Morale is terrible among the workforce, from new-hires to lifers.
I have worked my 8 hour shifts, but was told at the end of it I was working a 12 hour shift. I would be unable to do see my own child's graduation, without getting "pointed"
The management is terrible. You are expected to overwork yourself and break your body down, as to meet quota or keep up with the machines.
If you're late more than 15 minutes, then you half a "point". Leave early, even if sick? 1 point. Now mind you, 14 points is termination.
I love shopping in their little store.
The Flowers bakery here in Batesville, is one of the lowest paid out of all their plants.
This is the one the worst places I have ever worked at, due to worker exploitation, pay, work environment (sweat shop work), and corporate culture.
The "point" system for attendance is ludicrous.
Makes good bread
They make your bread across the country. The general public loves it.
One gets 2 points for missing a day, if you've "called in" the same day. It takes a YEAR for these points to get off your attendance record. That's 7 days you can miss in an ENTIRE year, including a day you might miss due to foul weather.
Supervisors will not give you time off without pay
However, the jobs are terrible. I worked in the shipping department for a year. Factory work that hurts your body.
