Profitable company with painfully bureaucratic culture. It feels like the 1970s working there.

Pros

Working for Kellogg's is good for your resume because everyone recognizes the company. This company is doing very well financially. They are crushing their competition, General Mills. They also have very innovative products in their category.

Cons

Kellogg's is stuck in the '70s when it comes to hierarchy and management styles. There are a lot of great people there, but the culture is just stale and it is impossible to ever suggest a new idea. The business is not going to need most of its sales reps because computer-controlled distribution platforms are eventually going to be able to do that job instead. Also, working in the food industry as a manager is a bad career decision because the industry is getting smaller and smaller every day. In the future, it will not take very many people to run these companies, so the career prospects are poor.

Pros

The daily challenges. We have the potential to be great but we do not take advantage of all of our resources. The idea that you can work in a variety of different areas. You can spend an entire career at Kellogg's and with internal movement, you can hold a miriade of different positions. Also, even though K values are most often a thing that people shrug off as garbage, the idea behind them is fantastic. The closer you get to Battle Creek, the closer to actually living the values comes into play. It is deluited as you leave the Battle Creek city limits.

Cons

Constant change. We don't try things long enough to see if they will work. We also don't think things through on all levels. Too many decisions are made behind doors without asking the advice of people who are front line employees. You are looked upon as only being as good as your last act. A hundred good acts are forgotten when 1 thing doesn't go right. The front line managers are not treated with the respect that they should be. There is nothing wrong with expecting certain accomplishemnts from your people, but not giving people the resources they need coupled with the constant threat of losing their jobs is not a way to motivate people.

Kelloggs is a great place to work.

Pros

The committment that leadership dipslays and the support that is given to Managers in getting the projects completed. The ability that indiviudals have to showcase their talents, and that talent being recognized. The level of committment from the Managers is perhaps the best I have seen among the 3 companies I have worked for in my 20 years of manufacturing experience. The drive and detremination they show in getting the needed business results is best practice.

Cons

The long hours, the work life balance is not what it should be for a Company that has a set of principles (K Values). The communication of the strategic vision from Corporate is not well communicated to the various Business Units and the interaction with Corporate is strained at times. The IT support is thin and the ability to have IT professionals interact on the production floor to help resolve issues does not exist, this slows down the return on investment that we need to deliver back to the Company.
