Overall Good

Pros

Overall the company seems to care about their people and treats them well. There are always a few bad apples, but the majority are good people. Safety is the #1 priority except for facility maintenance.

Cons

Communication can always be improved but the biggest con is the facilities. Sonoco has some of the worst looking manufacturing facilities. They put $ into everything but maintaining facilities. Every parking lot is full of holes and every roof leaks horribly which are both safety issues.
