Leprino Foods Reviews

Pros

Few good HR policies Small gym at denver office

Cons

Some of the worst team members, managers I have worked in my career. Each team in IT has one entitled guy especially the so called senior solution architects, who kind of try to control the show. All these sr. solution architects (mostly indian) are very political mindset driven, hardly technically capable. Almost all associate directors have old fashioned management style, focus more on saving their jobs, engage in... office politics, orthodox thinking. Only 20 % of people actually work here, and their accomplishment credit is taken by rest 80%. Eventually these hardworking 20% get fed up and leave and the rest 80% gets promoted. It's a cycle here.

Advice to Management

Kick out all the managers/associate directors and senior solution architects who only focus on saving their jobs, take credit of work done by others, not let other people in their team grow. Respect opinions of new employees, who bring in fresh perspective. HR should investigate all the past reasons of people leaving, especially in IT. They will get a answer.

Pros

Very innovative and profitable company, leader of the industry

Cons

Long hours, not much appreciation, very critical of work

Pros

Leprino is an extremely stable company. It is a true luxury to work for a company that has the capital to invest in growth of the business and its employees. Work hard, and it will be noticed, and you will always be on a growth path. The work is challenging, but positive team players thrive within Leprino culture. Conversely, negative people can have a hard time succeeding here.

Cons

Some systems and processes are outdated for a company this large, but the company continually uses resources to improve.

Pros

Benefits, retirement, profit sharing, bonus.

Cons

Too many working hours required. Horrible employee engagement. Leadership acts like they care what employees think but they do not. HR is not encouraged to help people or support them. They are also not informed. What this company cares about is money without realizing that they're losing so much money from turnover than they're supposedly saving by their ridiculous philosophies. Also some racism and favoritism.

Advice to Management

Let employees decide engagement opportunities. Encourage supervisors and HR to work with the employees more so certain things like benefits, health screenings, events can be utilized more.

Pros

Pay check and benefits and that's it!

Cons

Lack of direction from management. No quality control, all that matters is lbs of product out the door. No ethical behavior. Lots of false documentation just to comply with audits. If you have a degree or any other experience is now used and/or valued. Managers are managers because they have been there since they were in high-school, not because they know how to manage. They burn employees down. Each... department just tries to cover they issues and they do not fix them. Management has unrealistic expectations on their capabilities. Middle management, the new supervisors who come from he outside last at the most 2 years, because they see no growth path. Unless you are a brown nose you will not get ahead. If managers do not like you or have an idea of you they will make a case to get you out of the door. No real commitment to continuous improvement. Maintenance and management do not fix anything, they are all just patch it to keep producing bad cheese.

Advice to Management

Start acting ethically.

Pros

Secure, No heavy Pressure, profitable company,

Cons

No respect for women specially in IT probably because of the Asian Men, HR and benefits departments are not very helpful and friendly

Pros

Stable job for the incompetent and lazy. If you are a brownie hound you have a decent chance for advancement. They will not fire you if you are unable to do your job. It is easier to make someone else work harder and do others work than to hold someone accountable for not performing. If you are unable to do your job and underperform chances are you will be promoted to the corporate level. It is quite often that... managers and supervisor need to ask their techs or team leads basic operational questions because they do not know.

Cons

There are a ton of recordable accidents. If you are working maintenance you will be forced to work of high voltage but they will not issue proper ppe. If you have another job opportunity, take it. It is not worth working for a place that does not respect you and makes you work a garbage schedule. Only take a job here if you literally have no other options. Even then I would hesitate in taking a job here.

Advice to Management

Clean house. There are too many terrible managers that do not know their jobs. Moral is very low, no one wants to work in the Greeley plant. Literally anyone you talk to is looking for work elsewhere.

Pros

People and culture and industry standards of pay

Cons

Outdated thinking and doubt that outsourcing all IT staff saved them money
