Pros

I joined FSNS a bit ago-years ago. I was in retail and the food service industries. I have a couple years of college classes, but no degree. The retail and food businesses I worked in were dirty, had horrible smells, customers and managers who were just downright mean. They would swear at you, threaten you physically (if the product or food was not what they wanted or the slightest thing went wrong.) For those of you who have been in these businesses you know way I am saying is true! Pay was low – usually something over minimum wage – and I would scrape and claw for more in position and pay. I got married had a kid and both my wife and I worked in these businesses. We barely saw each other and just made ends meet. Usually they tried to keep us part-time so we couldn’t get any benefits and at times had to work multiple jobs just to make it. Some days we only ate at the restaurant. Then, I took a chance and came to FSNS a couple years ago. No one swearing at me over a counter, a clean environment, much higher pay, benefits, nice people who care about me and the customers. I am trying to figure out how to make the school thing work with my family. I see me as a supervisor in the future. Bonus at Christmas will get my kid something nice.

Cons

Yea, there are smells in a lab. I work a lot of hours AND I GET BUCKS FOR IT. I like handing mama the cash. BUT- stand over a fryer, oil drum, clean a trap, work on a customers raggily a- car and then come and talk to me. This place is heaven in comparison.

Pros

Company is trying to provide for us but it is not enough. Recompensation is in the works for some time now and who knows when it will be completed. I doubt the benefits will ever be affordable. Just don't have any kids or a spouse and youll be fine.

Cons

In my honest opinion, I do not believe that this food safety company is a career for most people because our management constantly works 60-80hour work weeks and so do us hourly workers. Main story is that nobody has any kind of life here.

It is disheartening to hear these comments- some of which are untrue or dramatizations – which you know. We work hard to create a great culture for our employees – to include competitive pay and benefits. We are constantly analyzing our total rewards package. As part of our culture initiatives, about a year ago – though our lab managers – we suggested that employees consider posting feedback on Glassdoor. Many companies do this. There were no incentives offered, no one was coerced, no one was written up and we all know feedback is anonymous. Unfortunately, we had some managers and employees who were unable to properly interpret the request and/or felt that anonymous feedback would be a conduit for change. As you know, posting “your business” on social media does not resolve issues – in-person productive discussions do. A number of leaders have visited this facility, conducted meetings, visited with employees individually, etc. – in a spirit of caring and trying to help remedy issues – part of our Open Door Policy. Rather than post on social media, how about giving me or another member of the HR Team a call to talk through your concerns so that we can properly address them? If after this discussion we cannot come to a mutual resolution, I would be happy to help you find another opportunity that is more suited to what you want to do. Thank you. Bob Cox, SVP HR

I hope you will take some time to talk with Liz and other leaders on your thoughts and concerns or give me or a member of the HR Team to discuss further. Thanks Bob Cox, SVP HR
