Pros

We THOUGHT it was to be home every night and off on weekends for Sunday church. We Thought it was to pay 1300 to 1500 per week.

Cons

The Cactus, TX location is not run honestly or professionally. There was no way to be home like they said because, in order to make 1300 you had to either run 4 "turn and burn" loads OR work the cattle trucks anywhere from 0230 to 1830, at LEAST 14 hours a day. Herding the cattle on foot into the truck is insanely dangerous and demanding... especially when hired as a driver!?!?! They cater to the Hispanic workforce majority and there is reverse discrimination going on.

Pros

Good coworkers. Discount on meat products processed at the plant.

Cons

Low pay for heavy workload; benefits reduced across the board after JBS bought the plant from Cargill. Disrespectful upper management that will cuss people out and then send line workers to HR for using profanity. Lousy role models. Lots of mandatory overtime to increase the plant's production, but the company doesn't want to pay you a nickel for your time during that production. It's all about a huge profit for the company and crap wages for the workers. Used to be a great place to work years ago. Nobody wants to help out the workers, not even when you take your complaint to HR. Too many people in jobs they got because they're related to somebody or they grew up together in Beardstown. It's a pork processing plant with a bunch of chickens running around with their heads cut off.
