AGRANA Reviews

Not the team oriented place it used to be. Management is undecided on how to proceed. No clear direction on the best way to move forward. To promote change, they want to get rid of current employees and replace with new, young employees. Past changes have not yielded any improvement in sales or employee satisfaction. Some departments are expanded and others are ignored and over worked. Plant employees are overworked and not treated fairly. Promises are made for promotions and pay increases but do not materialize in a timely manner, if at all. Promised promotions and pay raises can take numerous inquires and a long period of time to actually happen.

There are 2 major issues at the Fort Worth plant. One, is that the job is very demanding. You will work your rear off every day and still be criticized. Everybody works mandatory overtime every week. You will work Saturdays. You will be 30 min from the end of your shift then find out you have to stay 4 more hours because something broke or someone called in. No amount of work is ever good enough. 2nd major issue is that Fort Worth plant management yells and curses at each other and sometimes at employees. If you work on 1st shift you will hear people get screamed at and/or cursed out and it may happen to you depending on your job and manager. Not for the faint of heart. Besides these 2 issues, there are very few days off for newer employees. Your first 2 years you get 8 days off a year--that's vacation and sick/personal put together. Considering everyone works overtime every week, it's disappointing that so little time off is offered, and you still have to work overtime to cover the employees who have 5 weeks off because they've been at the company for 15+ years.
