IFF reviews

Employees are treated like second class citizens. Pay is extremely low compared to the market in the Dallas area. Employees with college degrees are paid the same or sometimes less than others with no college education. Since the pay is low you are always working with inexperienced and unqualified people. They can not keep good people because they leave after a few years to get higher pay at another company. They rarely promote from within and usually go outside the company to fill positions. They exploit illegal immigrants for cheap labor. There is at least one guy there using someone else social security number so he can work there. Extreme PC culture there, you can not even say “Merry Christmas” because they think it might offend someone. Instead you have to say “Happy Holidays”. They pride themselves on being diverse but what it means is that they hire mostly everyone that is not white. Hostile work environment for white people. HR is a joke, people throw the race card with impunity. Work hours are horrendous, at times people can be forced to work 15 hours a day and they will not hire any help. Night shift will work most holidays since their shift starts the day before. If you are lucky to get one, raises are terrible and do not even keep up with inflation. They do not have enough employees so if someone is sick or on vacation then you will be forced to work a different shift then you normally do. You can't use your cell phone at all, even if it is to check the time. They will write you up if you even touch your cell phone. Management micromanages everything. They stalk you, sneak up on you, and follow you around; which is very creepy and borderline stalking. Career wise IFF is just a stepping stone, only come here if you need to gain experience. Otherwise STAY AWAY from this place.

Past 3 years local HR was highly political and used all dirty means to dominate and retaliate the employees: fabricated anonymous hotline complaints were registered by HR against the employees whom they don’t like or the people who are not abiding , pretty much HR themselves investigated those complaints and delivered the judgement to reprimand the people. selective rumours by HR about targetted employees were floated to humiliate them. Nepotism and favoritism for selected few encouraged. By HR bullying , manipulating some Loyal, Long serving and harmless employees were either destroyed or silenced successfully. high level of corruption Is prevalent in recruitment. Few key positions were filled through heavy kickback by all unethical means in the past 3 years. Today very strong toxic culture is prevailing in India thanks to these misconducts.
