Pros

There are no significant pros to highlight at this time

Cons

Johnsonville has historically built a strong reputation for investing in its members and supporting long-term growth, which made it a place many were proud to work. Unfortunately, recent changes suggest a shift away from those core values. The removal of the tuition reimbursement program is particularly disappointing, as it was a meaningful benefit that encouraged personal and professional development. In addition, there appear to be growing concerns around decision-making at the leadership level, including within campus production coordination. These decisions have raised questions about direction, consistency, and overall support for teams. A noticeable decline in leadership effectiveness has impacted morale and trust across the organization. It is also concerning to see an increasing number of long-tenured members choosing to leave for other opportunities. Retention trends like this often reflect deeper organizational challenges that may need to be addressed

Pros

- GPS Bonus or what little there is - company events - some growth opportunities

Cons

Clear division between the salary corporate and hourly rate individuals. Johnsonville is adapting to a corporate culture where they will preach we're losing money but then go off and spend lavishly for the higher ups. Its a prime example of a company preparing to take a nose dive. If you work in the office just prepare for an office of sharks. if you work in the factory just know you're another slab of meat going through the grinder.

Pros

Basically just the pay, but the rest of the county has caught up.

Cons

Very poor leadership, and direction. Hard working members are disrespected by management allowing lazy members to exist. Nobody has the sense that the company cares about them. Office personnel enjoy the perks, while production sacrifices their weekends. Non manufacturing members get a larger share of the profits. Completely unfair. Not the Best Place to Work.
