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.

Pros

Pay is ok, but benefits have been trending downward.

Cons

Toxic upper management. Never practice what the preach. Senseless overtime. Safety disregarded for lbs out the door. Difficult to advance. Office personnel receive higher bonuses, but do less work.
