Thank you for your review! We're excited to see that the investment we're making in our people is resonating with our employees, especially the area of engagement! As you mention, there are challenges faced in a matrix organization (as with any other) that we're constantly trying to improve upon. We're excited for a few specific items that have improvements on the way (with support from the Divisions and Corporate groups), and hope that the changes on the horizon will provide the Plant locations with more resources to accomplish their goals. If you'd like to talk further about anything at all, we'd love to hear more from you. Please email us at connect@sonoco.com

Pros

Sonoco really loves to help their employees grow. They invest in the training and development of each of their employees and help you reach your career goals. The culture is top notch and feels like you are part of a family.

Cons

The onboarding process isn't very consistent. While there are opportunities to be promoted, its not as fast as other companies because people don't tend to leave Sonoco for a long time.
