Industrial Nurse (Former Employee), Rabun Gap, GA – May 7, 2013
I had applied to Fruit of the Loom as a factory worker. They at the time were looking for a nurse..They applied for my license to Ga. and hired me...A great place to work however they were having some issues in keeping the plant open...So I moved on to another job..Still have great memories of a great experience there.

Poorly Managed plant and bad pay style.
Dryer and Compactor Operator (Former Employee), Osceola, AR – April 9, 2013
Pros: paid lunches and good time off.
Cons: poorly managed and planned.
This was a poorly managed plant with an equally poor work environment. Most of the jobs were hourly, but the harder jobs were piece work paid. The work seemed to be aligned to fail. For each fair day of work there seemed to be four poor.

The shifts were twelve hours in length working three days one week and four the next. We had every other weekend – more... off. – less

Web Designer II
Web Designer II (Former Employee), Bowling Green, KY – February 25, 2013
Pros: located in bowling green, ky
Cons: consistently re-advertises the position
The above, located in Bowling Green, KY, consistently re-advertises the position. Why is this? Is it because they have multiple positions or because they don't like the applicants. This makes it hard for an entry level, with a relevant education - from more than one IT school, person to find his/her start.

A fun and safe environment to work
Shipping and Receiving Clerk (Former Employee), Vidalia, LA – November 17, 2012
Pros: flexible shifts, the pay, and the people.
Cons: frequent lay-offs
A typical day at work would consist of working in a fast-paced environment. During my working experience, I really learned how important safety was. The coworkers were very supportive of one anothers safety and worked together to carry out daily functions. I believe the hardest part of the job was leaving it to further my career. The most enjoyable – more... part of the job was having the opportunity to show my managers how much of a great asset I could be to the company. – less

The greatest job I ever had
Graphic Designer and Supervisor (Current Employee), Wetumpka, AL – September 5, 2012
Pros: interesting, good compensations, good work environment
Cons: quite far from my home
This job is the best job I ever had. Great work environment, safety, good equipment and wise policies.
I gained a lot of experience in Photoshop and Illustrator as well as supervisor skills.
The management and co-workers are very nice people that treat me very good.
The hardest part of the job is that it is quite far from my home in Birmingham, Al.
We – more... specialize on sport balls, and during football and basketball seasons we have a lot of interesting and challenging work. – less

Great environment, lackluster execution
Replenishment Analyst (Former Employee), Bowling Green, KY – August 28, 2012
The compensation package at Fruit is sub-par. The environment and team-feel is great, but there are definitely some individuals in the wrong position at the "top of the ladder".

Very good place to work.
Maintenance Technician (Former Employee), Osceola, AR – March 30, 2012
Very good place to work. Really liked it there and wish it hadn't shut down. I liked every body I worked with and every body got along great. They shut down and moved it to Mexico because the labor was cheaper.
