Worst experience of my career so far (Kilbourn Factory) - Quality Assurance Analyst Unilever Employee Review

Corporate is so detached from plant locations - they leave the plants floundering with no investment or resources. Plant culture is a joke - bullying and intimidation are rampant at this location (Chicago) and HR does nothing. The union is untouchable and the employees know it. Leadership is not willing to listen when problems are brought to their attention. No care for life/work balance or personal lives. You are literally a body taking up space to them. I would leave work crying 3-4 times a week from the amount of verbal and mental abuse from co-workers and plant workers on the floor. I would have panic attacks just thinking about going into work. My boss at my new job says they can tell I have PTSD from this job. All these problems were brought to the attention of the QA Manager at the time and were never addressed and I was instead told to stop being so vocal. Quality culture is all but nonexistant - the rest of the plant sees food safety and quality as an afterthought and a burden.
