J.R. Simplot Employee Reviews for Warehouse Manager

"Great private company, left to go back to school for advancement."

What do you like about working at J.R. Simplot?

"There was little bureaucracy to accomplishing my tasks. My supervisor appreciated my hard work. Everyone at the company genuinely cared about the well-being of each other. Once all my tasks for the day were accomplished, my supervisor would allow me to leave for school (I was paid hourly, so I worked extra hard to get through community college and transfer to university)."

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

"Basically, just be yourself. They're a 'salt of the earth' type of business. You don't have to put on a show."

What don't you like about working at J.R. Simplot?

"There was little room for advancement. I could have stepped into my supervisors role as warehouse manager for a meager pay increase. After that, there was only the regional logistics manager at the top of the ladder, and I thought I could do better. That's the same reason I left the Army."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I thought they did an excellent job and I appreciate them helping me to get through school. We still talk and and they're thrilled that I've graduated university. If they had a position in my field I would absolutely return to work for them."
