    Not a good work environment
    The good thingsNo good things while working at this company.
    The challengesMy experience working at Baiada Poultry was extremely disappointing. Management was very poor, with little to no structure or leadership. There was no formal on-site training provided for any of the roles I held, which made it difficult to properly understand expectations or perform tasks efficiently. On top of that, there were no clear or formal job descriptions, so responsibilities constantly shifted without clarity or support. The office environment was also quite hostile, with staff often throwing each other under the bus instead of working as a team. Considering the level of responsibility expected, the salary offered was also well below what would be reasonable for the work being performed. Overall, it felt like a very disorganized workplace with a negative culture and little support for employees.

    Extra scrutiny and responsibility if you're not in the clique
    The good thingsEasy and simple work with plenty of roles to learn and abundant overtime. Great job if you can stay under the radar.
    The challengesComplicated by a tight-knit clique of middle managers who scapegoat a revolving door of earnest workers to justify their bad planning, lack of communication and nepotistic laziness.

    Not family friendly.
    The good thingsSome staff that I worked with were lovely.
    The challengesUpper management, lack of communication, lack of empathy for family issues such as sick children. No direction from upper management in terms of goals for staff and will not explain issues beyond vague statements.

    It was fine when i started but the longer i stay the worse it gets because nobody cares.
    The good thingsThe people that I have met along the way that were easy to talk to and gained friendships until they left to do other things.
    The challengesThe section I work in needs to be addressed on how poorly it is run and managed the team leaders are lazy and do nothing but have chats all day and yell at people and the supervisors don't address any complaints being told to them always brush it off a lot of people stand around and only a few do work hard including myself.

    Not sustainable at allWorking here as a QC since last 6 months. People are unprofessional. Feels like in order to get promotion within the company, you have to be speaking certain (foreign) language. People here talking in their own language and not English. you feel left out. They believe in working in hard and old way than smart and simplistic way. This job is not sustainable. Long working hours (10-12 hrs) everyday including weekends and public holidays. So, if you want a non-existent social life and no self-respect, then take up this job! This was the honest review.

    Don't ask too many questions, stay out of the drama. Remember your just a number.
    The good thingsFlexibility with hours and shifts, they do try and accommodate when possible. Money is good and overtime is plentiful. Options to advance within the company if wanted (to a point).
    The challengesPoor decision making by management who would rather cut costs than supply workers with needed tools and equipment. Rules and disciplinary actions may differ depending on how well your liked by management. Chaotic congested working conditions in either extreme heat or extreme cold. Repeatative work.

    Bad culture
    The good thingsMy team members, we had a good working relationship, hours of work were good and pay was reasonable but the workload didn’t reflect the pay
    The challengesVery poor culture, some management or people in higher positions talk down to you or don’t even acknowledge you at all, backward thinking business, high work volume resulting in stress, when issues are raised the common answer was ‘it’s just the way it is’

    1 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    Despite the rumors you read and hear about the company, I can't say that I have ever experienced any of it and enjoyed my time working with them. At the end of the day, they are exactly that rumors until management either denies or confirms them. I only left because I was asked to help vaccinate the chickens and they can be very long and daunting hours. May not be the best job for you if you live over an hour away from the farms and have a young family you want to spend time with
    The good thingsEnjoyed the variety of work that was available, the consistent hours, the physicality of the work, going from farm to farm and the people I got to work with and meet.
    The challengesWaking up early and traveling to some of the farms due to where to I live and some of the decisions management would make.
