Pros

Pay was weekly, great benefits, great work staff and employees were very kind. Set schedule.

Cons

Saturday was mandatory every weekend in my department, and I couldn't move my position there yet, but I needed every other saturday off with my children. The 45 minute drive with school traffic was killing my car everyday.

Pros

Was able to learn multiple areas on the production line. Local management was awesome and willing to train or allow you to grow as an employee as long as you want it.

Cons

Pay isn't that good. though wages are a bit above minimum wage the starting wage for entry level isn't that good. Local Management is good. However Foster Farms Corporate doesn't care, your easily replaced. The plant that I worked at was closed after the Company was Sold to Atlas Holdings so now they are closing many plants down, keeping or moving production in the states where the minimum wage is still 7.25 hr.
