JR Simplot – “Probably the best place to work in Grand Forks, ND that pays well starting if you're applying for an operator position”

Pros

Good starting wage for an operator 12 or higher, depending on shifts
Nice team leads and management

Cons

Seniority. Seems like you have to work at Simplot for 20 years to snag any job or a shift. YOu can get booted from any shift from someone who as worked longer there.
HR is a mess
Schedules are awful, they have 4, day, evening, nights and rotation

Advice to Senior Management

Fix the schedules up, hire part timers for weekends, get rid of the rotating shifts. Be flexible with schedules and quit the whole seniority thing. Performance should matter. Even sonorities don't make much compared to new hire. Find a way for people to get out of the Union.
