Pros

The people in the plant were excellent to work with, very dedicated group.

Cons

Corporate staff is too distant in relationship to the plant. Decisions made at corporate and plants are then left to their own devices to implement the bad ideas. Ultimately plants held responsible for the failure of the project. Cost cutting measures did not address vital source of waste in day to day operations. No pay raise for last five years. KPI goals and evaluation system is a joke. They expect a lot for the compensation they provide to mid-management staff.

Pros

Pilgrim's offers and opportunity to earn a good paycheck with good benefits It's a challenging, fast-paced business that offers the right person opportunity for growth and advancement.

Cons

Like any business, other than your own, you are at the mercy of the company and those above you. High probability that you will start on night shift and will be required to go back to night shift with each advancement.
