Pros

Great >Company<. Competitive Pay. Great Work Schedule. Good benefits. Plenty of time off.

Cons

Management, hands down, is the absolute worst at DOT Foods. From blatantly ignoring safety issues, even ones that have caused severe injuries or could lead to fatalities, extreme favoritism, sexual harassment, verbal abuse, and overall treating grown individuals like children. There are documented and photographed cases of manager approved vacation/time off going "missing" or "having no knowledge of" which leads to disciplinary steps, regardless if such evidence is brought forward. I have witnessed situations that could have been fatal be shrugged off, an employee be openly joked of when a machine malfunctioned and lead to them having a panic attack (order picker falling) and then be forced to get back on it, and management walk around a busy warehouse floor on their cellphones while enforcing the "No Cellphones" policy to their subordinates. Most of management are individuals with no prior work experience who were brought in simply due to having a degree, so straight out of school. They are put in charge of dozens of people at a time and will throw their employees under the bus in an instant to keep their own slate clean. They also frequently break OSHA related laws by simply signing off new management members to operate any machine in the facility and simply stick them on an unfamiliar machine and let them take off on it. For a facility that had a turnover rate of 60%+ for 2017 and currently 40% for 2018, it's easy to see that the management of this facility is hindering the growth of the company as they have lost the ability to be accountable and lost sight of the companies values that the Tracy family has built the company around.

Pros

Most hourly employees are very friendly and great to work with but few salaried employees especially management give them the respect theyour deserve. Company is growing quickly and new positions are being added. Decent benefits.

Cons

The company especially top management, which basically is the Tracy famil (and since the family is huge that will not be changing very soon), preaches diversity and inclusion and says it's a top priority at every large meeting, but that's all it is- talk. It's a conservative white maless born and raised in the Midwest club and those who are the biggest suck ups, or as they call it "brand building" are the ones who advance. When they are able to bring in diverse candidates they expect them to conform to their cookie cutter image instead of embracing those different points of views. This is why diverse employee turnover is extremely high. There is also a constant pressure to "build your brand" which basically means it's a higher priority to walk around and socialize and hang out with coworkers on weekends than it is to actually do your work. There is a constant pressure to conform and they even say that you're being watched at all times which makes it a nerve racking work environment - it's like you can finally exhale once you've left work. Because the rapid growth of the company they are turning into a soleless corporate machine rather quickly, by treating employees as a number and pinching pennies whereever possible. Employees used to get more flexibility and perks but that is no longer the case. If you want to be a robot who has to leave your personality and opinions at home and are ok with being promoted based on your ability to conform and socialize rather than your work this is the perfect job for you.
