Pros

Health benefits were petty decent

Cons

Manager trainee program is a joke. The managers don't actually train you and when you ask for guidance or help learning the system you get reprimanded. You are expected to do the work of multiple employees even when the farm has less than half the staff it should. The managers use fear instead of encouragement. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Worked pretty much every day.

Thank you very much for your review. We are disappointed to hear that your experience as a management trainee was less than ideal. We strive to maintain a culture where both on-the-job learning and mentorship are embraced, especially for our management trainees. We try to encourage employees to voice their concerns to our human resources team, especially when there are problems with supervisors and expectations are not being met. We’ve notified the appropriate members of our team regarding your complaint to ensure that your experience isn’t repeated with another new employee.

Pros

Some of the people are great but few and far between.

Cons

A majority of the managers are unprofessional and do not know how to manage a team. System and processes are antiquated yet they are jumping on the AI bandwagon and contractors have been let go. Benefits aren’t stellar and the pay and PTO have not kept up with industry standards. If considering for employment, beware the interview is as good as it gets.
