Simplot Company reviews about "hour"

Long hours, of shift work

A lot of work for little pay

1. Things can be quite unorganized, the turnover is very high and management is constantly scrambling to get things assigned and reassigned so it never feels like you tasks are set. 2. Moving up is difficult, recruiters and even management like to preach the possibilities but really it'll likely be 4-5 years before you can even dream of moving into management. 3. As stated earlier level 5 and above is management, and level 3 is Senior positions. There are very few level 4 positions and some groups have none so you either have to make a two level jump to management or change groups. Adding more level 4 positions would benefit the company. 4. On that same note I feel they really only care about your experience at Simplot. Anything you did before got you your current position but is now not important. 5. I personally have a CPA which I got while there and no one seemed to care in the least as far as advancement or raises. 6. There's a little of a cult like vibe from the whole place, my first few weeks I'd often hear things like "the family wants this or that," referencing ownership. Was not a fan of that. 7. There are a lot of pointless meetings, some that came up due to COVID but then like COVID never seemed to want to go away. 8. During recruiting they will bring up a "generous" bonus, this bonus is for a fiscal year that ends in August. They will not however pay it out until December 31st, and if you get another job in those four months you lose said bonus. So basically they hold you hostage in your position for 33% of the year, holding it over your head. 9. Job descriptions are purposefully vague to the point that you probably will have no idea what job you are agreeing to take, and little idea of what questions to ask in the interview. Descriptions basically amount to "do accounting things."

Since Covid, they have been preaching out the wazoo about "our culture" this and "our culture" that. That ISNT A REAL THING, SIMPLOT!" No one cares if we sit next to someone all day or work at home. It's been over a year and productivity HAS NOT gone down in any department so WHY are people being forced to return to an office that means nothing to at least HALF of the people there. Do you not understand how much happier people are when they don't have to drive to work and back, get up 2 hours early just to get ready and to work on time. Being able to do things at home on lunch breaks instead of just eating. The old white man mentality of CULTURE is complete bs. We all know it's so your precious building is full and you can control every aspect of our time with you. Another con... good luck moving up or even getting a new role in the space you're in. Typically it's all about who you know and not what you know.

Long hours in the busy season

Management doesn’t care about employees Too much stress Long hours Not paid overtime

Long shift hours, not too friendly supervisors

Too much overtime, the factory is loud and messy but that's just how a factory is.

Lots of overtime, when short staffed. Even lots of overtime for those who just want to volunteer. Long hours and graveyard unless your plant doesn’t have seniority.
