Griffith Foods

I spent 4 years at Griffith in the production department and I can say that there is a great camaraderie among the workers, generally. Any confusion and angst would come from above at management level, with a lot of conflicting paths to seamless production and client satisfaction. 

If you're just there to put in your hours and go home then you will face little in the way of obstacles. 

There is a great social culture for those who are interested in getting to know who they work with. A lot of it is provided by the company itself like an annual open-bar workers' appreciation,annual company picnic, Christmas party, annual banquet and lots of other charitable events in between. 

For those who end up in production you may find that you find yourself at work more than at home due to the excess overtime provided.

Easy work load and responsibilities. However, poor management and overall work environment makes working in the company frustrating and disappointing. 
Not to mention heavy focus on budget which disables the company to transact business efficiently as price/budget is chosen over sensible practices or methods along with being short staffed. This results in employees being overworked and feeling overwhelmed.
If transparency, accountability, fairness and change are not qualities you value, you should have no problem working here.
On a positive note, the company offers good pay and benefits. Many social events throughout the year, good focus on volunteering programs and good health benefits and rewards.

Great employees in plant. Experienced. Committed. Well trained.
Strong Safety culture.
Challenging every day due to year over year sales growth.
Recognition for good performance given and tangible-all eligible for annual bonus.
Toughest daily issue was managing process flow and space constraints.
Food rewards and $ rewards for plant employees for good Food Safety and Safety performance.
Outside audits always very positive.

As a junior culinary technician, I spend most of my day assisting the chefs or food scientists by batching samples that are either sent to the client or is tested on product. Occasionally I assist with the preparation of dishes that are using products produced by Griffith Foods to market to customers. 

I have learned so much from the food scientists and the chefs, they are all friendly, knowledgeable and provide a nurturing environment for everyone to grow within the food industry.

I worked at the sanitation position as part timer. Company has a culture, people were generally good. It is a systematic company, people follow the rules, and department help each other.

However, the position was hard. It gives muscle pain, mostly on your back and neck. Smell was also so strong. It sticks on your clothes even if you wash. 

Friendship was ok, I can’t lie. Plant has shower, free towels, sometimes free barbecue parties and some benefits to the full times (not to part timers).

The hardest part of the job is dealing with factory workers such as in the inventory counts while the most enjoyable part of the work is the friendliness of staffs from a diversified background

The environment at Griffith Foods was excellent for employees.
Individuals who exceeded their assigned goals were rewarded, more so in Sales.
This is a sales led company with much authority to drive change and raise the bar within the operation.
I spent my working career at this company and only speak well of my coworkers and senior management.

I recommend Griffiths as a premier employer

People in management are really good to work with. I really had good colleagues. Main drawback is pay. HR is the worst department of company, who dont have idea of average pay in market and they dont value you. maintenance has really low staff and HR has no efforts in hiring new people on timely manner.

Every day working in production is  not easy , physical & lots of paper work to be done to make sure that no mistake is made .
vacation use it or loose it.
shift start Sunday evening with overtime.
Monday - Friday has overtime .
Saturday has overtime.
Sundays & holidays has double time.
Some production department has cash bonus & day off with pay.
