Tyson Foods Incorporated Employer Reviews

Tyson is great in the fact that you can make the money you need with extra overtime all the time. It's a difficult job because of the hard labor which takes a toll on your body. The management tends to pick and choose favorites rather then value or notice the hard working people. And considering you're at work for more of your week then at home it leave – more... little to no time with family and friends. – less

we laid chicken on a belt,packed it, stacked it.I learn almost every job in the plant so you can move up in the plant.I thought the management was very good.Fun to work with. Lifting 80 lbs tubs of chicken. I didn't know want has going happen one day to next.

A good company to work for that keeps you busy and has many in house training, and safety classes. I learned plumbing, gears, welding , hydraulics/pneumatics, all in their maintenance courses.
Eventually had to leave company because they would not change my 12hr shifts after said time and I was finishing finals for college.

love the wkly pay..paid vactions.work environment was ok .shot breaks tho...

If you can handle the cold then this is an amazing place to work. I've learned so much about different meat products. Some of the management is very nice but others are rude and don't care. The hardest part of the job is standing in the cold, but you can make some amazing money doing it.

Its a good place to work .All you have to do is show up,be ready for anything pertaining to your job,try your best to accept one day at a time and do your job the best you can.Follow the rules,treat people the way you want to be treated.

My job was to use different kinds of knives to cut pork. Packaging was also part of my job.

slow and boring with very cold temps on feet in one spot for 7 hours.

tyson is a overall great company to work for. they have great benefits and great work schedules.

This job is not for everyone. If you like to be working with chicken this is the job for you. In this job you get to see the back side of how the chicken is prepared to be sent out to the grocery stores for the customers to buy

Typical day included but not limited to timed checks on the products, working with the USDA, lab work, auditing and filing paperwork.
I learned time management to be able to perform all the checks needed for the area you were assigned.
Management was great, very organized and easy to talk to.
The hardest part was when there were checks due at the same – more... time upstairs and downstairs and there was a problem with one of the checks.
I loved moving around and being part of the team. – less

Very fast paced work..honed my hand eye coordination. We packaged and inspected at least 15 pallets of bacon a day. we had to be on top of it because some of the bellies may have had puss pockets, you could smell them before you seen them. we had to pass 20 3.5 lbs. bundles of bacon every minute to meet quota.

IT WAS A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE. I GAINED A LOT OF EXPERIENCE ON TEAM WORK AND SAFETY ON THE JOB.

It's a blessing to have a job, but management has things so screwed up most of the employees are fed up with the way the plant is ran. Many employees are getting laid off and everyone is concerned about their future with the company. The hardest part of the my job is the physical and hard work being put in and not enough gratitude for what we do on – more... a daily basis. – less

getting the production daily was easy as long as the machines were running , learned different steps of the production on each machine ,management was good, the co-workers were awesome to work with, the were nothing hard about the job, the most enjoyable part was getting the experience

WELL A AVERAGE DAY, CONSIST OF ALWAYS KNOWING
ON LINE 4 . TO ALWAYS EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED........
THERE IS ONLY ONE THING THAT YOU CAN COUNT ON
ALOT OF CHICKEN,,
I HAVE LEARNED PATENCE ON MY CURRENT JOB, I LIKE
FOR EVERYONE TO WORK AS A TEAM ,,BUT THATS JUST
NOT THE CASE. THERE ARE 5 OR 6 EMPLOYEES THAT DONT DO ANYTHING AT ALL, AND THE ONES WHO WORK – more... IS PULLING THERE WEIGHT,THEY GET PAID THE SAME ,THEY
NEED TO WORK THE SAME.AND OUR LEAD WONT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THEM STANDING AROUND
BUT IF ONE OF THE HARD WORKERS TAKE A BREAK SHE
CALLS THEM LAZY AND TRUST ME I SAID SOMETHING TO HER
ABOUT HOW I FELT.AND I THINK THATS THE HARDEST PART OF MY JOB, SEEING STUFF LIKE THAT GO ON AND NOT HAVE NO VOICE....
THE MOST ENJOYABLE WOULD BE BEFORE WORK SITTING
WITH MY LINE AND TEAM MEMBERS LAUGHING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME, – less

Tyson Foods is a place where good quality meat and the overall satisfaction of the company is top priority.

Typical day at work was great. I learned to work as a team. Management was great. Co-worker were awesome. The hardest part about the job was getting up early in the am for work. I enjoyed working with the company.

Long work days with no lunch breaks you get two 15 min breaks in that time you can not leave the premises of Tyson Foods. Every time you have a vacation day expect to work that weekend or the one after.

This company is family oriented, promotes within first, and offers excellent benefits. Overall management is good.
