Lead person (Former Employee), Selbyville Del, – May 4, 2013
Pros: job security rain or shine
Cons: benefits could be better, and the rate of pay should be more

Pay is good.
QA (Former Employee), Millsboro – April 30, 2013
Pros: paycheck every week, regular pay raises
Cons: management, work atmosphere
Not really a people company. The time I was there I saw no promotions from within the company. All management positions were filled by people from outside the company. I saw a guy who had worked there for 7 months get fired for getting hit by a drunk driver, and having to miss a month of work. Nice place to work for quick cash, but I wouldn't make it – more... a career. – less

Scale Operator (Former Employee), Lumber Bridge, NC – April 11, 2013
A typical day would be just like any other day just as long as the works gets done. Management and co-workers are great. They're there to help if you need help. There's nothing hard about the job. The most enjoyable part is being the fastest scale on my line.

just a little something about the job
Floorman (Former Employee), Lumber Bridge, NC – February 1, 2013
I learned how to remove chickens products from the floor, re-hung 200 chickens per minutes, separated the leg from the thigh on the leg quarter line

Management was good but it could could have been better and the hardest part of the job was when the machines back up or shut down and you had to do everything manually i enjoyed good days when everything – more... went smoothly – less

Quality Assurance Tech (Former Employee), Selbyville, DE – June 11, 2012
Pros: good benefits, good pay rate, and growth
Cons: long hours
From day to day I would go in get my paperwork, get my equipment on and head down to check the product the work being put out. I learned so much from this job, especially when it comes to any plant that handles food product. Making sure it's not contaminated. Management was easy to work with and cared about their employees. The hardest part about this – more... job was the long hrs. I loved everything about this job from the co-workers to the benefits. – less

Pros: pay check at the end of the week
Cons: the job in itself
work was very repetitive like until it hurts almost non stop.I learned a lot of spanish and how to debone a chicken.The management was mostly spanish so you learned to understand what you were told to do.the hardest part of the job is is the pains in your hands, feet and back that you will learn to deal with or quit
