Youfoodz

A lot of good people but a lot of pressure to be fast and do everything properly. Training not the best for many jobs. Seems like HR are useless as a lot of people don’t turn up repeatedly or not for weeks at a time but for some reason they are not fired. Makes it hard for everyone else as when short staffed everyone else has to work harder. 
Typical food manufacturing with many unskilled workers who have poor English skills. Pay similar to other places but casuals shifts can change constantly with little notice.

Pros are food vending machines selling meals at 40% off and staff discount when ordering. Cons are street parking only so can walk for 15 minutes to park and it’s not secure. Management seem stressed a lot and that flows down to workers feeling stressed as well.

Working for a start up company you would think the business would have a progressive and proactive approach. Instead picture 80's style management method with extreme levels of reactiveness, i.e. nothing gets done until someone complains about it. Communication levels between teams are non existent and people are constantly throwing each other under the bus. Senior management are either too busy patting each others backs or lack the back bone to address any issues with each other. Not to mention the ceo, who in most cases would show leadership, but instead the only thing he is leading; is his wallet. 

Culture wise, there's good and bad. But thick of neighbours or home and away at work. If you want to go back to highschool and find out which employee is sleeping with who, then it's the place to be.

Overall, not the ideal workplace for me. This is my review, so take it as you may. 



the only downsides of my experience at Youfoodz  is induction was very informal-it can be greatly difficult to hear one another and understand some of the staff. Had there been a more formal induction and shown where everything is and the  how everything functions thoroughly, the transition would've been straight forward. 
The biggest issue for myself at Youfoodz though was the zero breaks-I keep very well hydrated, and to go without water for 6-7hours was the deal breaker. I experienced dehydration headaches every night about half way through a shift, could no longer cope after a few shifts. 
Had the company offered breaks after four hours (as they legally should), even just for 10 minutes, l would've definitely stuck around.

A typical day would be seeing what needs to be done on the Youfoodz app for the next day or two. Getting all machines and product ready for cutting. Cut and prepping the products. Weighing and tagging all finished products. Cleaning down at the end of the shift. Signing off with QA. I learned how to lead a team and the how to communicate with other team leaders/supervisors/QA/managers. The workplace culture of people on the floor is good, unless you’re in a leadership role. People in leadership roles are under a lot stress and must deal with all problems even if caused by HR or another department. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I liked the management here very much.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Less working hours in some department.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I really like the environment because everyone used to call each other lovingly.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
There wasn’t a typical day for me there.

In my time working at youfoodz they didn’t pay my super for 10+ months (others for years), they cancel shifts with little to no warning before you’re already on your way to work, there is a lot of bullying and discrimination and management turns a blind eye. The work load for my specific role was absurd with unrealistic time frames (almost physically impossible and you end up going home feeling broken)

Its a good place to work, with good ethical values and ethnic groups.
daily its like a new day. So feel refreshed with the work and learned ethical values, how to behave in work environment. management was extra-ordinary. most enjoyable part of job is its a day by day growing business so feel like its a family environment because most of the time i am at work.

Constantly getting told to hurry up & going from one line to the next. You have to look around to get the feel of it all so you can take it all in. And most of the current employees tell you where to go even though they might not be supervisors themselves. But it's a learning curve for me because I have just started working there myself.

Youfoodz is good company for earnings but in this company too much discrimination. They just look for approaches to approve a person for higher positions even those people will be dump . Company never see the capability which is required for higher positions.

Good place to work the pay is decent, work load can be a bit much at times...working in such a confined space can stressful. Most of the staff are super friendly.
