The interview was easy and based on my production experience in poultry, working in a team environment, long hours, and easy overtime. We discussed weekend work. They have several companies on the property to provide PPE and a grill for lunch, depending on shift hours.

The interview process was pretty good and went easy. I met with different managers, did a tour, and met with the HR department. After that, they put me in a department for another supervisor to train me, but they don't really train you; they expect you to learn on your own.
