I have worked there for 18 years 2 different times. Always had great benefits, and great co-workers. People come and people go, Mr Locke had a good thing set up. Take more than one person to bring it down. As long as there is good people working there it will keep going. LUV YA'LL

Just a great place to work for, been doing it since 1976. I do still miss Mr. Locke. He was a smart and fair man. I really don't know the officers of the company like in pass. They seem to be doing a good job. I only have a few years before retiring. I will always be a Locke employee. Thanks for so many years of making a living.
