In reply to the discussion: Hostess Brands/Interstate Brands Business Practices from a person who lived it (My mom) [View all]politicaljack78
(312 posts)11. That is awesome, you're bro and my mom worked at the same place....
It's Drakes off of 46 and 23.
I live in the Hillcrest section of Paterson again, after living in Pompton Lakes and New Brunswick. I work for a home improvement business in Fairfield. My dad worked at Nabisco in Fair Lawn, Titan Tools in Oakland (before they kicked out the Union employees) and ASM in Fairfield. My mom worked for Vanguard in Paterson, Scholmbach Lubeca in Pine Brook, and Drakes aka Interstate Brands in Wayne. Small world we live in.
The bonus system is a bogus system, if you ask me. I have no idea how someone can justify taking more themselves off the hard work of someone else, having done minimal or nothing at all, and offer the person peanuts in return.
