Working for a dairy manufacturing company in Laguna, PhilippinesThe good thingsI enjoyed working in Hacienda Macalauan, Inc. because of their dairy product lines. Working on dairy products have really piqued my interest and challenged me. Not only that, the plant is situated in the farm itself and staff houses are provided, so the employees are exposed to a fresh environment far from the polluted areas. Lastly, the owner is generous in terms of salary and training.
The challengesOne of the challenges that I have faced during my employment in HMI was that they tend to have an erratic production schedule, though they are trying their best to work on that. There are also cases of product complaints due to spoilage and other quality issues, but currently, they have a HACCP and GMP system in place. This, in effect, have minimized such issues.
