Tyson Reviews

There is very little time for family or a personal life as a team member at Tyson. We work 6 days a week with occasional 7 day work weeks. If you have a family plan on not seeing them. Tyson will consume your life with work. We have a 13 point attendance system, every time you don't show up for work you get a point. Once you reach 13 points you're fired. There are exceptions to the rule but very few.

Long hours- ten to twelve hour days are very normal as is working 6 days a week. Although they pay their salaried team members well the hourly workers are underpaid for the extremely hard work that is required of them. As a result they have a annual turn over rate of over 100%. They have over 1000 hourly workers at the Shelbyville plant so they have to hire over 100 team members a month to keep the plant staffed. As a result the work force has been tapped out so they mostly get uneducated non english speaking workers.
