Pros

There are a ton of Pros to this company. Many Members have grown within the company throughout the years I have been here. I see members from the floor stretch and grow into leadership roles all the time. Even in the tough times there is always a sense of unity, we are in this together. If you have the drive and ability you can continue to develop your career here. Many people do not fit the Johnsonville culture and I think those are the ones I see writing bad reviews. We work hard (and play hard) and expect great things from people. Not everyone can live up to that pressure and that is OK. Benefits are great, pay is good, bonus is great.

Cons

Lots of stress. Work/life can be hard to manage for some. Expectations are high. Many Members play the us vs them mentality.

Pros

Loved, loved, loved working for Johnsonville. Nicest people I have EVER worked with. Enjoyable projects and great opportunity for professional growth, without being too demanding. Very laid back and compassionate people. Great work life balance. Very, very sad when the contract ended. Would honestly be willing to move to Michigan to work for them as a salaried employee if an offer were extended (I live in Houston and work remotely). I hate cold weather and am also a vegetarian, so that really says a lot about how wonderful the people are and how much I enjoyed the work. Cannot say enough about how much I loved working for Johnsonville. Five stars is not enough.

Cons

Absolutely zero complaints except that it makes my current job seem like more of a disappointment because Johnsonville raised the bar to a level that not many companies can meet.

Pros

The organization cares deeply about its culture. Every organization as they grow has challenges maintaining culture in every facility and team, but I see Johnsonville investing in just that. A big part of what makes the culture great is the focus on developing my talents. I've grown more at Johnsonville in the last few years than 10 years at a prior organization. They have fully invested in my development and the people I work with care about me. I've experienced the "love your neighbor" mentality here with two young children. They get sick, things unexpectedly come up, and my coach all the way up to senior leadership always ensures I prioritize my family. We've all heard about the "Sunday scaries"... I don't experience those here knowing I have leaders who want me to succeed and have my back. I'm going to be hard pressed to ever leave because of these factors.

Cons

There are opportunities to improve how the organization manages change. To grow, we have to adapt quickly, and I haven't seen Johnsonville thrive yet during big changes. Communication is hit or miss and I don't think our internal change team is staffed to handle the multitude of initiatives. If the organization could figure that out, I think it would lead to more consistent feelings around the culture and senior leadership.
