Reser's Reviews

Each plant operates as a unique entity meaning good luck on standardization. Typical manufacturer - lbs out the door outweighs the proper approach the first time. We will get to it later... Lots of people in positions with no formal training and only tribal knowledge to pass it down. And we hope they are good at their job - before they train their replacement. The company has changed a lot (for the better) over the course of my 5 years but still seems backward. Old-school management styles still exist in pockets. We nod in meetings and forward facing - but behind closed doors... Many of the plants have some toxic undertones. Documentation is mediocre at best. Most manage levels down, vs. up. Accountability issues and favoritism have been known to exist.

difficult to attract and retain good employees due to low wages, inadequate change management, poor communication of expectations to personnel at plant level, plant management expected to perform as a world-class organization with sub-par non-salaried employees and lacking the tools necessary to motivate employees, lack of technical support. Reser's went from a company that no one had heard of to a company that no one wants to work for in just a few months.
