Colleague Testimonials at Taste Original
“I started working for Taste Original a couple of years ago, when I applied for a job with ctrg, and was fortunate enough to get this opportunity. Just when I started working, I learnt about a role in Taste Original’s seasoning room and knew it was meant for me. I applied and got through. I am so glad I made this decision as I got to work with some very helpful and nice people here. My boss and supervisors are great and really supportive. 5 years down the road and I have already started working full-time, and there is no looking back for me.”
“During my initial stint with ctrg previously, I received full training for my meat prep role, which helped me get a job at Taste Original. I enjoy working here, the pay rates are good, with great potential to progress and excel. I got to learn new skills on the way, even if those were outside of my work profile, computer skills, communication skills with site auditors explaining to them the importance of day-to-day payroll procedures, just to name a few. I feel more confident working here and see a promising future for myself at Taste Original.”
“I got a job in Taste Original’s low risk site in 2020 through ctrg and I am happily working with them even today. I received full-length training and support for my role as a paperwork operator. I am really grateful for this opportunity.”
“What started as a work experience at ctrg, transgressed into working full-time in the meat prep and batching department with Taste Original. Friendly and helpful colleagues, tremendous support and guidance has made my work journey smooth and also helped to increase my skills set gradually.”
