Survey Says... Stay Away
IT (Former Employee), Arden Hills, MN – May 13, 2013
Cons: overworked, short staffed, very poor management
No advancement opportunities, co-workers and managers lack relevant and/or college education. Lack real corporate experience. Management micromanages too often and will not relinquish control of the technological platform collectively to the team. Management also does not take ownership to work the problem if issues develop from lack of proper funding – more... of associated technology. Implemented 3 strikes rule (and your out) to change management process which indicates a discriminatory practice resides with IT management from top to bottom. HR refused to address this policy and team surveys do nothing to address the issues within Management. Overall there is a real problem with leadership. – less

More work versus less pay.
Bag Puller/Lead (Former Employee), Henderson, CO – February 21, 2013
Pros: maybe, vacation time.
Cons: perform 2-3 employees jobs while they get paid. perform management functions daily.
Get all trucks loaded at all costs. Too many spoiled and unproductive workers in front office, production and warehouse. Lack of teamwork, communication, no management support for warehouse. Lazy workers on both shifts. Loading trucks with broken forklifts, working in extreme weather conditions without heating or air conditioning. The most enjoyable – more... part of job was taking vacations, but not coming back to more work!! – less

It was enjoyable when a surtin manger was not there.
License Cheese Maker (Former Employee), Chilton, WI – December 6, 2012
Pros: getting along and being able to talk to everbody
Cons: the place is very strick on breaks.
A typical day is start at 4am Milk truckers come in test the milk before it can be unloaded. Make sure that the milk is good, check the seals. Some management is fine, there;s one manager that does not like me at all. I got a long with most of my co-workers. You can not get a long with everybody. But you try very hard to. because you are with more then – more... you are with your spouse.There was no hard part I really enjoyed my job. – less

Not a pleasure to work there
Fork Lift Operator (Former Employee), Spokane, WA – September 20, 2012
Pros: pay
Cons: listened to a bully.
Found favoritism, and unethical practices with regards to employees. Everyone cowered to a bully. Even management had his ear. The job itself I enjoyed, and the people (equals) were nice enough. Pay was pretty good. Tried to keep the place clean.

it was eye opening for a new guy right out of college
Dairy Agent (Former Employee), southeast – July 30, 2012
You learn quickly or fail miserably. It was my first job right out of college and was not the best fit for me, I had a lot of growing up to do before I should have been out on my own.
