Harmony Beef

Started out really excited to work here and to be fair I learned a lot and my coworkers were amazing, some of which are friends to this day. That being said the work environment is completely toxic. Management talks a big game in the interview, but after over a year I saw none of their talk come through. You'll find their values written big and small throughout the building, but other than seeing it in writing you will find no sign of their lofty values in practice. Teamwork? No, Accountablility? Nope. 

But these issues are small compared to the shady business practices, and the tendency for the exact to villanize anyone who dares to question what they are doing. Their divide-and-conquer techniques are akin to the worst of abusive relationships. in the end, when you leave (and you will) they'll be happy to throw you under the bus and trash you to your back as well.

This is not a healthy place to work.

Here is my honest review, If you're considering working here, think twice be prepared for extremely challenging conditions. The environment is difficult nightmare, with strong odors and unsanitary surroundings, including blood, animal waste, and debris. Over time, these conditions can affect your mental condition, clothing, vehicle, and even your home.
The management, primarily local contractors, does not seem to prioritize worker well-being, and the overall workplace has no ventilation, culture lacks professionalism and care. Unfortunately, employees are often left to deal with poor working conditions without adequate support. The building is very old and required serious upgrade.
If you're looking for a workplace that values cleanliness, organization, and employee welfare, this may not be the right fit. I strongly recommend researching thoroughly and ask for a tour before making a decision.


a typical day at work:
Cleaned Cattle pens during the weekend. Have 20hr per weekend so 10hr/day. 7am - 5pm
what you learned:
Time management as well as work under intense pressure from higher ups
management:
Wasn't bad but wasn't the best. Had our shift posted every weekend before we left our last shift.
workplace culture:
Definitely wasn't very friendly to people who are sensitive to bad smells. Worked with Cow manure.
the hardest part of the job:
Being able to eat lunch after a nasty morning of cleaning cow manure.
the most enjoyable part of the job:
Having the freedom on how we managed our time and listening to music while working made it more enjoyable. As well as talking while working with people there were enjoyable.

If you call in sick just once they will make you feel guilty and demote you. If you are not management favorite then you are in for a miserable time. Management yells and handles things imaturely whether it's a personal matter or work related - everyone will know. They give raises to their favorite employees whether they are good workers or not, it's all who the manager likes more on a personal level. Don't bother putting in time off requests as they will always be denied. The hours are long, strenuous work and never appreciated. They say that there are opportunities to move up the ladder but they always hire from the outside. Very little pay for the job that is expected. Mentally exhausting and depressing place to work. Almost every Saturday worked, and Christmas is 1 day off. They love money more than employees

Harmony Beef is a great company for people who want to work an honest day's work in a very sustainable business.  The place has over 400 employees so it's really busy in the morning.  The operation is very clean and efficient.  There is just no time to mess around as the job is fast paced but needs to be done safely and with quality.  

The most enjoyable part of the job is the satisfaction of doing a good job in place that respects employees.  The training made me very skilled in my job.  Also, the animals are treated very humanely and facility is probably the cleanest beef you will ever come across.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
The culture, I found it more like an extended family. Very supportive, and accommodating to my family’s needs.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Different maintenance departments taking tools and not bringing them back.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Like a family. Please Read answer 1.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Same routine except for odd hiccups. Harmony Beep has the newest and updated equipment so very little repairs. Mostly maintenance and troubleshooting new equipment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay and benefits were pretty decent. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Line/grade changes in production. The conveyor belts do not stop unless absolutely necessary. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
As an hourly employee, pretty good. As a supervisor, not good unless you’re a brown noser. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful but could be fun and challenging. As a supervisor, I didn’t get full breaks most of the time due to being short-staffed and having to fill in.

Definitely one of the best companies I have worked for. Stress Level at harmony beef is very low. They provide competitive wages and also give away $250 per quarter in attendance bonus for attending work everyday. At the end of the year if you qualify, you get a chance to win a brand new car (Kia Soul). If this reason is not enough to work for harmony beef, they also provide referral bonus. As long as you are doing your job efficiently in this company you have nothing to worry about in this company. The owner of the company is an absolute gem and I have never met anyone who is more generous. I would highly recommend this company to everyone.

If management doesnt like you they would definitely find a way to terminate you. People are amazing but on the other hand management sucks. They only listen to your concerns if they’re involved but if not they wouldn’t even bother to listen to your concern. One complaint, you immediately get in trouble. While working there, felt like there’s eyes on you every time and small mistakes can get you in trouble right away unless they like you lol. They’re biased and unfair and doesn’t appreciate the effort that you put in as I said they only see the mistakes that you do! All I can say to this one person is (you dont know everything yet;) HAHAHHA

Coworkers are amazing, kind, caring people. Wish I could say the same about the higher ups. The turn over rate is disgusting! This is probably due to the fact you’re underpaid and over worked. Told to sign a good year away of “no holidays”. Was always told to give two days notice for any days off but they give you a few hours notice almost every Friday to drop your weekend for them.  They tell everyone “we want you here for a career, we see potential”... that is the biggest lie I’ve heard! Not to mention, this place could make an avid meat lover turn vegan at the drop of a hat. When injured or sick, you're told to continue working.
