Corporate management falsifies character, reputation, and conduct of employees resulting in termination

Anonymous employee

Pros

The benefits are mediocre at best. PTO could be better. The people are friendly and the environment is causal. You receive a free bag of jerky a day.

Cons

The team you are hired onto will greatly affect your success and happiness here. You can love your job, own your role, work hard, and build a great rapport with your co-workers. However, if your managers fail to see your success and credibility, despite your efforts, you will end up micro managed, harassed, belittled, overworked, stressed, and have no sense of job security. Efforts to show improvement, whether or not you actually needed it, goes no where. They take a very long time to hire and are quick to fire without investigating or second thought.

Pros

Great category and quality brand and product

Cons

Troy and Jack Link have only their best interests in mind. They are so stingy and close-minded that employees and customers and vendors openly dislike them.

Pros

Decent wages, relaxed atmosphere, casual dress code.

Cons

Where to begin. There are definitely 2 schools of thought in the company. Sadly the school that gets its way is the old timers. The "good ole boys" all talk a good game but want nothing that is not their idea. If a decision does not give them 100% of the glory they want nothing to do with it. Any outside ideas will be tossed out as stupid and if the ideas make it to testing every chance they get it will be sabotaged to make it look like only their old ways work. There is no honor in most of the upper management and they will do whatever it takes to prevent positive change. They set lofty goals that can not be accomplished with a company of their size and then get upset when goals are not achieved. This company needs a major shakeup in upper management to make it even remotely functional. If you are an insider you are untouchable, if you are an outsider you are expendable. Be leery of any opportunity here.
