JBS Employer Reviews

After living for 14 years in a soon-to-be metropolitan area, to move back to my "hometown area" in general was tough. On the job was very refreshing at first, as I enjoy helping people achieve and to do better for themselves. I was not prepared for the level of the illiteracy in the general area as I helped out in the hiring process. I also did not – more... expect some of my co-workers to not be close-minded and uneducated. These things made the job more difficult than it had to be at times, but at the same time it often afforded me the opportunity to help someone understand something or show them a different way of doing things. This was helpful on the production floor and in the administrative setting. – less

Hours varied from 32-40 hours. Management support would only receive 7.8 hours a day. I learned how to communicate with others and lead them to become better qa's. The hardest part of my job is getting people to come to work everyday. The most think I enjoy is learning new things, and hearing when the customer is happy

The great people of JBS are a bunch of lowlifes. A great man who has worked at millers packing(NOW JBS) for 40 years was just let go because they said his job had become "obsolete". He was a the service manager and he basically ran the place... I met this guy after I had applied for his job yesterday that they had supposedly "done away with". When I – more... showed him the the ad for the job he was totally heart broken. He feels abandoned at 62 to have to go off and apply for jobs. A company that treats our elders like that should be ashamed and don't deserve to exist. – less

Jbs management is confused at managing there trucks. They dont get drivers home ontime, and they are good at screwing up drivers pay checks

We usually have to be earlier down in the floor to get ready with all of our equipment ready. they dont treat people right they always yelling at people, and always short with people. Sometim,es supervisor were fun but most of the time they are mad with everyone.

my shop day begins at 1200 - 0830
we check log of the prior day. Supervisor leaves paperwork that includes task for the night. along with these tasks, we are to perform corrective action for maint. shop. We also prepare equipment that we are responsible for, for starting the production day.

got treat like a second citizen , assemble line work.run a saw,worked at a fast paste.

Not a good place to work. Gossip and personnel problems among plant personnel along with managers and supervisors are very visible.

JBS offers opportunities to learn as entry level employee, but will never offer any training and development to expand skills. There is no individual performance incentives in place to ever receive a raise once hired. Basically, they will hire the cheapest person possible just to save money and then lose that employee within 6 months to pay another – more... new employee a cheap wage. My advice, run and work for their direct competitors (Tyson, Cargill, Sanderson) and get paid the compensation that is deserved. DO NOT sign up for JBS USA. – less

JBS bought out the original company that I began my tenure. Management was numbers oriented with no exceptions to obstacles. The hardest part of the job was getting shipments out during overcrowded warehouse capacities.The most enjoyable part of the job was working with co-workers who were knowlegeable of their jobs.

Work-a-holics dream job! Busy from start to finish in a typical day. Very little time for boredom! Not a typical hum-drum job as opportunities allow for diverse culture and travel. The hardest part of the job is balancing work with family. The most enjoyable was realizing how small the world can be and building friendships overseas.

your only incentive is the sack or suspension and then being replaced by imported workers

-The compensation and benefits are comparable to other Northern Colorado companies.
-The organization has strong values in serving customers.
-They could do better with training/employee development and employee recognition and opportunities for advancement.
-The company has been in flux the last few years and has experienced a number of changes in – more... leadership.
-It also is profoundly affected by fluctuating commodities market conditions.
-I never felt pressured to work more than a normal work week. It is dependent upon the level of responsibilities. Those in management positions devote many more hours to their jobs, but that is typical of higher management.
-Generally it is a good place to work. – less

loading an unloading trucks all day. i learned alot of stuff like how to operate heavy equipment. there management was very cocky they never let people move up in the company they always brung in people from other plants in to take over. coming into work them saying you'll be done in 4 hrs 12 hrs later u still havent left. punching out

On a day to day basis, there's never the same work enviroment. Weather conditions and temperatures affect the refrigeration system to the point that it makes my job an unexpected experience. It is often difficult for my team members and myself to find solutions for these occurences .
Ultimately, solving the problems and having a zero down time shift – more... gives me a sense of accomplishment for the day. – less

Making sure all our knives were sharp at all times in order to remove ribs and meat from chuck bones, hard to learn a position due to being moved alot due to shortage of personnel, Management was out of order, they used profanity and lacked training skills, lacked customer service skills, lacked people skills, and lacked professionalism. Hardest part – more... of the job was the pain that came with cutting with a knive and picking up heavy chuck bones. – less

Love my job. Enjoyed trading cattle with all my producers. Developed a lot of good friendships over the 28 years. Traveled eastern Colorado and western Nebraska to feedlots and farmer feeders. The other buyers I worked with were all good guys and easy to work with. The changing of the market was the hardest part of the job. Market chnaging 1 to 5 dollars – more... in a weeks time. – less

We have plexible hours.
MGT operations has a hard time working with HR.
