled a bunch of open positions. Nice to be with a company that’s hiring instead of laying off. I’m sure they’ll figure it out with time, but definite growing pains in between.
