"Many companies say they want to move into Agile but they are not ready to make the complete move and trust the team. I enjoy building the reasons for this trust and getting the job on track to show progress.However this industry still has some issues with management transparency that hold progress back. I enjoy clearing that barrier."

Director of Engineering at Bay Valley Foods
in Pittsburgh, PA

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Run Away. Empty Promises!"

What do you like about working at Bay Valley Foods?

"The challenges that exist and accomplishing those to try and make it a better place to work. At times, you really have to go to the carpet to justify what you need to make it all better, but it's a good challenge."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be careful what you're promised before coming on board with this company. I've been waiting for some time to get to the next level in my career. There are much better opportunities out there than this company. Stay away from the Pittsburgh factory. There's almost no leadership and there's a cancerous culture that undermines others that are not in the right group or groups."

What don't you like about working at Bay Valley Foods?

"The lack of leadership and direction that's given. There is no and there hasn't been a plant manager at my facility in several years. The unethical behavior that continuously goes on with little to no accountability for those who violate, especially from an environmental perspective. Too much of a culture of if you're not in the clique, then they have it in for you."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Make more sound and resonable decisions. The decisions that are made and lack of making the tough decisions are scary for the life of the facility and the business. Instill some leadership at the Pittsburgh facility. It's like a ship without a captain and the people, salaried and hourly, are out of control due to this."
