This company will spend money on frivolous "appreciation gifts" and items for the employees such as ear buds or a water bottle. I can't say for sure if it was the 6 days a week (12 hr) for over an entire year or the moment I no longer had the "promotion" pay of an extra 50 cents an hour more than non-promoted employees and was still expected to adhere to the attendance and standards of having a promotion.The 1 1/2 hours of drive time a day was no longer worth it. Somewhere along the way pilgrim's let me down. Ready for a new life in a forever dream job. An opportunity for a promotion came along and I proceeded to advance. I pushed thru, got more support from my on-boarding team, worked my tail off, made that money for the 1st year. JBS USA Holdings Inc., which owns Pilgrim’s, is an American food processing company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of JBS S.A., a Brazilian company that is the world’s largest processor of fresh beef and pork.My experience in the beginning with pilgrim's was terrible. Some chicken processing and meatpacking plants had issues with COVID-19 spread. This includes hiring new team members to conduct additional, around-the-clock sanitation and cleaning services, and to provide education, training and enforcement of COVID-19 preventive measures. During the pandemic, Pilgrim’s has invested more than $65 million to enhance safeguards for team members and to reward them with thank-you bonuses. The company operates more than 30 meat poultry and prepared foods plants employing 31,000-plus people. Pilgrim’s anchors dozens of rural communities. The program will include donations to alleviate food insecurity, strengthen long-term community infrastructure and well-being, and support COVID-19 emergency response and relief efforts.Īll funds will be committed by the end of the year. Nationally, the $20 million investment from Pilgrim’s, as part of the $50 million nationwide contributions from JBS USA. Pilgrim’s is an important contributor to the Alabama economy, Pilgrim’s has an annual payroll in Alabama of more than $113 million and has contributed more than $146 million in capital investments over the last five years. Pilgrim’s has a strong presence in the state of Alabama, employing more than 3,200 people and paying family farmers nearly $89 million each year to support the area facilities. “We are thankful for Pilgrim’s presence in our state.” “Pilgrim’s level of corporate social responsibility is profound and coincides with the company’s vision to create opportunities for a better future for team members,” Jones added. The $1.6 million quality of life initiative will provide much-needed strength and relief during an unprecedented time in history.” Russellville’s project, for example, includes a community splash pad that will be the largest in the state of Alabama, able accommodate 175 children at one time. We will overcome this together.”Įconomic developer Nicole Jones said, “Pilgrim’s, a dominant employer in Alabama, has showcased their belief in community with a generous investment in Enterprise, Guntersville, and Russellville, local areas in which their employees live and work. I am grateful for Alabama’s collaboration on this initiative and for the strong partner we have in Pilgrim’s. “The Pilgrim’s Hometown Strong initiative is not only helping local communities respond to the ongoing pandemic, but it is also positioning us for a strong comeback and future. “There is no doubt that COVID-19 has taken a toll on Alabamians, but because of strong partners like Pilgrim’s, we are bringing much-needed relief to communities around our state,” said Alabama Gov. Tracking COVID-19 in Alabama We are tracking the spread of COVID-19 on our data and mapping dashboard. Pilgrim’s plans to partner with local officials and community leaders in Enterprise, Guntersville and Russellville to identify investment projects that strengthen these hometowns where the company’s team members live and work. “Through this initiative, we’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with local leaders and our team members to determine how best to make meaningful and lasting impacts in our communities.” “It is because of the great work being done in our hometowns that Pilgrim’s is able to provide high-quality chicken to families across our country,” said Fabio Sandri, the interim president and CEO of Pilgrim’s. The investment is part of a new, national $20 million initiative called Hometown Strong that adds to commitments Pilgrim’s has made this year to protect employees and ensure their job security amid the global pandemic. The food company Pilgrim’s announced plans last week to invest $1.6 million in Alabama to help local communities respond to the coronavirus crisis as well as to invest in the future.
