Thank you for your review! We're excited to see that the investment we're making in our people is resonating with our employees, especially the area of engagement! As you mention, there are challenges faced in a matrix organization (as with any other) that we're constantly trying to improve upon. We're excited for a few specific items that have improvements on the way (with support from the Divisions and Corporate groups), and hope that the changes on the horizon will provide the Plant locations with more resources to accomplish their goals. If you'd like to talk further about anything at all, we'd love to hear more from you. Please email us at connect@sonoco.com

Pros

The salary was good, and the people in the department I worked in were friendly

Cons

Politics at the company were tricky to navigate. Success was more about who liked you rather than merit. Bad behavior would go unaddressed if the person was liked
