What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

I feel like part of a team and not have the feeling they are just waiting for a mistake to be made

Highly involved in all processes within the company. They work hard to bring down silos.

My supervisor is very fair

They are very understanding with any situation

Communication & being fair as an employer

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Hiring qualified people for higher level positions

Supporting staff as well as the company. Managers are very company and profit driven but pay little mind to the individual employee and daily processes.

I was forced to sign a sheet saying that I was trained on a job I have never been trained on before I was walked to HR to get a final notice right up and have never had a write up there or any place else. I have never felt so defeated starting a new job ever

Honesty, involvement, giving all info needed

Most of them sell women's relationships, most of them sell contraband. The administration does not put them on the basis of experience, but rather personal relationships

Review from Product Dept

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

Cost of benefits is low

It was overall pretty good.

Salary and bonus are more than fair.

The 401k and health benefits

Healthcare is pretty cheap here

Review from Product Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

Positions are not rated correctly compared to industry when it comes to compensation within the biopharma secror

More time off as a salary employee

Maybe be trained and not written up as a fall person 1.5 hours into training

Fast food workers make as much or more then I do. They are responsible for dropping fries. I am responsible for pig selection, placement, treatments, loadout, projections on market hogs, laundry, ordering supplies, and coordination with outside contractors.

Higher pay & salaries, regular & better bonuses. Better yearly raises "3 to 8 cents doesn't make employees feel appreciated or valued." Why try to be anything other than to be a absolute average employee when there's no benefit/reward for the extra effort put into making the company better overall.
