Pros

As an employee of Kellogg Snacks, you're pretty much guaranteed the most flexible schedule out there. While working in each of the stores you will also meet so many different people and begin building relationships with each of them, which can really make your workday enjoyable. Its a good feeling when you arrive at each store, and be greeted by name by each of these "friends". The independance is also nice because it gives you a sense of ownership to the job your doing. These things make the job highly motivating to want to go further with the company and become even more involved.

Cons

There is no communication of anything happening with the company. Merchandisers have no incentive to work as hard as they're expected to when they are made to feel non-existent. Good work is not rewarded, yet if you make a mistake it will be noticed and communicated to you immediately. They don't get benefits, no gas re-imbursements, bonuses, awards, or entries into drawings for prizes like the rest of the company, and you'll be lucky if you even receive an annual review much less any pay raise. Merchandisers are extremely unappreciated and overworked. Don't expect to have any kind of quality time with family because even part-time you will be working day and night nearly seven days a week.

Pros

Seems to be a very good steady business with good annual numbers and steady growth. The Food industry in general has probably been one of the better industries to work in of recent and Kellogg in particular has certainly held value. The company is primarily owned by the Kellogg Foundation which was created by the Founder of the company and this has proved very beneficial. This Foundation donates approx 250M-300M on an annual basis for the basic good of people and that certainly creates a very good feeling for its employees.

Cons

Family time is compromised because of back shift work and production facility operating 24/7. I feel that way too much cost oversight is implemented at its various plants where more significant cost savings could be obtained in many of the non-core areas.

Pros

The pay and benefits are pretty good. You are also able to take home snacks at the end of the day.

Cons

The hours are long and sometimes it seems like they undervalue your work ethic. Every once in a while you can get rewarded with a dozen golf balls or a t-shirt, but most of the time they just ride the quality workers more. They tend to put less on the shoulders of the weak and more on the competent, but the pay is all the same. It makes you wonder why you are even putting in an effort if you cannot get promoted and are just given more work.
