Job didn't match what I was told in the interview - Team Leader Perdue Employee Review

Pros

I had good immediate supervisors, and of course you get great discounts on chicken. Pay was good for the industry, and benefits aren't bad either. On-site wellness center.

Cons

Not a very positive working environment. I was told 50 hours a week in the interview; turned out to be 65+, sometimes upwards of 80. Meetings were regularly scheduled for times that were convenient to day shift supervisors but required night shift to come in several hours early. Upper management (with the exception of the plant manager) was very negative, threatening to fire us on a regular basis. Also, upper management was almost never present on night shift to see what was going on.

Pros

As long as production is good it's pretty laid back. Not mandatory to cover shifts for coworkers.

Cons

Micromanaging and you are responsible for cleaning the plant. No hired cleaning crew. Management responsibilities are becoming lab tech's responsibilities.
