Leprino Foods Employer Reviews

Pros – • Good pay & benefits for the area.
• Good - although somewhat expensive- health care
• Unbeatable location if you happen to live in the area (no traffic & easy access)
Cons – • Personal agendas rather than the common good of the organization are the order of the day.
• External validation such as money, status, and power are the motivators.
• – more... Projection and blame, rather than ownership and personal responsibility, are the norm.
• Fear is the underlying factor for all action. There are narcissist Managers who will bully you and supervisors who mob with them. Watch your back.
• Rivalry and competition between local management & corporate management block true teamwork and alliance. Makes you wonder if the plan is to eliminate all local management and direct everything and everyone from Corporate offices.
• Lip service and inauthentic communication are common.
• Disregard of employees’ needs or feelings is normal and usually rationalized. Expect to work over 60 hours a week if you are salaried; 12 hour shifts for hourly employees will come soon.
• Discrimination (age, race, gender, weight, sexual orientation, religion, etc.), though denied, is occurring. The lack of women in upper management/technical positions can't be a coincidence.
• Nepotism is rampant.
Advice to Senior Management – I sometimes wonder if the owner- is being conveniently sheltered from how bad things really are in Lemoore West. While I cannot speak of other plants- Lemoore West has become a toxic place to work in. The only thing that stops the already high turnover- is the lack of comparable employment in the area. – less

As most other reviews state; management does have its favorites! You will work a lot of hours and this is a 24/7 operation. Communication from above is low, but you can find information out from the suck ups. If your single, Leprino is a good place to begin career. If your married - keep looking.

I left right before the recession to start my own business . If i had only known I would have definitely stayed.

To much favoritism. If a supervisor or manager gets in trouble expect to get in trouble because they won't take responsibility for their own actions.

Leprino is a great company to be employes at. I worked a lot of hours and the pay was great. The job can be difficult but if you are a technical thinker. you will thrive.

this employer will tell you they are family orinted and then when it comes to your family, they tell you your jobs is first.

Wages and benefits very attractive
Working 10-hour shift work not so attractive
Constantly finding way to improve SOP's for a safer, more productive workplace.
Teamwork encouraged and Safety equipment encouraged
Therefore having zero accident rate over a 5-year period.
Encouraged to achieve "Extra mile" incentive for modest monetary gain.
Pleasant place – more... to work as a lab/quality control technician. – less

Unless you are male, you will not be a member of the "Boys Club". Expect to be under paid and over worked (60+ hrs). And reminded on a daily basis how thankful you should be to have the job.

Worst place to work if you have a family. Great benfits and pay. Long hours . Upper managment is hard to get a long with. Great co workers .

Depends on what shift you work and the nature of the work you may have no life and time for family

It's a tough culture to understand, but they are slowing growing in terms of leadership and development.

Very low cultured workforce who do not take change very well and management who are very command and control orientated.

I enjoyed the people I worked with along with the constant diversity of day to day work requirements.

Leprino Foods was a very great place to work. A normal day of work was maying such the production lines are running smooth and the unloading and loading of production cheese going the right customer.My day of a foreman at leprino were very good to me and working with coworkers were very excellent . The hardest part of the job were when some one calling – more... in sick it pull alot of stress on the night crew everybody has to step it up. The most enjoyable part of the job was making such eveything was done for the next production day. – less

they told me after 90 day I would get a review and a raise. I didn't get either. there insurance is next to nothing they don't pay anything on prescriptions. I have had better supervisors. they do train you. for your job. they have a big change over on employees. I like the employees I work with. we help one another. As long as you do your job you want – more... have a supervisor breathing down your neck. I have had a worse job. but I have had better. – less

Great job. I just made sure everything at the facility was being cleaned and sanitized the correct way and that the janitors had the supplies they needed to get this done. The hardest part is to keep all the Janitors motivated and happy. The most enjoyable part was staying busy and finding new challenges to tackle everyday.

Great pay and plenty of hours. Too many co-workers to keep track of. Worked in a huge cheese plant where there was always something to do or someone to help. Management style would not be consistent, so goals would change depending on the manager at hand.

I worked third shift sanitation, it was 100% impossible to get everything done in 8 hours! They would start the cheese and you'd still be trying to put things back together! I can't stress this is NOT a females job. I came home every night with HUGE bruises and cuts. The bosses HATE girls. MY boss treated me like dirt and they made bets on how long – more... i'd last even before I started! The only pro was the pay but it still wasnt enough for me not to walk away! – less

Large amount of work to get to get done with a very restricted amount of time to get it done. I learned alot about cheese making and chemicals used for sanitation. worked with alot of very dedicated people who really cared about safety of product. The hardest part of job was doing a quality job in a very short time.

Pros:coworkers, decent pay for this area.

Cons: I can't even begin to describe the BS that myself/coworkers experience daily, first the favoritism the managers show is sickening. Always new rules and regulations that have people being wrote up for the pettiest stuff, and they wonder why people are always quitting! My advise is to run far away from – more... Leprino. – less
