Pros

Trying to give to most honest review I can. Honestly drawing a blank. Salaried workforce is usually trauma bonded. I regret ever working here.

Cons

I’ve worked at multiple sites, general list across all locations… - If you decide to work here, negotiate your start pay as high as you can, because unlikely you’ll get a raise outside of merit increases (3-4%) - Very “low trust” environment where everyone is made to constantly worry about who you can trust - Culture for salaried workforce across multiple locations is miserable - People aren’t recognized unless they do something bad - Corporate puts way too much work on HR’s back without considering field responsibilities (recently taking over payroll with many locations having only one HR role, and eliminating accounting departments) - Corp “leaders” will come for your wallet if you try to leave - New HRIS system is an absolute mess and no one in corp team implementing HRIS changes is being held accountable - Little work life balance - Been put in many dangerous personnel situations at work without concern from bosses - Personal sexual harassment claim not investigated for a year - Cases of insider trading in C suite even from Mike King - Beverage converting sites are getting shut down so there is no push from corp to improve anything

Pros

It's a paycheck. They seem to take safety at their plants very seriously. My supervisor. I'm looking for another job.

Cons

Too many to list. Its a very successful company, but that does not mean they reward employees with that success. They have plenty of opportunities for easy morale boosters, but they only give lip service to how important the employees are. Below market area pay, appalling benefits (compared to other companies in the metro area), inflexible hours, telecommuting only for their benefit (such as grossly extreme weather conditions or power outages and management has deadlines that need to be met), very, very, very dismal corporate office space that's filthy and needs both equipment and furniture updates for their employees "that are so important to them" to be more efficient and productive. Its depressing place to walk through the halls on a daily basis. Combine that with all the miserable people you come in contact with 9.5 hrs. x 5 days a week that is some serious hard time. Eight out of ten people will tell you they are actively seeking alternate employment (and they are public about it--even with their managers!). Oh, and politics, politics, politics. Can't tell you the number of cliques that start at director level (or higher) that just trickle down through the ranks. The worst in-fighting I have ever experienced in my entire career.
