Pros

Not locked in a office all day.

Cons

Upper management has no clue what happens in field. Horrible changes have lost good employees. Sales reps catch heat from store managers because pallets of plus outs in stores from upper management. They treat their employers like garbage. Low pay, low reimbursement for car and mileage. This company is on a downward spiral.

Pros

Not being stuck in one location all day. Nothing else to write. I have no other positives to say about how this company operates

Cons

Pay, management, corporate management, work life balance, etc Sales use to be fun. You built relationships with your accounts. Afterall, they want to make money too. However, Kelloggs has taken it too far. They have no consideration for the accounts we serve or the relationships we have built. They destroy it with one auto ship all the time.

Kellogg Values, are they real?

Pros

Depending on the division where you work, you will see a stark difference. The VP of Research Quality and Technology, Margaret Bath, was an excellent leader who sincerely cared about her people and tried to provide employees with a good work-life balance and positive environment. She was under a tremendous amount of pressure to perform and was able to lead calmly through the storm. Very positive environment in this division where she should be the CEO. Throughout the organization, safety is promoted.

Cons

When you hear about the K Values they are definitely in decline. It was impressive to see how the leadership change from ex-CEO, Carlos Gutierrez who truly lived the K-Values started to die once he left. David McKay, was a decent man as well as John Bryant but they were both too concerned with meeting the quarterly results for Wall Street. CEO's should be looking out 25 years and setting the company up for long-terrm success. I don't blame them but the immediate gratification mentality in which we live. One thing that John Bryant did was to promote a very aggressive COO, Alistair Hirst, to reach the supply chain numbers. He was and is, in my opinion a person who believes that the only way to manage is through intimidation. The tougher you were in the plant, the better opportunity to be promoted. The long hours, politics and intimidation created an atmosphere that was conducive to finger-pointing, lack of team-work and for operators to hide the true numbers if they were bad. I truly hope things are getting better.
