Pros

Lads working in the mill are great, as are the HGV drivers.

Cons

Management will work you like a dog with little or no care for your wellbeing. Too many breakdowns to count putting further pressure on you and your colleagues, all the while management will be sat in their office staring at you through the cameras. Little to no progression within the company except three mill technician levels, 1,2 and 3. Promised level 2 back in October 2024 for January 2025…. Still nothing by July 2025. You either won’t last long enough for level 3 or your face won’t fit . Staff sacked for petty reasons, witnessed constructive dismissal towards at least two colleagues while others can do whatever they please. Frequent visits by higher ups at Noble Foods will send the site manager into a panic and whip you into cleaning more than you’ll actually be producing feed. Nightshift you will find it’s only you and one other person on site. No management, no first aider. Any help you may receive will be on the end of a phone (provided they actually answer) All in all, working at Noble Foods for 12 hours a day can only be described as a fever dream full of paranoia and disappointment. I would rather be homeless.

Pros

Very easy work, you can turn up and do nothing but drink coffee if you are pals with anyone in charge and nothing is broken at the time (40% chance). You will likely find yourself being promoted to a role where sitting down and having coffee is expected when things go wrong if you are pals with the right folk anyway so remember to have that apple nice and shiny.

Cons

Unfair workloads. You will need to do more work in the long run to make up for the lack of investment, everything is penny-pinched to the extreme. They will save a few grand on equipment then a few months later once it has fallen apart start spending way more than saved on repairs, downtime, and man hours each year for the remainder of the equipment's life cycle. This is the story from the brushes to sweep the floors to the HGVs on the road. All this will impact work/life balance at times, while not terrible it has to be scored low due to the fact a lot of the needed overtime could be avoided. The culture and diversity at this site is very poor, I have heard another site in the milling division might have more than one combination of race and gender other than white/male.
