Awesome Place to Work - Anonymous employee Pine Ridge Farms Employee Review

The environment has many cuktures

Antiquated software and policies are somewhat dated

The team and people, the HR team actually stood up for employees

The hours were all over the place. I was told I'll have a set schedule and work 8 hours a day, that I would pick my start/end time - that was a lie. I was told weekends were rare - 3 back to back weekends were required in the first month. I was also told I do not need to be tied to my phone, which was another lie. If I didn't answer (because I was driving) I would be told that I need to get blutooth hooked up or something so I can answer my phone. Other employees in my department that were of equal status were allowed to leave early on multiple occasions and only worked their scheduled 8 hour shift. I was also made to bounce between 2 facilities and there was no reimbursement for mileage or gas. Training was lackluster. I was thrown into a couple of things and told I should know it - then I explained I didn't have training I was given a quick walk through that was only about 5 minutes. I had a personal issue that I had to deal with and asked that the company work with me (letting me off at my 8 hour mark rather than 12+) and I was given a hard time about it. I was also paid less with 10+ years of experience than someone they hired off the floor (a difference of $10,000/yr)
