“Wakefield Pork is a company of hard working and caring people that gives its employees a feeling of ONE BIG FAMILY. Everyone learns to help each other out, farm-to-farm if necessary.”
- Kris Sperl (West Unit, Farrowing Department Herdsman)
“Having worked professionally in management and sales all of my career, I’ve been very impressed with the business philosophy of WPI, both in it’s management and growth, and in the treatment and compensation of its employees. WPI offered me the choice and challenge to grow and achieve the goals that I had set for myself. Joining the Wakefield Pork team has been a great career opportunity.” - Gary Trimnell (Nursery & Finishing Field Representative)
“The “family” type atmosphere and closeness between management and employees is enjoyable. Everyone at WPI is known by name and recognized for good effort and accomplishment.”
- Scott Foster (Langhorst Unit Manager)
“WPI business philosophy is simple… production and results by teamwork. This is done by giving everyone the best chance to succeed by providing resources and references to anyone seeking learned opportunities. WPI has helped me as a manager by keeping me informed of the ‘big picture.’ In return, I pass this ‘big picture’ to my staff so they can understand what affects production and in turn help them become a part of this process. I leave you with a quote that reflects my perception of WPI management…. “The archer strikes the target, partly by pulling, partly by letting go.”
- Todd Flatness (MP 2 Unit Manager)
“WPI is a growing, family-oriented company that genuinely cares about every individual employed on its staff. Company owners truly want to provide each individual with the opportunity to succeed. They make themselves available to voice concerns and ask questions, which shows the extent that they care for each individual.” - Mary Meyer, (MP 3 Unit Manager)
“I have been with WPI for 8 ½ years. They have always treated employees fairly and recognized those who do their job well.”
- Bill Lebrun (Nursery & Finishing Field Representative)
