confectionery wasteland - Anonymous employee ADM Employee Review

I find it hard to believe that adm has earned so much success as an agricultural giant by running process facilities like the way the hazleton plant is run. There is such a disconnect between management and hourly employees to a level that creates a very unsafe working environment. Most safety issues that are brought to management's attention are dis-regarded until a serious incident happens that can't be "pushed under the rug" and after the employee is blamed for the incident, then the proper engineering changes are made. We are forced to work all major holidays without so much as a thank you, while management gets to celebrate those holidays with their families. If you are seriously considering a career at adm cocoa hazleton you might also want to brush up on your firefighting skills, we are not allowed to call 911 in the event of a fire because upper level management doesn't want deal with the publicity, so we are handed water squirting bottles and off to the fight! None of us have had ANY proper training to be put in situations like this, no respirators, no nothing, but if you do pursue a job position at this location you should have plenty of time for external training because your family will leave you!
