STANBROKE BEEF

What could have been a good place to work, was turned into a miserable work environment with decisions made by management to allow less skilled foreign workers to take over and skip ahead of other more skilled and experienced workers to higher paying jobs.

What made it difficult was the work load demanded from management and the sub-standard pay increases that were up to $5 less than other meat-works.  The excuse that the plant was not as capable as other plants is laughable, as the company that funds the plant has been boasting about high profits.

When the meat union got involved in the plant, nothing was done to help a union worker, who had been a union member as long as they had been working at the plant, when they were one of the first to be made redundant during a slow season.  When the chance arose for the union to actually do what they had been preaching about when the new EBA came to be debated, the union representative did nothing and went on holiday.

Co-workers were fun to be around though.

The average day for me composed of A grade work as a neck bone, I was never made permanent A grade and when I enquired about it I was informed that I had to learn other B grade job's around the plant before being made A grade.  I wasn't the only one who was treated like this as other people where put ahead of more skilled and seasoned people.  Despite all of this the friends I made there are long lasting and while under the main foreman I felt I was treated better.

It was quite tiring but fun, had learnt a lot like Using Pallett Jacks Scanning , organising, Pallettizing wrapping cleaning when the products come slow and the hard part is when only a few of us and the products come in fast

I worked in Value Add and learned how to pack and check the labels, it's an easy department which you don't need to carry heavy stuff, just pack some steak and mince which has been vacuumed. Approximately stayed for two weeks to learn how to do the job well, coworkers are all good and be patient to tell you how to do. 

It was very competitive work and hard work if you didn't have the heart or strength your not going to last long. 

long hours, hard and competitive work and harsh foreman and supervisors is my complete review

Hardworking production line, learnt how to process livestock and dispatch to multiple production lines. Multicultural team environment but friendly and honest people. Hardest part of the job is the physical and long standing work and long hours.

Terrible handling of breakdowns etc expecting people to work from 6am till after 10pm and expecting to be back at 6am without a sufficient break. Keeping workers at work during floods, not letting them get to their families.

Was a good place to work. Its definitely a culture place with alot of asians, Chinese and indians  at but management wasnt that good. Hours were good and also good breaks but sometimes overtime was upto an hour plus

My co workers made working fun, management had a few issues but apart from that it was a great place to work at. The education of the place was great, working new areas was easy as somebody would help you as you trained in the area.

long hours plus they throw in O/T   already doing 11 hour days   pay is not that great not if your just on one income,  not for this day and age.    Very little communication between management etc.
