Pros

Good people to work with at my location

Cons

Terrible upper management. Zero work life balance…and that was the expectation. CEO is good but seems disconnected to how his next level management is operating.

Pros

When I started Simplot was a great place to work. Challenging work, not micro-managed. Reasonable pay and benefits.

Cons

The work load is overwhelming. There is some direction from upper management, but the direction in the trenches is almost non-existent. Just get everything done for everybody.

Run away

Pros

At Simplot I am a packaging operator. The pay for an Idaho job is amazing.....but the management is so bad (including all of the upper and lower) its TERRIBLE!!! Run away if you have a family. You'll be a night shift worker for years. And the benefits are garbage. The only advancement opportunity is to kiss...well you know what... and become a supervisor which by the way pay less than an operator position. Run away. Run fast. And don't look back.

Cons

Every week is 60 hours. No time off and the management doesn't care a bit. The union is worse than having Trump and Clinton as our president choices. This job, while the pay is great, is a family killer. Look somewhere else
